Three weeks and one day until the first meet, and we’re up to twenty in the Meetup group, and eight have RSVPd for the first meeting. The room has a capacity of 25, so that’s working out well.
Drink all the Booze, Hack all the Things!
Well, that’s interesting. Reading the fine print of the library agreement. The library allows alcohol in its meeting rooms. HOWEVER, and it’s a big however, even if it’s BYOB, it’s only allowed with a state permit. So from my brief research, a $55 “Banquet” license would allow us to either BYOB at the meetings (YES, it would feel gloriously naughty to drink beer in the LIBRARY) or to actually sell beer & wine. I’d be curious if anyone in this group thinks that’d be worth pursuing.
Tell you what… Get your company to sponsor the meetup for $150 and I’ll get the license and bring quality beers for everyone who’s legal.
