I’m in Cranbrook. Perhaps we need to establish the smaller HN IRL meetup :-)

Nelson has a "tech people meetup" pretty often.

On Facebook? What irony.

No, that is just the page used to organize the face to face meetups

Split the difference, meet in Creston at Jimmy's Pub (pretty well equidistant from Nelson, Cranbrook, Trail). I can walk over there too.
