tasty_kateYesterday was the Whovian meet up that I started to plan the end of December. I sent out invites a few times and got about eight people who responded that were interested. Long story short, only ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badluck97 and my Dad (who has been watching the show since it came over to the States and introduced it to me last year) was able to make it out. Thankfully the company made for great conversation. :)
It took place at Monk's Cafe, a small but VERY well-stocked Belgian bar. A bit after 6:00, we parted ways. I feel like it was a success, even if it were a small one. I think I'll plan for another when the weather gets warmer and maybe some place different. I could see how a small, low-lighted bar setting may have dissuaded some people from meeting others online.

I'm glad you liked it though! ^__^

Ooh, you're icon twins with
