The thought of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/suitablegirl\/3068754227\/in\/set-72157610446794210\/\">proper Southie food<\/a> makes me giddy, so when I think of how I&#8217;ll get to nom some of that AND squeal at Sugi <em>AND<\/em> potentially meet some of our loyal Midwestern readers, lurkers and trolls&#8230;well, I feel faint from such excitement. <strong>Remember: all are welcome at meetups<\/strong>. Even if you&#8217;ve never commented before, feel free to stop by&#8211; Sugi and I would love to meet you!<\/p>\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard great things about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.madrasmasala.com\/\">Madras Masala<\/a>; not only is the food supposed to be good (It&#8217;s auntie-tested, uncle-approved), it&#8217;s well-located, which is helpful since neither Sugi nor I have cars. <strong>Let&#8217;s meet there at 6pm on Saturday<\/strong>&#8212; which is after the SAAN conference. I&#8217;ve been warned that they may not have enough space, so if you could let us know in the comments if you&#8217;re going to join us, that would be a great help.<\/p>\n\n<p>Oh, and D.C.? You&#8217;re up next. \ud83d\ude42 Look for a post on THAT, soon.<!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right brown boys and girls&#8230;for the first time in months&#8211; and for the first time ever in the mitten state of MICHIGAN, Sepia Mutiny will host a meetup!
