This is a reminder there was a shakeup and downsizing that you can read about here. With that said, everyone attending is in great spirits and we're looking to get inspired. + +#### Where do we meet? + +I'll be at the entrance to the Boston Public Library at 1:45PM. At around 2:05 or so I'll start heading to the conference room. If you're arriving late, our friend Caden (who kindly reserved the space for us) has this for instructions: + +> It's Mezzanine Conference Room 2. From the entrance on Boylston street, you veer slightly to the left to the DVD section, and go up the stairs. From there you'll be able to see all the mezzanine conference rooms. + +If you're still lost, you should ask library staff how to get to Mezzanine Conference Room 2. + +#### Can I demo something? + +If we have extra time after the proper presentations, attendees can demo their own Handmade projects: it can be a side-project, but it can also be commercial software you work on, as long as you get into interesting technical details (we don't want this to be a pure ad.) + +#### What do we do after the meetup? + +The plan is to go until 5PM or so. For those with time and motivation left, we'll walk to a nearby park for casual chatter until we do a 6PM dinner together. It's fun to play it by ear, so we'll decide where to eat and drink in person! + +#### I'm here in Boston already + +Make sure you're in the HMC [Discord](https://handmadecities.com/discord) so you can sync up with other attendees in the area. There's a public `#handmade-boston` channel and a private `meetups-boston` channel and you may use either of them. + +P.S. If you don't see the private `#meetups-boston` channel, select **Channels & Roles** in your Discord app and choose "Boston" as a city of interest. + +Your indie organizer,
Abner Coimbre
