So we had a meet-up the other week and it was lovely. There were just short of a dozen of us. We talked, played Cards Against Humanity, then wrote Nerdfighter notes and left them in every single copy of every John Green book in the Jefferson Point Barnes & Noble.
There was discussion about maybe having a monthly thing for the Fort Wayne area, especially with how much fun we had playing Cards Against. Would anyone be interested in that? I'd love to play more awesome games (I just bought this one called Fluxx that I'm DYING to play!) with awesome people. Thoughts?

I dont live in Fort Wayne, but an hour away from it. None the less, I would LOVE to make the trip down to finally meet some more Nerdfighters! Not sure if Id be able to make it every month, with work and all, but I would try to be at most. I think this is a brilliant idea!

No worries about that! I totally understand, what with gas being crazy expensive and stuff. I'm not really sure I'd be able to make all of them either! I'm thinking end of the monthish though for these. That way people can kinda sorta plan for them. Yes?

I'm really excited about this, I know I seemed pretty quiet and stand-offish last time, but I'm pretty shy in person.
I know with school starting back up in a couple weeks things get busy, but I would even be up for once a week or once every two weeks meet up to either play a game, or just a study session where we can be working on homework, but still together to keep each other accountable. I think if we got a set day in place now, we could all try and work it in our schedule and then show up if we have the time that week. What do you guys think?

Jessica, I feel you about the shyness. I become a big awkward turtle around new people. Weekly or biweekly is such a tease for me omw. I wish I didnt live in the middle of corn fields.. I think a Friday or Saturday would be best, cause theres NO WAY I could make it down on a school night.. Plus Friday/Saturday are usually when people have free time, correct?

I don't know what it is but I clam up around new people. And I feel you with the corn fields. I come from a very, very small town in the middle of corn fields. We're talking nine streets here small. Fridays and Saturdays are actually the worst time for me because of work. But if that works for everyone else that doesn't sound half bad (Not to mention if anyone else is in the IPFW area nothing says we can't meet up in Helmke during the week day to work on papers)

About that IPFW thing Jessica... there should totally be an IPFW gang with perhaps some expansion into IVY and USF waters... because yes.
But I was thinking that the monthly would be for games and unwinding, and then if we wanted to do an IPFW (or other areas) goup with could be more what you were thinking.

I love the monthly idea! And the little university-specific gangs (I go to IPFW too!). (:
I was wondering if maybe we should try to have some of the northern meet-ups in north-west every once in a while too? I know Fort Wayne is a little far of a drive for some people in the north-west of Indiana, since it's pretty close to being on the edge. Maybe we could mix it up every once in a while so that people from the north-west wouldn't have to drive so far. If anyone is from that end (I'm from the Fort Wayne-area myself), they could give us ideas of where to meet up.
Just a thought.

Oh yeah, we're just taking about the Fort Wayne(ish) area right now. The Northern Meet-Ups will totally move around!

I'm good with the monthly meetups. Might have a mini-nerdfighter with me sometimes, but would plan accordingly if we're going to play more grown-uppish games.

I think a monthly meeting in Fort Wayne would be fantastic. Fort Wayne isn't too far for me which is nice but it's kind of far away for the western people. Maybe something in South Bend would be closer for people? It's a large city and pretty much right in the middle of Northern Indiana if we ever look for a different place to hold a meeting for more people.

I'd love to do this once a month! Let's make this happen!
