Zanzibar Planning Thread

May 8, 2009 5:34 PM

We need to pick a date and time between July 17 and July 19 and a location.

I may be on my first trip to sub-Saharan Africa when Mefi's 10th anniversary rolls around, but dammit that's not going to stop me from getting in on the party!

The better half and I will be on the island of Zanzibar, specifically up the north end in Matemwe, during the specified dates. Willing to relocate to Stonetown for an afternoon if that's better for others. All are welcome.

Zanzibar...sigh. I was there in the fall. Have a good meet-up.

As meet up organiser I am stepping in and making an executive decision on where and when this shindig is going to occur, as clearly none of you can be trusted to reach consensus.

Therefore, I decree that the Zanzibar meet up for Metafilter's 10th anniversary will happen at the Matemwe Beach Village (ph [phone]), Friday July 17th 2009, 4pm onwards. Poolside.

A better link to the venue.

I am unfortunately unable to find the street address for the place but if you are actually thinking of making it along, memail me and I'll get you some directions from the owner, plus my number while I'm in Africa. I'd say all the taxis in Matemwe would know the place.
