OK, I've done this half-hearted self-promotion on Metafilter before, and people encouraged me to post if I was doing another gig (and it's taken this long to get one) - I'll be playing a thirty-five minute set, probably at about 9:15 at The Stage Door in Waterloo (behind the Old Vic, nearest tube Waterloo). Free entrance. [more inside]

Help wrap gifts from the Holiday Gift Drive! [more inside]

Hey all, so I'm relatively new to the Phoenix area and would love to chill with the local mefites. How about a mid-week happy hour? ok. How's everyone with next Thursday, 12/6, at Angel's Trumpet at 6pm?

apparently I'm incapable of filling out a form like a normal person, so here's a second swing at a Vancouver meetup. [more inside]

Remember when we went to Federal Donuts and it was miserably hot out but we had adventures all over the city and it turned out to be a pretty great day in spite of the weather? Let's do it again in the bitter cold! [more inside]

As God is my witness, you'll enjoy Geeks Who Drink trivia, Monday night at Tommy Doyle's. The other teams will hit the ground like sacks of wet cement. Oh, the humanity!

*EDIT* I changed the meetup time to 2:30 since that's when we'll be meeting, but you should still buy tickets for 3:00! The Space Shuttle Endeavor has just come to LA, and I'd love to get acquainted with it along with some fellow MeFites. There's a $2 ticket fee, you should buy your tickets for the 3:00 show here http://www.californiasciencecenter.org/ (we're meeting at 2:30 to organize ourselves before going in)

The Holiday Ale Festival is being held Nov. 28th - Dec. 2nd, 2012 in Pioneer Square. We missed last year's and nearly missed this one! You can buy advance tickets on the website (wristband, required tasting mug, and 12 tickets, $30 + $3.40 processing fee) or at the door ($30, wristband/mug/10 tickets). Who's with me? EDIT: Date/time changed to avoid conflict with Game Day. It's open Wed/Thu/Fri eves until 10pm, or we could do Sunday afternoon to avoid the evening crush.

Shakespeherian has lost his crown. I'll be bringing it back on the east coast picking it up. Come celebrate in our favorite underground grease joint. [more inside]

How about a trivia night sometime in December or January? [more inside]

Let's get in one more board game meetup before the holidays! [more inside]

Remember nostalgia? Remember authenticity? Remember feelings? Remember indie rock? Relive your glory days with Live Band Indie Rock Karaoke: Sign up early or at the door to belt out your favorite songs by-- Guided By Voices, Pavement, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Moldy Peaches, Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Arcade Fire, New Pornographers, Pavement, Pavement, and many more! Or just hang out and watch the emotional detachment pop like fireworks... All free. All real. All for you. Come out won't you? (but come early, the show will only be from 7-9, then Spike Hill kicks us all out) [more inside]

On Tuesday, November 27th [more inside]

Hi all Roma MeFites, Looks like we've settled on Eataly. Still slightly up in the air as to whether it's Monday or Tuesday but for now, we'll meet at the Eataly front entrance at 12:00 PM, Tuesday, 4 December.

As I feel eideteker has a number of points concerning the December 9th Meetup, and it's not often that folks from out of town get to see other members of the community, I propose a counter-shindig the same hour and day over at Becco, which is 2 blocks away in Time Square. Thus, in the spirit of civility and diplomacy, the two groups can converge afterward and shake hands. Who's with me, comrades?

Thanksgiving! A! Pageant! is a pageant (about Thanksgiving). Join such luminaries as Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Jesus the Christ as they tell the story of the first meeting between the godly Pilgrims and those wacky Natives (who didn't even speak English!). Featuring songs, Squanto, Dutch punk teenagers, King James I of England, a dream ballet, and more, this is the real story of how America became... America. But you know like AMERICA. One night only, Thursday, November 29th, 8pm at Ars Nova. Here is a thing to click to get tickets, which are $12, and which are totally worth it, I swear. [more inside]

It has been suggested that the NYC MeFites take a trip to Guy Fieri's American Kitchen & Bar. It is in Times Square, the food is bad, and the prices are outrageous. Who's in?

Any MeFites at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Atlanta this year? It's coming to an end, but there might be time to grab a drink and meet your fellow parasitology/ epidemiology/ microbiology/ health policy wonks. Tonight is the last evening, but it's possible to have a post-meeting lunch tomorrow afternoon. Meet at the Marquis Marriott, then select a second location for drinks and/or lunch?

Scenes from four operas by LA composers, with subjects ranging from Greek mythology to Shakespearean tragedy to Creole legend to American scientific history. [more inside]

I've got to call a meet up before a life event: I'm moving to Belleville for a photojournalism program at the beginning of January, and would like to see all of you one last time before I go. [more inside]

Previously in trivia: Can it have been a month since Benevolent Dick-Taters and Occupy Sesame Street! graced the doorway of the Maple Leaf Pub? Yes, we had enough players to make two teams! Come help us grab the best seat! Steak and potatoes are served at 7, and trivia is served at 8.

Trying a meetup at an earlier time to accommodate more people: so I'm calling this one for Sunday, November 25, at 5:30 PM until... whenever! I've decided on the Huether in uptown Waterloo: it's right on King St. so it's easy to get to, they're open late, they have plenty of room for a group, and they have a wide variety of food and drink options. [more inside]

Vegetarian Dim Sum, Sunday, Nov. 18, Light at 2pm. [more inside]

The Ivy Style Exhibition at the Museum At FIT is a wonderful collection of WASP-y, prep looks and oddities throughout the decades. Friday at 6pm. Refreshments to follow. [more inside]

Who wants to get together in Our Fair City? [more inside]

Hey Baltimore mefites! I'm here for a short time (til about right before Thanksgiving) for work and wanted to see if anybody wanted to meet up, get a drink, whatever. I have no car, a weird schedule, and am kinda/sorta near Lexington Market.

Hi, I'll be in London near Lincoln's Inn Fields next week, from Sunday to noon Thursday. Any London mefites want to meet a mefite from the U.S.? I have no car but a sense of adventure. I'll buy you a pint, of whatever.

Remember that time we went out for karaoke? Man, it feels like it was yesterday. [more inside]

Lunch with mefites on Wednesday, November 14th. [more inside]

Prompted by this question on ask.metafilter, let's meet at Bobby G's on University watch the elections! [more inside]

Confirmed: Wednesday, November 14th, 6ish Hey Main Line (and interested parties in Philly/other suburbs!) Tired Hands Brewing in Ardmore worked out really well last time-- good beers, in pours of 4 ounces - Growler, homemade bread and butter, and good company. We survived the hurricane, so perhaps a pre-Thanksgiving Meetup is in order? Let me know dates/times that work best, and see you soon! [more inside]

Let's try again, shall we? We have Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, and Risk, and I will probably buy Small World or Dominion before this comes around. We have three tables for playing games, and will provide a small amount of snacks. Bring snacks and drinks that you'd like to have. I propose that we do this on either Saturday, Dec. 1, or Sunday, Dec. 2. Once again, we'll start at 2pm. [more inside]

Drop by to watch the US election in Ireland, in the company of ex-pats and stats nerds! [more inside]

Sorry about the short notice! Some mefites from the Bay Area are heading south to Los Angeles to see The Thrilling Adventure Hour. We'd love to see other mefites while we're down there! We'll be down there Friday through Sunday, but we're booked Saturday night.
