Anybody else think we need a HN meetup in Austin?

from the self-post dept.

I read HN way too many times daily and I know a few of my friends that do too. I'm positive there are thousands of others here in Austin that do as well and it would be too much fun to have a meetup sometime in the near future!

If anybody else in Austin feels this way on HN, comment / message me and I'd love to get something going!

I am game. What area of town would yall wanna meet at? Downtown is popular, but pushing it closer to campus will likely lead to a bigger crowd.

Is there a way we can get a mailing list or some other kind of group set up to manage this rather than posting repeatedly on this thread? I don't typically do group meetups so I'm not sure what is appropriate.

Everyone shoot me an email at [email protected].

I'll make a new Meet up and an email thread and we can start coordinating from there / inviting more people.

I was actually going to search for this later tonight because I recently moved to Austin. I'd be game for a meetup.

Yes. What should we use to organize it?
