11 attendees, about half of whom had been to a previous meetup; meetup lasted about 2.5 hours; although meetup was scheduled right next door to a major downtown event, seating and noise levels were not really a problem.
Unstructured discussion - mostly getting to know each other and discussion of general Wikipedia project topics. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. There was some evidence that Wikipedians are not generous tippers. [1]
No city in the Americas has had more Wikipedia meetups than Philadelphia! [2] (Seattle and NYC have also had three) Evrik volunteered to initiate the next meetup.
All users are invited to the upcoming Philadelphia area Wikipedia meetup. The purpose of the meetup is little other than to get together with people who share your interest in building the best encyclopedia ever. Don't be shy; the last meetup had casual users and well deeply involved users. It was fun and worthwhile and even ended up in the newspaper.

It's in the Reading Terminal at 13th and Market. The pub can be reached through public transit easily: Just get off of the 11th street stop of the Market-Frankford line or the Market East Station of the SEPTA Regional Rail. Then simply follow the signs to the "convention center" exit, take the escalator up the the first floor of the convention center, and it is right there on your right.
Remember this will be Center City on a Sunday night. Expect parking to be practically unobtainable. However if you must, the Independence Brew Pub Website website provides a map and directions.
The pub itself has two entrances. The Market Street entrance is in the Reading Terminal Head House on Market Street, below the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The Filbert Street entrance is between 11th & 12th, across from Philadelphia's Reading Terminal Market.
