    If you're on time or a bit early you'll spot them. :)

    There is normally 20 to 30 people at each meet. They stand right beside the red phone on Wicklow Street. Look for a bunch of people with backpacks.

    The meetings are most definitely alive and well. Still skulking around what used to be a pay phone outside Tower Records on the first Friday of the month at 19:00. We stick around for 20 minutes or so to catch any late stragglers and then we head for a fine feed, drinks and a bit of discord :)

    The 2600 meetings have pretty much been going on for well over a decade now and haven't really lost their stride, just the odd slow periods. Dublin has changed an awful lot and so have we. It's harder to find somewhere that a group can just saunter into to accomodate 10-20 people looking for food, drinks and power sockets. Free wifi a bonus.

    Hope to see some new faces at the next meet.
