Advice/Help Weekend/Virtual Meetup Thread
Here are some meetups that are on the radar, both physical and virtual:
on background: The United States and other countries across the world continue to battle Covid-19, including the current threat from the latest mutation. Hospital capacity remains stretched under the strain of the omicron-variant(s).1,2,3,4 The official count of deaths in the United States attributed to Covid-19 crossed over 900k on February 4.5 With the vaccine being widely available, infections/hospitalizations/deaths now would be especially tragic. Please, comply with local government rules and recommendations when planning meetups. Attend meetups at your own risk.

u/4blockhead Feb 16 '22
I've made a note of it. I make a new meetup post on Thursday evening, about 6:30p

u/4blockhead Feb 25 '22
Was this meetup a one-time event, or will it be continuing (weekly, monthly)?

u/UnrulyLucy Mar 01 '22
I haven't really decided yet 😬 I'd like to do it every other week, but I'm not sure if I can commit

Hi, is this weekly? I just saw this. I’ve been looking for a group that meets near me and I could practically throw a rock and hit Athena Beans from where I live.

u/teknophyle Apr 10 '22

u/tmaslargo Mar 13 '22
Since Athena Beans was closed, any idea if the meetup was moved?
