Big Clive does a pub meet occasionally. Most licensed venues would be happy to host something like that. Maybe do something like that first and see who turns up.

I used to love the F.I. but the management there are very intent on SELLING that space. For example, that large room with the statue of Ben gets rented out frequently for large private events. I'm not saying they couldn't accommodate her, but they would definitely not be interested if giving here a deal. There are probably a lot of other spaces for a meeting up. PhillyCam for example, right in center city would probably be a great possibility.

you should organize or participate in a repair cafe. It is fun, you meet people around a same acivity and people who bring their things to repair want to learn or simply exchange a nice moment.

My partner and I are in northern NJ, maybe two hours out from you, and would love to attend if you do it! His brother also lives in Philly so we could visit him while we’re there and get two birds with one stone!! Would be a great excuse to make it down for the day! I’d absolutely love to meet some likeminded nerdy geeky recluses (as you put it haha), even if that means just sitting all in a park and chatting for a bit about common interests or sharing ideas. Can’t wait for the update and to see what happens!

The closest I got to Philadelphia was Allen Town back ~1987 and was starting to get concerned seeing the signs that if you pass the sign one more time you will get a ticket, not cool when you really don't know the area. No NYC, St. Louis, Chicago, Houston, or Hell-A. Already did Boston with leaking tunnels under the Atlantic. Never been to a place where people knew me at all. I kind of liked Weatherly PA, back then it was like one of those end of the world films with zero people. Video it. Is that joy? It is intriguing. The unexpected is my world, every moment, never stops, guess it is much better than same ole same ole.

You could do it by private invite, like out of those who responded to the survey, invite by email say 10 to 20 (figuring some wont come). Then if it goes well, you could have another.

Not offended but just so your aware, not everybody that appreciates your broadcast. Is necessarily tech savvy. I wouldn't even go as far as saying I have a high level of competency. I just appreciate some of the things you do. I'm not offended just bring a awareness to the possibility not everybody's a genius. Lol I hate to say such a thing but in my case it could apply. Best of luck on the gathering.

I guess this is why so many KZitemrs keep the meet-ups to conventions. It solves a lot of those problems. Maybe consider limiting the announcement to Patreon? Would be interesting to see how the numbers changed if you run the poll there. Besides, it seems a safe conclusion that, if the viewer can afford Patreon, partaking of a coffee shop (for example) probably won't be a big financial deal.

To me, it would be a hoot because I know nothing about Philadelphia, and would be with a group of people interested in the same things and places I am, but it's a little too far off to be practical for me. I hope this works out and everyone has a good time.

Trying to remember the last time I walked around Philly, has to be more than 20 years ago, I'm sure parking has not gotten easier. Although I recently found out the navy yard area has a lot of places to park for free and is easy to get to, walking from there to Center City wouldn't be that hard, no idea how long it would take to walk that far so timing would be tricky. There's also the train from Wawa to 30th street that goes by my place, haven't done that since the early 90s.

Love to be there but it not possible. Hope that the event goes well & lots of fun. People nowadays are that / You must make it worth my time to show up & be entertained to greatness at your expense./ I see it all the time whether it be the public or family. It's just not worth all the hassles plus the possibility of being sued. Have a great & wonderful rest of your day Fran.

That is the price of being popular. So many people love you and enjoy your thoughts, these ramblings and freedom of thought and honesty is appreciated... The physical presents of human interaction is needed to be expressed in the form of conversation, laughter and perhaps dance. Used to be called flash mob.. Please do a picture video thing. WE love you!

You can't win these days, what people expect and what they experience can be two very different things. We live in a high tech world that can provide instant entertainment, but it is all controlled and lacks the fun factor that can be had at a live open event that relies on the audience making an effort and been part of the show.
