Yh it's getting quite popular and should make it an awsome Meetup.
my plan is that those that want to Meetup could goto the weatherspoons near the venue. Then if people want to hang out and go around the event together. Or we can meet up at a certain spot inside like half way though the day.
i also know a few people already planning to get some drinks and hit the pubs etc after if people are up for that
we got a good month and a half to plan so no rush.
