MeFi IRL

The seasonal dark dreariness has been getting to me this year. We need a beverage, some pub food, and good conversation to cheer us up! [more inside]

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.

This Salon ... we're gonna go there ... and talk about political correctness. Come one, come all to freely and gently explore the pros and cons of modern PC. Our next meeting is Friday, July 22, 2016 at 7:30 PM in Brooklyn. [more inside]

I promised hapax_legomenon and rtha I'd post another French meetup... How does Tuesday the 30th work? Thoughts on venue? (Ideally BART-accessible, French theme not required. Actually, it occurs to me that les Belges parlent franais aussi...)

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?
