First of all, our first meetup was December 2022 so it's our two year anniversary! :tada:

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 21:36):

Unfortunately, December is pretty busy for me. We have family visiting, and then we're flying for Christmas. And I don't think we should try to meet between Christmas and New Years. Lots of people will be away, I imagine.

Philip Durbin (Nov 24 2024 at 21:37):

What if we meet on Sunday, Dec 8th at 5pm? Please give a :thumbs_up: if that might work for you. I realize it's only two weeks away!

Dan (Dec 02 2024 at 23:14):

Coming up soon. If you want this date we should announce it soon yeah? Assuming it's not too late.

Philip Durbin (Dec 03 2024 at 00:51):

Hmm, I see three :thumbs_up: so let's go for it! I just updated the website.

Philip Durbin (Dec 06 2024 at 13:31):

We are on for Sunday at 5pm at Hamilton! Please give a :thumbs_up: if you think you'll come so we know how big of a table to get. See you then! Please spread the word! It's our two year anniversary! :mind_blown: https://bostonopen.dev

Also, I've mentioned to a couple of you that Massachusetts Independent
Comics Expo (MICE) is happening on Saturday and Sunday, not super far from where we meet. It's near the BU Bridge at BU's Fuller Building. I've never been to MICE, but it's free and I might check it out. It ends at 5 on Sunday just as we are starting. :grinning: https://www.micexpo.org

Dan (Dec 06 2024 at 22:12):

Just looking at MICE. FYIs still have a COVID policy, though they'll have masks etc on hand.

Pete (Dec 08 2024 at 16:34):

I'm probably going to miss this one

Dan (Dec 08 2024 at 16:38):

@Philip Durbin Add 3 people from Signal who AFAIK have not given thumbs up to you here.

Philip Durbin (Dec 08 2024 at 17:00):

Can do. Thanks.

Philip Durbin (Dec 08 2024 at 17:02):

As for MICE, I'm planning on going to this talk at 3pm: https://mice2024.sched.com/event/1rudK/tillie-walden-comics-and-queerness-in-vermont-and-beyond?iframe=no

But I'll be at Hamilton by 5pm. See everyone soon!

Same :crying_cat:

Dan (Dec 08 2024 at 18:07):

Just leaving Dover. Not sure when I'll be at MICE. I'm not targeting any particular thing about it, just want to check it out casually.

Dan (Dec 08 2024 at 18:10):

Are we allowed to park in that BU lot?

Philip Durbin (Dec 08 2024 at 18:57):

I'm not sure, sorry.

I won’t be able to make it today. TBH, I might never be able to make a Sunday meetup since Sundays are absolutely sacred for my daughter and I.
Have fun, everyone!

Our server needed help with her R homework

(Phil post your good photo[s] and I'll put it on Mastodon)

Tanmay Sharma (Dec 09 2024 at 03:25):
