Loqi [aus.social/@claudinec] .@capjamesg I've been thinking about blogging about coffee (and getting a bit distracted thinking about representing coffee with #microformats/ #gohugo content types). But my actual decision tree is probably less complex than yours.... (https://aus.social/@claudinec/112187405907379141)

[tantek] GWG, [schmarty] WDYT? Fall IWC NYC? Let [benatwork] know! ^
#
GWG Venue is always the issue.
#
GWG We've always tried Manhattan. Somewhere else might be worth exploring.
#
GWG Wondering if one of the educational institutions in the outerboroughs might be willing to offer space.
[benatwork] joined the channel
#
[benatwork] I bet we can find a friendly institution - might be worth even hitting up CUNY’s Manhattan campus
#
[benatwork] I’ll put out some feelers
#
[benatwork] Or NYU
#
GWG [benatwork]: If you know people.
#
GWG I am willing to come down. I haven't been in Manhattan in ages.
#
[benatwork] I do. Some are indieweb faithful already
#
GWG Also, there is more to the East Coast
#
[benatwork] Totally. Philly is obvs (maybe not obvs) closer to me
#
GWG If we can't get NYC, there's Boston, DC area, and further down.
#
[benatwork] I just figure NYC is a good transit hub
#
[benatwork] DC also very good
#
GWG I haven't been in Philadelphia since my 3rd grade class trip.
#
[benatwork] It’s a very cool city
#
GWG [benatwork]: I'm willing to try to get anywhere up and down the coast we can make work
#
[tantek] NYC++
#
Loqi NYC has 1 karma in this channel over the last year (2 in all channels)
#
GWG I just want to make sure we cast a big net and see what we can get.
#
[benatwork] Totally
#
[benatwork] Atlanta would also be smart tbh
#
GWG [benatwork]: I haven't been out of the airport in Atlanta since 1989, when they cancelled my Pan Am connecting flight
#
GWG Or was it TWA?
#
GWG Hmm...long time ago
#
[benatwork] Chapel Hill could also be fun
#
GWG So, let's just say I've never been to Atlanta
#
[benatwork] But I think NYC might also be the easiest for a lot of folks to convene in. Let’s see!
#
[tantek] Lots of cheap Europe flights to NYC too
#
GWG [benatwork]: I agree NYC is a good convergence point, but looking into interest up and down isn't a bad thing.
#
GWG I think the San Diego model worked surprisingly well.
#
[benatwork] Also true of Boston [tantek]
#
[benatwork] And Miami actually
#
GWG I have built in accommodation in the Miami area.
#
GWG So, up for that.
#
GWG As long as I can get to the venue from Miami Central station, i'm fine.
#
[benatwork] I’ve probably only got contacts in Philly and NYC for venues though so I think starting there would be convenient
#
GWG [benatwork]: If you have people interested in hosting us, I think we would be able to get attendees. Although I always felt NYC should have gotten more people in the past.
#
[benatwork] It’s easy to get to but wildly expensive to stay in - Brooklyn or Queens might actually be more convenient in that sense
#
capjamesg I could potentially attend an October meetup.
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
GWG [benatwork]: I find it really easy to stay in Queens
#
[tantek] Easy to stay lots of places in NYC and take transit to anywhere in Manhattan

[tantek] Like wherever we do it I may just stay at the Ace and transit because I like staying at the Ace

Loqi Readers of my regular blog are probably wondering why a lot of my posts are now gated. Meaning, you need to subscribe to the website (ie give me your email) so that you can access them. I totally understand why some people may think “screw this” and scroll away, but I have... (https://elizabethtai.com/2024/03/31/why-a-lot-of-my-content-is-now-gated/)
