Omaha mefites?

Are there any besides me? Would you want to meet up?

How does one find these maps? And once found, how does one open them?

Lock in those Long./Lat. coords on your preferences page, then check profile for magic.

I used to live in Omaha, before I was a Mefite. My wife and I are actually going to be there July 28 and 29, and August 1 and 2. A meetup could be fun, if it's a time we don't have other things going on.

I live in Lincoln and could maybe make it up to Omaha for a meetup, depending on when it was.

I am a former Omahan and try to get back there with some frequency. I'll send up a flag next time I do; perhaps we can meet up.

I'm in Omaha and I'd be up for it.

Looking at that Google Earth Map, I'm curiously sad to see that there aren't any MeFites in Blair. I don't know why, but that bums me out.

Wow an Omaha meetup. Who knew? I too am a former Omahan (went to junior high and high school there [Westside]) and have tons of family there.

I'd love that! Count me in!

Howdy! I'd be up for a meetup. Maybe at The Crescent Moon?

I've never actually been there, but that sounds good. Shall we wait until roll truck roll is in town? Maybe some of you former Omahans could schedule a trip here around then as well. Although, a special trip just to meetup with Mefite wankers like me would definitely be going above and beyond ;)

Aside from a general meetup, are any of you into board games? Some friends recently turned my husband and I onto Carcassone, and I'm digging it.
