Last year, the Great American Wiknic brought together Wikipedians and people interested in Wikipedia to share in food, conversation and outdoor fun. Let's do that again!
Scott Carpenter Park, at the intersection of Arapahoe Avenue and 30th Street,
Boulder, Colorado
Saturday, June 30, 2012 from noon to 2:00 pm
We will meet at the Rocketship (it's at the playground).
In case of bad weather, head instead to Harpo's Sports Grill at 2860 Arapahoe Avenue -- head west along Arapahoe Avenue from the intersection.
If you have any questions or problems getting to the site, please e-mail me at gaurav at ggvaidya dot com. If you need a phone number to contact me on, please drop me an e-mail and I'll send it to you. I'll be bringing something for us to sit on; since I'm not sure how many people will show up, I've decided not to buy any food until after 12:30pm or so (there's a King Soopers' nearby, and if there's a lot of people/it gets too hot it might be easier to go to a restaurant). I hope to see you all tomorrow!
Thanks, Gaurav, for organizing this. I've not been all that active here for a while. Maybe this would be a good way to get back into the whole thing. Presentations would be great, but brightness is a crucial factor to be mindful of. I'm sure there are coverings of sorts there. It's been a while since I've been to that park, but it may be feasible. But then, I'm not sure where you'd get equipment, unless you already had something in mind. Ender and Peter 05:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Scott Carpenter Park (a former landfill) was recently dug-up in order to install a new irrigation system. In the process, glass from one of the upper layers of the landfill was unearthed. The majority of the shards have been removed, but shoes/chairs/blankets should be encouraged.
