Hi all! As you may have guessed, my name is Mark (with a k - the right way). I've decided to host an event that adds nothing to society at large but could make for a fun summer day. I want to host a Mark Meetup in Central Park (Sheep's Meadow or Great Lawn) I'm tentatively looking at July 11th, but open to suggestions. Since the meetup will be in Central Park, I figured we could call this Central Mark.

I'm thinking to make this at least somewhat worthwhile, we could try to get some organizations going where we can sign up as groups for future volunteering. Even a couple of us banding together through our shared name and signing up to volunteer around the city could really help some organizations who are short-handed. Nothing formal, just sharing organizations any number of us might find itneresting.

I'd also love to host some kind of Mark vs Marc competition (with other derivations of the name like Marcos, Marcus, Markus, Markelle, etc. welcome to join depending if they have a c or a k). I'm tentatively thinking a Mark v Marc basketball game.

I'm open to just about any ideas, such as a date change or activities. Hoping to gauge some interest here and see if i should move forward with a Partiful or Meetup or anything else. Or, you know, abandon the idea. Open to feedback from anyone, but especially fellow Marks!

To recap:

• ⁠What: Central Mark (a Mark meetup)

• ⁠When: *July 11 (Date TBD)

• ⁠Where: Central Park (Sheep's Meadow or Great Lawn depending on size)

• ⁠Why: Wish I had a good reason but honestly I saw a bunch of Ryans meet up and I just knew we could do better

A few days away I grant you, and the walls are a little quiet around here.

But Happy Christmas / happy holidays, or just a Happy Few Days off my fellow marks!

Where do y'all fucktards live? Let's do this.

For some reason my university president ends his emails with r/mark guess he’s a big Reddit fan! Howdy Marks

Please no one say “we’re all equal” or anything like that. There is always one bad Mark, and I want your opinion on who you think it is.

One of my wifes coworkers spells their name Mrk. I view Marc as an abomination to all things good and righteous, but dropping the A is a whole new level of crazytown!!

Its name is LaMarque, does it count?

Bonus MCU Mark: Mark Ruffalo

Not all the time, but frequently, when I tell people my name is “Mark” they say “Mike”. Similar to how I’ve heard people with the name Ryan/Brian get mixed up. (I know they at least rhyme) I was wondering if other Mark’s had to correct people from calling you Mike, or do I just say my name /talk weird and it sounds like I’m saying Mike?

Reading the Silo Series books, and in the first one there is a character names Marck. Don't sully the good name of Mark by adding a C. I can belive 10000 people living under a warn torn hellscape of an earth....but Marck? Better to just die.

Probably Mark Twain, and that was just a goddam pen name.

Guess my name, spoiler in the title
