MeFi IRL

I'll be in Salt Lake City, Utah for PyCon US this month. I'll be available parts of Wednesday, April 19th-Monday, April 24th, and would enjoy meeting other MeFites who live in SLC or who are visiting for the convention! An outdoor beverage near the Salt Palace would be ideal. Tentative suggestion: 5pm Saturday, April 22nd. [more inside]

I will be in Prague next week. Are there any MeFites in or near Prague who want to get together for a wholesome walk, say? [more inside]

I'd love to meet up w/ the MeFi community members in DC before summer ends. Thinking that a picnic with Caribbean food would be a great way to end summer and kick-off the school year. This would have to be a collaborative effort. Plans are tentative and based on the number of responses. /Food: Avenues of the Caribbean Catering: www.avenuesofthecaribbean.com /Location: National Mall /Date & Time: Tentative

Many years ago I joined a group of MeFites to walk the length of Broadway in Manhattan. Wouldn't it be fun to do that again? I was thinking November 6 (Saturday) assuming the weather cooperates. [more inside]

Hi, I'm new here (to Philly, I've been on Metafilter for ages) and I don't know anyone. Any locals want to meet up, maybe at a place with good outdoor seating? Before the weather gets too cold? Weekends are generally good for me. [more inside]

I was rereading this thread this evening and remembered how valuable this community is and thought it might be time to propose a PDX meetup. Tell me about a time MeFites reached out and helped you. [more inside]

I will be in San Juan from March 15-20. It will be my first time in PR. Are there any Puerto Rican mefites who would be up for a covid-sensible get-together of some kind?

Proposed date/time: Oct. 3, 2020, 10 AM Mountain Time. Those who made it to the Virtual NM+ Meetup #2 didn't discuss a next time or date, so I'm tossing out something to start the discussion. [more inside]

Hey everyone, Reviving this thread as it kind of stalled out last month or so. Just wondering who might be interested in an IRL meetup, while it's still warm enough to do an outdoor/backyard/patio type thing. I'd be very happy to host a backyard BBQ at my place, but now that patios are open again, I'm open to suggestions as well.

Hi everyone, Just wondering who would be interested in a meetup sometime before the season turns. We could have a (safe*) BBQ at my place or do an online meetup, I'm up for whatever. *If we do decided to go full IRL, we can figure out some agreed-upon safety measures in the thread.

Hey, guys. Struck me this morning that it's a good idea for MeFites in town to know where everyone is, what potential needs folks have, and how to help if things get much worse. I'm setting this one as a proposed meetup in Austin in the hopes of getting emails out to folks in town, but right now I have no intention of meeting in-person--just organizing folks in town so that we can set up a network we can use to help one another and familiarize ourselves with anyone who's local on the site. Anyway, here's a space. Thoughts?

Role call! Will any Mefites be attending the True/False Film Festival in Columbia, MO next week? There are tons of great films this year (as there are every year), but perhaps we can find a time to check in!

[COVID-19 delay/ reset] Let's do brunch! Parties present at the last meetup agreed* that we should return to The Range in Bernalillo, 10 AM on Saturday, March 21. Let's wait a bit and see how New Mexico fares for the next few weeks. Maybe try again in May? [more inside]

Attention New Orleans-area Mefites! The Empress' 50th Birthday falls on Mardi Gras this year, and I am making an Imperial Tour to your city. Let me know if you'd like to meet (informally or separately, perhaps). [more inside]
