So SE Michigan mefites - let's get together! I'm suggesting a late Sunday afternoon - either 3/4 or 3/11 - please weigh in with your preference. 4pm? Could meet at Conor O'Neil's or ABC - or someplace else for that matter. Our last meet-up was with graced with Jessamyn's presence and as far as I know she's not heading this way anytime soon but let's not wait for her return to get together.

A whopping eight months after setting foot in Toronto to examine people's financial statements and tell them how they're doin' it wrong, I went and landed myself a job in the US doing stuff that's much more up my alley. Pending approval by our friendly neighbourhood border service agents, I will be leaving Toronto for the brighter pastures of North Carolina in about eight weeks. I'd like to see my favourite Toronto-KWC-Buffalo-ans sometime before I leave.
March 31st, 8 PM, Local 4. Be there. [more inside]

I will be in Montreal in a couple of weeks... does Saturday March 3 sound like a decent evening to assemble some mefites for an evening of trying to figure out how those people got those cats lodged in their scanners?

Are any other Mefites planning on being at the

We were thisclose to a second-place finish
last time we met for Geeks who Drink trivia at the
Kelvin Arms. The Best Team Name theme will be that old Dating Game staple: Where is the strangest/best/worst place to “make whoopee?” We'll be in the vault at 7:30 for trivia at 8.

I'm going to
360 MacDev in Denver. So, I've got Thursday and Saturday (Feb. 2 and 4) evenings to kill. I'd love to kill one of them with some MeFites!
Is anyone up for hanging out somewhere in downtown Denver any of those nights?

Because I am lazy, here is the
description from the Cal Academy: What fun are bourbon and whiskey tastings without a mechanical bull and some honky tonk? That's right: this week, sample the wares of Bulleit Bourbon and George Dickel Whisky, and learn what each purveyor does to craft their unique spirits, then take a spin on a mechanical bull in the piazza. Plus, enjoy the acoustic stylings of Jeanie and Chuck's Country Roundup, and learn about the science of distilling from Nancy Fraley, Director of Research at the American Distilling Institute. Additional music by Miles the DJ.

It seems like time for another Denver meetup, now that winter (or "winter," this year) has really started to lose its charm.

I'm coming to Somerville for a baby shower next month, and would love to have lunch with local mefites on Monday, February 20. I'd love to go to Cambridge Common (I miss it), unless folks have reservations about it for a meetup for some reason.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

Of shoes--and ships--and Polish Oompa cover bands--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And Gordon Ramsay's Sex Dwarves--
And whether pigs have wings."

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not interested in Scotch, really just consider this a regular MeFi pub meetup... because it pretty much is! No obligation to drink any Scotch at all. More like... bonus whisky for those into that sort of thing.

I see the word "Guelph" pop-up here every once and awhile, so assume there are other mefites living here. If true, are any of you up for a pub night? How about Sunday, January 29 at the
Woolwich Arrow ?

I spent the evenings of both Christmas Day and New Year's Day bowling with a friend at
Imperial Lanes down in Rainier Valley. We had a wonderful time. I can't say what it would be like on a regular night, but there were plenty of lanes open both times we went. I can't speak for what it would be like on a weeknight but I suspect another Sunday evening would work out fine.
So, I thought I would submit the place as a bowling meetup venue.

It is 2012! It is January! There should be a thing.
The (first decided upon, but we could decide on others, or YOU could, you could just put it out there and see if it'll happen) thing is:
OMSI After Dark, January 25, 6-10 PM.

Today's NJ post reminded me that it has been
nearly a year since the last JC meetup. Any MeFites interested in hitting the Rasoi on either January 14th or 15th? NYC folks who want to take a short PATH ride welcome!

We're overdue for a meetup and I was thinking the
GardenFest of Lights at Lewis Ginter would be interesting. It's only $11 dollars and maybe we could grab dinner beforehand? As a Richmond native, I'm sad to say that I've never been to Lewis Ginter (sad I know). What does everyone think?

I'm coming into town for two weeks JUST after the big planned meetup, but I hear that this is the first meetup you guys have had in a while and might be amenable to having another. It will no longer be at Nellie's as we expect it to not have trivia and be crowded anyhow. It will now be at
the Argonaut on the H street corridor at the same time.

This is perhaps optimistic in the face of the onrushing holidays, but is there interest in a meetup on December 9th or 10th?
Update: The meetup will be on December 9th, 7:15 at The Getaway.

I'm relatively new to Edmonton (been here 1.5 years) and it occurred to me I've yet to see a meetup proposed for our fair city. A quick search on MetaTalk suggests that there has
never been a MeFi meetup in Edmonton. How can this be?! Let's change that...

I realize this is rather last-minute, but I'd love a meetup that involves a pub, various local alcohols and the inevitable good-hearted mocking of each other's accents. Open to suggestions where to go, it'll be my first time in Scotland.

Proposed: a night that's kind of like an art "potluck." Bring your arty or crafty project and materials. Prepared to share. Once gathered, we engage in an excellent form of parallel play. Conversation ensues. Called "Bad Art Night" to 1) take the pressure off of trying to be "productive." 2) create permission to try new things and just play around and finally 3) lower the bar for entry -- no artistic talent required.

It's trivia night at the Maple Leaf; it's also a heavy hockey night with 10 games scheduled. Our schedules dictate that Thursday is going to be our night for trivia (at least this week; we can discuss other options). Come join us and help us outnumber the hockey heads!

I'm going to be blarging up New York from the 4th to the 6th of November, and I was wondering if any mefites would want to meet up? It's been a while since I lived in the city, so any suggestions for a venue would be awesome.
(I tend to go by the name blarg on #bunnies. I should probably go by that name on metafilter, too!)
