Just as long as I have advanced notice so I can plan my travel accordingly.

Which is why we did charlotte originally. Many folks were going to come up from Atl, several from Raleigh, so charlotte seemed ideal. Now that we have had a successful M&G again finally, hopefully more people will attend the next one!

I personally prefer Charlotte but that does not mean that I would not go to Raleigh.
I had such a good time at the last one so I will show up where ever!!

I selfishly would love to have one in Raleigh for my own convenience. Plus I think you'll get some new people attend from the Raleigh area,because it's in Raleigh that didn't attend the one in Charlotte. That may balance out the ones that wouldn't come in from the Charlotte area (boooo).  Hey I made the trip to Charlotte for the last one so maybe Raleigh can get some support from the peeps that are from Charlotte to make the trip this time.  Plus  if it's in Raleigh maybe some ladies and gents in Greensboro area will make the one hour or so trip to the Triangle.

Doesn't really matter to me, would love to be able to make the next one!!!

With my vast experience in planning  ( not really ) I would say Stephanie hit it. You can not please everyone.  
My suggestion is to go with where you can get the most reliable helpers. Don't stress yourself to the point you cannot enjoy the evening. Share the stress before you share the fun.

i would like for it to be in Raleigh over Charlotte. Charlotte is a lot longer drive for me to get to, Raleigh is a little shorter drive. Hopefully i will get an invite to which every city it is held in.

I missed last one because of my work schedule. What's it like to attend a Meetup? Just meet with a lady and spend more time with her?

It wouldn't hurt to change up locations.  Raleigh has it's fair share of local and visiting ladies too.

Of course Raleigh would be more convenient for me. But the primary factors are safety and discretion.
I for one pretty much trust your judgement. If you're hosting , choose the local you are most comfortable with and feel is most likely to be a success .

You already  had it in charlotte, why not raleigh agreeing with what someone else said  you may get more girls to attend...raleigh is closer to me lol

And make up any difference in the attendance. Same with guys that are local to the Triangle. And if it's going to be after summer more ladies will be visiting Raleigh than do now.

August. I will be working in the area at that time.

Either way, I will attend the next one wherever.  
I have to drive a good distance anyway, so...  Preference? Charlotte. Only because they are done on a week day night. But a vacay day could be put in this time.

I would suggest Raleigh. It would be good to mix it up. Plus I wasn't able to make it last time due to scheduling. And just out of curiosity, what type of venue do Meet and Greets take place at? If you do decide Raleigh, id consider somewhere outside the main part of raleigh (i.e. Morrisville, Brier Creek, etc....).

Raleigh would be my first choice, but I'm likely being greedy

I do see a fair amount of touring ladies in charlotte, BUT I've also seen a ton say they didn't do as well and plan to check out raleigh instead next time. Additionally, Raleigh and the surrounding area seems to have a lot more ladies. It's also easier for anyone from eastern NC/the triad/etc to make it to Raleigh, especially on a weeknight. Objectively, I think going for Raleigh would be more successful since this would still be fairly soon after the last MnG in Charlotte.  

This will be the Triangle area's first M&G and I'm beyond stoked (did I just say stoked, lol?)!!! Triangle peeps (and beyond) let's support this event 150%. Alii asked, we answered and she listened.

lol... One of my family members lives there anyway, so a bonus.

Count me in!

I am sure it will be great. I hope that I can make it. Time will tell.

How does one go about getting an invite?

Just a hop skip and a jump from The Mansion.

Awesome! I'd like to attend I'll keep an eye out

Im looking forward to the next NC M&G!

I couldn't make the last one. I can only do Charlotte and would love a Monday,Tuesday,or Wensday.
