MeFi IRL

...actually, please refrain from the jazz hands BUT...
POSTunderground is an erstwhile Jazz residency held in the basement of the Brookline VFW Post 11 on 386 Washington Street. This month, they're presenting four sets of local jazz each Friday Night—7:30PM, 8:30PM, 9:30PM, 10:30PM. There's no cover—and there is a simple bar with VFW prices (read: cheap drinks). I'm gonna go on Friday March 24, sometime around 8PM. Anyone with me?

I'd love to meet up w/ the MeFi community members in DC before summer ends. Thinking that a picnic with Caribbean food would be a great way to end summer and kick-off the school year. This would have to be a collaborative effort. Plans are tentative and based on the number of responses. /Food: Avenues of the Caribbean Catering: www.avenuesofthecaribbean.com /Location: National Mall /Date & Time: Tentative

🗳Hey there!🗳 Voting has begun for the inaugural Steering Committee (SC) for Metafilter! Come on over to MeTaTalk for a list of candidates and explanation of the voting process and help determine the future of the site!

As above, my vacation dates in San Francisco are confirmed, but I’d love it if you’ll share your fav local-best-kept-secret-fun-things/places (as an former Londoner/multi-East coaster, it’s been a decade since I was last in SF!) and as a bonus, also your company to join ne at restaurants with *outdoor seating* in the Bay area (breakfast/brunch, lunch, or dinner)! I like solo travel, but find meals awkward on my own. I’ll be staying in the Mission, but am happy to take the BART etc. I don’t drive. Thanks! (I’m using the address of a sushi venue to post this.)

Hello, friends! I'm going to be in NYC for most of August, and would love to meet up outdoors. We're meeting Saturday the 20th around 3:00pm for a picnic in Prospect Park!

📬 Hello there! 📩
The Metafilter Transition Team (TT) is pleased to announce that self nominations are open for the inaugural Steering Committee! The purpose of the MetaFilter Steering Committee (SC) will be to develop and implement site policy, code updates, and ensure the financial health of the site. The SC works with the site staff and site owner to ensure that there is not a single failure point for site decisions or actions, and that there are an adequate number of people available to respond to community needs. Long story short this will be a committee of Metafilter members who help guide the site and act as the voice of the members at large. Interested? Come on over to MetaTalk and read all the details!

Hello, friends! I'm going to be in Seattle in August and I'd love to meet you in person. I don't know a thing about Seattle so I need your help on the WHERE please, but I do at least know the when: Thursday August 18. Update! IRL says this thread is closed but let's see if it'll revive when I put in a confirmed location: Volunteer Park! [more inside]

I'm looking forward to IRL meetups - I'm proposing this one to test the waters. [more inside]

Anyone else around for Big Ears this year in Knoxville? I'm missing Thursday but otherwise excited to bounce around all the weird art. Feel free to give a holla if you want to grab a coffee before Nikki Giovanni or grab a drink after Mary Lattimore or dance in the streets to Preservation Hall Band or John Zorn it up or bliss out to Angel Bat Dawid.

Many years ago I joined a group of MeFites to walk the length of Broadway in Manhattan. Wouldn't it be fun to do that again? I was thinking November 6 (Saturday) assuming the weather cooperates. [more inside]

Spooky Game Night at the Stephens' House. 2987 High Bluff Drive, Coralville, IA 52241. Our theme is spooky games. Game giveaway for best costume! [more inside]

Hi, I'm new here (to Philly, I've been on Metafilter for ages) and I don't know anyone. Any locals want to meet up, maybe at a place with good outdoor seating? Before the weather gets too cold? Weekends are generally good for me. [more inside]

As weird as the Thursday game is, it's still a chance to see y'all. So, let's convene at the G&D at the unusual time of 7 PM, shall we?

It’s been ages, we survived the heat, things are open, let’s hang out. [more inside]

New to town and I miss having people in my life! [more inside]

More trivia! With Mefites! Outdoors is an option if the weather is good or we just want the fresh air. Warning: Since restarting, there have been no questions about Central European rivers. After a rocky start, I am pleased to report the onion rings are better than ever.

Can Mefites adapt to the changing trivia world? Who knows? Come find out. [more inside]

MeFi in-person trivia has regained top tier status, even with changed day of week, time of day and format of questions. Come be part of the fun and help avoid ursine threats to the ninjas among us.

Back to the G&D for their new Thursday trivia night and food and drink.

I was rereading this thread this evening and remembered how valuable this community is and thought it might be time to propose a PDX meetup. Tell me about a time MeFites reached out and helped you. [more inside]

What it says on the tin. We got smoked last week, but that's because we needed more brains at the table. [more inside]

The George & Dragon has moved Trivia to 7 PM Thursdays, thereby confirming that we are truly in the After Times. Let's anyone who's vaccinated and comfortable with the idea show up and see if our brain muscles still work!

My spouse and I are planning to attend the Lincoln Park Zoo's Adults Night Out event on June 26. Tickets are $20 and may sell out. We'll be socially distanced, wearing masks, and fully vaccinated. The venue looks like it should be reasonably safe, perhaps aside from lines for the cash bar. If anyone else is interested in going, it would be fun to meet up in person.

Are you ready to burst out of your shell after an eternity hiding underground? Or do you just want to climb up a tree and scream? Come join me to celebrate a Brood Gen-X birthday at the Bee & Rose. [more inside]

So.
So, so, so, so...
The George & Dragon is open again, and apparently is having trivia on the date of this event.
Folks... There are 6 days 'til Tuesday, they serve a full plate of onion rings, some pretty damn good beer, it's trivia night and we're vaccinated.

I will be in San Juan from March 15-20. It will be my first time in PR. Are there any Puerto Rican mefites who would be up for a covid-sensible get-together of some kind?

Proposed date/time: Oct. 3, 2020, 10 AM Mountain Time. Those who made it to the Virtual NM+ Meetup #2 didn't discuss a next time or date, so I'm tossing out something to start the discussion. [more inside]

Missing contact with fellow humans? How about a virtual happy hour? Now with date and time! Tuesday, April 7, at 7 PM. We can't really go to the 4th Avenue Pub, but let's pretend. [more inside]

Hey, guys. Struck me this morning that it's a good idea for MeFites in town to know where everyone is, what potential needs folks have, and how to help if things get much worse. I'm setting this one as a proposed meetup in Austin in the hopes of getting emails out to folks in town, but right now I have no intention of meeting in-person--just organizing folks in town so that we can set up a network we can use to help one another and familiarize ourselves with anyone who's local on the site. Anyway, here's a space. Thoughts?

Wondering how you can help? Portland COVID-19 Mutual Aid is a great resource. You can fill out this form to offer support.
