MeFi IRL

I'm in LA. Would like to meet some MeFites. How's THIS Tuesday at 8 pm at Musso & Frank in Hollywood?

Chicon 7, this year's World Science Fiction Convention, is being held in Chicago August 30 through September 3, 2012. Mefites! Let's hang out!! [more inside]

I can't be the only MeFite going to Comic Con this year. What about the rest of y'all?

If you're interested, a couple of us are getting together at Coors Field on the 16th for the Rockies vs. Pirates game. We've reached the maximum number of people I can get seats for next to each other. Sorry! [more inside]

We need a new venue for regular(ish) Melbourne pub trivia. Suggestions, recommendations, thoughts, all welcome. The more the merrier, so even if you don't have a venue in mind but are interested in coming along let us know what nights and/or suburbs are viable and we'll see if we can accommodate. Cheers!

Q: Hey feistycakes, what do you want to do for your b-day this year? A: Put a head on a stick and have a party! [more inside]

It's time again for the bi-weekly trivia quiz. Brave the heat and come down to the cool confines of the Maple Leaf Pub. Steaks at 7, game starts at 8. Last time we came in both first and second, so we've got a few $'s in winnings to spend. And for those not eating steak the Leaf has stepped up their game on the menu adding a few things to the always-awesome jalepeno's. [more inside]

Kind of a short-notice thing, I know (this is NOT the "BBQ meat-up" discussed previously, that'll be later this summer). As July 4th falls on a Wednesday, and I'll have a houseguest with me this coming weekend, I thought it would be fun to have a little get-together. NOTE - DATE AND TIME HAVE CHANGED. [more inside]

Why did the MeFite go to Geeks Who Drink trivia, Monday night at Tommy Doyle's? Because he didn't want toupee!

Stampede is on in Calgary in early July and promises to be a fiesta of people slacking off work early. May's meetup was fun, does anyone want to meetup again during Stampede week? [more inside]

Pony related posts seem to attract a bit of interest here on the blue. I was wondering if other mefites were attending the upcoming BronyCon, and if so, I would be happy to meet you. [more inside]

I'll be in Winona, MN from the afternoon of the 25th to about noon on the 29th. I'll be pretty busy until late afternoon but will be free in the evenings. Anybody want to meetup?

I enjoyed the LA area meet up I went to recently, but it's in the far North of LA and that cuts out a bunch of the Orange County and South Bay mefis I see out there. [more inside]

Copenhagen is my last stop in Europe after a month long trip through Europe. I will be there from July 3 untill July 9th visiting an friend and seeing the sights. Anyone have ideas for cafes/bars/pubs to meet at or group activities?

This is a full length (hour and a half) variety show (loosely) on the theme of palindromes and symmetry. It includes stand up comedy by the excellent Dax Jordan, now of Los Angeles; music by the mysterious Cymbalman; Semor D. Nilap of SCINEGENICS corporation, as recently seen at the CHAD Chats; and the first ever land-based synchronized swimming performance, by the Olivia Darlings. Also -- a live palindrome competition featuring 3 competitors from the recent World Palindrome Championship -- winner msalt, popular author Jon Agee, and Australian master palindromist Martin Clear -- as well as Mary Lang (of the rock group Gift) and Dax. Audience members are invited to join -- bring paper pencil and a dictionary (or whatever tools you need) if you're interested.

I'm searching for a new job. You might be too. It's usually easier and much more fun when you are not doing it alone. Let's have a job hunting meetup! [more inside]

Mission Bar, Thursday, 7/12/2012 @ 6:30PM. Basically an after-work thing. Spitting distance from the 24th St. BART. You have no reason not to go. [more inside]

The New York Pirate Party is organizing a protest where we all gather outside Lincoln Center, dress as pirates, and sing copyrighted songs while holding up signs reading "THIS IS ILLEGAL". This Saturday, we rehearse the event. [more inside]

So, Koi Palace is the Best Chinese Restaurant in the US according to some dude. And it's in Daly City, just a short hop from San Francisco. Tuesday, 6:30pm to beat the long wait for tables. I have six yeas so far, ten and we can do a fixed price menu (see menu link in discussion).

The Brixton Book Jam is an eclectic gathering for people who are passionate about books and the written word. It’s a mix of readings, talks and panels, chatting and socialising. [more inside]

Something new for our inveterate Meet The Lady followers and artistic nudity lovers! Our long-running variety show is being upgraded from the 92YTribeca screening room to their mainstage, which gives us the chance to create a far more memorable and diverse program. First up: a tribute to burlesque in cinema (and vice versa). [more inside]

My very informal running group is going on a midnight official-start-of-summer run, followed by beer. The run will be a leisurely (10m/mi) 5K along the Newport waterfront. [more inside]

It’s the way, far future, AD 2010, and it’s a bad time to be human. Freedom fighter Kate Brick plans a final strike against the Artas, artificial life forms who control humankind through torture, brainwashing, and Foursquare. Can Kate and her sometime-lover Dehnise Compuserve make a difference, or is it already too late? "2010: Our Hideous Future" is a synthpop-infused, queer-friendly musical comedy homage to the great dystopian classics of the 1980s and '90s. It features brilliant riffs on classics like “Blade Runner,” “Max Headroom,” and “The Matrix,” and delightfully twisted tunes like "Near Futuristic Dystopia!" and "Bangor Boogie.” Tickets ($10) are available online or at the door. [more inside]

Anyone want to pal around in Paris from now until June 30th? [more inside]

Hi! I've got this train ticket to London burning a hole in my pocket. It's for Saturday, July 7th and I should arrive around 12:30. What say we do a meetup that day/evening? Who's in and what shall we do? Update: meetup back to proposed. I still have a train ticket, but can reschedule it for another weekend (granted I make the change by the 7th). Any Londonders wanna meet up?

Anybody want to meet up for a weekday dinner in Alexandria Va.? I was thinking most likely on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday, at either Shooter McGee's on Duke Street or Paradiso Italiano on Franconia Road. Other places in Alexandria's west end considered, but not on a weekend, and not in Old Town --- trying to avoid too much hassle with parking and crowds!

We had a really excellent meetup last time in Ottawa, it seems a shame not to do it again, very soon. Summer is often tough but mid-July would be great for us. What about for all of you Ottawa/Quebec types? Would love to see you again.

valkyryn and I are coming to Boston July 26-27. Let's meet up! [more inside]

I'd be really interested to see who around here is a Metafilter member and would like to meet any of them. I'd be willing to organize, so just say hi.

I just bought a big new house and would love to have the handful of MeFites in this county drop in for drinks and homemade pizza! You will be welcomed by my four sweet kitties. Perhaps later this summer or September, depending on people's schedules.

So, I (Ivan Fyodorovich, once known as Ethereal Bligh) just moved to Kansas City about a week ago and am eager to generally meet some new people here and specifically to meet the mefites in these parts. How long has it been since there's been an area meetup? Who's interested in having another? [more inside]

Work is taking me to Charlotte and I'll be there for an extra day. Would love to get together with folks this Friday night, the 15th, and have some food and maybe a beer. [more inside]

For those who aren't familiar with it, Silverdocs is a kickass documentary film festival sponsored by the American Film Institute and Discovery. Most of the films are screened in the lovely AFI Silver in downtown Silver Spring, MD, which is metro accessible. Anyone going? Anyone interested? Want to try to meetup somewhere in Silver Spring for pre-or post-film drinks? I live nearby and already have tickets for at least one film for most of the days. The festival runs from June 18-24, but I imagine that it might be easier to coordinate something over the weekend (June 23 or 24) or perhaps Friday night? [more inside]
