It seemed amusing, so we went to the xkcd comic meetup in a tiny park in Cambridge. A mob scene, but not a scary one. Some amusing things to see:

awesome signs:




A tape measure extending contest:


A lot of people on a climbing structure at the coordinates in question:


Instant t-shirts:


There were a lot of people, some of whom I knew, and a lot of very nifty t-shirts and possibly some sort of point, which I didn't see.

Weird place and time we live in.
