Hello again! The second ATL meet up happened last Friday, and 5 people showed up altogether. I hope it isn't presumptuous to say that we all had a good time, but we did in fact have a good time.
Tentatively, the meeting this week will take place this Thursday evening. Email us for the time/location.
Re: writing critique, we have a few writers among us, and so we're opening that up for this week. If you have a piece of writing you'd like critiqued, feel free to bring some copies in for everyone to take home. Real-time reading/criticism was considered, but it would probably be too shallow, so this seems like a better alternative. Of course, we're open to other suggestions.
Again, if you're interested, contact litlanta @ gmail and let's get Veeky Forumstered or something. I'm running out of puns.
Dylan Hill
litlanta gathering confirmed for worlds best meetup with most fun-having and also best actual literature discussion hands down
Samuel Morales
Bump for the (probable) best lit group in ATL.
Nicholas Nelson

Cooper King

Stop on by if it goes badly, we'll be there for a while! And yeah there will probably be one next week as well
Ayden Torres
Why the fuck would you not bring your date to a Veeky Forums meetup when given that opportunity?
Brandon Fisher
will the location be wheelchair accessible?
Julian Morales
Honest to god I can't remember exactly. I'm pretty sure it is though it'd be strange if it wasn't
Lucas Morgan
It'd be even worse if I showed up and couldn't get in and my mom had to make a scene... so can you figure that out? I'd really like to come. I'm pretty shy but usually that's because I don't know what to talk about besides books :(
Carter Howard
I checked their site and they say it is, so you should be good user! We try to get everyone involved in the conversation too so don't worry about that
Mason Long
What did you guys talk about?
Aiden Wilson
literature mostly. a discussion of infinite jest and also some shilling of musil’s the confusions of young torless. also latin.
Thomas Wood
Okay... I'm 39 is that going to be weird?
Grayson Gonzalez

Liam Gutierrez

John Richardson
Lit atlanta
Hunter White
Yeah it'd be weird. Thanks for staying away.
Bentley Clark
Not from Atlanta or even the US for that matter but I gotta say pretty cool that you guys actually go and meet up with other anons. Never met a person from Veeky Forums in real life. Would be cool to talk books like we do here in person. Keep at it bros.
Elijah Murphy
I know right. Though we have Indiachan meetups a few times here, but they've not been all that good.
Jacob Robinson
>baseball levels of superstitious I mean it works, doesn't it? (:^
Camden Murphy

Grayson King
We Reddit now?
Caleb Bell

Mason Moore
Define reddit for me please? The meet up was basically Veeky Forums irl, however you want to take that
Mason Morgan
u must be new if you think Veeky Forums meetups havent been happening for years nd years
Isaac Butler
lmoa @ you nerds, come catch me in Boston, the lit-est city in the UN, that's right I said UN, I might even let you come to our meetup. Only one rule: you must be a published author, and you have to be fluent in Latin; it's the only language we speak.
Ian Moore
unironically i will be coming
Owen Foster
bump for posterity
Xavier Lee
Don't pay him or her any attention, we have the bestest group anywhere in the universe, including all the Dr Who universes AND Rick and Morty universes (which are more than we can count lol)
Dominic Perez
Sort of, we have a thread on REddit as well.
Thomas Rodriguez

Brody Moore

Carter Butler

Michael Fisher

Julian Morris
>Who the fuck are you people? Go back I've been here longer than you.
Christopher Lee

Zachary Price
>>That's two rules you literal cretin, how can you expect me to take your group seriously? >he hasn't read Hegel Please don't come to my group
Bentley Rivera
I'm going and I'm going to crack your skull stupid. Sic ergo sum.
Andrew Young
>>That's two rules you literal cretin >he's never heard of a compound proposition >he thinks every proposition can have at most one atomic constituent
Carter Moore
But I did go to the meetup, silly. I was replying to the user who lied and said he was 39 years old.
Luke Gomez
Why wait? Why not just meet at Harvard square tomorrow? I'll be the super jacked looking dude wearing a white tanktop and brown chinos.
Noah Walker

Dominic Bennett

Hunter Bennett
No you didn't you mentioned being a published author and speaking latin
Benjamin Peterson
You're not coming back are you? I'm not saying don't but are you? It's fine if you are, just need a heads up if you need to join us again.
Josiah Cruz
Whose meetups?
Jason Taylor
Stop pretending, user. Everybody's welcome at our meet ups.
Jaxson Lee
Ah, the old reverse psychology tactic. Was the first meet up that bad? I'm not surprised, Southerners are fucking heat-addled smooth brains.
Jacob Diaz
>Southerners The absolute state of the reading comprehension of this board *implicitly
John Phillips
>thinks I'm going to bother reading his faggy thread
All I see is "Atlanta meet up," Atlanta is in Georgia, therefore, you're fucking Southerners. I don't care how long you've been there, whether you were born there, or in fucking Newfoundland. You live in Atlanta, you're a cousin fucking southerner
Christopher Green
holy shit
Elijah Moore
>Veeky Forums irl Would a James Joyce BRAP joke have been met with hearty laughter or disapproving silence? I'll only come if it's the former.
Austin Ross
laughter, but if you misquote you lose a finger
Matthew Wilson
Can /Alabama/ come?
Matthew Evans
damn right
Brayden Morales
How many hours are you willing to drive to experience shitposting in corporeal form?
Cameron Anderson
i swear a woman wrote this post
Andrew Cook
Is it just some lads getting drunk downtown or what is it
Josiah Bennett
some lads getting drunk closer to the east side but also some not getting drunk and mostly talking about literature or literature related topics.
Jackson Price
If I’m in the area i would drop by if these keep happening
Jayden Hill
Listen, my user, you don't need to be well read to post on this board; frankly you don't even need to read. And by you I mean (You) However, my European friend, I would at least hope that you would read the posts written by the poster to whom you're replying.
