I always get sick a few days before I am supposed go to them it's really annoying. Happened with the NYC and the Washington D.C. one. I think I am not opposed to big meetups as long as we are just going to public places. If I feel more comfortable with an EoFFer I may go to their home, but I will still have anxiety about it until I get there and see that they are definitely not doing weird skat trout or serial killers.
