In 1792, the underground Caf Sten Sture in Gamla Stan was a prison. According to its website, "It’s an amazing experience to sit in our caves from 1400 century. We have many cozy and exciting Caves." [more inside]

In honor of it being a Tuesday, and there being reasons both great and small for the consumption of pints and distraction of the mind... let's TRIVIA!

Well, all, we have not had a meetup in a while now, or even a couple of whiles. Patio season is behind us, but Storm Crow Manor is descending upon us. Seems like as good a rationale as any to assemble and have a free-ranging discussion of stuff. [more inside]

Is it time for a pre-holiday-season pub meetup? (Hint: It is!) [more inside]

Mr. brilliantine and tinybrill and I will be in Vermont to visit family from 10/28 through 10/31. We'll be based in Thetford but will probably do a fair amount of driving to sightsee and shop. Would anyone be interested in meeting up for a meal in that window? Confirmed for BBQ because it sounds delicious even if no one can make it :)

I have a story in An Outbreak Of Peace, a new anthology of stories about peace, released to coincide with the centenary of the end of the first World War, and the launch event takes place at Housmans Bookshop, King's Cross, on November 14th, at 7pm. [more inside]

Hi, Mefites! I'm visiting Tokyo soon and will be there Oct 29 to Nov 2. I'd love to meet up and grab some food basically anywhere in the city. My evenings are essentially free and apart from Wednesday when I've got the Ghibli museum I'm down to get lunch as well.

Fall is in the air and the Taters are in the pub for Geeks Who Drink trivia at Phoenix Landing.

Hey y'all - CONFIRMING that City Bakery is open (I spoke to a human and everything). I'm putting this up late, though - keeping it for our regular second Sunday of the month, but if everyone would rather I bump it to next week I'll do that.

I'm going to be in Austin for a work conference, but would love to escape the schmoozing and meet some locals. Anybody up for getting together the evening of October 16? [more inside]

I'm on a roundabout drive from NYC to Minneapolis and will be stopping in Toronto from Friday 12th October til Sunday the 14th. I've never been to Toronto and have never been to a MetaFi meetup, so this could be a big weekend for me. Any Torontonian Mefites free for dinner or drinks Saturday (and/or possibly Friday depending on what time I can get into town)? [more inside]

I'm hosting my first event for Democrats Abroad and could use any help and company. I'll be at Chapter One books from 6-8pm, helping people request ballots, register to vote and more. Let's turn the tide this November! [more inside]

I'm going to be in Cambridge, England for a little while later this month and one evening my wife is going to be otherwise occupied. Meetup? [more inside]

For our DC FOODIES July August September October meetup...okay, so it's been a while. We're going to try take 2 on Fava Pot, an exciting new-ish Egyptian place in Arlington, VA. Hope to see you all there! [more inside]

Tired of soloing in your living room? Want to shake the rehearsal space? Has the other half of your stoner polka duo migrated for work? Come to Band-Date Featuring Kiss My Face and Eva van Manen.

OH MY GOSH! FIRST WEDNESDAY IS THIS WEDNESDAY! ALARUM! ALARUM! As always, we'll be starting at the Billy Goat on/under Michigan Avenue for tiny beers and gigantic bathrooms. Afterward... we'll just have to see.

Sticky Carpet of NYC fame will be passing through, here is your chance to meet him in the flesh. [more inside]
