No time like the present...

Before we plan the next event, I'd like to get input about where we go from here. I think its fair that Orleans be the next location because they were third. But, in a more general sense, we should figure out whether we should expand the event to more people and have a greater pool of locations.

I sort of feel that there are maybe only 2 or 3 bars in Davis Square itself that would be a suitable location for us. If we keep hitting the same bars again and again, we might be imposing on the generosity of bar owners. Alternatively, we can expand the pool of bars or have the event less frequently. Also, I'd like your input about expanding the event to people from b0st0n.

Edit: I'll count the results as "official" at noon on Friday.

Once the weather turns a bit nicer, how about an outdoor meetup in some casual non-bar location, like the playground/field on Holland Street by the parking office?

I mean, I heart you all, davis_square, really I do. But I don't love you enough to spend $50 on a babysitter so I can watch you get drunk.
Well, unless maybe the Tom Champion drunk-dialing thing came to fruition. That might be worth at least a few bucks.

Anyway, given that I have kids and don't drink, I can't foresee myself coming to any of the meetups in the near future if they continue to take place at 7pm on weeknights, particularly at bars. But would love to meet some of y'all F2F at some point. So this is my feeble plea for an alternate time and location, at least once in a while, if the meetup thing becomes a regular event.

I'm sure we can do something like that in addition (not in place of) the monthly events.
