MeFi IRL

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. Please join us for drinks and conversation at the next Salon in Brooklyn, on October 27, 2016 at 7:30 PM. (Note new date) [more inside]

For her tenth birthday, my oldest daughter asked for a trip to New York City (we're from Louisiana.) No trip would be complete without a MetaFilter meetup. We're CONFIRMED! [more inside]
