Earlier quoted context omitted.

Geekup (blackpool) generally have a christmas meal. It isn't the same but it's as close as your going to get. Good bunch of guys that go from the NW, most of @wearefarm will be there which are based around the corner from you

Blackpool is 45 minutes away on the bus - thanks for this, I was really dreading sitting alone at christmas!

Give us a follow on twitter @nullUk

There is a preston Geekup to but i'm not involved with it as much as the blackpool one as I work with a few of the people who help organise & run it even though we all work in Chorley.

I'm in Santa Clara, (so I won't be able to come up) but I'd like to help out. Any way I can chip in to the meal?

do you have a place to eat dinner?

Thankfully, I ended up finding a place just less than an hour ago. :)

Awesome! That's really cool, Matt. Cheers to helping everyone get a little higher on Maslow's pyramid today.

On that note... Here's a link to donate to the SF food bank's holiday food drive. https://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5420/shop/custom.jsp?do...

Happy Thanksgiving all!

An especially happy Thanksgiving to anyone here from out of town or away from friends & family!

Dood, go to a hackerspace. lots of people having Thanksgiving at Noisebridge and Hacker Dojo, I am sure.

I know it sucks being alone on a holiday, but you know, yer only there by choice. Lots of friendly people here inviting you over.

If yer still depressed Saturday, come to the MADE (Oakland's videogame museum) and play your heart out. http://www.themade.org

Would take you up if I were down there! All the way up in Vancouver, BC but I'll take a raincheck :).

I wish I had done this for our Thanksgiving.

Hey Matt-

I just shot you an email- I'm staying near Height and Clayton, and this is my first Thanksgiving alone- How far is it to North Beach ?
