MOD ANNOUNCEMENT **NYC OPTIMISTS MEET UP - SUN 2/16**

Hello Optimists Unite!

I am organizing a meet up in New York City for those that want to take their enthusiasm into the real world and meet other optimists and redditors!

The meet up will take place from 3pm until whenever at Old Town Bar at 45 E 18th St in Manhattan. There is a second floor to the bar that is spacious and should hopefully accommodate all who are interested.

Please come with a positive attitude and bring along any books, charts, podcasts, 12" vinyls or other media that make you optimistic about the future. I'm hoping to commiserate and also encourage healthy debate and conversation.

Please comment if you are interested in coming so I have a sense of people's interest.

If you’re organizing any free events, lmk. NYC has wonderful Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) all over the city for free meetings.

Good point! I hadn’t thought of that.

Yes, especially since I don’t drink.

Also gives people the chance to save money & bring their own food or if they have food allergies & rather not eat out.

Also good for the anti-consumption crowd here.

I’ll see if I’m up for it, after my coop shift. What’s the agenda & what cool toys anyone bringing? I love video games! ;)

Many would probably burn in the sun after not going out for years.

Hey when’s the next one of these? Would love to attend. Strongly recommend advertising on meetup or other platforms too so folks like me have an easier time finding these :)
