MeFi IRL

Since my flight got in about 2 hours too late to make it to the MeFi 20th event (sadface), would love to catch up with whoever is available one morning this week for donuts or one evening this week for ... other delicious consumables. I'm in town through Friday morning, when we pick up our camper van head out for our grand journey down the West Coast to San Fran. [more inside]

Today is MetaFilter's 20th birthday -- it's almost old enough to drink in the US. And It's been 8 years and 1 month, since the Taters started kicking butt and taking names at Camberville trivia! [more inside]

Hi all, my friend and I are organising a Democrats Abroad Meet and Greet event at Port Street Beer House on Wednesday 17 July, 6-9pm. All are welcome, hope to see you there!

Oi, Seattle Quiz fans; I've got tomorrow night free, and figure losing at Trivia (or winning, even!) might be fun. Who's down?

The Wooden O will be performing Twelfth Night for free in Volunteer Park on July 14th. Who's interested in an anniversary meetup/potluck in Volunteer Park before the play?

YES it's happening. We’ll be at the northern part of the meadow, just south of Meadowport Arch. Bring snacks drinks kids and/or pets. In case of rain, let's do BERG'N instead. If we should change anything about the plan to make this more accessible, please let me know!

Let the games begin! Rune and Board has kindly offered to let us use their side event room for the day! 1 - 5ish pm. [more inside]

Happy 20th! Chicago-area Mefites will celebrate with a picnic in Smith Park, on the West Side. [more inside]

Holy shit, the 20th anniversary is on Sunday! Are we doing anything? There was that one conversation a while ago that kind of petered out. Can we organise anything in 3 days? [more inside]

As suggested by Ghidorah in the MeFi 20 Planning Thread, maybe this could prompt us to get our act together and have a meetup without the impetus of a Mefite visiting from elsewhere? [more inside]

Bring your portable crafts to our summer location of Coffeed on SixthAve. We're mostly knitters, but any portable craft is welcome. [more inside]

In response to this post, maybe we can actually pull-off an Indy meetup for MeFi’s birthday? [more inside]

Come to my house for the MeFi20 meetup. We'll have snacks, some sort of dinner-ish food, some sort of drinks, lawn games, indoor games, wifi, and who knows what else. If you're not normally a "meetup person" but would like to say hello and then go somewhere and twiddle with your phone while drinking a nice beverage, we can accommodate. Family and friends? Sure! Kids, are very welcome. [more inside]

Let's celebrate 20 years of MetaFilter. The Jason George has a patio if the weather is good. Time can be adjusted!

It has been almost 20 years since the first post on MeFi, so what an opportune time to get together here in the Triangle of North Carolina! Maybe we can even make this a regional thing and lure some MeFites down from the mountains, off the Outer Banks, and "y'all too, Fort Bragg!" Let's start a discussion in this thread about where, when, and what we want to do in general terms before we nail down the details. [more inside]

Metafilter's own ilana won the 2019 Toronto Fringe Festival 24-Hour Playwriting Contest!!! There's a professionally-staged reading of her winning play "Let's Talk" being held at Theatre Passe Muraille on Friday, July 12 at 8:45 in the Mainspace. Tickets and more information are available via the Toronto Fringe Festival website. [more inside]

I am growing a ton of mint from cuttings and I have several pepper plants I am growing from seed. One of these plants is mine- that leaves 4 extra. I anticipate in late June/early July I will have even more things from seed/cuttings. I have been giving some away as gifts to my best friend and my favorite bartender- but this is getting ridiculous. I don't want to compost viable plants. I propose on one of my days off (all on weekdays, and I wont know which for a bit) we meet at my local bar/restaurant The Dark Horse Inn on Geneva at 5pm-10pm on a to be determined weekday in late June/early July and we can all have a chill hang and eat and drink and support a local place and maybe some of you can give my plants a new home.
