If you have any other questions, please email them to brian@noonhat.com and I will be happy to answer them.
<p>Our matching process is a lot like pulling names out of a hat! </p> <p>Special thanks to <a href="http://www.thenameinspector.com/">The Name Inspector</a> for help selecting the name. He also wrote a post about <a href="http://www.thenameinspector.com/noonhat/">choosing the Noonhat name<a>. Check it out!</p>
<p>After signing up, you'll receive a confirmation email. There is a cancellation link in that email. Open that link in a web browser and click the cancel button.</p> <p>If you no longer have that email, please send email to cancel@noonhat.com</p>
First, cancel your previous registration (see above), then sign up again.
There are a few aspects of Noonhat which I hope will keep the creep factor low: <br/> <ul> <li>The site tries to make groups of 3-4 people whenever possible. (I think this helps reduce awkwardness among non-creepies, too.) </li> <li>For creeps with a specific agenda, the site isn't so useful: They won't know the gender or age of any of the people they'll get matched up with. </li> <li>It's always OK to bring a friend to lunch with you.</li> <li>Lunch is generally a pretty safe setting. Pick a busy public space, and leave if anything seems weird.</li> </ul> <p>(If you're a creep and you're thinking about signing up, go somewhere else. We'll make fun of you in public and call the police.)</p> <p>Disclaimer: We can't be responsible for what people do after we introduce them. Be nice, this is meant to be fun.</p>
Yes! You're welcome to bring a friend with you to the lunch. Try not to bring all of your friends though, it's likely to be easier to find a table if the group size doesn't get <em>too</em> big. ;)
No worries! When you start coordinating with your lunch partners to decide where to eat, just let them know what kind of food you can and can't eat. Also, you might suggest a restaurant or two which has food you like.
<p>In order to meet up for lunch, you'll need to communicate with your partners by email. Also, the point of Noonhat is to meet new people and get to know them, so I encourage you to use your normal account.</p> <p>However, If you don't want to share your normal email address, the best thing to do is create another email account to use for Noonhat. Many companies will give you a free email account you can read via the web. I like <a href="http://mail.google.com">GMail</a>. </p>
<p>I recommend wearing an unusual hat. :)</p> <p>You'll have to work this out via email in the morning. Some ideas: make a reservation at the restaurant under a specific name which everyone knows, pick a very specific place to meet, describe what you're wearing, or just show up and invite everyone who looks lost to join your table.</p> <p>Also, there is a one page <a href="/static/img/NoonhatSign.pdf">Noonhat Sign</a> which you can print out and bring to the restaurant.</p>
