Meetup: The end of an era: Gapers Block at the Bong
Metafilter's own me3dia had already planned a Gapers Block shindig at the Bong for Friday night, but now it'll be tinged with sadness: Cafe Bong is officially closing in two weeks. Come on out and say goodbye with a shot and a song before a Chicago institution shuts its doors.

Proposed: Let's walk Broadway again

Meetup: PAX East MeFight Club redux
I think we all had a great time gaming and such last year -- let's do it again! The full show map hasn't been released yet, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a handheld lounge with beanbag chairs setup approximately where it was last year. (I'll post a comment with further details and a link to the map once it's available.) Let's plan to meet there on Saturday morning. We'll play it by ear afterwards -- maybe board games, maybe PC or console freeplay -- maybe both if we have more people than last year. [more inside]

Meetup: Los Angeles MeFi: Assemble!
Hola LA MeFi,
We're meeting up Bigfoot West on Thursday, April 5th. They have a happy hour between 7 and 9, so we're gonna start the meet somewhere in there and keep going if we prove to be interesting enough company. I'll probably pop in around 8/8:30 and I have this bright pink sweatshirt that has inadvertently become my trademark and you can find me that way.
There's a kind of corner booth in the back right that tends to empty-ish even when busy, so it might make sense to try and say Hi there.
Any Q's, just send me a MeMail!

Meetup: Ikea Support Group
You need something from Ikea, but you're dreading the insane crowds and feeling pinned in the Ikea preset track. So why not make your list and join a bunch of Mefites for a cheap Swedish lunch. We can deal with our social anxiety with a group of social anxiety experts, and get our pre-fab fix together. [more inside]

Last year's First Ever Seoul Metafilter Meetup was fun. There were three of us, and each of us drank for four, so it was crowded.

Presentation: TEDxConcordiaUPortland Theme: Becoming Extraordinary
Hi Portland! You are hosting a TEDx conference at the end of the month. I'll be there, and I'm wondering if anyone else would be and would like to meetup during the day. There's still tickets, so if you haven't heard of or thought of this yet, you might be interested. I'm going because the Communicatrix is talking, and then I found out Sugar from the Rumpus would be another speaker, so I'm both thrilled and expecting to cry in public.
