View submission: Reddit Global Meetup yesterday...r/Sacramento, you guys are awesome!
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.

I am moving to Sacramento in a week and a half for work, have been lurking in this sub for a while now to get a feel for the place. I fully support doing a meetup more than once a year because it sounds like this was a lot of fun!

It was a lot of fun and Toby and I wish we could have stayed longer! I'd definitely be up for doing this more often!

This whole thing was thanks to PoweraWindows85 and creating a totally from scratch event only a week or so prior to the Global Meetup. I gotta hand it to you for pulling it off and once again look forward to your future r/sacramento meet ideas.
