What is Reddit Meetup Day?

You can read more about it here[1], but essentially it's an annual event where communities across Reddit hold local events where users can meet up IRL with fellow redditors in their city.

In the past we've had games, art, a VR setup, and lots more. We are looking at several locations, mostly in central Phoenix to try and be as central as possible.

Common Questions

3: https://goo.gl/maps/MPqTZUtd4mUgcnma7

**What if I don't know anyone?** A lot of us don't know each other IRL, which is why this is a great, lowkey, chill way to meet some new people.
**What if I'm not very social?** You're not alone, so don't sweat it. You won't have to do or talk to anyone you don't want to. There will be no mandatory singalongs.
**What will there be to do?** Meet new people, show off some trivia skill, play some board games, grab a bite to eat/drink, try some VR, and whatever else we can come up with. If you have ideas, leave a comment below.
**What's The Churchill like?** It's a big, open space food/drink/shop place built out of shipping containers. Check out their website for specifics, but it's a great community place. We will have space in their fully shaded courtyard, which is air cooled. It won't be air-conditioned, so it may be warm but shouldn't be too hot.

Got ideas?

If you would like to help out or want to bring some games, art, or something else fun to do let us know.

One thing I want to throw out there for folks who have never been:

No, you don't need to tell us your username.

This seems to always be the most asked question. People can be as private as they want. Some folks write their username on their badge, some folks write their real name, some wierdo's do both. Your call!

The Church is like 5 min walk for me. I hope we plan on getting sloppy embarrassing drunk at noon.

I'll make us all fucking quesadillas in my apartment. I dont even give a fuck. If I get wasted enough I'll show you guys all my ninja weapons I bought. Swords and throwing stars and popcorn and shit.

What?! Does that mean we will need to socialize with people? Face to face with Actual, talking people? Sounds horrifying

Also, somewhere indoor please

I would be down for Churchill. Went there last weekend. Music was at a good volume. Loud enough to hear but could also have a conversation without having to yell. They have board games too. And pretty good tacos!

I'm in!!

Can I suggest a few locations?

Arizona Wilderness on Roosevelt & 3rd st
Third Space on Grand Ave. & 11th ave (under the infamous Trump billboard)
The Yard on 7th st & montebello

These are all centrally located, group oriented, with food and drink options and have shaded areas with misters.

Just thought I’d throw some options out there!

I am new to reddit and still figuring out how it works, but I am also planning to move to Phoenix in July and could use some friends and advice. I will be in town on the 22 for vacation, thinking this might be a good way to meet people and learn about the area?
