MeFi IRL

Hello Mefites! Have you been itching to dance the night away? the Middle East downstairs hosts a goth dance night every first Friday and I would be happy to have lords/ladies/gender-nonspecific-royalty of darkness join me on May 11th. Meetup beforehand at the bar upstairs. Link here with complete details. [more inside]

Labor Day weekend is almost upon us again, and that means DragonCon in Atlanta. (Please don't call it Dragon*Con, they had their *-hole removed two years ago at no small expense.) Even though an actual organized MeFi meetup is not likely to survive everyone's various convention plans, we can at least use this thread to talk about those plans. NOTE: like last year, the time and place listed are for the registration line, the event itself lasts Thursday-Monday, and is spread across 5 high-rise hotels and a nearby convention center.
