Hey folks. Hopefully we’ve all rested up and had a fun time yesterday. I wanna take this chance to get your thoughts on the event.

What did you like, what didn’t you like, what do you wish there was more or less of, or whatever is on your mind really.

Again thank you so much to people who helped set up before and clean up after along with everyone who brought stuff and our photographers.

Yo guys welcome booth guy here, pleased to say that it was nice seeing some familiar and new faces! Y'all are a great bunch, thanks to everyone who came out with supplies, or stuff we needed, or just came out in general, I know it can be nerve-wracking to go to an internet meetup but from what I gathered asking a few people, the general consensus was that they had fun.

Special thanks to the photographers for documenting the event!

Hope to see more of you guys soon 👍🏾

Great day yesterday, no hangover today, so awesome.

Thanks /u/troostorybro for the motivation to keep posting recaps. Will post a better one tomorrow, really busy today doing everything I was supposed to do yesterday normally.

Bicycle jousting and “Build a Bitch” was great.

I hope Liz got home okay after the poacher hunting.

Thank you to whoever brought the churros ;) I had two. Also, Griffith is a good spot as far as parking and shade goes.

I think I lost my sunglasses at the park or after party lol.

Other than that, the meet up was pretty fun! Met a ton of cool people.

I'm sorry I missed it. I had family in town and a birthday dinner. I owe /u/barbehque a beer (and he owes me one). I owe many of you chocolate chip cookies as well.

Next time I'll try and get there earlier. No guarantees though.

Fun was had. Griffith is a great spot, no question. I was half asleep, so sorry I forgot my bag of serving stuff and couldn't prep. Cheers to everyone on the food. People brought great stuff, sorry I missed the games. Everyone seemed friendly and/or otherwise entertaining.

TLDR: You all were a very friendly bunch. Thanks.

Whoever brought Rosemary is the hero we need but not the one we deserve. I took home a Solo cup full of it and my kitchen smells wonderful.

Less heat more clouds next time! Someone forgot a sacrifice to the weather gods. Also I could not for the life of me find any utensils.

I managed to get back in time from Vegas! You guys are all awesome. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to Bigfoot last night since I passed out at 6pm. 😩
