MeFi IRL

We will be holding an online conversational salon on Monday, May 18, 2020 at 7PM. If you've never been to a salon before, it will be similar to this. If you have been to a salon before — or if you used to attend mine —and would like to join us, welcome! We will be talking about solitude and leadership, using this essay as a starting point. For more information and meeting particulars, email me at newsalonnyc@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you there! ~VB

This time out, we'll be chatting about whether you are your friend's friend, what happens when we feel lonely, and the benefits of solitude. Please join us for good conversation and the last of the late-summer Margaritas at the next Salon in Brooklyn, on Thursday, August 25th, 2016 at 7:30 PM. [more inside]

Hey Philadelphia mefites, I'm very interested in the ongoing wikileaks drama, and wanted to talk about it in person with other smart, thoughtful people. And metafilter has proven itself in this thread and others as full of such people. Is anyone interested in meeting up at a bar tonight and sharing thoughts and conversation about this topic? I know it's short notice, but I hope some of you can make it! [more inside]
