First Annual Champaign-Urbana (IL) Metafilter Meet-Up?

Checking if there's any interest in a Champbanana meetup?

Open to dates and places; but I was thinking Blind Pig on a weeknight?

Yes!

Definitely. Friday night is best for me, but I might be able to do earlier in the week depending on how much work I get done.

Oh my, yes

Blind Pig on a Friday night might not be a great combination.
posted by Dmenet at 11:06 AM on February 27, 2010

Good point. How about Wednesday or Thursday then?

I can make room for any Wednesday or Thursday - March 11th might be bad though.

I'm down for this.

I'm so in! Thursdays are best for me and Blind Pig probably will still be reasonable. How about March 18th?

March 18th works for me. Like 7 or 8ish? I have an early morning on Friday.

Ok! I'm gonna move this to the meetup page...
posted by stratastar at 7:45 PM on February 28, 2010

And by move, I just meant add it to the calendar.

Hi! Absolutely! I can be around around 8 or so.

March 18th around 7 or 8 definitely works for me!

I'm down.

Replying very late to say that I can't be at the meetup on the 18th (I'll be out of town), but I would definitely be interested in any future Champaign meetups!

I'm the chap in the red shirt, if anyone's paying attention

Hey hey I had a lot of fun and we should meet up again sometime when you're around, rebel_rebel! Also, I can see the use of printing shout-outs so we can identify mefites after the fact.

Hi, Dmenet! Computerless for a couple of days. I'm sorry! Correction applied!

Kronos, that's not me in the third meetup picture; sadly, I couldn't make it. Can't wait for the next one, though!

Oops! Took the question off of the note in the photo.
