I reckon it's bout time for a reddit meetup. Let's round up everyone to share Mardi Gras stories amongst other things.

EDIT: REDDIT MEETUP confirmed for March 25th @ 2 p.m. It'll be somewhere on the Bayou St. John.

edit 2: So the meetup will be on the green pastures by Orleans & N. Jefferson Davis pkwy @ 2 p.m. Bring snacks, booze, kayaks and your nice friends. Let's have fun.

The American Can building is a stone throw away if you need a reference point.

Y'all were good fun. Thanks for organizing this, yomiu2! Also, that folding picnic table is one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.

Maybe an edit can be made to the original post when everything is solidified? This would make me more happy and less confused.

I'd be in. I keep meaning to come out for a meetup but end up getting sidetracked by work. I'll make a concentrated effort for some time chillin' by Bayou St. John

Yeah, definitely want to make it to a meet up.

Sunday afternoon would probably work really nicely.

I don't know when my next day off will be, but I'm itching to go to the zoo soon and think it'd be awesome to hang out with some other redditors.

My wife and I would be down for sure. We'd love to meet some New Orleans redditors. Anyone from up here on the north shore by any chance?

is there a place nearby to rent a kayak? Not certain yet as my work schedule is only updated to Saturday but if I have Sunday off I'm definitely in

How many people are kayaking? Me and my lady don't wanna show up if we're gonna just be sitting around while everyone is in the water

[–]yomiu2Mid-City[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not kayaking and i don't think loads of people are going to be either.

Just look for the pretty people having a fun time. I'll try and get there early and set up some stuff. I might just hoist a reddit t-shirt. I reckon it won't be hard to find us though.

[–]yomiu2Mid-City[S] 0 points1 point ago

Loading up the boats now. Me and the lady will be out there in a couple of orange single kayaks.

OF COURSE I WOULD COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT THIS UNTIL I HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING THERE. Jeez. I was really looking forward to having something to do, too.
