Manchester by the sea? (coastal town in Massachusetts).

Let's do it somewhere around New England, that way I don't have to travel far, screw everybody else.

That's not a half bad idea on it's own merit

What I find funny about meetups in Aspie forums is the typical irony of "we all hate socializing, so lets get a few hundred of us in a room together".  Personally I like socializing, contrary to what most people on AFF believe, you don't have to hate social interaction to have Autism.

Same here, but it depends on what being discussed, I just get bored from listening to meaningless small talk over a period of time. I've learned enough to play along with, but still. Not many around willing to hold deep conversations.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

I don't mind so much with the right people and topics most people talk about crap.  It also takes a few beers and a while for me to warm to the idea of talking

The trouble with me is that I am not very scholarly, and do not retain a huge store of facts,
 so I'm not sure conversation with me would be fun for people like you. :-\

Lots of topics besides pop culture ones I like have to deal more with science or current events but if the people are right it can be many things

I love to analyze people's motives and behavior, and I love to talk about cool disease stuff I've seen on TV.
I just can't discuss things at the scholarly level of some people here. :dunce:
