Note: It turns out my friend-organizer is using eventbee.com, which specifically competes with Eventbrite, which everyone wants to avoid for what sounds like good reason. As luck would have it, he's friends with the owner.

I could be wrong but I believe Eventbrite has been accused credibly of bad behavior towards what they consider misinformation spreaders. If I were organizing an event like this I'd verify this allegation one way or the other. It may no longer be true, or it may never have been true, or it may be true now.

Thought I'd mention that Eventbrite is not a good app. Often it does not work right to get your tickets, and it requires conformance to their community standards.

Wow, what a nice idea. I would just love to go along to this, if just to meet a few like-minded folk AND eat steak! I'm sure everyone who manages to go will have an absolutely brilliant time. I'm jealous!

It sounds like there’s loads of enthusiasm to attend remotely. Would popping open a laptop for adding zoom to dinner be feasible? Sheldon, the owner of YakkStak in Substack Land did that last night from a suburb of Edmonton. It was riveting for three hours. He called it a town hall, does it occasionally, and it was my first time attending. Sizzling discussion was had from the Canadian perspective, but we also had attendees from Florida, Pennsylvania, Central America, and further abroad. I would be delighted to attend Matthew’s dinner party remotely from my kitchen table in Philly. Probably 10 of my friends too. And please invite Tessa Lena :-).

Sadly, that is right in the middle of The Greater Reset event in Bastrop. Looking forward to the next live event you hold because I would love to meet some of this group.

I was treated to a birthday dinner at Fogo de Chão in Austin probably about 7-8 years ago? I haven't been back since but it was DELICIOUS then.

Hi Mathew (or anyone in Texas!)

Off topic, but if you had time..

Dr Roger Seheult tweeted out Texas rates of positive tests and deaths by vaccination status last week.

I replied the headlined rates are miscalculated and BS:
