Hey all, I'm visiting Sapporo through August 5 (solo trip, driving around Hokkaido) and figured I'd test whether the fediverse has enough density here for an IRL meetup.

About me: maker, business systems, homelabber. Happy to talk travels, crafting, homelab, nightlife, or whatever over beers.

Plan: I'll be at the language exchange event at Bar Ocho this Sunday (Aug 2), 6:15 to 8:15pm. It's ¥600 plus one drink order (drinks from ¥700), 6F of the Dai-2 Kanko Kaikan Building near Susukino Station. Join the event if that's your thing, or swing by after and we can grab a drink. I'll be the white guy in a beanie. If Sunday doesn't work but you're around before the 5th, comment or DM and we'll figure something out.

If literally nobody is in Sapporo, feel free to use this thread to tell me what I should eat while I'm here instead.

Update

It appears the meetup 6 mo ago has lapsed and the bar is currently closed. Oh well, I'll hang out for a bit and see if anyone shows up.

Eat the grilled lamb (jingasukan), and the various local ramen they're known for (muroran, curry, etc). Oh and the beer gardens are good. I think I went to kirin's.
