Hey Folks,

Not sure if it is a common practice around here but would be good to arrange a lil catch up with some of the Jakarta bloggers.

Feel free to post some ideas or comments abt that and hope to find some enthusiastic people!

Cheers,

Hi, if you like photography,..probably we can stroll around jakarta and take a photograph :)

Dud@ms

Haha! Yeah but I was more thinking about a more social type of catch up.
But good idea bro!

Quirkay

mhmm social type?! like hang out and drink ..and that'll fun too i guess..let me know if you arrange some meeting (or probably only for expat, yes?)

GuestPoster2980

That sounds great.  Send me a message and we can arrange the details!

Jessica Lee

Dud@ms

WOW! 2 answers in one day! Unbelievable! So we are now 4 volunteers. That is a start. :)

Let see if some more people would like to join and then we can start talking about a venue!

Alright folks, something is in the works.  If you are comfortable to do so, send me your email address in a personal message here.  Is everyone ok with meeting in a central Jakarta location?  Grand Indonesia or ex mall, something like that?  What day and time might work best for you.  Saturday evening sounds perfect for me.  Let's get this going!

Dud@ms

Sounds good to me mate. Can we make this on a saturday evening? got my usual friday drinks & Reggae nite @ Jaksa... :)
Any spot with a chill out athmosphere and maybe a pool table would do for me. I ain't too picky! Sending my email address by PM to you now.  Speak soon

Hey guys, I am new here, Im up for that as well!do u mean this saturday Dudams?

Dud@ms

Probably happening ard the 6th of november now. This week end is a bit of a short notice and next week would be Halloween!
Keep in touch.

GuestPoster2980

Let's make November 6th a definite!  I'm in, location to be determined but central is good.  FX, EX or grand. Weigh in if you have an opinion.

Sounds good. I am new to Jakarta and am looking forward to it.

Dud@ms

what about Indochine? There's a bar, disco and live band place so everyone can find something he likes.

any other ideas!?

GuestPoster2980

I've never been there but I'm up to check it out.  I'll probably be there between 8 and 830 to grab a bite (Dudm@s, how's the food there?) If you personal message me I can send my mobile phone number so you can contact me if you get lost or can't find us within Indochine.  Is there a good obvious place to meet inside?
Hasta Pronto!
PS I'll be ringing the Halloween weekend in in Kemang tomorrow. Let me know if you want to hang!

jschuch

I'd love to join the meet up at Indochine next weekend, keep me posted!

GuestPoster2980

Alright, Set for Saturday. Indochine at FX mall, 830-9 ish.  I'll get a table when I go in.  If you tell them you are at the table for Melissa hopefully they'll take you to it.
I hope to see you all there!!

Dud@ms

Table already booked from 0830 onwards in the outside area under mel's name. How many people are joining?

Quirkay

topic sticked ;)

Dud@ms

Tiens, le fondateur!
Joining us? :)

Julien

Frankly, it would be a real pleasure :)

maybe in 2011 ?

Dud@ms

That's a deal. If successful, we might make it a monthly event. :)

Julien

Really good idea Dud@ms !

We do organize monthly events here in Mauritius, and everybody appreciates :) (we were 40 last time)

GuestPoster2980

That went well.  About 13 of you made the effort to come out.  You all made my night.  Definitely planning another one for the beginning of December. We'll start a new post for that. 
Until we meet again. . .

Dud@ms

Good to meet you guys! Had blast too.
See you next time.
