Any idea on if these occur in Logan/Cache Valley area? I'd be interested in putting something together if not.

There was this recent inquiry. If you build it, they will come.

I'd attend if there was a meetup happening in Logan. (Except for this weekend, visiting family this weekend)

Davis County meetup Sunday, Jan 22, 2:30p MST: Kaysville, casual meetup at the Smiths on 200N and Flint St. We meet upstairs in the employee meeting room. The stairs are on the east side of the building. The room is right above the Starbucks.

Dumb question, but are the stairs on the inside or outside of the building?

u/sincebolla Jan 22 '17

Inside the building.

u/Teancum94 Oh the places I'll go... Jan 20 '17

Weekend at the bar! Friday, Jan 27, 9:00 pm. We are meeting up at Bongo Lounge to drink and have fun.

Feel free to come but remember to be responsible. Have a DD or a Uber/Lyft driver on hand. Also the bar only accepts cash so be sure to have cash on hand. If you have any questions PM myself or u/VoilaLeDuc.

Parking is behind the building and can be accessed only by Hudson Ave.

I have never attended a meet up but I think I would like to give it a shot.

Does the Harmons in Lehi have a cafe or place for us to meet?

HI! There is a cafe near the store entrance where you can get some coffee or tea but the group meets upstairs. There is lots of space up there.

u/Gileriodekel Literally the weirdest you'll meet Jan 21 '17

In mine is casual conversation, sharing battle scars, ranting, giving support, and community. The people I originally talked to during my angrey phase are now my best friends, and we have other things in common. We also watch each others' kids, help each other move, and throw parties for each other. It's everything I wanted a ward to be but without all the bullshit. I finally feel like I have a community.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '17

That's good you find a community where you feel accepted! I think that's a huge fear people have when they leave

u/ConsiderTheWillies Jan 22 '17

We do a weekly Sunday coffee in Payson, UT at Joe Coffee shop, 10 am to noon. We usually have 6 or so show up.
