MeFi IRL

**UPDATE: Meetup time/date/venue has been set!*** Ayyyy my nerrrrrds. I'm going to be visiting London—specifically Hackney/Dalston—at the end of October. Never been to England—but I'm from New England! ha ha ha ahem I'm probably gonna get hit by a car. Who's with me! Okay, that's not your thing, how about a pint or two at a local pub? I've been told by my one Brit friend to look for places that have names like "The Pig & Whistle" or "The Blue Rooster"... someplace that serves warm beer from a single tap, and has ugly food. He said it, not me. OKAY! deets inside. [more inside]

Not the religious kind, but the “this meetup contingent appears to be sleeping, shall we awaken it?” kind. While the weather is (more or less) on our side, what do folks think about some type of low-key meetup in September or October? [more inside]
