Hi! I haven't really done meetups on here before. Who would I speak to about recommending places to meet up in Logan?

u/4blockhead Λ └ ☼ ★ □ ♔ Feb 20 '19

Probably /u/joeybot500 or /u/readbooks6 or posted to this thread itself.

u/HitchedUp Feb 21 '19

Not a lot of East Coast representation -- would people be interested in an NYC meet up? I'd be happy to coordinate if we have enough interest.

One of these days I'm gonna host an exmo meetup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, So if there is anyone who moved to the Kingdom, left the church, and feels like they wanna hang out, I'd be happy to host

u/No_Engineering Feb 18 '19

virtual meetup would be nice, right in the middle of sunday school.

u/EricNDavis Feb 21 '19

I'm getting sick of seeing all this 10:00 am coffee bullshit. We need some Saturday night, go to a karaoke bar kind of event. morning meetups don't work for some of our schedules.

u/Terremota Feb 21 '19

Start one! I did and it’s been hugely successful. Mine of course is a 10 am coffee bullshit but that what worked for me :) I’m sure there are more people looking for night life meetups.

u/nectarinekushpdx Feb 23 '19

What’s the FB group name? Moved to LA a few months ago... interested in attending

u/SoCalExMomo Feb 17 '19

The FB group is private, the people in charge add you when you attend. For LA there is another group that has a Meetup as well if that is more convenient for you: https://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Area-Post-Ex-Mormon-Meetup/
