**UPDATED 6/21***

Last update prior to the meetup tomorrow.

Not much new to add. We've got 17 people on the Google Sheet (as of about 1:45pm) and about a dozen others in the comments that have either said they will or may attend. Obviously not everyone is going to show up, but hopefully it will be a good turnout.

If you see a guy wearing a Riot Fest shirt tomorrow, that's me. My name is Steve. Come say hello. You may as well because if you don't, I'll track you down and introduce myself to you :)

I'll be keeping this updated tomorrow if/when we move on from Tahoe Park to a different location.

I look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow.

=========

Since the OP from the original[1] thread deleted his/her reddit account, I'm willing to take it from here.

We will be meeting at a different park. More info in my comment below. Here are the meetup details:

**Date: Saturday, June 22nd**
**Time: 12:00 - ???**
**Location: Tahoe Park - 3501 59th Street** * The one and only gazebo (GA6) has been rented. The map is here[2]. We will have shade. * I have paid the $45 fee to rent the gazebo. If anyone wants to donate to help pay for the rental, that would be great, but it is strictly voluntary.
After a while in the park, if people are up for it, we can retreat to somewhere like Sac City Brews[3], which is just a couple blocks away.

If we’re going to do a potluck then we will need plenty of people to bring enough to contribute. I have created a Google sheet[4] where people can fill out and state what they plan to bring to the meetup. I have already logged to date (5/29) what people have said they will bring.

~~There are a couple BBQ's close to the gazebo but they could be rented out by other groups. If we're going to BBQ, I have a small one that I can bring but you can't cook much on it. If someone else can bring a small one as well, that would be great.~~

TBT to our 2016 meetup at McKinley!

Edit to hijack my own comment: since OP is putting in his own time and money to make this happen, it would be super rad if anyone who can would chip in a small donation (~$5) to help him out. I ended up breaking even at the McKinley meetup I put on thanks to the folks who helped out and it was really appreciated!

I honestly have social anxiety, but want to attend. If anyone wants to chat with me and get to know me a bit, maybe we can go together? I’m an awkward loner.

I went to the city park reservation office today to try and reserve a spot for us. Everything in the midtown and East Sac area was already reserved for the 22nd. There is construction going on at McKinley Park that knocks out six of the eight reservable spots. The other two were already taken.

Tahoe Park was the only one in the area that had any availability so I jumped on it. We have a gazebo rented with four picnic tables under the gazebo so we will be in the shade the whole time. There should be plenty of parking available for those that will drive in.

I'm in. If we're gonna do a potluck, may I suggest creating a Google Sheet for people to RSVP?

Is this just an open invite for sac residents on reddit to just hang? I'm fairly new to reddit and figured I'd check whats going on in my area lol.

I'm interested in attending. Would this be more family friendly? Or would beer be involved? I don't know yet if I'll bring any food though

EDIT: I'm old enough to drink.

This sounds amazing. I really wish I can bring myself to go, but just thinking about it makes my entire body tense. I’m completely awkward and get really anxious. Anybody want to become friends so we can go together ? Hope you all have a great time tho

I'm tempted to check this out, but afraid it'll be cringey as hell. How do these typically go? Good times or meh?

Yay. Let's meet up.

Are there any vegetarians/vegans/people with special diet accommodations? I'm not in that group but I want to make sure everyone is included. :)

I'll be visiting from out-of-the-area and will be bringing lots of cheese of varying types and plastic knives for those cheeses that aren't pre-sliced (for burgers or just eating). I've added this to the spreadsheet. If anyone has any special cheese requests, please ping me directly on reddit and I'll add it to the list! :)

I will not be bringing crackers or other typical cheese-delivery items so this would be a great thing for someone else to nab as their item, if desired.

Not sure how buried this will get, but I'm likely coming from Elk Grove and would be down to pick up some people and carpool! I'd prefer if you were 21+ in case the group moves to a bar or something but nbd if you just need a ride.

I really want to come but I'm pretty sure my social anxiety will take over and win.
