This is all new to me so I am excited to hear any suggestions. I look forward to meeting everyone and thanks for coming!

Collaboration with other Meetup groups! Meet on the 3rd floor! We are going to be mixing things up tonight!

We anticipate meeting up at the **second floor** where there is a full bar and it is quieter. We have a table reserved there for us all! It’s a chill event so stay for an hour or the whole time. Have a drink and unwind, go play darts with some new friends, try bowling at their indoor lanes - always something new and interesting to do. 🎳👾🎤🎯
