So SE Michigan mefites - let's get together! I'm suggesting a late Sunday afternoon - either 3/4 or 3/11 - please weigh in with your preference. 4pm? Could meet at Conor O'Neil's or ABC - or someplace else for that matter. Our last meet-up was with graced with Jessamyn's presence and as far as I know she's not heading this way anytime soon but let's not wait for her return to get together.

I will be in Montreal in a couple of weeks... does Saturday March 3 sound like a decent evening to assemble some mefites for an evening of trying to figure out how those people got those cats lodged in their scanners? [more inside]

I'm in London the first weekend of March. Presumably many of you are in London then too (or always are). Let's meet up! [more inside]

Are any other Mefites planning on being at the Flurry Festival this weekend? Any interest in a meetup?

I'll be on my own in Istanbul from Feb 23-Mar 1. There are some quintessential experiences that seem better enjoyed with other people. Anyone up for meze and rakı? Catching some local music? Checking out art galleries in Beyoğlu? Doing something else you think an American visiting Turkey simply can't miss?

Hi! Would love to have a meetup of Northern NY/Ontario mefites in Ottawa. Anyone else interested?

A bunch of pals and I are going to Pycon this March in Santa Clara. Are you? Do you want to have a mefi bof? I'll probably be around starting 3/3 or 3/4.

I'm going to 360 MacDev in Denver. So, I've got Thursday and Saturday (Feb. 2 and 4) evenings to kill. I'd love to kill one of them with some MeFites! Is anyone up for hanging out somewhere in downtown Denver any of those nights?

This is the longest of the long shots, but ... any other MeFites going to the Festival au Desert outside of Timbuktu, January 12-14? This will be my first one, and it'd be amazing to find another MeFite or two there to enjoy the Sahara and all that incredible music!

I realize this is rather last-minute, but I'd love a meetup that involves a pub, various local alcohols and the inevitable good-hearted mocking of each other's accents. Open to suggestions where to go, it'll be my first time in Scotland.

This thread got me thinking about how much fun the last tasting was and now I'm thirsty for another one. I'm willing to host unless someone else wants to. Any interest? Sometime in December, maybe? To give the holidays a rosy happy glow?
UPDATE: Combined with MeFi Game Day #9 (Game Day 9: The Deckening)

Occupy Toronto is marching from St. James Park next Saturday (Nov. 12th) at 2 PM. I am thinking of going, and bringing the family with me. Would any local-ish MeFites want to meet up and march, and grab something to eat afterwards?

Proposed: a night that's kind of like an art "potluck." Bring your arty or crafty project and materials. Prepared to share. Once gathered, we engage in an excellent form of parallel play. Conversation ensues. Called "Bad Art Night" to 1) take the pressure off of trying to be "productive." 2) create permission to try new things and just play around and finally 3) lower the bar for entry -- no artistic talent required.

I'll be leaving dear old Blighty and heading over the pond to New York from the 10th - 16th November, in advance of going to a friend's wedding the weekend after. I decided to head out a week early in order to catch up with some old friends and spend some time wandering around the city again (I lived there for a while a few years back). It occurs though, that this presents an opportunity to maybe make some new friends as well. So what about it New York MeFites - fancy meeting up for a few drinks one night?

I am over there from 23.10 - 6.11.
