Let's get together! [more inside]

Time for one more Geeks Who Drink pub trivia meetup before DiscourseMarker departs Cambridge for the fall. Monday night, 7:30, Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square.

Hey all, I'm going to be in Sydney for a couple days next week and would love to meet up at a bar and see those of you from MeFi I never get to meet in person. I have no idea where to meet up, but Thursday night next week (August 4th) somewhere downtown by the circular quay would work best for me.

City Works Campaign (formerly The LA Project) are launching an initiative titled LA Here and Now to leverage and integrate the skills of local programmers, software developers, designers, community activists, urban planners, and urban thinkers into real solutions for our city’s problems.

There's no post for the (I assume) August 3rd Goat meet-up. Of course, I'm just wondering, since I've never actually made it to one....

Mt. Angel Oktoberfest meetup - September 17th, 2011. [more inside]

I moved to Cork a few months ago and we're finally settled, so I think it's beyond time to arrange a meetup. I would love to meet some local mefites and have a yarn. I'm here with my non-mefi husband (don't worry, he's still nice) who will be tagging along. We're open to suggestions for times and places since we don't know the local scene at all. Update: I added the date and time and stuff, hopefully it's OK! The google maps API here is kind of crap and I can't make it any more accurate than this, so if you need directions look up The River Lee hotel on the google maps website and it will point right at it.

Anyone going to Defcon 2011 in Vegas? I will be there, don't have details like a hotel room worked out yet.

the young rope-rider is having a baby in September, and I think a celebration is in order. Let's have a picnic in Prospect Park! RESCHEDULED THANKS TO THAT JERK IRENE! [more inside]

I am keen on meeting Montreal MeFites. And considering warm weather is in scarce supply for the majority of the year, this means pints on a patio! [more inside]

The original "Let's Walk Broadway" meetup has been postponed until more reasonable temperatures return. But there's a nifty little street carnival happening in my neighborhood that was along the original route. We should check it out! [more inside]

Amon Tobin is coming back to SF, playing at The Warfield on Saturday, October 1, 2011. I'm coming up for the 9pm show, and have heard from one other MeFite who is planning on going to the show. Anyone want to meet up some while before?

The Funk Ark is performing at the Kogod Courtyard Thursday at 5, for free. [more inside]

Miko popped into the picnic thread to say she'd be here July 23-28 and is free in the evening while she's here (except on Sunday and Monday). Like most conference-goers, she's staying Loopish. Since the monthly Goat is one week later, I propose a different spot. But where? There's the conundrum. We have decided upon Ten Cat in Lakeview. [more inside]

Steak and Geeks Who Drink pub trivia. What could be better? I know! Our score could be better! Last time's 7th place finish (out of 15 teams) was like the episode of Cheers when Cliff went on Jeopardy! and found categories that were custom-made for him... only exactly the opposite. Still, we'll pick ourselves up and dust off and try again! Don't forget to come early to stake out a good table and enjoy yummy yummy steak!

Yo, KC MeFites! geoff. suggested that we have a meetup in late July/August at Julian in Brookside. I'm down if you are! [more inside]

Short notice - anyone in Munich interested in meeting up this week? [more inside]

I'm finally going to be back in Abu Dhabi. I'm arriving on the evening of the 19th and leaving on the evening of the 25th. I'll probably have Saturday the 23rd free if anybody wants to try and meetup. I'll leave specific location up to the people who live in the area. Please suggest something.

Feeling down? Your Wednesday plans not shaping up as you'd like? Then come have dinner with me, my boyfriend, (The Rt Hon.) MP and some awesome non-mefites. Bring a (vegan) dish, or a beverage, and yourself. We're taking care of a few dishes ourselves, so if you can't think of a vegan dish to bring, don't sweat it and just bring drinks. [more inside]

Who would be up for another Game Day in August? [more inside]

Join bondcliff, canine epigram, and cranberry_nut as we venture further North for a second MeFike in New England! Mefites from Boston and the rest of New England (or hell, anywhere) are welcome. [more inside]

Hey guys! It's time again for Boston/Cambridge area Geeks Who Drink pub trivia. We must continue our trivia dominance over the rest of New England nerdery. We will of course be at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square again, but your guess is as good as mine as to which floor. Maybe we'll be on the roof. Who knows--it's all part of the adventure. At least one of us will be wearing a MeFi t-shirt.

My band, Short Wave, is playing its first gig, at Sally O'Brien's in Union Square, Somerville! We're opening for an old Boston indie mainstay, the In Out (which I was a part of in 1995-96), and they are releasing their latest LP. Yes, vinyl, not CD. So: Friday, July 29, we go on at 10PM. Sam Wheeler opens up at 9PM. SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC, PEOPLE! Thanks!

Bring an instrument you like, play music together for a couple of hours. [more inside]

How does next Saturday, August 13 sound? Lunch and bocce ball, Horner Park.

Normal For Once will be celebrating the release of our new 3-song EP, along with special guest T.C. Folkpunk. [more inside]

The Siawnses are taking a wee holiday to China; we will be in Beijing on the night of the August 12th (among other nights). Do any Beijinger MeFites fancy a meetup then? Is a Friday night a dumb time to meet in Beijing? Anybody know a good place to go? Please feel free to give advice on locations/times, because I basically have no clues when it comes to what's what in Beijing.

(Last week got postponed due to Real Life interference.) Time for more Geeks Who Drink pub trivia! We've placed 2nd twice and 3rd once in our last three events. Let's go for first place this time! Maple Leaf Pub, July 7th, 8:00 PM. Get there early for steak and potato!

Afternoon: Mission mural tour! I'm right in CELLspace which is a big mural in and of itself so we can start there. Also any fun secrets along the way. Evening: drinks/food/hang out/chat. Woo! [more inside]

Moving to Atlanta -- anyone want to meet up in early August? [more inside]

The "Where The Hell Is Matt"? guy is dancing at the Watts Towers tomorrow, July 5th at 7 pm and you're invited! I don't know what parking is like, so I'm probably going to park at 103rd St. Station and take the Blue Line there. Maybe dinner after? It would be great to see everyone there! [more inside]

Hi! I'll be in Boulder for the entire month of July and I want to meet you all. Let's get together and do stuff. What say, Sunday, July 17th to kick off the fun? 7pm, Walnut Brewery.

Anyone in the area planning to watch the fireworks? [more inside]

I'm taking the intern on a tour of NYC journalism hotspots and we might as well have a meetup while we're at it. He's only 18 so bars are out, and we're flying in Monday afternoon so I figure a Monday night meetup would be a good introduction to NYC, good food, and good friends.
