So, this is chaotic of me, but I’m going to be in Providence, RI — and though I have never been there, I thought, hmmm, surely there are some A+ members there who might want to meet up?

Long story short, my girlfriend has band practice (for a goth band) in Massachusetts so we have to drive all the way over there and then we thought we’d swing by Providence on the way back, stay a couple nights, poke around.

Nico, why not host a meetup in Pittsburgh where you actually live, you might ask? And the answer is: I am absolutely planning to! We’ll probably do something during the 13 Days of A+ but that is the future, and Providence is now. Consider this a test drive.

So, do you live in or near Providence? Should we plan a meetup? I am thinking it needs to be:

a) outside (because I am NOT intent on hosting a super spreader event okay?) so maybe in a park or maybe we can all go for a walk or just sit outside with coffee or play board games on outdoor tables or something
b) somewhere in or near to downtown where I am staying so I personally do not get lost as I am famous for getting lost
c) near accessible public transit stops
d) physically accessible (so not like in a part of a park that is up a bunch of stairs and relatively close to the public transit stops)
e) this should happen before dark / sunset

I also think we should all be masked! And while I love dogs, how do you all feel about inviting dogs? Where should we have this? Should we have this? What if no one actually lives in Providence? What if no one wants to come? What hour of the day on Monday should we have this? What are we going to do?

Let us discuss in the comments and then I’ll be sure to let everyone know what is actually decided in the A+ e-news!

By the way, did you know there is an A+ discord coming up?
