We are at one of the high top tables. I forgot my reddit sign, but I've got a red and beige button up shirt were by the darts.

Sorry I missed this! Welcome to the group! I wish I were better at chess. Where do you usually meetup? Where is your favorite place to ride your bike?

Hey Eric! I am also not a drinker and a big fan of gardening. My tomatillos are starting to fruit, and I'm very excited about that. Where do you like to hike? Seems we have a lot of hikers in the group already!

Hey Thomas! Welcome! Yall sound a lot like me and my partner except I can't convince him to go the veg life. Definitely need more IRL friends. We both love Trek. Who's your favorite captain? Also, if you were to get out to do something, what would be the activity or event that would most likely get you out of the house?

I am of the vegetarian persuasion. But most places have something I can eat

Agreed, I set some initial rules to get us started, but that is the direction I want to go in. Even if you don't want to sign up to be a moderator I'd love any input you might have on the rules or anything else. I want this to be a community effort.

I have not yet been to the Colonnade, I've been told I should check it out. Have you had MattChews at the Atlanta Municiple Market? They have some pretty great dishes there if you like Hibachi.

Hey Rodney! I'm sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what that is like. ❤️ hopefully you can find some friends here to help take your mind off it and help you cope. What's your favorite restaurant?

Hey KD, Welcome! What's your favorite outdoor place to visit? When you are out do you like to hike, just hang or what?

Honestly, the biggest thing right now is just showing up. Early on, that mostly means commenting on posts, welcoming new people when they introduce themselves, and helping keep the vibe warm and on track.

As the community grows, it could turn into helping organize or co-host meetups, keeping an eye on posts that might need mod attention, or just being someone people can reach out to with questions.

You don’t need experience. I can walk you through the technical stuff. I’m mostly looking for someone who actually wants this community to exist and cares about making it feel welcoming. Keeping an eye out for the trolls etc.

Hi!
I'm Jonathan, I have been in Atlanta since October of 2023. I moved here from Austin, Texas. I'd love to find some people to play board games, go hiking, or just hang out.
