Location

In a Publix supermarket in Miami Lakes

Participants

aperfectring - Coming from northern Coconut Creek. I will wear a white T-Shirt with the TCP and IP header definitions on it (upside down, so I can read them as a reference).

Million zillion - For identification, I can wear a t-shirt with (non-xkcd) stick figures on it, but I'm open to suggestions.

Plans

Maybe we can rearrange the produce to spell "XKCD". How about 4pm, just like on a Saturday? --Million zillion 21:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Since we are both coming from the north (me further than you), maybe we should meet somewhere in Tamarac around 3:30PM and head down together, to save on gas. I'll bring my GPS unit. --aperfectring 00:49, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Good idea. If you want to take the Sawgrass Expy (and then I-75 to Miami Lakes), then we can meet at the shops at Lakeview Square, just off the Atlantic Blvd. exit of the Sawgrass. I think there's a Dunkin Donuts there. Unless you'd prefer to take the Turnpike, in which case we can meet somewhere near the Commercial exit. --Million zillion 03:56, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

The sawgrass is easier to get to, but only slightly. My entrance is 441, so either way is pretty much the same. The dunkin donuts at lakeview square (its there according to their website) sounds as good a place as any. As on our previous attempt, I will be in the blue dodge stratus, but may go inside for a cup of coffee if I get there early. --aperfectring 04:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

The Sawgrass is the best option for me, so I'd say we have a plan. I'm driving a gray(ish) Acura. --Million zillion 04:49, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I might get there... though, from where I am, Google shows the best route for me as going straight down I-95 and across the Palmetto Expressway, rather than the more roundabout route on the Sawgrass (with a toll), so I might go straight there and bypass the Lakeview meetup.

Expedition

Dtobias drove down from Boca Raton, and ultimately connected with aperfectring and Million zillion in what is apparently the first three-way meetup in South Florida, inside a Publix supermarket in Miami Lakes. It's fortunate that it was an indoor location given the nasty weather that seemed to start just in time for the expedition.
