You are invited to an Online Salon!
We will be holding an online conversational salon on Monday, May 18, 2020 at 7PM. If you've never been to a salon before, it will be similar to this.
If you have been to a salon before — or if you used to attend mine —and would like to join us, welcome!
We will be talking about solitude and leadership, using this essay as a starting point. For more information and meeting particulars, email me at newsalonnyc@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Beer! Conversation! ...Beer!
Because (a) we haven't had a pub meetup in a while, along with (b) my own rather sequestered circumstances and (c) general consternation over the state of the nation, I could really use a restorative or three and some amiable palaver.
Local pub meetup
It's been a while since our last local beer & conversation meetup, and I found myself thinking it's about time for another one. [more inside]
New Salon NYC - Meeting #10
This time out, we'll be chatting about the challenges inherent in "the unalienable right to pursue happiness," whether unhappiness is mostly caused by the gap between who we are and who we want to be, and whether it's really happiness we lack when we feel unhappy.

Slow Art Day in Salem, MA
International Slow Art Day is coming up on April 27th. It's a worldwide effort to have a different kind of art experience. The idea is to spend a couple of hours immersing yourself in just 5-10 works of art, and then meet up with individuals who have just done the same to talk about the experience.
We're hosting Slow Art Day where I work, and Metafilter's own Lipstick Thespian is host. We thought it would be fun to invite MeFites to take part, and when it's all over, we can go out for a just-MeFite gathering over pints or such. [more inside]
Wikileaks discussion
Hey Philadelphia mefites, I'm very interested in the ongoing wikileaks drama, and wanted to talk about it in person with other smart, thoughtful people. And metafilter has proven itself in this thread and others as full of such people. Is anyone interested in meeting up at a bar tonight and sharing thoughts and conversation about this topic? I know it's short notice, but I hope some of you can make it! [more inside]

San Francisco French Convo Meetup
Bonjour! Time for our third meetup. I'll propose next Tuesday, 10/12 6:30ish but we need a venue. I think we decided last time that conversing within a French ambiance is not mandatory, although a much cheaper food/drink option is. People, throw out your suggestions. [more inside]
San Francisco French Convo Meetup
Our inaugural rendezvous this past Monday night was un grande succ0232;s so we've decided to continue on a bi-weekly basis. Monday and Tuesday nights seem to be best (for now). We need a better venue than Caf0233; de la Presse so please suggest some better and BART-friendly alternatives!
I propose Monday 9/27 as our next date. Thoughts?
