I was hoping to do another meetup after the holidays. Location closer to N. VA I don't think is a problem. I would think a location central to all that express interest makes sense. Seems to me the biggest issue is a venue. I hear a lot of I don't like this kind of place or don't want to drink or spend money. I get all that but I think just getting together is what is important.
I'll be honest. I didn't like the idea of meeting at a bar/restaurant when we met in October. But actually it was great. We sat a table for 4 hours, place was busy around us and no one cared how long we sat there or bothered us. I guess in bars they are used to people hanging out for a long time. I think we would stand out more sitting in a Panera for 4 hours but that is just my opinion. I hear money the angle too. If you are with two or more people and they are ordering stuff and eating, no one is going to care if you are drinking water and ordering nothing. You'll probably get offered some off everyone's apps. Plus if the meetup is going to go on for awhile, people will be hungry or thirsty and will want to eat something. Drinking. For the most part I would think people would have a drink or two socially because that is what they like or do. Doesn't mean you have to drink. I prefer iced tea. It's a Joe met up not a Frat party. So I don't imagine people will be getting drunk. They got to drive home. Somebody previously mentioned meeting in the back of a comic book shop. Sounds great to me but I don't have any friends with a cool venue like that who would allow us to meet up. But if someone does please suggest it. Again, no meetup will meet everyone's ideals, but the important part is meeting up. IMHO. I'm game for another meetup. |
