MeFites in the Research Triangle--how about brunch on an upcoming Saturday/Sunday?
SNOW DATE - Groundhog Day (Feb 2)
I made reservations at Milltown for Saturday at 11 am. Just say you are there for "Metafilter" when you arrive!
See you all there!
See you all there!
I would love to!

I am all for this!
Some thoughts: Parker & Otis can be hard to get enough seats at. It's all about the timing, and I haven't eaten there recently enough to know when the busy times are. Grub doesn't have much indoor seating so it might be tricky in the cold months.
As things stand any weekend on the list looks good.

Hi all,
I'd love to meet some fellow North Carolinastan MeFites. Put me down as a "hopeful I will be able to attend!"

PS - I'm in Carrboro, locations there would be ideal but Durham can work too. Thanks y'all!

Lived here 3 years; just learned how to spell Carrboro !
Leaning towards Jan 26 or 27, with a snow date on Groundhog Day (Feb 2). Let me know what you think!

Depending when folks want to meet, Copa in Durham could be a possibility, and they take reservations.
There’s also Mama Dip’s.
No particular preference on dates.

Still trying to decompress from the holidays, but for now I'll say maybe!

Would 11/11:30 be preferrable for folks? I don't really have any preference on this, just picked an arbirtrary date/time from the list so it is on the books.

I genuinely have no excuse not to come to this and I haven't been to a meet-up in a while. Barring unforeseen calamity, I'm there.

11:00 or 11:30 would be better for us on a Saturday.

Seconding everything Thivaia said. Barring disaster, I’ll be there.

My book group is meeting that day to make signs/carpool to the Women's March in Raleigh. Exact time TBD, but as long as it doesn't overlap, I'm in.

ooooohhhh.....maybe I'll actually possibly finally potentially come out to one of these!
I'm a soft maybe for now, and generally very flexible on weekends!

@basalganglia, thanks for mentioning the March. You'll need delicious brunch to fuel the protesting!

I'll be there, but it will probably just be me without the fam. Kiddo's got band practice.

So, I’ve had a surprise out of town guest. I am trying to convince her to come to brunch with me, but it’s possible I won’t make it today. Which is a total bummer.

I am also withdrawing my attendance. For those of you who don't know me, I am a freelance commercial translator. Which basically means I work whenever clients send me work. WHENEVER. Guess who got a project last minute that is going to have her working over the weekend?

Sorry gang, gonna miss this one!

Sad I missed this. I threw out my back last Tuesday, so putting on pants hurt pretty bad. Didn't make it out of the house all weekend. Maybe next time!
