Hey, I'll be in Guatemala from the second week of July through the second week of August. Will any other mefites be in the country? I'll be in Antigua, but will have a good deal of flexibility & could possibly travel within the country.

It's high time we had another Western Massachusetts meetup and I'm proposing one as promised to take place July 27 or 28 in or near the Pioneer Valley towns of Northampton or Amherst, Massachusetts. It's been five years since the last Western Massachusetts meetup, at which awesome people attended and great times were had, and I hope a lot of you can make it! [more inside]

In light of our newest title and because it has been FAR TOO LONG, I propose we take a break from our usual debauchery and have a meetup!

Hey, 7segment and I are headed to Houston to see the Houston Dynamo/Stoke City game on the 24th of July. We'd like to see if we can schedule a meet up at a bar on the 23rd in order to meet some Houston mefites. I know zero about Houston. I'll be staying near the Dynamo stadium so somewhere near there would be awesome and around the 7pm-8pm hour works best. Suggestions?

From the post on Gil Garduño NM Gastronome blog, there was a discussion of a series of meetups to eat delicious food. To this I say YES! Torinos' @ Home was suggested as the first place to go, so let's do it! The question is: when? [more inside]

Hi all - the American Library Association conference is happening here in Chicago June 27-July 2. IANYL - hell, IANEven*A*L - but it sounds like the type of thing where significant MeFite repping is possible. Should we try for a meetup during the conference?

Beach! Bonfire! Mefites! This seems like it might not be a terrible idea! My thought is somewhere central or north coast, so's an easy drive from Portland. Maybe a large-ish beach house could be group-rented for a night for those who wanted to stay over. Proposed time: July or August. (random city chosen to placate the IRL daemons)

My dog would benefit from being in the company of other dogs, and I would benefit from being in the company of metafilter people who have dogs. Let's do a dog-up. [more inside]

I'm going to be in Boston for a conference and I'm free on the night of June 19th. Any Boston area Mefites want to join me for a beer or whatnot?

The University of Chicago's annual scavenger hunt - alternately known as Scav - is an exciting festival of high-weirdness. I really enjoyed this year's incarnation, and would like to field a MeFi team for next year's if that's feasible. [more inside]

I'm back home in Ireland for 2 months this summer (June 15-August 15) and was wondering if there was interest in having a mefite meet up in Dublin at some point during those dates? We can drink to drown out the inevitable downpour outside... EDITED: how about July 20th? No idea where people would lime to meet, but somewhere Dublin centerish that's not Temple Bar would be ideal for me. Though I am partial to the Hole in the Wall out on the edges of Phoenix Park...

Surely there are more than a few board gaming, card dealing, and role playing MeFites out there. Let's organize a meetup for mid-May. The afternoon of Sunday May 19th. The location is set to Mountain View but we can change that easily. If you are interested hop in the thread. If you don't like the date/time give suggestions for alternatives. Location will vary depending on the number of people. For groups < 12 I can host at my house in South Bay. If we grow larger we'll find a venue. I have access to some largish areas for up to 30 players. Games to play can be sorted out later.

I had so much fun meeting you all last time I was in the Bay Area, I want to do it again! I'll be back in your neck of the woods the week of May 6. But possibly only available weekdays. SF, Sacramento, or Davis weeknight meetup, with food and/or beverages?

Last year we walked the length of Broadway in Manhattan. Let's do it again, this time slightly more slowly and possibly with a picnic in Central Park. We will meet on the northeast side of the Broadway Bridge at 225th St at 9am on stop for a picnic lunch in Central Park (location to be determined), and finish at The Battery. [more inside]
