Quora Meetup in Seattle: Planning and Participation
The enthusiasm for a Quora meetup in Seattle has been palpable, and it's clear that many within the community are eager to see the faces behind the names they’ve interacted with.
Interest from the Community
Participants have shown interest in the November 2014 Quora meetup, with many hoping to meet in person. Some have expressed cautious optimism, while others, like Abhishek Chaturvedi, humorously brace themselves for a challenge. However, the general sentiment is positive, with many looking forward to the event.
Preferred Date and Location
The meetup is planned for November 9th, Thursday at 8 pm. Attendees are suggesting that the meeting should take place in Capitol Hill or Belltown, areas convenient for many participants. Another participant, Christopher J. Su, notes that while the day is flexible, a later time would work better due to hosting past Quora meetups.
Logistics and Suggestions
Planning and logistics seem to be at the forefront of everyone's minds. Christopher J. Su, having hosted a few Seattle Quora meetups, offers valuable suggestions. He mentions past issues where the local Quorans were often younger students who couldn’t drink, ruling out bars as venues. He suggests meeting near the UW campus for convenience and because parking can be an issue for driving participants.
A key consideration is the need for a venue where individuals can purchase and pay for their food and drink at a counter. This ensures a comfortable and welcoming environment for all attendees.
Perspectives on Attendance
Several participants express their willingness to attend, contingent upon various factors. For instance, Abhishek Chaturvedi mentions he would go unless something ‘weird/crazy’ happens, showing a level of commitment but with a safety net in place. Meanwhile, Amber Cummings, the original poster, leaves room for scheduling by suggesting that January 2015 could also be considered for the meetup date.
Final Notes on Participation
Keiana Tyree, looking forward to meeting some of you, and Robin Yu, both express definite interest in attending. Keiana, who has never been to Seattle, sees this event as an exciting opportunity. It’s evident that this meetup is generating a lot of excitement within the Quora community, with a potential to foster deeper connections and shared interests among participants.
