Hello, hello, dear fellow smartphone addicts. If you, too, are trying to carve out some smartphone free, digital detox -while still social- niches in your life, where you can enjoy social coffee get togethers where everybody is truly present and free, or at least aspires to be, welcome :)! Why not meet up once in a while, and leave our smartphones at home (or at least switched off in our bag or pocket), to not be distracted whilst enjoying our time together, and meet other people who are also interested in spending more mindful quality time together :). Bring yourself, but not your smartphone, for once, and let's see how it goes :)
I will put my green Nokia dumbphone prominently on display on the table, so that you can recognise our table :)
Due to a plethora of no shows during the last few meetings I would like to ask for a 2 Euro contribution fee per meet up. It's an organisational fee, to recover some of the rather steep fee that is incurred by meetup.com itself when creating a group as an organiser. Preferably via PayPal, and preferably by the day before the meetup. If you don't use PayPal you can pay in cash on the spot on the day of the meetup. Any no show will result in being barred from attending future meetings. I'm shocked at how cavalier people are treating other people's time and energy, by failing to show up without letting the organiser know, when it's such a small gathering like this one. It seems super antisocial to me.
