MeFi IRL

I went to one meetup in Chapel Hill like 10 years ago and it was great. I'm an introvert but would love to get together with other folks in my area. I'm in Cary. So far people have suggested Sarah's Empanadas or a member's house. If you are better at organizing than me, I'm happy to have help!

It has been almost 20 years since the first post on MeFi, so what an opportune time to get together here in the Triangle of North Carolina! Maybe we can even make this a regional thing and lure some MeFites down from the mountains, off the Outer Banks, and "y'all too, Fort Bragg!" Let's start a discussion in this thread about where, when, and what we want to do in general terms before we nail down the details. [more inside]

Anyone else excited to see Kedi, the new documentary about street cats in Istanbul, (currently at 100/85 on RT)? It starts at the Rialto in Raleigh on March 10 and seems perfect for a meetup. Durham or Chapel Hill theaters showing it could work if that's better for folks. Maybe include a stop for appetizers before or drinks after? It's all questions at this point, except for the kitties, which are solid.

**Please note the date change! Sorry for any confusion!**

It's been too long since the Triangle Contingent got ourselves together, so let's meet up to eat some good food, drink some tasty beverages, and/or bitch about HB2. We've decided on a picnic with board games at Weaver Street Market on Sunday, May 29th at 4 pm! [more inside]

The recent weather here in the Triangle has me wanting to get out of the house more and get to know some of my fellow local MeFites better. Would people be interested in going to a trivia night somewhere? I hear the Wednesday night Bull McCabes trivia is good, though I haven't been before. [more inside]

Hey, it's been too long, and we should celebrate the big 1-5 in style. I'm thinking dinner somewhere and then casual drinks nearby for people who want to join up after dinner. I'm suggesting Raleigh because that's closest to me, but we could certainly do it elsewhere in the Triangle if that works better for people. [more inside]
