Since July is frequently a "light" MeetUp month, as lots of people are on vacations or otherwise occupied, we've decided to do an informal "hack & help" MeetUp. Bring a project, or offer to help others.
I propose we meet up about 7:00 at either Foo's Fabulous Frozen Custard at 9421 Mission Rd in Leawood or at KC Bier Company at 310 W 79th St. in Kansas City. Foo's has a comfortable seating area in the back with couches, high tops, and I believe a low table or two. I believe they're open until at least 9:00. KC Bier Co has long tables and bench style seating, which would work as long as we can commandeer a whole table. I'm not sure how busy they are on Thursday evening. They're open until 11:00.
I'm completely open to ideas for location, too. I thought of Tannin Wine Bar downtown. I'm not sure how welcoming they'd be to having a bunch of laptops out there, but there is/was a weekly meeting on Monday and they had it there for years. Snow & Co is an option, though I've personally never liked that place.
