MeFi IRL

First Wednesday of the month, first Wednesday of the new year! Bring your resolutions and drown them in a tiny beer (in a weird new glass) at the Original Billy Goat Tavern. Then adjourn to the Livewire Lounge (3394 N Milwaukee Ave) for karaoke of the finest sort. [more inside]

Howzabout we kick off 2017 with a little fun and laughter by restarting our semi-regular meetups at Game Haus for a few hours of games? Game Haus 1800 S Brand Blvd #107 Glendale, CA 91204 [more inside]

Would you like to decompress from the holidays? Why not start your year off right with a low-key Metafilter meetup? Join us! Let's meet inside the The George Inn Yard, 77 Borough High St, London SE1 1NH. If there are objections to the venue let me know, I'm happy to meet at a different venue as well (especially if you can suggest a nice quiet place).

Back at it again at The George and Dragon. Our last two weeks were wins so we're going for the hat trick! [more inside]

Come sing glorious music with a real orchestra, professional chorus, opera singers and an audience of complete strangers at one of our national landmarks! It's an annual tradition!

This will be the first community activism meeting of ALERT L.A. Affinity Group(Facebook group link). Structure isn't created overnight, so we're getting together now, so that when action is needed, we already have people and plans. [more inside]

The temperature may be falling, but that won't stop the Taters from conquering another round of Geeks Who Drink trivia at The Rising, Thursday at 7:30. As per usual, please RSVP by Wednesday afternoon so we can reserve a table. [more inside]

I'm visiting the Tri-cities of WA in January and would like to say hi.

Join us for a board game night! [more inside]

We return crown'd with laurels

Well, I'm just in town for a couple weeks and recalled the last time I was in town for a couple weeks and had a lovely time at a meetup (many years ago). So we're meeting at the Alibi Room, at 6pm on Thursday. I'll be outside at 6 wearing a purple scarf and if you come a little later we'll try to be downstairs. I'll post an update if not.

Just a chance for some pre-festive Me-Fi cheer. [more inside]

So Second Saturday is upon us sooner than I realized. And we're still getting together and chatting about our activism plans again like we did last month. However, there's a slight change in plans... [more inside]

First, we meet at the Original Billy Goat Tavern. Then we decamp for shenanigans. You should join us because the world is a terrible place, but the Goat is familiar and the Chicago Metahounds are the best folks around. [more inside]

It doesn't look like one has ever been proposed, but would any me-fites be interested in a meetup somewhere in Honolulu? [more inside]

Como Dockside is running a Thursday night trivia-and-film series featuring the best movies of 1986-87. Someone must have misread that list or maybe lost a bet because next week's feature is Lucasfilm's crowning achievement, Howard the Duck. [more inside]

The Recurrent Seattle Tuesday Trivia Meetup

The idea has been floated before but never got beyond a few "we should do this" comments. Is there any interest in a Syracuse NY meetup to be held after the holidays? Any thoughts on where or when? [more inside]

Last week's Reuben thread gave me some ideas. [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "The Next Phase" featuring: transporter accidents, Romulans and the return of Ensign Ro! [more inside]
