I'm sure if the advertised to general public about drinks and door prizes... attendance might go through the roof. Not sure they'd sell more phones or get any BB10 folks to pry loose their death grip.
It's a social thing with a little bit of "marketing" for BBMo. Most that "other stuff" is better done using the Video Tutorials on BBMo website or asking on CrackBerry.
My grip is firm. Unbreakable on my Q's and PD's. When they are done, I hope sometime in the distant future, I doubt I will make the move to Blandroid. Granted, it might mean I have no phone . . . .
Here's Kevin in better days - obviously the Pacific Maritime climate was curative. I'll throw in a James, too.
He really needs to spend more time out here on the west coast. Perhaps a little further to the south in the vicinity of the OTHER Vancouver, for a meet up. Then it would be only about 1 1/2 hours drive from me instead of 7 or 8.
seriously, if meet up can be a trouble shoot place to help BB10 guys/gals to migrate to goo-berry (e.g. provide hands on set up, data transfer using bluetooth, for exampe... and recommend few tricks - developer mode, clean cookies, set up camera, short cut keys, etc.etc. even demo of keyboard swipe that possibly new to many) would be excellent - like apple store geek bar... I am sure the money BBM paid are well spend (on beers of course). - the attendance might just go throw roof...if you put ad in local university...
noted (booed). can you kindly tell me three most excited events at the meet up? I might join you to the bright side (from the dark boring place). - I know I missed meet with all the star power of CB team and the potential win of handsets/gift... what else? many thanks.

I think you have taken the whole idea of the "Crackberry" Meetups wrongly. They were never meant to find Market demand numbers, the only people invited were/are Blackberry aficionado's.
The meetups provided a space and time for us to mingle with base Blackberry supporters, discuss Blackberry news past and present but most of all get a chance to handle and play with new product. People who went to these meetups did not go to them in order to get a free drink and some hors d'ouerves as you make it sound.
These meetups were aimed at Blackberry's base with the goal of keeping that base interested and involved and ending make a lot of us ground root sources of information to promote the new phones to friends, acquaintances and family.
This is what made the meetups exciting and even more exciting was actually winning a Keyone (for some of us anyways :-) ).

may be some of the meetup invite need to be re-written (e.g. kitchener/waterloo div ;-).
