We tried one of these in LA, and while I wasn’t there, I heard people liked it—but it’s a lot of work to run, and so it only happened one time. Part of that is that it was much longer, and part is that finding a venue was hard.
Venues are definitely a problem—we’re lucky enough to have a relatively central humanist group who let us hire out their meeting space once a month, but occasionally it has been difficult to scramble to find an alternative.
I wonder if there’d be some value in having a list of suggested ways to find a venue for people organising meetup groups.
