It was nice to meet everyone! Sorry I had to leave so quickly; it would have been nice to chat a little more.
Re: NYC Meetup 10/18/14
Hey disparatum, glad you had a chance to make at least part of it. Glad you could come.
Re: NYC Meetup 10/18/14
Yeah, definitely. Let us know if you make it out to the NYC area again in the future.
Re: NYC Meetup 10/18/14
I'm glad I was able to make it, I had fun. I can host the next meetup at my house and maybe we could have a meal or something. I was also thinking we could arrange these meetups around learning how to learn a new skill or something. Does anyone do anything particularly well that they would like to teach or know where we could have a group learn how to do something? I am personally interested in hunting and I have NO idea how to get started. Also, I have a ton of books and I'm starting to purge to get rid of some stuff, if any of you are interested in meeting up for a book/misc. stuff swap.
See y'all later!

I was very impressed that everyone who said they were coming was able to make it! Unusual for a meetup.
Re: NYC Meetup 10/18/14
I had a good time as well. I'd say, if we do these more frequently, that some kind of 'theme' would make sense. Not to keep everything 100% focused on the theme, but it provides a structure for conversation.
I'd personally be interested in home-grown food without yards, brewing/probiotics (I've brewed kombucha and can talk about that, it's simple), clothing repair/reuse, cheap travel, or publishing books - to name a few topics that have come up on the forums.

Good idea, m741! I learned how to make kombucha last year and it has saved me lots of money. Although, I think my scoby is now dead so I'll have to start over.
Let's meet up one more time before the year ends, if everyone is up for it...maybe in December? Maybe we could do a swap/giftmaking event for the holidays. While I celebrate Christmas, I don't buy gifts so my friends and family know to expect something handmade If anyone has anything to teach/contribute, that would be a cool event.
