A quick question for you guys as I'm trying to set up a meet in Seattle right now. Did you guys just meet and then let things take their course or did you plan any events/games etc.? I'm wondering if I need to do anything besides setting up a venue and getting rsvps and all that.

It depends on the type of gathering really. I always just reserve and area of a pub, get an estimate number of guests and wait to see who turns up. Because there is already a social atmosphere we just chat, drink etc, we never need anything to entertain us! I can only talk from my own experience but I think all of the smaller gatherings have always been like that. I know that some bigger parties (where a venue was is actually hired out for just FF people, 50+ guests etc) there have been some light hearted games, like costume contests, raffles, guess the number of sweets in the jar etc, and that was great to bring everyone together/stop people dividing off into their own groups completely! But I don't think games really work unless there are enough of you, and they are certainly not necessary! I find it's much nicer to just chat and get to know each other naturally really! Hope that's helped!

Thanks, I took that into consideration, I just got back to the meet and while not everyone could make it that wanted to, we still all had a good time. Looking forward to seeing some photos up here soon
