I added a couple new cases on my chip wall and pulled everything down to reorganize. Here are the meetup commemorative chips in my collection.
All in at the Alamo - Great time held at a hotel in San Antonio. @David O and @CraigT78
Batalla Sonora (I didn't attend)
Battle of Ontario (I didn't attend)
Bedlam in Baltimore - @krafticus Great time, stayed with k9dr, attendees included the MD crew, some of the Mass/NH crew, and upstate NY crew. Krafticus has a great room, it was under reconstruction at the time after the floods in MD and he was a dude for holding it then! I believe this was the second official meetup there, but Krafticus has a good ongoing local tournament/game crew.
Bounty Battle on the Border (Mass/NH). Held at Bergs, then ChickenRobs during happier times before the NAGB blow up. Mainly the MA/NH, MD and a few of the traveling regulars. Some of the craziest poker ever.
Chateau de Noix Uncorked - @bivey Bivey is one of the best guys, and has created some pretty awesome sets. This was his first large scale site wide meetup, but very
successful.

Derby City Showdown - Courage's meetup was one of the best reocurring meetup prior to the fallout of the NAGB. Lots of people from all over the country, great poker. One year I took a trip to the Bourbon distilleries, one year to the Louisville Slugger factory. Lots of fun. Every year, the warmup day included a trip to the racetrack.
Lone Star Roundup - Texas Meetup held by TenPercenter at his brother-in-law's house in Dallas area. Did it two years, the. other year at a hotel, but I can only find this one chip and my sample set of the set that was created for the meetup. Awesome design on the set!
Mad Town Throwdown - @Trihonda meetup in Madison, WI. Was held every year except 2020 due to Covid. He has a great venue, and is convenient for me to get to. I've had good success in the tournament...Iwon the main event there two years, and come in third place two years.
Madness in Michigan - @detroitdad and crew...Bills a GREAT host. I'm lucky enough to have occasion to spend a lot of time in Michigan for work and played regularly in the Michigan Crew's game...there is a very strong group of guys there that is awesome to play with.
MD/DC/VA - I didn't attend this, but I think this was the first MD meetup....I'm sure @krafticus would know more. He gave me this awesome chip.
Meet at the Suite - Las Vegas...the Zombies @Poker Zombie @Mrs Poker Zombie were the instigators of this meet up for some folks who were going to Las Vegas. They were kind enough to give me this chip! I see the Zombies at meetups, they were a co-host at SSSS and are legends at Meetup at the Post.
Pissd n Brok at Bluff City (Memphis)...@payback Payback hosted a meetup at his new digs in Memphis a couple years ago. Lots of fun, and Bill is an awesome host...the best part of playing at his game is that he is an expert dealer and moves any game along...he's always a fixture at WCB.]
Shootup at the Post - @Mr Tree's house in Atlanta. An awesome poker room, and venue, an awesome guy, a HUGE attendance and one of the best times. As you can see from the commemorative chips edge spots, Tom spares no expense. I've attended each year, and have no idea where the first chip went???
Sticks Stars Straddles & Shenanigans - @Ben Ben and the Zombies @Poker Zombie @Mrs Poker Zombie host in Murfreesboro. So disappointed that Ben is not still a fixture here. He was certainly a fixture at meetups and was an exciting poker player and all around good dude. The Zombies are great company.
Suicide Queen Melee - @k9dr 's meetup in Florida. Several years now, and the last meetup before COVID. February 2020. My last trip for anything before being stranded by COVID. Best host, best venue, great sets, several years running now. I've had good luck here...Main event champ and second place.
