I think it might be a good idea to have a section devoted to IRL meetups, whether they be weekly, monthly or annually. It could be broken up into sub-areas based on geographic location. That way there would be an easy place to say "hey, this is going on here at whatever time" and people could come.

I saw Rogue's PAX Flickr feed, I do not want to meet any of you CHUDs.

Also, I live in Detroit.

I'd be interested in doing a MN meetup someday. I'd have to watch how much I drink though or Mags might try to take me home. ;)

Not sure if we need an entire subforum dedicated to meetups since they don't happen all that often. Just my $.02.

I'm pretty busy on weekends through early December, but we can certainly try something.

A meetup downtown sometime would be fun I think. Are you, Mags, and I the only MN posters here? I can't really think of any others off the top of my head.

KG!

I haven't seen your posts in forever. It's cool you're here. Do you live in Detroit proper or a burb?

Probably something closer to you, but The Harvest Festival at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. I'll be there Friday. I don't think I could pull off E4All, unless someone drove me, as my car is in the shop.

I think there are others, just no names are coming to me at the moment.

Octoberfest in Thousand Oaks would be cooler. Lots of beer and I hear there's a giant hay maze to get drunk and lost in.

I wonder what the community looks like in the Albany/TriCity area. I can't be the only person reppin' this stretch of the Hudson.

Your cool points are at least two higher now that every time I see you, I see you reppin'.

If you want a maze, Pierce College has an excellent one right now for Halloween.

Octoberfest would be awesome too.

I don't think there have been enough meetup's in the past to warrant an entire section on the forum, but we can definitely sticky a thread in The Lounge for any upcoming meetup's if you'd like.

It would be fun to have more meetups. Too bad they're probably all quite far from me.

Yeah, that seems like it would be a good spot for that sort of information. Just so people might be able to show up at meetings/arcades/comic shops/gaming shops if they're too shy to post.

Too shy to post, but will meet random strangers in person........brain does not compute....... :confused:

I do like the idea of a "meetup thread" being stickied in The Lounge though.

I know a lot of people who lurk forums because they don't feel like they could contribute anything. They might show up a meet ups...

...you have to admit, our kind is a strange lot.

Are there any other folks in Alabama? I know the podcast crew is down near Montgomery, and CaptStu was in B'ham... I think that's about it and we're all still several hours apart.
