GrokMeetup – #1!!!! TODAY, 2pm, Area 23 Pub in Concord NH

Yup, it’s time for our first Grokster / Readers Meetup.  The schedule is set – we will be holding it at the Area 23 Pub in Concord, NH. I visited it yesterday – not the largest of places but certainly a relaxed area for us all to meet and greet.  Several Groksters have already said they’ll be attending so I’m hoping y’all will join us.  It will be, as you all told me, “lightly agenda’d”. $5 cover charge and we’ll get some light snacks out for you (liquids to imbibe will be on you. Their root beer is to die for but remember, its a pub (obligatory: drink responsibly).  Let us know if you’re planning on attending so I know how much to order.

A goodly number of Groksters are planning on attending. I am really looking forward to it – I’ve met some of you over the years but the rest of you are just a DISQUS handle.  Hopefully, no longer.  We’ve all enjoyed your comments over the years and would like to discuss topics face to face.  Just as important, we’re hoping that those of you who seldom or have never left a comment would come out and let us meet you.  After all, these Meetups are not for us but for YOU.  You folks will be the focus of the evening so that we can Grok – “understand fully and deeply” – you; we want to know better what interests you folks!  What are we covering that you like – but what are we missing as well.  And of course, to sling the hash around as well.

And we’ll continue doing this, as you told us in the polls you did, every month (or, that’s at least the intent). In fact, going forward, our next GrokMeetup will be at the Londonderry Fish & Game Club in Litchfield, NH on September 22.  Meet, greet, yak, and BANG!  More later.
