Always vibrant and filled with energy, a familiar face at our meetups over many years, and just an all-around great person.
Today, we share the very sad news that our dear friend @princedavid.bsky.social (David Maiman) has passed away in a tragic car accident.

After close to 4 years of operating on Meetup.com and dealing with numerous changes which have proven to be very unpopular and detrimental to group organizers, the SPNYC admin team has decided to begin the process of migrating all further event organization efforts to Heylo, a more favorable community event organization platform.
Over the process of this month (August 2025), we will be winding down all activity on Meetup.com, and are urging all current & prospective members on our page to migrate over to our brand-new Heylo group page to receive information on any and all future events hosted by Switch & Play NYC.
By September 2025, the Switch & Play NYC Meetup.com group page will be retired and set to private.
