Hi folks, I just moved to Wellington recently and would love to meet the local mefite population. Anyone up for a meetup? [more inside]

Mrs. schyler523 and I are moving to the area in early February and it would be nice to have a nice pint and whatnot. We'll likely be too busy to hang out until the 15th or so, but any date after that is probably fine. We're familiar with Jack of the Wood (our favorite bar) and the beergarden, but other ideas would be welcomed.

In order to survive the cold damp winters of Portland, I suggest we try to coordinate a midweek game night somewhere around town. [more inside]

Scotch Tasting at aubilenon's house! [more inside]

Small human & I are leaving for Cairns at the end of February - would love to catch up before we move on Feb 12 or 13. Probably afternoon and outside is better - maybe a picnic in Yoyogi park? Alternatively grabbing nikuman and gyoza in Chukagai, Yokohama and running wildly around Yamashita koen is fun too.

Since you helped me start it last November, Big Ideas Social Club has been going strong: we're an entertaining cross between a 17th century salon, a group of bar buddies and the funniest guys and gals you've ever met. Our sixth meeting will be on Groundhog Day and, since it's been a while since I've done it formally, I want to invite MeFites out. [more inside]

Your benevolent dic-taters (me, baxter_ilion, booknerd, Ijon Tichy) have decided that what we need in Chicago is a book club. A good one. [more inside]

So at our last pizza meetup at Ranalli's, it came to my - highly dismayed - attention that several of you people have NEVER SEEN JAWS! That just can't stand. I mean, how can you call yourself a complete soul without having seen Jaws? [more inside]

Hi all. We moved to DC at the beginning of December and although I've already met a few of the area's fine MeFites, I'd like to meet more. My own special snowflakeness: I have a toddler and my significant other comes home late, so weekends are best. Otherwise, what works for others?

I think it's high time we had another Mefi meetup in my beloved burg of Manchester. What say you? Where say you? When say you?

I am helping organize Sacramento's first Mobile Food Festival. We're trying to change a few holdouts on the city council regarding the utility of such businesses - i.e., mobile food trucks and carts - and to overturn the current regulations which pretty much outlaw them inside city limits. We'll have over two dozen vendors, from taco trucks to vegan food and gourmet middle-eastern fare. If you're in Northern California, please do consider attending; even if you're from out of the area, we'd love your help spreading the word, and you can use this short url – bit.ly/sactomofo – to tell folks about us.
