Thanks again, Buaidh, for setting this up. I hope such a gathering inspires me to be a little more active in the project. Regular meetups would be great. Somewhere in or near Boulder would be preferable. But it's something that could certainly be discussed. Ender and Peter 20:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think we could support small quarterly meetings in Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs. It could be fun even if just a handful of users showed. Yours aye,  Buaidh  01:17, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's a mailing list to help you find other Wikimedians to hang out with! -- Gaurav (talk) 00:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly, my wife and I could bring something. We know a few Irish and old time tunes, but were strictly amateur front-porch muscicians. N2e (talk) 19:59, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I never travel without my percussion bag, so if I make it (from New Mexico) I'll tastefully back up whatever you start. Carptrash (talk) 17:16, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
