Proposed: Rotterdam/Amsterdam/The Hague Meetup
Hey! Not sure how to search for members who might want to meet up IRL some time the week of May 5th, so I thought I'd make one of these for the first time. I will potentially be in town to see some friends and do some business networking, might be fun to organize a MeFi get together too!

Meetup: Austin meetup May 4 (Saturday)
Dear Austin friends, it has been a long time since I've seen your smiling faces. We're in town for the Rhiannon Giddens concert on Thursday night and have Saturday afternoon open. I don't know where a good meetup place would be, but ideally it would be outdoors with a shaded patio for health reasons. Would love to find a good place and see y'all!
Radio East, 3 PM onward. Looking forward to seeing those who can make it!

Meetup: Chicago: Brit YouTuber Meetup at O'Shaughnessy's
I regret I never made it to a Chicago Goat meetup. But I may actually make the trip from the north suburbs to meet one of my favorite London mudlarkers, Nicola White, who is coming to town to meetup with Brycefoot, who does Geocaching and related stuff locally. I don't know how much this might appeal to some of my local Mefites - or even if it doesn't - if you want a reason to get out for a bit, then come on out! [more inside]

Presentation: Tell Me Everything, Now Shut Up (w/Misha Glouberman)
Hey Mefites, let's meetup at this event before it begins, and attend this workshop together. The more, the merrier!
Misha Glouberman earns his money as a business communications guy, but he's also geeky & fun.
From the Eventbrite description of the event:
"You can get to know someone in 12 minutes." This is the insane thesis behind “Tell Me Everything, Now Stop Talking”, a participatory show where we’ll speedrun getting to know each other and embrace the beautiful, heart-opening awkwardness of group intimacy. [more inside]

Proposed: Let's get together in Missoula before Pearl Jam!
I just got a ticket to see Pearl Jam in Missoula on August 22. I'm planning on being in town well before the event. Not entirely sure where I'm sleeping or what I'm doing with my car but I'd like to meet up with MetaFilter people before the show! So let's get together maybe around 3:30 or 4:00 pm and someplace that people local to Missoula know about that would be good for this kind of thing. I'm open for discussion.

Ayyyy my nerrrrrds. I'm going to be visiting London—specifically Hackney/Dalston—at the end of October. Never been to England—but I'm from New England! ha ha ha ahem I'm probably gonna get hit by a car. Who's with me! Okay, that's not your thing, how about a pint or two at a local pub? I've been told by my one Brit friend to look for places that have names like "The Pig & Whistle" or "The Blue Rooster"... someplace that serves warm beer from a single tap, and has ugly food. He said it, not me. OKAY! deets inside. [more inside]

Far in the future, another planet is dying. The next great migration is happening; thousands of people racing from one world to the next. On an old freighter, destined to become their future home, four individuals are thrown together. Struggling with nostalgia for Earth Seven, the crew must decide how much they will risk to get to the next world first. For two weeks at Theatre Works from Sept 13 to Sept 23. [more inside]

Meetup: DragonCon 2023
In the past I've tried doing meetups at DragonCon, at specific times and places there, and I only ever met one person that way. So I gave up. Now I'm doing it again, but differently. I'm going to be at DragonCon this year. If you're also going to be there, let me know and we can communicate and try to say hi in person over Labor Day Weekend. Nothing huge, just a chance to bump into interesting people and maybe go to related panels or get in board games or the like. I'm going alone and it'd be nice to actually see people that I know (even if just in the MeFi online kind of way).

Online: The Artist's Way - Starts Sunday, May 7 (in progress)
Hi everyone! Last summer, a handful of us here at Metafilter completed Julia Cameron's classic creativity program, The Artist's Way. It's a 12-week program designed to help you connect to your inherent sense of creativity, be more productive, and build your enjoyment and confidence in artistic work (whether it's writing, music, visual arts, or just simply living a more artistic life). danabanana and I are revisiting the program this year and we'd love your company, whether you're a first-timer or someone looking to try it again. Please join us for gentle accountability, occasional grousing, and weekly revelations about the artistic journey. All are welcome! [more inside]
