For other folks that want to set up 2017 meet ups, here are the rules:

Rules:
--Pick a place that is safe for all as it is meeting strangers for the first time.
--If booze is involved, no drinking and driving.
--Do any other safety things you can think of.

Guidelines :
--Pick a place that is kid friendly as some forum members have offspring.
--If you pick a place where you will be tying up a waiter/waitress' station for a while with a lot of people, make sure you advertise to tip well.
--There are a million other things, but you get the idea.

The responsibilities of the organizers are to:
--Set a time and place
--Be there on time to get it going
--Whatever recruiting you want to do to get people to come.
--Rule of thumb is the more time you put into it, the more successful it will be.

We will have individual threads for meet ups as they form, but for now post here if you want to volunteer and and ideas you may have.

There will be a Sunday night dinner at Harbor House again this year, but sign ups will not happen for a while yet (until after badge sales at least!).

I'm ready to sign up for the swag swap.  I just like hanging out and seeing everyone.  I brought some new people last year and they thought it was pretty incredible.

A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting”

We tried to organize mid-con meetups the first year we did this, but it never worked, because there is so much going on during the con that everyone has conflicts. However, Alyssa is right when she says that we tend to meet up in lines and in panel rooms during the con.

I joined the group in 2015, but was too late to do the Sunday dinner, so I still don't know people's actual faces.

Is there a little pin or something we can wear to identify other members?

I ordered 2 lanyards. How long does it typically take to get them?
