-Official [[xkcd]] meetups happen every Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m.(*) at that day’s normal geohash coordinates. It is considered a Saturday meetup if you are there at 4:00 p.m. ''or'' if you meet people, but you are most likely to encounter other readers of xkcd if you go at the designated time. Bring games!
