Party at the Fire Station

So, last evening was the Global Annual Reddit Meetup, where thousands of Redditors in every major city across the world meet, socialize, drink, and party. Naturally I attended the Paris "Chapter", and it was an absolutely lovely night! At least 40-50 people showed up, some American, some Parisian, some English, and some Australian - a diverse crowd all connected by the power of the internet. The true fun started, however, when the fire station we were partying next to invited us (yes, internerds) up to party with them! Let me just say that again...FIRE FIGHTERS....invited us up to the FIRE STATION to party with them. What the fuck? This would never happen in the States. Anyway, we spent the rest of the night drinking and having a blast with the firefighters. Oh, Parisians - how lightly you take your work.





All in all, a great success. And the firefighters have a hell of a view up there.

    Hah! Sounds like you had a blast!

    The Dallas meetup was fucking CRAZY. Over 200 people met up at Lake Lewisville and there was plenty of grilling, swimming, gaming, drinking, and tree smoking. It was a blast until some guy tried to break dance and dislocated his shoulder. It was about that time when I left, haha. I wanted to get out before the ambulance/cops showed up, but apparently that was just the start of the fun. I heard mentions of late-night skinny dipping and bacon grilling.

    (Although I'm not too sure about that skinny dipping... the guy/girl ratio was like 10:1...)

    Holy SHIT!! That's awesome dude, wish I had been there to see it/experience it! But I'm sure you were more than a worthy ambassador :) And, yeah, the guy-to-girl ratio for all Reddit meetups are just about like that. I mean, whaddaya expect, ya know? Either way, glad to hear it was kickass worldwide!
