Title: [IC] Asheville NC Meetup (POSTPONED)
Post by: Rensuya on Sun, 11 August 2019, 16:19:56: Hello all!

I am gathering interest on a possible meet up for Asheville NC.

Reasons for Ashville: The mountain scenery there is very beautiful, it's not too far from the surrounding cities from other states such as Atlanta, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Greenville, Spartanburg.

UPDATE: Meetup will be held on 3/21/20 @ 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST

If you're planning to attent then please fill this out: Registration Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8iImPx_VZ35e7cnTj_g19yH6SuYz9ELykwXWuM2uZlAB-dQ/viewform?usp=sf_link)

Here is a link to my Discord (https://discord.gg/DuERjBV), where I have made a channel for the event labeled "nc-meetup"

Thank you for your time, let's show East coat some keeb love!

Yeah, I'm hoping this goes well and it just so happens I do like crafts!

Post by: donutcat on Tue, 03 September 2019, 22:43:00: Expressing interest. I'm in the Shelby area so this would be a pretty easy drive for me, and Asheville is familiar enough with as much as I was there in 2016 for med stuff :P. Also had to say November since there was no October choice in the IC form.

Post by: Rensuya on Thu, 05 September 2019, 19:26:20: Some updates for the meetup.

We now have a few sponsors for the event!

-Dixiemech
-CannonKeys
-TheKeyCompany

These 3 vendors will be showing their support by providing various things to giveaway at the event. I myself will also be giving some cool things away ;D

No updates yet on a venue yet but will be getting that soon. As for the polls currently, the winning months are November & March. Expect the event to be held on a Saturday in one of these months. I realize this is a fairly large time gap, but I am waiting to see how the polls may change over the next week or so.

More updates soon :thumb:

Edit: the company I work for has offices in Biltmore Park. Depending on the number of people attending, I can offer the use of our meeting space if you don’t already have something else lined up.

That's would be pretty cool! I am currently looking into a venue but if it doesn't pan out then this could be great.

Unless things get worse in the next week or the venue says otherwise then yes it's still on!

Post by: Rensuya on Fri, 13 March 2020, 14:10:32: I just got a call from the venue and we will have to postpone the meetup for a few months. Sorry for those who were looking forward to this but we will still hold the event, it will just be after this whole Corona scare is over and the venue lets us hold it!

Post by: TheFourthCow on Tue, 31 March 2020, 19:27:34: I just found GeekHack and have a few boards. I'll keep checking back here because whenever this is all over I'm definitely coming since I'm in town!

I'm going to bump this because I love Asheville and am still hoping, as unlikely as it may be, to be able to make the rescheduled event!

I'm planning to still host this Meetup as soon as things calm down enough!

Knoxville, eh?! How are you liking it? I've loved it there every time I visited, absolutely gorgeous scenery. :)

Post by: Darthbaggins on Wed, 06 May 2020, 20:20:20: I would be down for a weekend trip up to Ashville, could also see if any of my family happen to be in the area if they're not in Charlotte.

Post by: LoPhatSPAM on Wed, 22 July 2020, 01:14:52: Bump from another new user AND another Knoxville guy wanting to find a excuse to come to my favorite home away from home, Asheville.

My family and I are there every few months anyway (well, we are when things are a little less crazy) so barring a work catastrophe I am totally in for this !
