I guess this thread better fits in the Meetups section; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=86.0
To move your thread, Scroll down to the footer and find the Move Topic button bottom left corner. Click on it, Choose Bitcoin -- Meetups and then click on the Move Topic button again to move it. You are done!

Now get back to the main topic. It will be good if people find more people to trade in real life. But, If someone cares too much about their privacy, I don't think they like public meetups. Anyways, I saw there are four upcoming events already. The place is Shark Hotel; I am wondering if there is any fees to join this event. If not, Who will pay the charge of the hotel?
