Bay Area iNat Happy Hour

Ever since I joined the iNat team, I've wanted to go to an iNat happy hour.
Since we don't have one, I thought I'd organize it!

A group of us are getting together this Thursday (October 29th) at the Little Shamrock in the Sunset District of San Francisco, about 5-7. They have good cheap beer, free popcorn, darts and board games. There's plenty of food in the neighborhood.

A good chunk of the iNat development team has said they'll be there, including @kueda, @loarie, @joelle, and @tiwane. Sounds like some of our CAS colleagues @kestrel and @rebeccafay might stop by, too!

Thanks so much for the invite! I'll be leading 3rd graders around Sonoma Mt. that afternoon, so hope to catch you all at another gathering. Have fun!

Thanks for the invite, but can't make it up from my now-distant digs in the South Bay! - Jennifer

I have a couch/living room in the Castro here for any distant traveller..

Lähettänyt robberfly yli 8 vuotta sitten

That would be fun! I'll try to make it and bring @tomv

Thanks for the invite but I cannot make it .

starts walking

WISH I could be there! Make sure to observe ANY/ALL organisms around the pub!

This is a terrific idea! Have one in the East Bay and I'll be there with bells on.

Lähettänyt naturalisttrent yli 8 vuotta sitten

Sorry I can't make it, I'm enjoying nature in the Adirondacks, then doing a trade show in NYC.

Lähettänyt dandugan yli 8 vuotta sitten

I'm going to try to make it -- leaving 16th and mission at 6, so probably there for just the tail end at 6:30 or so. Also: the new home page looks great! (Hope it's not 2 months old already and I missed it...)

Lähettänyt rademacherdan yli 8 vuotta sitten

Thanks for the invite, sounds like a good idea. I was in Klamath Falls so I couldn't make it! Maybe next time.

Thanks for organizing @alexshepard! We missed you.
It was so great to see everyone. This community makes me so happy.
Thanks for all you do.

Lähettänyt rebeccafay yli 8 vuotta sitten

So sorry to miss this! What a picture for the archives! It is a great community!

Next month: East Bay. Later: South Bay? North Bay? Also next month: tucking in t-shirt (facepalm)

Lähettänyt kueda yli 8 vuotta sitten

everyone cleans up pretty nicely ~

Lähettänyt metsa yli 8 vuotta sitten

Unfortunately I saw this too late! Looks like it was fun.

Lähettänyt leslie_flint yli 8 vuotta sitten

I didn't know you brought on a new person( @tiwayne )- awesome! (not sure why the @ didn't work)... anyway looks awesome, obviously I was 3000 miles too far east to attend, but maybe one day.

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

@charlie, maybe we could do one in CT over xmas? Or go on a hike? There actually are more people using iNat in CT these days...

Lähettänyt kueda yli 8 vuotta sitten

I'd definitely be up for it. We will be down there this Xmas for sure, I'm not sure exactly how long but for several days at least.

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

Cool! Yo @carrieseltzer @treegrow @calopteryx et al. Anybody up for a December DC Happy Hour?

Lähettänyt muir yli 8 vuotta sitten

Yes, @muir! Count me in!

Lähettänyt carrieseltzer yli 8 vuotta sitten

I'm leaving for X-mas vacation in mid-December. Should be able to make it if it's before December 13. @jhammock

Lähettänyt treegrow yli 8 vuotta sitten

How about http://www.scienceclubdc.com? Seems appropriate and I want to scout it as a location for DC bioblitz stuff :-) Also open to more convenient suggestions! If someone starts a new journal thread for DC please tag me in it so I don't miss it.

Lähettänyt carrieseltzer yli 8 vuotta sitten

science club indie bar? I guess there are some things you just don't get to have in a town of 8000 people :) We got our taproom and our dive bar and that's that.

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

@muir count me in anytime after Dec. 7 :) Science Club sounds good.

Lähettänyt jhammock yli 8 vuotta sitten

Dig those iNat shirts! We're starting to build an iNat community up in the Portland Metro area, and we have plenty of pubs... may have to try to emulate this in Ptown soon.

Lähettänyt wisel yli 8 vuotta sitten

Speaking of t-shirts, can you put some on CafePress or something? Would love to have one! @joelle @loarie @alexshepard @kueda @tiwane

Lähettänyt carrieseltzer yli 8 vuotta sitten

Awesome. @carrieseltzer , I sent an email to the Science Club -- maybe they can prepare special nature-orientated cocktails for us. Hey @jhammock does that mean a special guest @loarie 12/4 HH wouldn't work for you? Hopefully we can pin down a date over email.

Join us @charlie ! I'll contribute $10 towards your bus fare and you can iNat the trees traveling south along the highway system....

Lähettänyt muir yli 8 vuotta sitten

YES, please more t-shirts. These suckers would go like hot cakes in Texas. I have worn mine several times, and lots of people tell me that they want one/will kill me for mine. :)

My two cents -- it would be cool to have the tagline on the front as well:

Lähettänyt sambiology yli 8 vuotta sitten

The T shirts are awesome

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

@wisel please keep me in the loop on any iNat community stuff happening in PDX or in the pacific northwest! Most of my family lives in Seattle, so I'm up there three of four times a year. I'd love to help organize or go to a bioblitz in Portland or Seattle.

Lähettänyt alexshepard yli 8 vuotta sitten

@muir a bus or train tour with tons of inaturalist sightings would be awesome. Imagine a train with wifi and a window seat. Probably lots of invasives along the train line.

Will definitely let you all know next time I am in the DC area... probably limited travel for us this winter due to us expecting a baby :) But later on, I'm sure I will be down that way some time again, I have family there too. I visited DC in ~2005 but it was pre-inaturalist so I have very limited records. I saw my first firefly somewhere around there.

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

@charlie, first firefly? Where are you from? Also, congrats on the expected baby! My toddler would love to meet her/him whenever you make it to DC :-)

Lähettänyt carrieseltzer yli 8 vuotta sitten

Thanks! Definitely! @carrieseltzer ...I grew up in southern California. Apparently there are some VERY rare fireflies there as I just learned recently but I've never seen one in CA... in 2005 i was in the DC area and saw a late firefly (august) and it was the first I'd ever seen, at ~25 years old. Now that we live in Vermont we get a lot of them!
Woo hoo for future naturalists!

Lähettänyt charlie yli 8 vuotta sitten

Hey I want a tee shirt! I also would love to see how many iNatters there are in NYC, or in Manhattan maybe, and try to get them together before the frosts start.

Lähettänyt susanhewitt yli 8 vuotta sitten

And I very much agree with what Sam said about the tee shirts:
