MeFi IRL

There's a flock & fiber fest on the weekend of September 22 & 23. Meetup and/or weekend bike trip and/or camping? [more inside]

Hey, I'm having a porch party - aka BBQ, day-drinking, couch portal (for Ingress folk), cool peeps - on Saturday the 22nd. I like to bring together my friends from all groups because all my friends are really interesting people. Family and kids are absolutely welcome. [more inside]

Europe's best craft and boutique beer festival, held at Brouwerij de Molen, in the Netherlands. [more inside]

A very low-key social partner dance: easy to try for newbies; traditional energetic as well as modern gentle music for the partner dances; an open-role dance for those who like it. From 7:20-8pm we teach a free lesson for *total beginners* that will get you through Walking That Counts as Dancing, and give you a try at either rotary waltz or polka, which are gloriously whirly. You don't need to dress up or come with a partner. [more inside]

Hopefully they've tried turning it off and turning it on again, and everything will run smoothly at this week's installment of Geeks Who Drink trivia at Phoenix Landing.

Never Ending Night is an immersive play - a post-Apocalyptic refugee drama - set underground and performed at the Collingwood Underground Carpark. Tickets on sale from Melbourne Fringe. 18th-29th September. [more inside]

I want to go to Tamara Shopsin's reading with John Hodgman at Books Are Magic if work doesn't wear me out too much. If you'd like to come too, that'd be cool! We could also get dinner and/or drinks at one of many nearby drinking and dining establishments (like Leyenda, perhaps?). [more inside]

Hi folks, moving our monthly meetup to the THIRD Sunday of this month, and LAST-MINUTE changing to Coffeed as the locale again. As usual, all portable crafts welcome.

I just moved to Pittsburgh and would love to make some friends and meet some mefites IRL! [more inside]

Queer Lady Magician (Projects, Ask) makes its full debut at Melbourne Fringe! 12-15th Sept 2018 at Gasworks Art Park Studio Theatre. Tickets available from Melbourne Fringe or Gasworks Art Park. [more inside]

The weekly thing -- I think at some point we should probably automate posting these :) -- at the George & Dragon.

Mr Kris10_b and I have been going to trivia at Folly Brewpub on College St, but there haven't been many people showing up. I was wondering if anyone woukd like to join us for the next trivia night on 11th September so we can have a few more team members, or possibly another team. The prize is just a round of beers, but they have a good range of questions and it's always a fun night.

The DC DSA chapter's next general meeting is 3-5pm on Sunday, 9/9, and I thought it would be great for those of us who are going or who are interested in politics and activism generally to have a place to talk shop afterward. You are also absolutely welcome if you aren't interested in the DSA -- this meetup is truly for DC progressives of all stripes. The cafe, Le Pain Quotidien, is chosen for its proximity to Dupont Circle Metro.

The German club in Tempe is a decent blend of convenience and good food, and I think we should have a meet up there. Table has been booked for 8 under the name Krista (may be spelt wrong). Hopefully outside. I'll post my phone number day of for anyone whose lost. [more inside]
