xkcd meetup

Here are my pictures from the event. With captions. Huzzah!

Remember this comic?

Well, as you can tell, the date is approaching (this Sunday!) and the location is actually in North Cambridge:

Yay for Google maps!
(The coordinates themselves seem to be in someone's back yard, but there's a park slightly north of that. I think that's where they mean.) I entered it wrong. It is the park.

So when we asked about it when Randall spoke at WPI, he said "you don't have to go there, the comic already tells you what happens. It shows you the future. Nothing happens." Or something like that. But regardless, tons of local xkcd fans are probably going. Including dr_whom and me, since he's visiting his folks for Yom Kippur. Actually, I'm really glad he reminded me of it because I would have forgotten that it's this upcoming Sunday!

Are any of you WPI people planning on coming?

So my hope is that perhaps there's a nice, male, single, Jewish xkcd fan who is around my age who will be there, and then we can meet and fall in love and live happily ever after. (And hopefully he'll know my name before the wedding!) This could be like xkcd match-making or something! How else can nerds meet each other and procreate and make baby nerds?

And hopefully it won't rain.

*Edit* Apparently the original coordinates were in upstate New York. And then he changed them to be in Cambridge. So the fact that he made that effort seems to indicate that something is up. :)
