It's me, unknown_lamer (or, forced by the current username validation code, "Unknown Lamer")... and I live in Raleigh, just a bit south of Red Hat. I was thinking somewhere downtown... or perhaps at my fairly large viking hall? Downtown ideas: Natty Greene's? Flying Saucer? I'll have to check if there are any of those sports games things people like to congregate and blow $5 a pint on Budweiser for...
hot grits.

Ahoy!
Although the idea of folks chipping in together on a keg is alluring, I realized it was the Free Beer part that I found more interesting (after all, software is free). So, if we end up doing the anniversary thing at my place, feel free to bring a bit of extra beer for your fellow /.ers. I'll be supplying a bit of homebrew and whatnot (the joys of ten gallon system).
(A keg would be great, but then someone has to be responsible for returning it / I don't know about you, but every time I've been to a part

If you are still looking for places, Flying Saucer would be awesome. There is also parking nearby. The current sport - Lake Wheeler, does it allow booze? Also, it's kinda away from folks who don't live near NCSU.
I meant spot, not sport!!

The current spot is just an intersection near down town to indicate that I have no idea where we're doing this, heh. It's about where I live however, to give an idea of distance for that version of the meetup.

Unfortunately, polls on journals (which is what I understand anniversary pages are, secretly) aren't supported. I guess k5 has us beat there ;)
To make due with what we have, we can just set up a thread for people to vote. If no one votes, I guess I started this mess so I'll have to pick something ;) Therefore: until Wednesday we'll take suggestions for a venue in this thread (unlike Ann Arbor/NYC this is just "guy who works for /. holds a meet up because he also happens to read /." so I have no budget for r

Tyler's Tap Room has been good for accommodating large parties- though I've only been there for happy hour times. If someone wants to volunteer to help clean up my backyard/patio, I have a nice/dog-friendly "viking pad" near the map locale.
Attn: Location! (Score:2)
OK... so, I got crickets on my attempt to find more places. Therefore, I'm going to leave this pseudo-poll up until Monday. The choices currently are: My place (about a mile south of the current waypoint), Flying Saucer, and Natty Greene's. There's effectively unlimited street parking by me (dead end street even), and parking by the two places downtown is reasonably priced and close (in the case of Natty Greene's, it's just behind the building).
Vote! If no one expresses much of a preference, I'll default it

Ack, yeah. I decided just to do it at my house (please don't stalk me, thanks) because ... oops, the discussion was archived automatically and no one could reply until the engineering team noticed and unarchived the anniversary discussions (danged automagic processes designed to stop spam!).
Another top level comment has directions to my place, and I updated the address so the google map shows the real location now.
Directions (Score:2)
Since the discussion was archived most of the week (blame cron/canada), I decided it would be easiest just to do it at my place. So, directions! Google, naturally, will send you to the correct place. Evergreen ave is off of Lake wheeler (north of Tryon Rd, South of the I-40 interchange), across from a very unmistakeable "pentecosal temple" (it has concrete palm trees and whatnot). It's a really long dead end street; my place is at the bottom of the hill on the left after a drainage right-of-way. If you can,
