MeFi IRL

Previously in trivia: "Curiosity Killed the Martian. Thanks, NASA" put in a solid bronze medal performance. Come join us at the Maple Leaf Pub to stake out a good table for steak at 7 and yummy yummy trivia at 8. Wait, strike that, reverse it...

Not sure how many of you hooligans are around still, but I'd be down for a get-together before summer's up. Ideas, anyone? [more inside]

Drinks and dinner at Bir&Fud in Trastevere, Rome. [more inside]

I'm going to be in Portland this Saturday and would love to meet you folks again. How about meeting at the BridgePort BrewPub for some afternoon beers before I catch the evening train back to Seattle?

I am moving to Montreal to go to Concordia at the beginning of Sept. Mid Sept does anyone want to have an Introduce the Moose to the wilds of quebec style meet up?

September has begun (or will have had begun when this meetup has happened) and thus it is time for a billy goat tavern meetup followed by the totally optional (and totally awesome) karaoking at the blue frog.

Let's have drinks while we learn about science! [more inside]

this meetup is at the 4th ave pub. There will be a mystery door prize. I can't tell you what it is, because it is a mystery. SPOOKY? PERHAPS

Dragon*Con is nearly upon us again, who's going this year? It would be fruitless to attempt a scheduled Mefi meetup since everyone will no doubt have completely conflicting schedules, but maybe some of us will manage to cross paths at some point during the festivities, or just post in this thread after the fact lamenting our near misses? [more inside]

Barcade. I know you all had good suggestions for other bars, so shoot some of those my way when you get the chance, okay? Okay!

Every Wednesday many people with banjos gather in an Elk's Lodge and play American classics in perfect unison. Other people gather to drink and watch them play. I propose a meetup where we do the latter. [more inside]

So garlic and I have been tossing around the idea of a bingo meetup at the Blue Frog. They do it every Monday night, although I'm not sure what time it starts. How about a Monday in September (after Labor Day)?

On 28-29 September the Bodegraven Beerfest will be held. Anybody want to meetup on Saturday? [more inside]

Any Hudson Valley mefites up for a meet-up? [more inside]

Tired of your local rap battle circuit? Bored with shaming the same fools time and time again? Ready for something higher brow? Step to the Hip Hop Debate. [more inside]

I bought himself a house earlier this year in Eureka, and it's meetup time! There's a MeFite who just touched down in Arcata last month, so let's give him a hearty welcome to our wonderful area. Meet your MeFi neighbors and my kitteh posse. On the menu: BBQ, homemade pizza. Leaning towards September 21 (as it's my 41st birthday!) but I've got plenty of flexibility; most Fridays/Saturdays in Sept are open. Event flyer. Feel free to bring grillables, appetizers, etc. BYOB -- but there'll be a 12-pack on hand.

One year later and she is back for more! Stewriffic will be back in town so let's meetup. Sunday, September 30, let's say 7pm onwards? She'll be staying in a hotel in Palo Alto (Barron Park area) but I am uncertain about her transportation situation so let's pick a place in PA. California Avenue area might be most convenient. Open to suggestions! [Edit: location will be Antonio's Nut House]

Anyone interested in attempting a Burning Man meetup? [more inside]

It's Monday and Things are looking up! [more inside]

This year feistycakes and I will be vacationing in California, with the last few days just north of San Diego, in Encinitas. Anyone want to meet up on Saturday, Sept. 8? [more inside]

I'm headed to Fairbanks the week of 8/20 - I'd love to have a drink or two with someone from Metafilter (if there are any of us there?) Maybe midweek? Looks like Wednesday the 22nd. And I think the Alaska Coffee Roasting Company. All that's left is a time...7pm work?

Come watch Winnebago Man and Resurrect Dead and help me deface a ridiculously large Morrissey poster. Bring your own chairs, because I don't have many :)

Let's keep the Philly meetup momentum going! Is anyone interested in going to Nerd Nite in September? [more inside]

Will be in Minneapolis from 8/30-9/3 hanging out, visiting, and attending the State Fair. Anyone up for a State Fair meet up or barring that somewhere else during these dates?

Since several of us are from the Ditmas Park/Kensington area, we've been talking about having a meetup at Sycamore, the neighborhood whiskey bar/flower shop (don't worry, they've also got beer). There is a backyard, so let's meet there if the weather is nice!

Previously in trivia: "Google Fiber - Now With 100% More Cookies" took home the silver medal in a heroic effort. Can we keep the momentum going? We're building up our prize winnings for a great Quonsar party. Come join us at the Maple Leaf Pub at 7 for a good table and a yummy steak. Trivia's at 8. (Edit: Moved to Aug. 16 due to Real Life.)

Calling all Utah (or Utah-inclined) MeFites. [more inside]

I'm going to the Cornell Astronomy Department's Mars Science Lab Landing event. It's super late, but you should come anyway. There'll be talks, thrills, planetary scientists, and NASA TV. [more inside]

We're having a housewarming! For our new house condo! Come on over! [more inside]

Fednuts this Saturday at 10am. I will be the tragically hip Mefite wearing a blue shirt with a star upon it. [more inside]

Besides that nasty olive flavored beer, everything about the 4th Ave Pub is amazing and wonderful and superlative. Even the popcorn. Especially the popcorn.

It is at Barcade which is a bar and an arcade. Together. As one. It's all very romantic.

And neither should you. Wish DiscourseMarker bon voyage as she heads back to Memphis for the fall. Geeks Who Drink trivia, Monday night at Tommy Doyle's.
