I do hope so... I know I cannot be in my location more than about 10-15 min as I need to get my ass to work but I hope to run into other baltimore people.

But more importantly, get those donut photos and videos posted!!!

The meet-ups don't have to be very formal. Of course, everyone needs to visit their local donut shop. And post the photos and videos. What makes it even better is when you enjoy your donut with other Flickr members.

tentative and subject to change: milwaukee's meet will be at cranky al's in wauwatosa at 6:30 p.m.

because no way would i ever be able to do something like this in the morning. i cut my mornings close enough as it is, and i'd never be able to properly enjoy my donut, without fear that i could be late for work.
