Simple, just look for the pasty untanned person in the Visual Studio 2008 t-shirt looking at their smartphone Windows Mobile 7 device

I think Christian Graus can make this one exception and have a drink with the rest of us. ;P Bar & grills that serve alcohol and food? Adult bookstores? Regular bookstores? Cafes? I'm also open to suggestions. :)
A shooting range and you'll get JSOP to come.

We should all meet in Hawaii. I'm sure Chris will be happy to foot the bill.

I propose we have a day each year where all Code Project members actually get off their computers and meet with eachother in some public location. Here are the proposed details:
- When: the first Saturday night of August.
- Where: local pubs.
I know a lot of members don't like to post their location online. Somebody should build a mobile device app that will anonymously post a person's location. It will require Code Project login details so other's don't try to use it. And it should be on multiple platforms (maybe even one on Code Project for members who don't have smartphones). We can then use that map to find the best places to meet other Code Project members. Maybe we could even have a pin/wristband or something that identifies us, so we can spot eachother. This meetup day should be announced in all Code Project emails sent prior to the day. And Bob should dress up for it too. Now we just need Chris to ratify this proposal. :)
Take it another step and have each pub, or elsewhere, Skype for one big Hello. Of course it should be planned for CodeProject anniversary. Chris could buy the first round ;)

I think regional meets would be cool. I'll be at the shooting range if anyone wants to meet me. No booze before or during, please.

Good idea! There are "clubs" that serve alcohol but that most of the straight male (or lesbian) non-drinking members would enjoy. ;)

Total # members - members that do drink = CP members that don't drink Should be easy enough to figure out.

Or a back yard. That's where all my lead is spent and brass is policed.

I often try to get webmasters drunk in attempts to get passwords from them. All your drinks for the night will be on me. :-D

What about the members of CP that don't drink. Pubs really only work for drinkers.

I don't drink but love a good night down the pub
As barmey as a sack of badgers Dude, if I knew what I was doing in life, I'd be rich, retired, dating a supermodel and laughing at the rest of you from the sidelines.

There's a few people here I'd like to meet up with in real life. :mad:

Hell no, you get to bring a big banner saying "Sponsored by CodeProject and Molson brewery" and pay for it all. Get your marketing minions on it, breweries are surprisingly easy to get free stuff out of.
