Meta Cafe is Back Next Friday, June 6th

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.

 

Meta Cafe is Tonight!

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!

 

Meta Cafe Relaunches

Well…it’s been too long friends, but I’m pleased to announce that Meta Cafe will be relaunching as a monthly event starting Friday May 2nd. 

Starting next month we’ll be hosting Meta Cafe every 1st Friday of the month, from 8 p.m. to midnight.  The night is designed to give you a place to connect and meet new people in the Erie area in a fun, social space. 

You can make the night as involved or laid back as you like–grab a latte at our coffee bar and surf the web on your laptop via our free wireless internet hotspot.  If you’re feeling a little more sociable, you can grab a table and play some games with friends (or strangers even!), pick up the drum sticks and jam on Rock Band, or try a game of Wii Tennis on our two 42″ Plasma TVs.  In addition, we’ll be hosting Volleyball freeplay in our gym, and LAN Halo 3 games in multiple rooms throughout the building. 

So mark the date–May 2nd and bring a friend! The first Friday of the month just got a whole lot more interesting.

Thanks For Coming to Meta Cafe

Hey, Thanks to all of you who came out last Friday night.  Our open house was a great success because of you.  I met so many new people and saw some new connections being made this weekend, which is very cool. 

Remember, the cafe can be used for internet access from 9-5, Monday to Friday, and if you’d like to set up a study group or meeting there, simply call the church office and request a date and time from Annie and we’ll have a team member come and open up the building for you. 

Stay tuned right here for more information on when the next Meta Cafe event will be held–but in the mean time, here are some pics from last Friday’s get together.
