The Red Apple Restaurant & Inn

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, the Spiritually Inclined, General weirdos, Totally normal open-minded people.

Horror, Movie and Sci Fi buffs (especially SW, ST, BSG and GoT ofc fans.), MTG players, Ingressers, Science & History buffs.

ALL ARE WELCOME!!! 

If you don't like hugs this is the wrong place.

 

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).  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)

Note:  Ask at The Gathering for a card (first come first serve, with the following exceptions)

1. Asking in this topic means you have priority over someone who has not requested a card.  Everyone that asks here (should) get one before someone who has not asked in this topic.
2. If your name is not in this topic you will not receive a card at The Gathering until those listed here have asked and received a card at the restaurant. 
3. Cards for Permanent Benefactors will be held until it's clear they aren't coming provided they've already asked here.  (If you are unsure what this is don't worry about it or have a look here)
4. If you've asked here, just ask at the gathering and you should get a card with no problem. 
5. The order in which you ask here is vaguely "the sooner you ask the higher the priority" but it is very hard to keep track of.  If you wait until less than 24 hours before the event you risk not getting a card.

 

One card is made for everyone that asks here +2 extra (typically but not always as the extras may vary).

No one except Permanent Benefactors own a particular card number.  If you slacked off or there is a screw up with you getting the card number you wanted, hopefully, you can just trade for a particular card hasslefree.

 

Corporate summary:  Take the whole 2 minutes and ask. If it's not worth two minutes, you don't really want one.

 

It is hopeful that none of the above will be necessary as everyone who wants a card IS GOING TO SAY THEY WANT A CARD HERE RIGHT?  lol

 

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.

This might help. 

This is a picture taken of @Oz_ and Jena at The Gathering 27 on September 9, 2016.  Not sure if they got a card at that time, but it was like the first time they officially ate with us.  We had met Jena the week before and when the area was leaking due to the air conditioning system, that next week, the restaurant staff put us in the greenhouse area and I recognized Jena from the week before and snatched her and Oz in to eat with us.

Wow.  That's coming up on 2 years.  Didn't realize it was that long.  Time flies when you are having fun.

The 'decaying' hand is improving, life is short. The pentagram is 'attracting' (point downward) self-improvement. Pointing toward the stylized  triple spiral each spiral, a lose summary of the work in progress of balancing truth, kindness & courage. Order v Chaos (central internal struggle of mankind) are the 2 left over points of the star as the downward triangle of the pentagram approximate the truth/kindness/courage symbol (the tools we balance to manage that eternal struggle)  Could go on...

 

Fascinating fact: the pentagram despite having close ties to the occult was first widely used as a symbol for christ. (Point upward) the points symbolizing the 5 wounds on the cross. But, it predates Christianity and possibly even humans as it has been found on some of the oldest caves in existence (some debate if non homosapien hominids had the ability to use symbolism) made long before man could read, write or even know how to plant seeds.

[sekhmet2002]

That is really neat info. I like that there is meaning to your art, not just tossing it together. Great job. 

[TronRP]

Yay...we're in no rush tonight...we might actually be staying late just because we can.  

[trav13369]

I have podcast/work stuff (online meeting with my fellow podcasters, and other dramatis personae) to do tonight, so Me, and Goth Bunny and Breakman Z can't attend.

[sekhmet2002]

Hopefully we'll see you soon.
