MeFi IRL

Yes, it's open again. The Press tells us it now has spacious spa-like bathrooms. No shit! Or shit! Whatever. Join us, won't you? [more inside]

My plans changed sorry folks [more inside]

Not to jinx it or anything, but it seems like the weather is taking a turn for the better. We're going to shoot for Saturday, April 21 at 1pm at the Middlesex Fells Reservation. If the weather is cruddy, we'll shift it to April 22 at 1pm. [more inside]

I'm posting this to allow coordination for any MeFites, local or visiting for the occasion, who will be attending the March for Our Lives on the 24th. [more inside]

Not exactly a traditional DC Foodies meetup, but: I recently posted a question about trying new amari on AskMe, and exogenous mentioned that Don Ciccio e Figli is producing amari right here in DC! Let's go try them next month. [more inside]

Hello HK MeFites, The universe did some funny things to me recently and now I find myself in Hong Kong by myself for the week. I'd love to meet up for lunch/drinks/dinner/whatever. I am especially interested in dinner because I want to eat more things and you just can't when you're on your own! Am staying in Mong Kok. Have octopus card, will travel! Stellathon

Well it's almost spring, as evidenced by all the snow on the ground.
Wait.
Oh well.
It may not feel like spring, but the Taters will surely bloom on Wednesday at 7pm at Geeks Who Drink trivia at Phoenix Landing.

My band, Northern Nomads, is opening up for Fármacos from Santiago, Chile. A fun night of synthpop, electrofunk, and dancing! [more inside]

I’m reading Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. I’d like to talk about it with people. Metafilter is full of great and thoughtful people. I think this book would be good for discussion in two meetings because it’s long, with the paperback coming in at 479 pages. There are discussion questions in the back of the book. We could choose two or three (or more!) things to talk about. [more inside]

Oh hey - the Mr. and I will be in Rome this month from 26 March to 4 April. Anyone want to meetup for aperitivo? Or suggest someplace to eat for Easter supper? Thanks!

I moved here in January. I don't know anyone beyond my wife. I thought I'd see if there was anyone here that would be interested in a meet up. I live in the Montrose area, so inside the loop would be best. Drinks somewhere would be great, but something more unique would be cool too.

This coming weekend (Saturday, March 17th) we will be having a family-friendly meetup at the zoo! Everyone is welcome; we thought this would be a nice opportunity for people with kids and people without kids to hang out especially because the zoo is FREE! [more inside]

Energetic (if you'd like) ballroom dancing in a very informal setting. Open-role partnering (that means you can lead and/or follow with anyone); free lesson for total beginners from 7:20-8; dancing 8-10. [more inside]

So I'm going to be in San Francisco for GDC, but I'm also staying for a few days afterwards, and would love to meet any local MeFites. Let's meet up in Union Square at noon on the 25th May. I will be wearing a bright green scarf.

OK, there isn't any actual madness, but this month, we're going to Golden Samovar in Rockville, MD for delicious Russian and Central Asian foods! (But didn't we just have Central Asian food last month, you ask? Yes, and we liked it! Why not more? Or you can just stick to the Eastern European options on the menu.) [more inside]

Jessamyn is back again in Toronto! An excellent time to call another meetup =) [more inside]

I'm coming to Arkansas, and I'm ready to rock a little (har) - I'll be in Little Rock from the afternoon of March 18, leaving on March 22. Who's around and about and wants to grab a bite? [more inside]

First Wednesday is almost upon us, which means it's time for the monthly Chicago meetup! [more inside]

As everybody who wrote postcards to voters until their hands cramped last month, the Illinois Primary is March 20th. Let's get together and discuss any questions we might have about the candidates and where our loyalties lie. Also BRUNCH! [more inside]

I'm playing a rare, short, solo opening set at my brother's record release event, and then playing in his band for the main show. Doors open at 8:30, show starts 9pm. $10 advance (tickets here), $12 at the door. [more inside]
