ITT: A disturbing lack of people requesting a Seattle meetup! I have a small group of founders I could likely convince to join. Anybody have any venues they would recommend? I've found Optimism to be pretty great

Optimism lives on meetup type events. +1 for Seattle.

If it’s effective, here’s a When2Meet link [1] that should provide a heat map of when most of us on this thread are available. [1] https://www.when2meet.com/?16905460-DWxNb

Filled in my slots, let's do something with this information.Looks like most folks are available on Saturday. Guessing we'd want to be in Santa Monica?

How about something more central for us east-siders? The new Konbi in Culver City would be great! Insanely delicious, lots of outdoor seating?

> they used whatsapp for coordination so I didn't join How much personal opportunity cost is acceptable before it becomes worth using a platform you don't like...? Remember that even if it your life's sole goal to eliminate the use of that platform worldwide, you will probably achieve more if you take every opportunity possible, including those gatekept by the platform you don't like...

I wouldn't have been able to attend so it was futile to install whatsapp and join the discussion. There is no ideological reason behind it.

Then you wrote your original message in a very odd way, implying it was because of the WhatsApp use that you did not join. Not harping on you, just an FYI in case you're learning the language or would like to increase communication skills.

Anyone in the Bay Area interested in a HN Meetup?

I have been looking for good meetup groups in the Bay Area for a few months and finally got inspired by you to solve my own problem.

I have created a Hacker News Meetup for Bay Area: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-zxkdpjmb/

It looks like enough people are interested in different parts of the Bay Area that we can alternate meetups in SF and in South Bay/Peninsula.

If anyone will like to help out or can donate space to meetup, please email me - my profile here has my contact details.

The problem is someone has to pay. It's not free.

Such a shame this is a forum for paupers.

I can pay. It's pennies. But I don't because I'd rather you pay.

You and everyone else has the same opinion, thus nobody pays.

Anyone in Nashville, TN looking to meet up?

let's go. ;) EDIT: down to hang out with anyone that is super chill (and lives close to Nashville). Maybe we can all pick a place downtown to (passively) make fun of those tourist nerds that keep invading.

Feel free to email me at my username @gmail!
