Meta Cafe

If you have a facebook account and you’d like to stay up on everything that’s happening at Meta Cafe, join our facebook group here!  You can talk to people you’ve met at the cafe and discuss what you’d like to see happen at future events. 

Stay connected online, and then we’ll see you the first Friday of every month!

I can’t believe how fast this month has flown by already!  We’re quickly approaching the first Friday in June, and that means that Meta Cafe will be open from 8:00 pm to midnight that night. 

If you’ve been to Meta Cafe before, then you already know what we have planned for you.  But if you’ve never been, here’s what you can expect:

• Our cafe will be open serving premium coffees and desserts
• You are also welcome to bring your laptop and surf the web or blog via our free wi-fi connection
• We’ll be playing Wii Sports and various other Wii games on one of our 42″ Plasmas in the lobby
• Our other TV will be open all night with our crowd favorite–Rock Band.  We’ve got a few new songs downloaded every month, so make sure you check the playlist!
• Our gym will have the volleyball net set up in case you’d prefer a more active Friday night
• We’ll also be running 4v4 Halo 3 on two 60″ TV’s in the main auditorium–Bring a team or join a pick up group!

There’s always plenty to do, so spend your Friday night out at Meta Cafe.

Well, I spent the early evening yesterday testing network connections and making final arrangements for tonight’s relaunch of Meta Cafe.  Everything is coming together once again, and I’m really excited for the night to finally get here. 

For those of you new to Meta Cafe, we’re going to be offering a whole slew of things at Grace from 8:00 to 12:00.  No programing–just you, some friends, and a good time.  Here are just a few of the things we’re going to serve up tonight for you:

• the Cafe will be open, selling coffee and cappucinos, as well as an assortment of hot and cold drinks.
• Our cafe area is also a wi-fi hotspot, so if you have a lap top, you’re welcome to connect to the web–why not write a blog post from Meta Cafe?
• The cafe/lobby area will have several seating areas on hand with various board and table top games. 
• The volleyball net will be on hand in the gym if sitting around and sipping a latte isn’t your speed. 
• Rock Band will be playing on one of our plasma T.V’s in the lobby.
• Wii Sports or Mario Kart will be on the other lobby T.V.
• Halo 3 on 2 networked 60″ plasmas will be held in main auditorium.
• Call of Duty 4 networked between two projectors will be on offer in the children’s wing of the church.

So if you’re looking for something to do on a Friday night, there’s something for everyone here, whether you want to kick back and relax in the cafe, serve it up on the volleyball court, or try your hand at Rock Band and Call of Duty 4. 

A reminder–Meta Cafe is an 18 and over event–teens looking for a similar experience should come out to Surge, a monthly event with live music, sports and games held at Grace every third Sunday night of the month. 

With all of that out of the way, I’ll see you tonight sometime between 8 and midnight!  If you make it out, leave a comment below and let us know how it went!
