I have to agree, it's nice that Phoenix has a pretty active node community... though it feels like everyone is too busy working to hit a lot of the meetings... I'd love to catch a coffee and code meetup, but I work too far away, and am in the office for morning standups etc, around that time.

Just the same, always get ideas from the Phoenix/AZ node user group meetings... it's also nice to see when someone demos an idea you had... such as routing redux at the server via websockets.

You should try and make it out at least once. I loved it when I used to live there and definitely regret not going more since moving.
