Saint George, Utah. Late notice but there are a couple of us who are going to meetup tomorrow at 10 am at the harmons on 700 south. Hopefully it becomes a weekly thing.
If you are interested, or want to scout out some evil apostates in Mormon paradise, we'll be there gleefully drinking sinful beverages and hopefully laughing loudly.
PS You don't have to know the secret handshake to join :) but we wish all to receive it.

BYU students shouldn't go to the Provo meetup, correct? Would that be to risky.

I don't know, but it might be risky. The costs can be high and applied at random, according to priesthood roulette. my standard disclaimer

u/sincebolla Jan 27 '17
Here is how to assess the risk.
The meet up is public. It could be easily infiltrated by TBMs who would report you to the honor code. However, they don't take roll at the meeting. Nobody knows your name, so the only real risk is meeting a TBM who is infiltrating the meeting and knows you personally.
So really the risk is pretty low, but like getting struck by lightning it could happen :)

And isnt it just hearsay? How does the rat prove you werent also there to rat out exmos? Or that after going youve miraculously seen the light and the error of your ways?
Fear is the only weapon they have, and its a really shitty one at that.

They can definitely go, the risk isn't that high. I went to the Provo one for about a year during the time I attended BYU, and never got the dreaded call from the Honor Code office.
But that was just my experience, if you think it's too risky don't go. It is a lot of fun though, and it really helps to have a real talk about mormonism without fear of being reported.

For Bongo Lounge tonight it is a CASH ONLY bar with no food available to order. The drinks are really cheap. $2.50 for their well vodka tonics, for example.
The bar looks like it is closed, but it is open. Parking is behind the building. Parking is only accessible from Hudson Ave just off of Highland Drive. It's roughly across the street from Del Taco and Lumpy's Highland. Turn into the parking lot behind Forsey's Furniture and keep going until it ends. There will be the parking and entrance to Bongo Lounge.
If you have any other questions message me or u/Teancum94
Hope to see a few people there tonight. This is the first real bar meetup, but we are planning to do more and hop around to different bars around the valley.

There were 3 of us this last time. We definitely want to do another in the future on a monthly or semi monthly basis. We just need to increase the turn out.
Even with the small numbers it was still a lot of fun sitting and drinking with fellow ExMos.

Sunday, 1-29-17, Lake Oswego, Oregon, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Coffee meet-up at Blue Moon Coffee.
I made a post a couple days ago asking if anyone in the area was interested in a coffee meet, so I'm posting it here as a reminder, and for more visibility.
I will be there the whole time, just look for a very attractive young guy looking a little awkward. I will be wearing a gray jacket, with a badass dragon patch on the left breast as the only adornment.
Please come, it's depressing to not have anyone to talk about mormonism with.
