Definitely missing some posts from Slack here in IRC but can’t be sure whether it is the bridge or my bouncer.

i've seen the gateway quit and rejoin 20 seconds later, so it's possible there's a bug causing it to crash on certain messages or something
#
aaronpk
aha i think i found it

[jgmac1106] whaddya think about Stone Street for a Friday night meetup before IWC NYC? https://cityroverwalks.com/stone-street-nyc/
#
[schmarty]
it's a closed cobblestone street w/ tables everywhere, nearby restaurants to order from.
#
GWG
Looks interesting
#
[schmarty]
i've been a couple of times. it can get crowded but there's a good deal of turnover.
#
GWG
I am trying to figure out if a cheap Android TV box with a webcam can run Zoom
#
[schmarty]
that sounds challenging!
#
[tantek]
[schmarty] is that near where we went last time and went to the bar/cafe with the giant Connect 4 game?
#
[tantek]
not far from the Wallstreet bull and girl

[schmarty]: If it works... little box with full webcam.. good conferencing box
#
GWG
There is a Zoom Android app
#
[schmarty]
[tantek] that was Clinton Hall. Stone Street is about a 10 minute walk from there! https://goo.gl/maps/dsotgy1cuQe6QZte9
#
[schmarty]
GWG: agreed that would make a great conference streaming box!
#
GWG
So, it's on its way
#
GWG
If not, I can use it for something else for $30
#
aaronpk
$30? I am skeptical it has the power to run zoom then, but if it does, that's fantastic
#
GWG
aaronpk, the Zoom Android app?
#
GWG
If it works, but slowly, I could spring for a better one
#
aaronpk
also remember to get something better for audio, like an external bluetooth table mic like the ones I gave to rose
#
[tantek]
[schmarty] interesting. great list of food options. which is now making me hungry
#
GWG
I will need some people to test a few options with me, playing the other side
#
GWG
I have two 10 Bluetooth speaker microphone combos
#
[jgmac1106]
I like the idea, may make sponsorship difficult unless we chose a hub
#
[schmarty]
tantek: keeping yourself fed is important! :}
#
[tantek]
I like the historical background of Stone Street, topical with our focus on /longevity
#
[jgmac1106]
I have vzm multidirectional mics but they aren't bluetooth but can plug into cameras
#
[schmarty]
jgmac1106: interesting re: sponsors. weather could also be an issue in early October, since it's full-on outdoors.
#
GWG
I like to try budget builds
#
[jgmac1106]
Maybe that board game place Clinton..its October not too cold yet average lowstill probably above 50
#
[jgmac1106]
I like Stone Street a lot..wondering if there is a way to make it work
#
[schmarty]
Clinton Hall has outdoor heaters, if i recall correctly. and it should be possible for us to reserve seats and do a sponsorship. plus it has outdoor activities.
#
[schmarty]
it is primarily a bar though
#
[tantek]
I think context is important, e.g. city, culture
#
[tantek]
In this case, the NYC crowds seem to default to social meetups etc at bar/pub-like venues. Maybe inertia? It is something I've observed consistently when visiting NYC (in contrast to other cities meetups)
