This is the one I was thinking of, but there are several interesting ones. I guess I’m being an asshole, maybe they’re all awesome. They certainly seem to be smiling and having fun, so I’m just really the dick here. But here’s the picture. Fuck, it is just…a lot. I don’t know. NSFW.
I’m really torn. On the one hand, maybe I would be smiling!? I don’t know what happened! Part of me thinks, “I’ll have some of whatever they’re having!”
But then I don’t strongly feel, “THOSE are my people!” and I fear I’d be one of those faces nervously smiling(?) in the shadows at the back of the group. Also I have a strong sense of smell and I don’t know if I want to roll those dice.
I ask because I’m wondering if I might have been there but, like, before it got to…this. I used to attend weekly reddit meetups at a bar in Houston and they also held a larger meetup (maybe annually?). I went to that once and the location looked kinda like this. But I don’t recognize anyone in the picture and definitely didn’t experience anything like what’s shown…
I did make a lot of friends that way. When I moved away I tried to start something in my new city but it wasn’t big enough to catch on. I did meet a couple cool people though, and ~10 years later I regularly have one of them and her husband over to paint minis about once every other month. I guess my point is that not all reddit meetups got this weird.
you can’t say that and then not link the pictures!

well you have a point, it’s certainly weird. they are smiling, ok, but why would you do that which a lot of them are doing

Any chance you know where this meetup was?

I don’t know why my brain has chosen to retain this information, but this was the Baltimore meetup if I am remembering correctly.
lol, well I appreciate the confirmation it wasn’t my group of weirdos!
lots of questions:
I could go on.
