Meetup: #11 Busless Beer Crawl
We had so much fun going to all eleven stops of the #11 Bus Beer Explorer Passport in a single day in 2016 that we did it again the next year. We missed organizing one last year, and the #11 bus no longer exists, but we're going to recreate the crawl on foot or other methods of transportation for 2019. [more inside]

Etc: DragonCon 2019 Pseudo-Meetup
Labor Day Weekend is fast approaching in Atlanta which means time again for Nerdi Gras, or as it's more properly known, DragonCon! A general "everything" fandom convention run mainly on volunteer labor, in contrast to conventions that are driven by the marketing departments of major mass media outlets, it's 5 days of fun spread across several city-block sized convention hotels. Going by past year's IRL posts, there's usually roughly a dozen or so MeFites on average who on any given year. That's out of a crowd of 80,000+ attendees, so chances are we'll never run into each other. But the central host hotel also was once The Capitol District's Tribute Training Center a few years ago, so May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor. [more inside]

Proposed: South Florida 20th Anniversary Meetup?
Has there really never been a South Florida meetup? How is this possible?!! Anyone around care to try to do something casual for our grand ol' 20th? I'm in Hollywood and can host in my small but cozy condo on either Friday the 12th or Saturday the 13th--perhaps I can put out some box wine, light snacks, and we can just do a potluck style early evening thing? Other ideas? I had a blast up in Philadelphia for the 10th anniversary and would love the chance to meet some SoFlo MeFites if possible!

Stretching the hometown hero Jimi theme: Let's do it again!
We failed to win this week but were still able to review cgc373’s recent book acquisitions. They were, as usual, edifying and inspirational.
But seriously: we did not win because you were not there. Do you want that on your permanent record for another week?
I thought not.
