It was nice to get this in my inbox this morning.
Hi Captain,
I am pleased to announce the first ever St. Louis Captain Awkward Meetup! Come out and meet your fellow Awkwardeers!
Where: Shameless Grounds Coffee House
1901 Withnell Ave. (at the corner of Withnell Ave. and Lemp Ave.)
Saint Louis, MO 63118
http://www.shamelessgrounds.com
(314) 449-1240When: Sunday, July 28, 2013, 1pm – 4pm
Accessibility: Shameless Grounds has a few steps leading up to their front entrance, but their back entrance is accessible, look for the black gate with the standard blue accessible sign. The bathroom in Shameless is a single unisex room that locks.
Parking: Street parking available, no meters.
Transit Options: The #73 Metro bus stops at Lemp Ave. @ Utah, which is 256 ft. away from Shameless Grounds, according to Google.
Food options: Shameless has vegan, vegetarian and meat-centric options available on their menu. Several items on their menu also look to me to be gluten-free, but as I don’t follow a gluten-free diet I cannot say so for sure. http://shamelessgrounds.com/menu
I am a long-time lurker so I don’t have a commenting handle I can direct people to, but my Twitter is @CaitlnMoriarity if people want to connect with me beforehand. A friend and fellow Awkwardeer will be co-hosting with me. We will have a sign that says “Awkward Meetup” on it.

Have a great time. And if you’d like to arrange your own meetup:
- Choose a time & date
- Choose a venue
- Let me know when & where
- I will post it
- People will (hopefully) come!
Om my gosh. Oh my gosh. I am a longtime lurker and have not had enough gumption to de-lurk but I am incredibly excited for this meet-up. I will definitely come to it. I didn’t even think that there would be an awkardeer meet-up so close to me. This is a welcome surprise.
I’m excited you’re excited! I’m so glad to meet another Awkwardeer in person.
Do we have enough people who would be interested in a New Orleans meet up? I’d be down to organize if so.
Yay STL & yay Shameless Grounds!!!
Hooray for STL! I’ve never been to Shameless Grounds. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it! 🙂
This is awesome! Ill be there!
I’m a lurker except for this comment ahaha. I’m really excited to see we’re doing an STL meetup… unfortunately I can’t make it, have a prior engagement. I just wanted to say that if it goes well, I hope you have it again! Hopefully my schedule will work then.
How silly is this, I thought this was the 29th because I’m horrible with numbers. But I happened to be there out on the patio eating lunch during this time… AND my girlfriend who works at Shameless was asked to work this extra shift because there were a couple groups meeting… BUT it still didn’t click!!! I’m so frustrated with myself! And we left early because it was a beautiful day and she has beautiful bosses and they let her take off and we went on a beautiful motorcycle ride. So if anyone noticed two chicks on bikes that was us and I’m bummed I forgot but really hope there is another meet up!!
