MeFi Events?

May 16, 2001 3:41 PM

While I'm aware that MeFi is not supposed to be our own personal mailing list/craigslist/singles bar/whatever, sometimes there's events that warrant attention by the MeFi community -- get togethers, SXSW coordination, etc. It might be nifty to have a MeFi Events section added to MetaTalk where if you were in some geographical area and wanted to host a gathering, or invite MeFiers to yours, you could post something [even a self-link!] there. What do you all think?

I would

• use the mefi-projects email list (if appropriate)
• start a MetaTalk thread, or
• email Matt and ask him to put a mention in the sideblog

I'm building something like that right now. Should be done in a couple weeks, with luck.

The young republicans will have to take sponge baths and deal with no email like everyone else. I hear they know how to throw a good kegger though...

(This sounds like a COOL party, jessamyn.)

Hmm.. sounds like a worthy weekend roadtrip, if you wouldn't mind weird college students you've never met before showing up on your doorstep (we're clean, I promise!)...

party is open to everyone who can share one bathroom with everyone else. people who snore or screw loudly will be asked to sleep outside. email me if you need more info, I've usurped MeTa quite enough.
