FF Davao Meetup

Postby mikong » Tue Dec 01, 2009 3:29 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm going to Davao for a high school reunion this Dec 21-22 and I'll be staying there for a few days after that so I'm hoping I could meet other freethinkers there. I've been reading posts by innerminds and Jobo about wanting to have a meetup in Davao. But before that...

You probably don't know me. I read and comment on the FF blog, and read the mailing list discussions, but I haven't participated in forum discussions (this is actually my first forum post), so let me introduce myself:

I'm Mikong, a Go player (my advocacy, I'm helping grow the Go community in the Philippines) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game). I'm a freelance web developer using Ruby on Rails. I'm a freethinker and an atheist. I like reading manga, watching movies, tv series, and anime, and reading non-fiction books. I graduated BS Physics and BS Computer Engineering from ADMU.

Anyway, it would be great if we could have a meetup in Davao. I have attended some of FF's events like a few meetups, the FFFF event, and the Rational Hero Salon, so I can share some stories about those.

Hi Mikong!

Ah, you're the one who wrote about Mr. Deity in the FF blog. I can meet you here in Davao, and most probably Jobo can join us. Do you drink?

Yo, mikong, finally posted on the forums. You can copy your intro to the Member Introductions forum so everyone can welcome you properly. =)

Bring back some pics from the Davao meetup, and some pasalubong. =)
i lean on my own understanding.

December 21-22?! We will be having a vacation in that week. Its not yet final though. But am very interested with the meetup. I think I can invite another atheist.

Hey Justin. Yes, I remember. :)

innerminds, I don't particularly ask people to go out for a drink, but I do drink occasionally. If that's what you guys prefer, I don't mind.

Durian?!! Baka durian candy na lng pasalubong ko hehe

Hi Jobo. I'm thinking Dec 23 onwards. My HS reunion is on Dec 21-22, so i prefer after that, if possible.

Thanks for the welcome guys. And noted Frank, I'll copy this intro there.

Yes, that's what I (and probably Jobo) prefer. Getting drunk is probably the closest thing to a religious experience we can ever have. 8-)

My Dec. 23 (Wed) is open. I can meet you in the late afternoon or early evening. Do you like seafood? Any allergies? Preferences?

By the way, asa ka nag high school? Unsang batch?

Mikong will be the ambassador of freethought to Davao. Cool. :D
