I see Boston and NYC meetings on either side of us, but I'm in central CT. Anyone else?

jrhampt · « **Reply #1 on:** July 29, 2013, 02:00:40 PM »

Replying to bump this up again. I know we're anti-social New Englanders here, but I've been seeing more contributors from CT lately and thought I'd give it another shot.

anastrophe · « **Reply #2 on:** July 29, 2013, 02:17:33 PM »

I'm near northern CT but I don't have a car. If you met closer to Hartford/Enfield I might be able to go. Alternatively I have family near New Haven...

jrhampt · « **Reply #3 on:** July 29, 2013, 07:18:43 PM »

I work in Bloomfield some days; is that getting within range?

teacherman · « **Reply #4 on:** July 29, 2013, 07:46:27 PM »

I'm in New Haven. It'd be fun to have a meet up.

jrhampt · « **Reply #5 on:** July 30, 2013, 11:42:42 AM »

Great! Let's see if we can get a couple others on board and then plot our next move.

chops · « **Reply #6 on:** August 09, 2013, 09:34:58 AM »

I'm in the Hartford area myself...let me know on venue ideas (picnic lunch at elizabeth park in hartford some weekend could be a mustachian option)

jrhampt · « **Reply #7 on:** September 12, 2013, 11:12:30 AM »

Oh, I like the Elizabeth Park idea, especially when they have their summer concert series (although that's over now). Or a group hike or something on some of the local trails (metacomet, for example).

cdttmm · « **Reply #8 on:** September 12, 2013, 08:24:13 PM »

If you're meeting up in the Hartford area, I would love to join you! I'm in western MA so it's much closer for me to do a meet up in Hartford than Boston.

engineerjourney · « **Reply #9 on:** November 03, 2013, 04:22:32 PM »

Southeastern CT here.

ToughMother · « **Reply #10 on:** January 12, 2014, 03:16:34 PM »

I'm another western Mass person who would be interested in something in Enfield or possibly Hartford...

Hooray! Another western MA person. That makes three of us (that I know of). Maybe one day we can have a western MA meetup!

Northwestern CT here.

highwayskies · « **Reply #13 on:** February 20, 2014, 04:26:36 PM »

In West Hartford! Would happily attend!

I think we may have enough people to have a Pioneer Valley meetup now. Maybe this summer?

That seems so far away as I stare out my window at the snow banks, but I'd gladly be in.

chops · « **Reply #17 on:** February 28, 2014, 08:33:13 PM »

Summer or even Spring works...Elizabeth Park in Hartford could be a great place to meet up and have a pot luck picnic. We could also coordinate around one of their free concerts.

ToughMother · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2014, 03:56:49 PM »

Would be very interested in a Pioneer Valley meet up!!! We just live with this snowy cold junk all the time, so I'm game anytime...

cdttmm · « **Reply #19 on:** April 20, 2014, 07:03:50 PM »

Pioneer Valley folks -- are we ready to plan a meetup? CT folks, you're welcome to join us!

Not sure where everyone's at, exactly, so I'm going to suggest Northampton as a possible meeting place, but I'm open to suggestions.

Dr. A · « **Reply #20 on:** April 21, 2014, 06:47:18 AM »

I'd be in, and would vote for Nortampton, seeing as I live there.

tmac · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2014, 01:35:07 PM »

Just closed on a house in central CT. Moving mid-June.

I'm in CT. Not sure if I'm ready for a meetup. I still drive an embarrassingly anti-mustachian car.

It's OK. I can give you a great deal on a 1990 Dodge Dakota pick-up. ;)

ToughMother · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2014, 04:28:15 PM »

Let's do something in N'hamp!! I'm there too. This would be great.

dani · « **Reply #25 on:** April 29, 2014, 02:18:37 AM »

Hello. I am new to the forum. We live in Northampton....

cdttmm · « **Reply #26 on:** April 29, 2014, 06:09:11 AM »

Love that all the western MA folks are interested in getting together. Connecticut peeps, please join us if you are interested.

I'm guessing weekends work best for most people. What do you prefer for a meet up time:

Friday evenings
Saturdays (morning, afternoon, evening)
Sundays (morning, afternoon, evenings)

chops · « **Reply #27 on:** April 29, 2014, 10:37:42 AM »

So for us central CTers that are looking for a local meetup - how about Elizabeth Park in Hartford, CT on Saturday, June 21st? (This way hopefully tmac can unpack and come meet her new mustachian neighbors!) I'm thinking a pot-luck picnic lunch around noon.

Feel free to chime in with suggestions/comments/face-punches...

-Chops

tmac · « **Reply #28 on:** April 29, 2014, 10:55:10 AM »

Elizabeth Park, Hartford, June 21 -- We're in, assuming nothing goes horribly awry with the move and we're not there yet. We're usually homebodies, so going somewhere to meet a bunch of "strangers" is a little out of my comfort zone, but it'll be good for us. It's on my calendar. :)

Anyone else? We'll have two kids in tow (8 and 10), so we'll bring some outdoor toys, in addition to food.

tmengineer · « **Reply #29 on:** April 29, 2014, 05:07:05 PM »

I'd be interested in an meetup in NOHO or something for the Western MA people!!

ToughMother · « **Reply #30 on:** April 29, 2014, 05:18:13 PM »

I would love a N'hamp meet up. Fri evening would work great on my end. Where's a properly mustachian location at which to meet? I was pondering this on my long commute to work today, so I'm glad to see some interest here tonight...

dani · « **Reply #31 on:** April 30, 2014, 09:07:01 AM »

Hey Western Mass / Northampton folks. Seems like it may be time to start a new string for our little group. Please look for it....

nushagak · « **Reply #33 on:** May 14, 2014, 03:57:21 PM »

I just caught this thread - but I'm definitely down for a Western MA or CT meetup if we get one going.

CT_Stash · « **Reply #34 on:** May 17, 2014, 12:29:51 PM »

I'm also in for a meet up. I'm live just outside of New Haven.

I read Elizabeth Park, Hartford, June 21 in one post. Has there been any consensus around this date? I'll keep my calendar open incase things open up.

chops · « **Reply #35 on:** June 12, 2014, 12:51:27 PM »

Bad news from Chops - I'm not going to be able to make the June 21st meetup :( An immovable graduation ceremony for the gf is causing this...and she's mustachian so I need to hold on to her. Sorry but hope everyone else meets up without me...

engineerjourney · « **Reply #36 on:** June 12, 2014, 08:32:54 PM »

I won't be able to meet the June 21st meetup either :-( I am doing the MS150 that weekend (150 mile bike ride to raise awareness/money for MS).

cdttmm · « **Reply #37 on:** July 31, 2014, 12:21:54 PM »

CT peeps -- it seems like the Western MA folks might actually be getting a meet up together in August. Wanted to extend the invitation in case any of you are inclined to join us.

nushagak · « **Reply #38 on:** August 17, 2014, 09:40:09 AM »

Any interest in a meetup this September or October?

livnletlrn · « **Reply #39 on:** October 09, 2014, 08:17:11 AM »

Hi all -- Not directly Mustachian, but closely related, I wanted to let you know about Hartford Minimalists.

We usually meet in Glastonbury on the 2nd Tues of each month, the FB announcement page (publicly visible, no FB account needed) for which is here: https://www.facebook.com/hartfordminimalists/

This month, we're meeting on Tues, Oct 14, in Hartford at MakeHartford, a makerspace/collaborative workspace. This month's topic is "Sharing Economy: MakeHartford and other minimalist resources." Details here:
http://tinyurl.com/m4h5tzr

In between our real life meetings, discussion and inspiration continue via our private FB group here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402832563300814/

I hope to meet you soon. Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on this thread and also possibly come to the next CT Mustachian gathering.

(Similar message cross-posted to Western MA thread because, you know, the more Minimalist Mustachians, the merrier!)

CT_Stash · « **Reply #40 on:** November 14, 2014, 06:22:35 PM »

I'm near New Haven. Anyone looking to meet up? I bet the lot of us have pretty similar ideas. Bet we could share ideas or team up and kick the can to FI a few years earlier as a team.

I vote for a holiday meet up beginning of December.

livnletlrn · « **Reply #41 on:** November 14, 2014, 08:47:29 PM »

I'd be up for that, CT_Stash.

Pkpatter · « **Reply #42 on:** December 30, 2014, 07:19:15 AM »

I can't tell if a meetup happened for CT or not yet, but I would be interested if anyone else is still interested. I'm in the Hartford area.

livnletlrn · « **Reply #43 on:** December 30, 2014, 07:33:07 AM »

Let's plan something, Pkpatter. Could you meet for coffee next Tues., 1/6/15?

Other Mustachians: If we can firm something up, it'll be open to all. Please join us!

drak0017 · « **Reply #44 on:** December 30, 2014, 07:53:36 AM »

In Southeastern CT and would love to meet up!

livnletlrn · « **Reply #45 on:** December 30, 2014, 08:04:28 AM »

Drak0017, could you do next Tues, 1/6? I'd propose Panera in Glastonbury.

drak0017 · « **Reply #46 on:** December 30, 2014, 09:56:00 AM »

livnletlrn - Tuesday nights generally are not good for me, but I could do Monday or Wednesday next week!

Pkpatter · « **Reply #47 on:** December 31, 2014, 07:59:45 AM »

I'd like to shoot for later in January to give other people a chance to see this and join us. How about sometime the last 2 weeks of January? I can be flexible on dates, but evenings and weekends are best. Can't meet Thursdays though.

ToughMother · « **Reply #48 on:** January 04, 2015, 08:58:22 AM »

Hey Connecticut Peeps:

Saw this on another group and thought it might be of interest:

http://www.meetup.com/Smart-Living-For-Financial-Freedom/events/218715729/

Sunday, Jan 11 @ 6pm, Panera Bread in West Hartford.

livnletlrn · « **Reply #49 on:** January 04, 2015, 02:39:08 PM »

I'll be at the meeting in West Hfd next weekend. I used to go regularly, missed the last few months, but plan to be there again this month.
