I will update with where, when to meet and how to find me in June. I’ll post what I’m wearing, and where I am all the time. We will find you. (Please note I’m not going to look for you unless you have a perfectly clear portrait photo on your meetup profile) If you’re looking for the group, keep checking the main chat for this event (see below, scroll down right now….) and I’ll be constantly posting stuff for anyone that hasn’t found me yet.

RSVP here. Cancel if you’re not coming. Dress for the weather. Maybe a lawnchair.

Good times!
