Happy BC Day to everyone in British Columbia.
Since I do have a bunch of Vancouver folks who mutually follow, would anyone be up for one day meeting up and hanging out to talk about the Fediverse, Free Culture, Free Software, etc?
Where is a place people generally agree on- food-wise?
Nina Paley used to do something like this in a thai restaurant near her apartment.
I live downtown, and there are lots of restaurants around here.
@emacsen Yaletown Brewpub and Brix & Mortar were always pretty popular for work events and have not terrible food. I don't know if the sound levels would be conducive to talking about these subjects though, I don't remember.
Something like that? Both Thai places I used to go to in Yaletown have closed it seems.
It doesn't have to be thai, but I don't love the idea of a loud place. I have a lot of sensory issues and loud places are physically exhausting to me.
Yaletown is probably a good call. It's central and walkable.
The other issue is of course price considerations.
@emacsen i think Brix & Mortar is a bit quieter than Yaletown Brewpub, but it's been too long since I've been there so I could be wrong.
Memphis Blues on Robson? Barbeque. I think that's not too loud. But they do play music. It's also not very big. I don't think it's particularly expensive for what you get, but I generally don't pay too much attention to that.
I just don't want to price anyone out. Like if I said "Oh let's meet at The Keg", that would be bad. ;)
I also deeply miss both Stormcrow Taverns.
Let's give it a think and schedule for September!
@emacsen happy BC day!
And yes I could be convinced to do that.
