Inspired by this on the Blue, let’s have a 11' 8" Bridge Memorial Meetup at Sam’s Bottle Shop.

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]

I’m driving my daughter to a concert at Motorco at 8:30 on Saturday, and it just occurred that some of you Durmites might want to join me for a late dinner somewhere in the area. [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]

Hey, never been to one of these before, but I'm in Asheville, North Carolina and just wondering if there's any other nearby mefites who might want to grab a beer at an indeterminate future date

I'll be passing through Asheville on the evening of Sat, May 7th on my way to visit my brother in Ohio, and hiking in the area with a pal on Sunday May 8th. She wants to go someplace a bit out of the ordinary, if possible, and I'd like to see spring wildflowers and/or waterfalls, if possible. We'd almost certainly be up for drinks and food on Saturday or Sunday night as well - i.e., we'll be out and about and would totally love to have MeFite company. Anyone interested in a day hike and/or dinner? Queer bar recommendations welcome, too.

Calling RTP MeFites! I'm passing through Raleigh in the first week of September and I'm free during the day on September 4th. Is anyone interested in meeting up for lunch/coffee/cake?
