MeFi IRL

A two-part event; come to either or both! The Community Board 1 monthly meeting, featuring an MTA presentation on the Astoria Boulevard ADA & Station Renewal project and Astoria Line track improvements - then, when the meeting is over around 9pm, a glass of wine someplace nearby (will update this event when we choose said place).

Laissez les bon Taters roulez, we’re heading to Orleans for trivia this week.

It's been a while, so what say you, Toronto-and-area MeFites, to a meetup? Say late-afternoonish (3:00 or 4:00) on the Ides-of-March-adjacent Saturday, March 16? As is the custom, we usually manage to carry on well into the evening, so plenty of latitude for folks to drop in as they can. Proposing the habitual venue of the Jason George (100 Front Street East), since they seem to have been able to accommodate us as a group with no hassle in the past, and it's quiet enough for folks to carry on conversation. Will see what the response is like over the next week or so and confirm the details at that point.

PyCon North America 2019 will be May 1-9 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Any other MeFites coming? Want to grab a beverage together somewhere in there?

Have we not done Ethiopian food? We have not done Ethiopian food! Let's go to Chercher (the DC location) on Presidents' Day. [more inside]

As in, I only barely remembered to post. George, Dragon, and quizzes. Who's in!?

It's the 102nd anniversary of Zsa Zsa Gabor's birth. Celebrate by slapping a cop joining us at the Billy Goat for our monthly revelry. [more inside]

Under_petticoat_rule and I are continuing our travels around the world - and our effort to have a MeFi Meetup in just about every city we visit. Come on out, have a beer or other beverage of your choice, tell us what we shouldn't miss in Melbourne and give us first hand accounts of Democracy Sausages! (And wish me a happy birthday!)

Apologies for the late post, but y'all know the drill anyway (same time, same place, second Sunday of the month, any portable craft welcome). [more inside]

Our trivia venue plans are a bit in flux at present, but we were happy to hear that Quizmaster Travis will be hosting a charity fundraising quiz Tuesday night at Phoenix Landing. [more inside]

The Mr and I will be in Ireland for three weeks, starting Feb 11. I'd love to meetup with fellow mefites while we're there! [more inside]

New venue! This month we are meeting at Babajan, the restaurant formerly owned by MetaFilter's own jan murray, who still works there most Fridays. The menu includes vegan, vegetarian, and meat options, and the bar serves a rotating list of delightful stuff for beer drinkers. [more inside]
