message: This turned out to be (by a hair) the largest Wikipedia meetup in the US to date; and better yet, 60% of the Wikimedia Board showed up, which counts double.  Read the full report by Raul654.
A meetup was held on the afternoon of Sunday 12 December 2004, 1:30 pm.   
=== Proposed venue===
*We will be meeting at the Moonstruck Diner, 400 W. 23rd Street, on the corner of 9th Ave. We will be in the inner room. I imagine that we will be there until 4:00 or 5:00. Come one, come all.
* Restaurant phone number: (2 1 2) 924-3709
Note that this restaurant is part of a chain with several locations.  The one on 23rd street has the number indicated above. Morris 02:37, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

message: It seems that the November event actually occurred.  Would someone who participated give us a summary of what transpired? JamesMLane 22:38, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Report on November meetup?

message: On the project page, Omegatron asked, "Also, what is the relationship between this meetup and this meetup?"  It seems that some people came together through the Meetup.com website and set up a meeting for the evening of Monday, December 13.   As far as I can tell, the relationship is that there was none, i.e., the two sets of planners were each ignorant of the other's work.  (It was Omegatron's post here that told me about the Meetup.com group; I've posted a message there about the December 12 meetup.) JamesMLane 14:36, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Mostly correct. The one via meetup.com is a regularly scheduled event for locals. There are similar meetups happening all across the world at the same time on the same day.... that's how meetup.com works. The meeting being organized here is due to Jimbo, Angela and Anthere happening to be in town. I knew of both. - UtherSRG 14:54, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
