I'm going to be in the Bay Area for a few days next week, and as a huge Tiki fan, I'm very much looking forward to checking out the new, well pedigreed Tiki Bar, Longitude. I'm thinking 6-ish onward on Friday the 7th. Anyone interested?

Right? I'm reading this calendar correctly? First Wednesday in November is a week from today? Hopefully, cause I'll be Goat Frogging. You should join. [more inside]

They're closing off the street again, and there promises to be a metric ton of kids coming round in costumes. For our part, there's beer and a couple big stewpots of food. [more inside]

I've officially told my colleagues so I can now share it here. This is likely to be my last Pennsylvania meetup. After living here for over 25 years I've accepted a job from Ohio State and will be moving to Ohio in December. If you can, join me for my final PA get together. Let's meet at 6pm at Zenos.

Even though Halloween is not until Friday, I imagine plenty of holiday themed questions at Geeks Who Drink trivia this Wednesday at 7:30pm at Joe Sent Me.

Reposting from previous event! Chicainthecity most courteously reminded me that the event needed updating, and we discussed NOVEMBER 8th as the most likely afternoon. The consensus is now November 22nd: let us know in the thread! The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City is a place that engenders love and and serious confusion, perhaps in equal measures. It is a palace of many mythical wonders and it was proposed as one of the next meetup locations. It's open until 6:00 PM on Saturdays; the cafe offers complimentary tea and cookies until 5:00. (It is also close to the Center for Land Use Interpretation, which is equally a palace of wonders if you like scholastic text and resource allocation. They also have quite a cool map of points of interest in the area around their Culver City branch.) [more inside]

It’s time for my long-threatened shuffleboard meetup. [more inside]

Come and see some great short films from around the world. We're showing Luke Wilson's wonderful SATELLITE BEACH, which will appeal to NASA nerds. We're also showing STEWART, a Tasmanian short about a man who has a bromance with an abandoned shopping cart. Plus six more. Full lineup here. Tickets are $12 (cash) $13 (credit card) at the door. Sorry no debit!

I'll be playing a gig on Thursday 23rd October to mark my birthday, which is on Friday. What I didn't realise until recently was that it would engender a combination of performance anxiety, promoter anxiety and pre-party anxiety (what I referred to yesterday as the Neapolitan Ice Cream of anxiety), so now I'm using whatever means I can to spread the information. This may be an abuse of IRL, in which case, sorry. [more inside]

The Harvey Girls/Cherimoya/Kelli Frances Corrado at The Firkin in Portland, OR! [more inside]

Fellow Milwaukeeans, the time has come for us to follow up our fantastic meet-up in September with the much-anticipated sequel. I'm completely open to time, location and date. BE THERE OR BE FROM CHICAGO.

November 2nd is My Birthday, it happens to fall on a weekend. That's a pretty good excuse for a meetup yeah? [more inside]

If the event title appeals to you perhaps we can chat and get to know one another :) I am a Canadian woman in my early 30s with vacation time from January onwards, and no idea how to spend it. Rather than throw a dart at a map (while I chant unspeakable abominations) maybe this will help me refine my plan. I am just looking to make friends who share my interests. More inside...

It's been a while. My fiancee and I will be in New York City the evenings of Wednesday, 29 October through Saturday, 1 November. We would love to see the awesome New York MeFites! I'm thinking Revival would be a good place to meet on 8 p.m. on Saturday, 1 November.
