Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wiki Gala 2024

The Wiki Gala and fashion show is a planned gathering between the local Wikimedia NYC community and visitors from the global Wikimedia Foundation on the evening of Tuesday March 5 at Prime Produce.

This is a sequel to the March 2023 Grand Central Salon and the March 2022 Wiki-Tent Brunch.

Wiki-fashion show
You're encouraged to come dressed in your finest Wikimedia clothing and accessories (bags, buttons, even books), or clothing connected to the topics you edit on wiki projects, show off your getup on the runway and tell the origin story of how you got them.
 * In addition to explicit "wiki" swag, the Wiki Gala also welcomes you to show off clothing and accessories related to areas you have edited on, whether that be unbuilt NYC Subway extensions, late 19th century cricket, postage stamps of micronations, or possibly even culturally important topics.
 * We may also have a t-shirt / swag creative design live session

Lightning talks
''Add your 3-5 minute lightning talk here! Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the larger free culture movement.''
 * Possibilities for a Wiki.nyc civic data portal--Pharos (talk) 02:44, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Wiki Gala Week tours
We'll have some Wiki Gala Week tours with out-of-town visitors on other days, see the talk page for details and RSVP there

Notably, there will be two tours of the Grolier Club, on Wednesday March 6 and Friday March 8, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

 * There's no chance I'll be able to make it from Florida. If you had an online chat through Discord or Xoom, or something like that, I'd try to enter remotely -User:DanTD (talk) 15:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
