Star Trek Meetup!
(Cross-posted from kcmo_gqmf .)
Here's the idea: I'd like to have at least one meetup before Thanksgiving. I want it to be relaxed, low-key, simple, and fun. I want to make sure that as many people as possible can attend, and that the venue will be conducive to everyone. We've got folks in Lawrence, folks in Kansas City, and even someone out in Topeka. I think I'd like to do this meetup in Kansas City, and the next one in Lawrence.
Here's the plan: Either this Saturday (the 14th) OR next Saturday (the 21st), we'll get together for food, drinks, movie/episode watching, and general geekery.
We'd start at McCoy's in Westport around 2:00 PM. Food, drinks, breaking the ice, general silliness. For anyone who hasn't been there, McCoy's is a restaurant and brewery. They have a fantastic selection of their own beers, and their food is just damned good. You DO NOT have to be 21+ to go in - it's a restaurant, not a bar. Even though it's a Saturday, 2:00 PM shouldn't be too crowded, and we'll probably be able to geek out to our hearts' content without distracting the mundane folks.
After food and beer and socializing, I personally invite everyone to join me at my house, which is less than two miles from McCoy's, and within very easy access of I-35 and other major roads. (I'm near KU Med.) The party continues until folks get tired and need to leave.
