MeFi IRL

Come grab a late lunch and a drink or two and meet your fellow Eugene/Springfield MeFites at PublicHouse in downtown Springfield at 2 pm on Sunday, March 24! (The meetup is definitely happening, but I currently encounter technical errors whenever I try to switch the event category from Proposed to Confirmed.) [more inside]

Union Station, anyone? It's been far too long since I encountered MeFites in the wild, and I'd love to arrange something in the next month or so.

I love the idea of NaNoWriMo but the demanding schedule sinks me every time. If you're looking to write more in November but NaNo isn't in your personal forecast, join me for a leisurely, asynchronous, no-rules writing event and spend a day, week, weekend, or month making progress on your writing project -- any writing project -- at your own pace.

Hi everyone! This spring, I'm giving Julia Cameron's classic creativity program, The Artist's Way, a proper go. It's a 12-week program designed to reconnect to your inner artist, build your confidence as an artist (whether that's writing, music, visual arts, etc.) and be more productive. I plan to start on Sunday, May 8. Join me for gentle accountability, occasional grousing, and (hopefully not infrequent) revelations about the artistic journey. All are welcome! If you are just now finding this, folks have been starting on different weeks, so feel free to join the conversation in the overlap. [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, Who wants to get ironic and have an online Calgary IRL meetup sometime? Location: the internet! Might be good for sanity, who knows. Hope everyone is staying both safe and sane!

Hejsan! Here's the scoop: I am going to the premier of Cyrano tomorrow night, on June 4th, as described in this link: http://kulturhusetstadsteatern.se/parkteatern/Evenemang/2014/Cyrano. Since Meijusa has a baby, I will be there at 5 pm. I will be in the first row of seats at the bottom, closest to the stage, and then we can find a place nearby that's better for the baby. The show starts later, so no one needs to stay unless they want to. I don't have a local number but perhaps you can text at +1 510 6120 if you can't find me. If the weather is bad, I don't expect anyone but me to show. :-) I will bring food for myself and I hope y'all do too. Thanks for your patience. If you can make it, great. If not, I understand.

We had a really excellent meetup last time in Ottawa, it seems a shame not to do it again, very soon. Summer is often tough but mid-July would be great for us. What about for all of you Ottawa/Quebec types? Would love to see you again.
