@thatchinesejew is hosting the meetup this week in her backyard. Thanks!

Note the following:

1) We will put in a group doordash order.

2) We will be out of the house by 10PM.

3) You can use the restrooms, just please put a mask on first.

4) There are some heat lamps, but consider bringing jackets and blankets for yourselves.

5) Please bring your own water. If you want to bring snacks, drinks, etc to share, please feel free, but do also bring disposable utensils/​cups/​etc as necessary.

6) For parking: use street parking. Do not park in the driveway on the house. The street says you need permits to park, but based on the prior experience of the occupants this does not seem to be enforced.

7) To enter the backyard, use the white gate to the right hand side of the house. People can enter from there instead of ringing the doorbell at the front. The gate will be open.
