As this is at lunchtime, I'd vote for something like Koko, Südtiroler Platz: The food is good, it offers more than one vegetarian dish, and it is not only in walking distance to just about all the inner++ city of Graz, but also reasonably close to a parking place should anybody arrive by car.

What time is ideal for you and what times would work? Are you able to attend on another date but not Sunday 22?

[-]eurg14y10

Ah, I just looked up my calender, and indeed, I have an important obligation on Sunday 22 already. In case anybody wonders, I'd have time the week after, and the one after that...

Any other comments and suggestions

[-][anonymous]14y00

How does eurg's suggestion, Koko, Südtiroler Platz, sound? Any more preferrable location?

[-]lazado14y10

i would suggest Tik Tak, Maygasse. And why don't we meet up on Saturday? Would be much easier since most of us have to work on monday.

[-]eurg14y00

I would rather avoid Tik-Tak as meet-up location, as well as similar bars/cafés. Loud music/loud crowd, little light, much smoke... These reasons are behind my suggestion to go to somewhere more restaurant-like.

I myself will refrain from proposing further places, as too many options won't make it any easier.

[-]lazado14y00

there is actually a non-smoker area in the "bar" in wich it is rather quit, because there aren't any people in there.

I who made the meetup have no locations or any plan for it (and I just arrived in the country a few weeks ago); any suggestions are welcome!

[-]David Althaus14y10

Some suggestions:

12:00 is maybe too early. E.g. if I traveled from Munich to Graz, I'd have to get up at around 4:30. Vienna to Graz takes about 3 hours, so folks from Vienna would have to take the train at 8:45 which is still quite early, if you ask me :-)
you could make a doodle-survey just to see how many folks will show up and plan accordingly. Or you could make some surveys here on LW. Just write comments like e.g. "Is 12:00 too early? Vote this comment up if you think so."
for the location: It has to be relatively quiet since discussing in noisy places sucks. User:eurg's suggestion looks good.

Don't know if this was helpful.

[-][anonymous]14y00

This was helpful and I made a comment post with these things!

[-]David Althaus14y10

Nice! I'll probably be there (70%). Do you have any concrete location in mind?

ETA: Ah, the sin of overconfidence. 70% is too high. I didn't know that you need 6 hours from Munich to Graz.

I changed my mind and wont 'host' this meetup, however the delete button doesn't seem to work on the post
