I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for taking the time to come out yesterday. I truly enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.

There are 32 people in this picture. I can think of at least seven other people that showed up who were not in the shot. Almost 40 people was a pretty massive turnout - about double what I honestly expected. And despite having all those people, there was still SO much more food and drink than everyone could finish. Not only did you guys show up, but you brought goodies with you too!

One of the things that I thought was so cool was that I know a couple people brought card and board games but I never saw them taken out at all. Everyone was fine talking to each other all day. And I truly mean all day...the last group of us (I think there were six or seven at that point) left Tahoe Park at 7pm! Who says Redditors don't want to interact with each other in person? :)

I had several people tell me that we should do this more than once a year. I'll message the mods and see if they want to organize something more frequently. I'm perfectly willing to help out as well.

I had an awesome time yesterday meeting everyone. I hope you guys did too. Thanks for coming out and making it awesome.

That is so awesome and I'm such an idiot. I thought 22nd was the Sunday (today). I was in Tahoe park playing Ultimate till noon anyway yesterday. I wish I had realised sooner and could have met you fine folk.

Anyone up for more frequent, informal meetups?

Look at all the good looking people. My question is did the people who had beef with each other over on one of the Tara O'Sullivan posts show up?

It was excellent! Thanks Steve for organizing, to the cheese woman (Stacey?), An for holding the sign, Rashad for awesome tacos, and everyone for great conversation and lots of food.

Plenty of space to stand around awkwardly not making eye contact. Ha ha ha

We were the best group in the park.

Superb photo. Thanks /u/PowerWindows85 for all the hard work and thanks everyone for joining. We should do this more often. It was fun.

P.S: I think we missed Emily and /u/Easleyaspie and her family who came later.

No wonder Sacramento gets voted ugliest people year after year.

Just kidding! If I wasnt working a 12 hour day yesterday I would have showed up. I sure hope you all do it again next year, and I manage not to piss off too many of you before then.
