MeFi IRL

Bowling! It will be fun, no need to be any good at bowling (I'm useless, so you will probably be better than me). Let me know if you're in, so I have an idea of numbers. After bowling there will no doubt be food and drink somewhere nearby. (The map is not entirely accurate, but putting in the correct address somehow screws up Google Maps and brings up a location on the East River.)

Hi there, Aussie MeFites! I am currently on a solo three-week road trip through your lovely country. It's been a ton of fun! I will be flying home from Sydney on March 10th, and will have a free evening in the city the night before -- Wednesday, March 9th. Would any of you care to meet up for a beer with a lonesome traveler? [more inside]

Jessamyn, Josh, and I will be in town for SXSW and our time is short but we'd like to do a late night Friday thing. We'll be downtown at the old timers ball previous to this (everyone is invited to that too).

So, next Wednesday is March 2, which means your friendly neighborhood TINCC* requests the honor of your presence at the Billy Goat Tavern under Michigan Avenue. [more inside]

I'm going to be in San Francisco on Saturday, 12 March, and would love to see you crazy awesome people. How about meeting at the Buck Tavern at 5:30? [more inside]

Hi everybody! parmanparman is heading up our way to do some work/research and I thought that'd be a lovely excuse to scrobble together what few (but awesome) MeFites we have around here. What say we get together this Friday, February 25th, 6:30pm for food and drink? Venue tbd, suggestions welcome!

I'll be playing some of my songs from albums new, old and as yet unrecorded at the lovely Phibbers bar on the Holloway Road, and it would be lovely to combine that with a drink with some fellow Mefites. The music is sort of bluesy folk-rock - you can have a listen here or here to see if it's your kind of thing. Other acts on the bill TBC - it's 3 on the door and I'll be playing a half hour set from 8.30pm.

My band, the Velikovsky Affair, is playing at the Elbo Room in Chicago this upcoming Wednesday. [more inside]

Eideteker's in town, so we're having brunch. [more inside]

Is anyone else going to be at the Dance Flurry in Saratoga Springs, NY, Feb 18-20? [more inside]

It is in Ridgewood. Here is a NYT article about it. I hope you can read it. It seems like getting together and trying out some of their games would be good.

We're planning on visiting Portland to scout out areas we might move to, while we're there we'd love to share a beer with some of the local mefites. Our schedules are essentially wide open at the moment, we'll get in Friday - Feb 25 and depart Monday the 28th. [more inside]

We'll be meeting for drinks at Murphy's Law, of Gone Baby Gone fame. It's not the closest bar to BCEC, but it's a short easy walk, and hopefully that means it won't be too busy. This'll be Saturday night, overlapping some of the late Saturday events (JoCo and Omegathon round 3, in particular), but there's not a lot of drinking time that doesn't overlap, so there's really no choice.

Team Austin ran out of gas on the white elephant exchange, but it would be nice to say hi sometime this month before the big SXSW meetup that is no doubt coming down the pipe. [more inside]
