Afternoon weather calls for rain/thundershowers. Bring an umbrella/poncho/forcefield as necessary. Perhaps we should investigate nearby eateries in case of a possible rainout. There is a food court to the south, NE of the Torpedo Factory.
This was one of the largest meetups.
What Happened?
Sixteen people met up around the big ol' tree in Founder's Park which was the official geohash point. We relocated to a nearby foodcourt for games and fun times after the local constable warned us of a coming storm. After a while, 10 of us relocated to a local tavern for food and drink.

Ciel earned the Circus Geohash Achievement
