One of the great virtues of Ricochet members is how seriously they take the notion that membership here isn't simply a subscription -- it's being part of a community. And nothing demonstrates this trait more than our member-initiated meetups, which have been bringing together members and contributors through the nation (and, in some cases, the world). This year, we've already had meetups in California, Georgia, and Texas.

As a reminder, you can keep track of these events through the special Upcoming Meetups page, accessible from the Member Feed. If you haven't had the chance to attend one of these gatherings yet, we encourage you to organize one in your community (you can announce it via a post on the Member Feed and the editors will make sure it gets added to the meetups page) or sign up for one that's already scheduled.  RSVPs are currently being collected for three upcoming meetups. If you're thinking about attending, help out your hosts and shoot them a message to let them know that you'll be there. The upcoming events are:

April 21 -- San Diego

May 5 -- Washington D.C.

May 11 -- Chicago

Thanks to the members who have tirelessly worked to organize these events and those who have taken the time out of their busy schedules to attend. We hope to see you at a Ricochet meetup soon!

We're just about to announce on the Member Feed another one:  San Francisco on June 5.  We've been invited to dove-tail this with an AEI event, so we don't yet know the exact time.

Also, there's a large meet-up being planned for Minneapolis in conjunction with the Power Line folks.  Its date hasn't been set, to my knowledge.

I think that Ricochet needs to create a calendar application to foster the creation of more of these events.  Blog posts aren't the most efficient Program Management System.

I think a simple Google calendar would do the trick.

Three deep-blue cities.  The words "support group for conservatives" have never rung truer.

Bereket Kelile and I are in the early planning stages of trying to get something together in the Sacramento area. Anyone nearby who might be interested in joining in please shoot one or both of us a PM.

Troy hasn't been to Minnesota, you notice.  Time to redress that education.
