MeFi IRL

Our first two installments of Geeks Who Drink trivia at The Rising have been such a success, we're going back for a third go around. Join us, a trivia host who can mostly pronounce all the questions, and perhaps an enthusiastic liquor company representative at 7:30 this Thursday in Inman Square.

Let's show 'em there's things to do in Wilmington! (Thereby disproving my high school theory that Delaware is just an excuse to have a round 50 states.) [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "The First Duty", featuring cadet drama at Starfleet Academy--now with more Wesley Crusher! [more inside]

Hey Toronto MeFites, it's been a while. What say you to a November 19 (Saturday) meetup, say around 3:00 in the afternoon? [more inside]

Unlike Cannes, all are welcome, even if you don't come in heels.

There's a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new hotel at 11:00 AM. I'm not sure when protests will start but I will be by there around 9 AM on my way to work. [more inside]

I'm coming to Tokyo and would love to meet other MeFites. [more inside]

Looks like there hasn't been a Denver meetup in a while, and I'm new in town... so let's do this thing! How about we grab a beer? Suggestions welcome. [more inside]

Cincinnati-area election night watch party at the Northside Tavern! [more inside]

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there. [more inside]

Taylor Mac's muscular, provocative play on family dysfunction, gender and trans issues in having a run at Portland's excellent and edgy Defunkt Theater. Last year's New York production was listed as a 10 best play by the NYT, New York Magazine and Time Out NY. There are shows every Thursday to Sunday at 7:30pm through Nov. 12. [more inside]

After our successful first-ever Brighton meetup, it would be great to have another one and hopefully get a few more folk along too. I thought it would be fun to spend an evening at Alcampo's Lounge (or somewhere equally amenable to games) and play a few lightweight boardgames (I have a few easy-to-learn ones and others are welcome to bring more along). [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "Cause and Effect"-- let's do a tiime loooop agaaaain. [more inside]

Relaxed, end-of-week-meetup where west coast Mefite meets east coast Mefites. [more inside]

Jordan Ellenberg (MetaFilter's escabeche) will be at the Santa Fe Institute giving a talk on The Unlikely Power of Uncertainty and Contradiction tomorrow night, Oct. 18, starting at 7:30 PM.

Hey, let's get together and binge-watch all four Christopher Reeve Superman movies! Brunch! Cocktails! Crockpot dinner! Lots of Gene Hackman! [more inside]

Despite being stuck in the corner room at tiny tables, Taters sailed to victory last time at The Rising and we have two gift certificates to spend. Assuming the world doesn't end as a result of the 3rd debate, we'll get our Geeks Who Drink trivia on once again on Thursday at 7:30pm. [more inside]

I has been in the Edinburgh for nearly a year, and I would much like to meet muh fellow Mefites. There is much to discuss about the joys and travails of life in North Britain, yet nothing that wouldn't be improved by beer and bonhomie. Here's the plan. [more inside]

After last week's humiliating defeat (and talking ourselves out of answers), we return.

Hey, let's meet and swap stories about life in general and surviving hurricane Matthew in general! [more inside]

we just really love ice cream. [more inside]

Last chance, the third and final presidential debate in Hecklevision, with 9 of Portland's best standup comedians scrolling tweet-heckles up the bottom third of the screen. Nariko Ott, Alex Falcone, JoAnn Schinderle, Laci Day, Katie Nguyen, Riley Fox, Coor Cohen and MeFi's own Mark Saltveit. The first two have sold out and been super fun. $6 in advance, likely sold out on same day but $8 if not. http://www.secretsociety.net/event/1338033-hollywood-theatre-pbr-portland/

Hello FOODIES! I think it's safe to say our regular meetups will resume next month, but my October got a little busy. So this time around, I'm just going to call it for a Sunday lunch on the 23rd and an easy-to-reach location--one that comes recommended by several MeFites. Hope you can join me for delicious fried chicken and other Korean goodies at Bonchon!

Some crumpets and pimms in the park! [more inside]

So, yeah, the other day I kind of suggested that I might be up for doing this. Anyone else want to come along? [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "Ethics", features Worf woobiness, Alexander, and dubious medical ethics. [more inside]

Has anyone ever proposed a meet up and then not shown up? I'd love to grab dinner and beer with some Boston MeFites while I'm in town working but I may have to be a jerk and cancel at the last minute. [more inside]

Trivia night at the George and Dragon. [more inside]

It's been a while since our last local beer & conversation meetup, and I found myself thinking it's about time for another one. [more inside]

It's been a while since we had a board game meetup in this area, so let's see whether there's interest in a new one. One of us could host it, or we could meet at a restaurant such as the Blue Shirt Cafe on Davis Square or a conveniently large Panera Bread like the one near Fenway Park. Based on past meetups, Knight Moves seems to have been a bust. A weekend, which would allow for the most play time, would probably be best. When and where sounds best to you all? EDIT:Let's meet at the Blue Shirt Cafe on Davis Square at 2:00 on Sunday, October 30th! Feel free to bring any game or games you'd like to play.

You'll watch and hear the debate on a large screen TV, while 8 of Portland's funniest comedians send tweet-heckles that scroll up the bottom of the screen. Featuring Nariko Ott, JoAnn Schinderle, Alex Falcone, Katie Nguyen and Metafilter's own msalt. [more inside]

Who's up for an evening of live storytelling? Heads up: you'll probably need to decide by Oct. 19th. [more inside]

It seems that since calendars are hard, we have not put up an event for our monthly meetup at the Billy Goat... [more inside]

We'll meet at Ebb and Flow at 6pm Friday October 14. Previously: As mentioned in the Brighton meetup thread, I will be in Southampton for work from Oct 13-15. It seemed there were a few other folk who will miss the Brighton but might make a Southampton. [more inside]
