MeFi IRL

I'm planning to go to the Urban Craft Rising to gather signatures for I-940 (to lessen police brutality). There will be people from De-Escalate Washington to give guidance/do training as needed. Would anyone like to join me? [more inside]

First Wednesday is next week! Apparently the Goat has changed how it does beer! But we have not changed how we do fun--it's still good and you should join us! [more inside]

Let's all work off our various holiday meals with onion rings and a sense of intellectual achievement.

It's the triv, triviest season of all. With Geeks Who are Drinking we'll meet at Phoenix Landing and be of good cheer!

The night of Saturday 10 February. I'd love to see some Denver MeFites. I'd be up for dinner or drinks. I will be downtown near the convention center, and I'd love suggestions for where to meet. If it's dinner, a place that takes reservations would be good.

Ok, we are all back from college for Thanksgiving, sleeping on an air mattress in our father's den surrounded by Bill Cosby books on fatherhood and Ronald Reagan posters. You can't find decent whiskey at home, so come join the Seattle MeFi juggernaut Manifest Destiny's Child for the usual evening of Pub Quiz Trivia to the Death at the George and Dragon. [more inside]

ATTENTION POOR MEFITES: YOU ARE ALSO WELCOME. DONATIONS ARE OPTIONAL I am leaving the country. Literally. I am having MeFite-Only Moving Sale. In honour of MetaFilter's own jessamyn, all proceeds go to Food Not Bombs. Link to photos; there's more than is pictured. This is a name-your-own-price event. I've got everything from household goods, to books, to ephemera, to wacky curiosities, to baby stuff, etc. [more inside]

The wonderful starlybri was kind enough to organize a recent NYC meet up, and some of us got to talking about how they used to happen more frequently in the city. So overhauser has kindly secured a spot at Lucky's in the East Village for us to gather on Saturday, December 9. The time will be 2-6pm. There will be cheap drinks, and we'd like to do this pot luck style with food! [more inside]

strasvistsye mnye muckers old, I am here to only asking question. Your referendum goes well and now we are to benefit from the sovereignty of national motherisland through the celebration of ancient Celtic festival of orthodox «x mass» and consumption of soft-drink «wine mulled» at Hall Town other side of Leningr… mean St. Peters Square - Albert Square! [more inside]

Socialize With The Socialists! Holiday Party and concert featuring dreamwave band Sounds Of Ceres (music video) and decor by yours truly in the legendary (underground but actually above ground ) music venue. 8pm-12. 20$ suggested. Quieter bar area available, brief speeches by local DSA politicians, and lots of merch and camaraderie. Facebook. Pre-Order tickets on Eventbrite

Would anyone be interested in meeting up and playing some board games? We can meet at Emerald Tavern or Vigilante. I don't have any specific dates in mind. Just wanted to throw the idea out and see if there's any interests. Update: I went ahead and set a time and place. Open to change if ppl prefer something else.

I meant to post this earlier, but any Mefites at BGGcon?

Improv + board games = winning! [more inside]

Because we don't always have to hang out in bars. See inside for options. [more inside]

It turns out the competition at Phoenix Landing is pretty tough--can we bring a stronger showing to this week's Geeks Who Drink trivia?

And we've made it through all 17 of the years that have passed since last November somehow. In the oldest tradition of Second Saturdays, let's get together on the Third Saturday to commiserate and even celebrate what we can. [more inside]

I’m driving my daughter to a concert at Motorco at 8:30 on Saturday, and it just occurred that some of you Durmites might want to join me for a late dinner somewhere in the area. [more inside]

Saw a buncha comments from Richmonders in the Virginia elections thread. We should have a meetup! How about at F.W. Sullivan's in the Fan? What days/times are y'all available?

Apparently the weirdest, goofiest, and funnest Marvel movie yet. [more inside]

Hello Santa Fe, I’m here for a week starting tomorrow, November 6! I have plans Thursday & Friday, but otherwise I am completely at large in your beautiful city through until Monday, Nov. 13. So, wanna meet up? Drinks? Things smothered with chile? Gallery walk? Hiking? It all sounds good!

I scream you scream we all scream for Jucy Lucys, beer, and trivia (and amazing ice cream next door if you get there early). Bonus round: use the comments to nominate a day for the next board game meetup. [more inside]

Nine Days of Pie is hosting a reading of our new book, Chocolatology. [more inside]

Hi everyone! Shepherd and I will be in town on November 26th so he can take me to the AGO to see the del Toro exhibit. Hang out after? [more inside]
