MeFi IRL

I'm late with the post, but by gum, it is still happening! After two stunning victories in prior weeks, last week, we had a devastating second-place finish, apparently because some hotshot team from the 1990s came out of retirement and decided to eat our breakfast for us. This cannot happen again. Well, it can, but it'd sure be nice if it didn't. [more inside]

Tuesday's on it's way, so it's time again for the mighty Taters to (hopefully) triumph at Geeks Who Drink trivia, at the bar formerly known as McCabe's on Mass. [more inside]

It's fall in New Mexico, and the time is ripe for a meetup! Let's look a couple weekends out, unless people want to escape the Balloon Fiesta madness in ABQ and want to do something sooner. [more inside]

Hey everyone! We're planning a little "meet your fellow Calgary MeFites" night, over board games! Join us if you can, should be great.

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "New Ground", featuring Geordi nerding out and Worf trying to parent effectively. [more inside]

I know this is ridiculously last-minute, but I'll be at a loose end in Portland, Maine this Friday. [more inside]

This time out, we'll be chatting about whether you are your friend's friend, what happens when we feel lonely, and the benefits of solitude. Please join us for good conversation and the last of the late-summer Margaritas at the next Salon in Brooklyn, on Thursday, August 25th, 2016 at 7:30 PM. [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "A Matter of Time", featuring asteroids, rescue attempts and a future historian! [more inside]

The recurrent Tuesday trivia night meetup in Seattle [more inside]

Hey! My partner and I are going to be in Reykjavik on September 2nd and 3rd and then again on the 10th. I’ve noticed there’s a statistically improbable number of Mefites there and would love to grab a few drinks with y’all (or just serve as an excuse for a meetup). What do people think?

So, I'll be making my way all the way up the West Coast pretty soon and Vancouver is my final stopover. Any Mefites want to meet up sometime on that Friday or Saturday? [more inside]

I'm taking a trip up the West Coast and was wondering if any Mefites want to meet up! I've only been to LA once before and saw all the touristy Hollywood stuff (and had In-N-Out :D), so I think someone else will probably have to propose the place/activity . . . [more inside]

Any mefites going to be in the KC area for MidAmericon II this week and interested in making an IRL happen? Edit: I'm going to go ahead and throw something on the calendar - if it turns out this time/day is especially bad, we adjust as needed. I'll be around most of the day on Friday for sure if we wanted to do something during the day instead.

To everything there is a season, and McCabe's on Mass has decided it was time to become McCabe's Bar & Grille. They no longer take reservations, but they promised me on the phone that there would be trivia on Tuesday night, so let's go check out the changes.

gucky and I are pleased to invite Bay Area MeFites to our 10 year anniversary party, featuring a 35mm matinee of When Harry Met Sally, September 10th at 1pm at the Roxie in San Francisco. RSVP information inside. [more inside]

I've been obsessed with RPGs since high school but only fairly recently started actually playing them. Now I find I'd like to run a game from time to time and I thought mefites would make a good group of people to play with! [more inside]

We've had two Palo Alto ice cream events so far this summer thanks to koroshiya. How about a third? [more inside]

Houston Restaurant Weeks is on again, in support of the food bank. We've gathered in years past to celebrate the season, so let's do it again! The list of restaurants supporting is in the link, take a look and suggest below.

We're getting a reputation. [more inside]

Meet at the Needles Eye Tunnel at noon on the 8th of Sept by driving up the East side of Rollins Pass. [more inside]

I will be in New York City for a few days at the end of September. I would be pleased to hoist a glass with local mefites. [more inside]

Come out to a fun comedy show that's life-affirming, feminist, LGBTQ+, in AIR CONDITIONED BASEMENT, with some beer giveaways and other fun stuff? [more inside]

Boldly continuing with Star Trek Happy Hour, "Unification I", featuring Leonard Nimoy, Vulcans and Romulans and crossover with TOS lore! [more inside]

Remember the 11 bus? Were you mad they discontinued it? Well, it's back! Temporarily, anyway, and a number of bars along the route have teamed up for 11 on 11: a beer explorer trek to bump up ridership. Join us for a full day of stupidity as we try to hit all 11 in one day because we are idiots. [more inside]

Let's overcome our reserved reputation and meet each other IRL! [more inside]

Shot in the dark: hand-crafted animated shorts from around the world [more inside]

Hoosiers, time to get together and quaff a cold one and tell outrageous stories and have fun. [more inside]

I just found out that the United Magyar House, a cultural center for Hungarians, does an open house dinner and movie night around 7 PM on fridays. I don't think we should miss it! [more inside]

Let's keep alive the grand tradition of the least reliable metafilter meetup! Reconnect with your internet family in your desert home. If you'll be in Black Rock City this year -- at least let your subconscious know that somewhere within a bike ride, other mefites are drinking and making merry. [more inside]
