[Troy Spiral (13)]

The Gathering 29 at The Red Apple Restaurant & Inn  

32711 Michigan Ave, Wayne, MI 48184 <--- Directions via Google

7:30 Thursday, September 22nd.

Really Big Sign Hard to miss.  

 

 

 

A casual dinner time gathering in a "Denny's like" environment. 

Club Attire Encouraged but not Required

GLBT, Fashion Models, Cosplayers  Goths, DGNers, Ex DGNers Re-Goths, Goths for a day, Horror Movie and Sci Fi (especially SW, ST, BSG and GoT ofc fans.) MTG players. Ingressers.

The spiritually inclined, Science & History buffs. General weirdos.

Totally normal open minded people. 

All welcome. 

Like all DGN events this is NOT particularly kid friendly*. 



Hope to see you there! Please invite any and all you think might be REMOTELY  interested!

Bring a good attitude! Please help Invite! If you want a card ask!  If you really want one ask here in this topic. 

 

*like DGN itself , this is not "kid friendly". You can bring them but No F-Bombs will be held back.  No sexual innuendos (or straight up sex talk) will be spared.  If you can't get a sitter and your kids are not SUPER well behaved leave them in a kennel at home with food & water. 

This is NOT the place to post about how you're going somewhere else , or doing something else or intentionally not coming or some other BS.  Thanks. 

 

 

That being said, Please help us get the word out!

 

 

 Looking forward to seeing you!

 

 

 

If you would like one of our weekly "The Gathering" cards (Some Examples). Ask in person at The Red Apple <--- key step. 

 

*If you really want to make sure you get one. Just ask here (not in the FB page, that will be futile) and make sure you show up before me.   Some time after I walk in the door and whoever has asked for a card (here) has priority. **

 

 

 

Cards Fine Print

**If for some reason there are not enough cards to go around  (There are typically only 7)

1.  Ask at the gathering for a card (first come first serve, with the below exceptions)

2. If your name is not in this topic I'll hold off until someone  who does have their name IS in this topic asks for a card. 

3. Asking in this topic means you have priority over someone who has not, everyone that asks here will get one before someone who has not.

4. I'll hold one for Permanent Benefactors until its clear the aren't coming if they've asked here.  (If you are unsure what this is don't worry about it or have a look here)

5.  If you've asked here , just ask at the gathering and you should get a card with no problem. 

6.  The order in which you ask here is not necessarily first come first serve unless there is somehow a "tie" asking at the gathering, then the order you ask here would break that tie. 

 

Hopefully none of the above will be super necessary and there will never be any drama over the theoretically "for fun" cards.  (there never has been)      But please request a card HERE if you want one.

I assume I'm going.

Also I want a card. (Seriously there are only 8 of them if you want one please ask, here) also once someone asks for one that triggers 'the carding' and it follows the 'flow chart' rules listed above.

 

If I can get some damn rest I want to try and make some special ones for people that have helped a lot but when that's gonna happen I dunno. Still haven't really rested up from the hospital yet.

Asking for a card if I manage to get there.

I also am requesting a card if I can make it.  Seems car has developed a new problem and we need to figure out if it's fixable cheaply.

[Scary Guy]

Don't say "please come" though, as it sounds pathetic and weak.  Say "If you don't come you're missing out" instead or something like that.  It's psychology.  They aren't helping you (or at least they don't need to know that.) You're helping them by giving them a place to go and something to do that isn't sitting at home doing nothing.  In reality both are true but to some people if it seems like they're doing you a favor they equate that to "work" and "work" = "bad".

Although maybe we don't want those types anyway and therefore the people who do go are of a higher quality.

Last week's turnout was pretty good sine all the people who occasionally come decided to do so on the same day.  I'm looking forward to this week.

[Draco1958]

If anyone near Taylor is going, I would appreciate a ride if possible.

[TronRP]

Me and the Monchichis will be there. I wish we could stay late like we did all summer, but school beckons and I must adhere to the role of "model guardian"...  (whatever)

And yes, I am requesting a card please...

[Michael8402]

I am not sure if I will be making it or not.  Chel is in PA for the week and I am beating myself up trying to get the motorcycle working again.  

[Trene4000]

I will be there! Yes, card please!

Yeah even when I typed it i thought it was a bit too "begging" sounding.  Just didn't give enough of a damn at the time to change it, was feeling so shitty.  Your secondary point is true to , although I do look at it almost like they are "doing something for me" the FIRST time they come.  After that no.   

 

Feeling iffy health wise, but I'll probably still make it.

I will be there tonight and I am requesting my #2 card.  I apologize for being lazy and not posting the last few weeks.  I am back to my regularly scheduled posting. :-) As always, looking forward to seeing everyone and having some good conversations! :-)

[Marblez]

I want a card. I will be there late like always, but I'll be there. 

[Maureen Falcon]

[RosyBlue]

I will be there and am requesting card #3, if possible, please. 

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Well I was going to just manmode it down there but I've been developing a cough ever since the last day at the hospital it was really minor. Not so now,  wouldnt want to give it to anyone. 

I'm really trying to get down there damn it!

Hopefully I can still get the cards down there.

Feel bad about not making it. Like I'm failing you guys.

[kat (1)]

I'm just sitting here outside 

[kat (1)]

Come outside there arr crackheads dancing to Runaway Train from my radio 

[Michael8402]

Sorry I didn't make it.  I have been beating myself up with the motorcycle and not feeling myself with Chel being gone.

[Draco1958]

Sorry I didn't make it.  Couldn't find a ride but car went into the shop today.  Hopefully it's only the 1 freeze plug that is bad.

[Scary Guy]

Runaway Train is a good song.

I hope everyone who didn't make it feels better and/or gets their shit taken care of.

I hope the same for a few that went too.
