After our successful wintertime meetup at Iron Hill in Newark I thought we could use a springtime edition.

I know several of us grow vegetable gardens. Is there any interest in an autumnal harvest-themed food meetup? Not sure what the best month would be; wouldn't necessarily have to be at the very end of autumn. Take some foodstuffs you've grown and either bring it raw or as (part of) a dish of some kind.

Our second meetup! (First meetup was
here.) Westmoreland Park, 11:30am, Picnic Site B, which is the picnic site closer to the playground according to the parks & rec guy.
Since this goes through the lunch hour let's make it a potluck!

I have spent the evenings of Christmas Day, New Year's Day and a number of Sundays since bowling with a friend at
Imperial Lanes in Rainier Valley. We have had a wonderful time every time. Experience strongly suggests a meetup there on another Sunday evening would work out fine. Especially since this time it seems fairly likely that it will not be snowing.
So, I thought I would submit the place --
again -- for a bowling meetup on April 15th.

Welcome to
ReBar! As requested, a place in DUMBO with excellent food. I'm starting this one a little earlier than usual, but feel free to come when you can! I'll get us a table.

Greg_Ace's place is the.. the place! Saturday April 7, start showing up around 4PM or so. Bring some potluck-y foods (Greg will probably smoke some meats for us) and/or beverages (fermented or non). Gaming is going to be a mix of One Thousand Blank White Cards and Cards Against Humanity, and maybe even some regular cards.
And who knows what else?!

Hola LA MeFi,
We're meeting up
Bigfoot West on Thursday, April 5th. They have a happy hour between 7 and 9, so we're gonna start the meet somewhere in there and keep going if we prove to be interesting enough company. I'll probably pop in around 8/8:30 and I have this bright pink sweatshirt that has inadvertently become my trademark and you can find me that way.
There's a kind of corner booth in the back right that tends to empty-ish even when busy, so it might make sense to try and say Hi there.
Any Q's, just send me a MeMail!

I suggested a Knoxville meetup last year but it fizzled. Never one to learn from my mistakes, I'm trying again! Can we scrounge up enough East Tennesseans for a meetup?

Last time we (Davy Jones' Locker) wound up in solo possession of second place, netting us a $15 bar tab for this week. The previous excursion we (In the Vault, Bob) wound up winning second in a tiebreak. Can we make it a third straight trip to medal territory? Join us at the Kelvin Arms and see! (MexicanYenta's suggested team name: Grand Forks Olive Garden.) Meet at 7:30, trivia at 8.
Edit: Postponed for a week due to Real Life.

Last year's First Ever Seoul Metafilter Meetup was fun. There were three of us, and each of us drank for four, so it was crowded.
Anyone up for doing it again? I'll buy at least a couple rounds...
(and dare I imagine a Wonderchicken sighting?)

Previously: Last time, we won the second-place tiebreaker in sudden death. And quizmaster Scott is buying us a round this time for the win for best team name.
And so Dr. Metafilter finds himself leaping from trivia night to trivia night, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
..Oh, wait,
what? It's just Leap Day, not Quantum Leap Day? Guess we'll have to put the DVDs down and go out for trivia at the Kelvin Arms.

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]

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.
