I think my sockpuppet is going to be called non-mefite, and that's how I'll introduce myself at meetups.

That was fun! With every meetup, I am a little less afraid of You People.
Stynxno- I am impressed with how quickly you get your pictures up and posted. I still have some on my camera from the beginning of August.

I liked the part when Maurice walked across the street and nobody knew where he was until someone brought him back, and he was all wet but people touched him anyway.

mathowie, I hope you're taking notes here. That plain old MetaFilter t-shirt isn't going to cut it for much longer!

Thanks for the shoutout StickyCarpet! :)
Is Revival a nice meetup place?
Stynxno's beret is fun. Is mr gaspode, the pathologist, related to gaspode, the neuroscientist?
Never been to Katz's Deli, looks like a classic. Seconding how cool the When Harry Met Sally table is. Never knew it was filmed there.
Cheers to the NYC MeFites!

Looks like you guys had fun. That 'trying to bring Lawrence Welk back from the dead' picture almost made me choke on my lemonade.
I keep meaning to actually go to one of these (though I suppose it would be a bit like being the new girl at school). Last night the rain (and pink eye) kept me away. I really didn't want to be remembered as the one who infected everyone at her very first meetup.

And beyond the crushing on, youarenothere, I have studied and studied your photo to figure out how you tied your scarf... please, just tell me how. Please.

@midwesttransplant:
Hang the scarf around the back of your neck with about 9 inches hanging down on the left side and the excess dangling on the right side. Take the right end and loop it around your neck about 1.5 times so that it hangs down on the right side of your neck. Now take the left end and cross it over the right, bring it underneath, and then through the hole forming a knot. 9 inches should be just the right length to peek through the knot without hanging out.
Note, this will work better with a wide scarf so that the scarf folds on itself, creating volume.
