MeFi IRL

I have a story in An Outbreak Of Peace, a new anthology of stories about peace, released to coincide with the centenary of the end of the first World War, and the launch event takes place at Housmans Bookshop, King's Cross, on November 14th, at 7pm. [more inside]

I would like to see y'all this week. Let's win -- or lose hilariously -- at trivia! [more inside]

Second Sunday of the month, City Bakery, you know the drill. We are predominantly knitters but any portable craft welcome.

The challenge is to make the worst piece of art in the allotted time. Worst art pieces will be rewarded with unconstructive criticism, guffaws and prizes. Plus bragging rights. Hosted by Converge Denver and Denver Public Library. All supplies provided. [more inside]

If you can't make the DC Meetup, join me and other activists at the Loudoun County office of Rep. Barbara Comstock (R–Outgoing), located on Rt. 7W in Sterling, in the same shopping center as a GEICO office (with signage). Parking is available on site and in the adjacent shopping center. We will be standing outside along Rt 7. [more inside]

Hi! If you're planning to attend this evening's protest in DC, please check in here! Share your ideas, suggestions, and news. [more inside]

Austin MeFites: come band together and stand together at city hall this evening as we mobilize to demand protection for the Mueller investigation to hold president Trump and the cronies of his administration accountable for their actions. The forced resignation of Jeff Sessions and the subsequent replacement of Rod Rosenstein by Trumpist stooge Matt Whittaker should not go unanswered. This is nothing but a transparent step towards ending or discrediting the investigation, and the people of Austin, Texas will not be fooled. [more inside]

Will we be drinking to celebrate or drinking to commiserate? Either way we'll be Geeks Who Drink Wednesday night at Phoenix Landing. (See more inside for a scheduling question.) [more inside]

I have no clever title. But I will have a drink. See you Wednesday, after work at the Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Michigan Avenue. We'll decamp 8ish, 9ish, for some sort of karaoke shenanigans. I don't know what.

Well, all, we have not had a meetup in a while now, or even a couple of whiles. Patio season is behind us, but Storm Crow Manor is descending upon us. Seems like as good a rationale as any to assemble and have a free-ranging discussion of stuff. [more inside]

So though the Second Saturday Second City Stand-Up Sanity Check Committee has been silent for a few months (though I know many of us have not been inactive), the Long Room (which has hosted us many times) and 5 Rabbit Brewery are hosting a benefit for Chicago Votes. Let's hang before the weekend [more inside]

Hi, Mefites! I'm visiting Tokyo soon and will be there Oct 29 to Nov 2. I'd love to meet up and grab some food basically anywhere in the city. My evenings are essentially free and apart from Wednesday when I've got the Ghibli museum I'm down to get lunch as well.
