I'm calling the following method (using OAuth2) to return my upcoming
events:

https://api.meetup.com/2/events?member_id=self&page=100

I'm finding that the API is not returning "venue" properties for all
of my events. Specifically, I am part of the "106 Miles" group (http://
www.meetup.com/106miles/) and find that all events after the first 4
in the result are missing venues. For example:

{
"rsvp_limit": 206,
"visibility": "public",
"status": "upcoming",
"maybe_rsvp_count": 0,
"utc_offset": -28800000,
"id": "dbbpdcyqdbcb",
"time": 1328148000000,
"venue_visibility": "public",
"event_url": "http://www.meetup.com/106miles/events/
dbbpdcyqdbcb/",
"yes_rsvp_count": 2,
"description": "...",
"name": "Illusions / 106 MILES in Palo Alto",
"group": {
"id": 1684727,
"group_lat": 37.4199981689453,
"name": "106 Miles",
"group_lon": -122.129997253418,
"join_mode": "open",
"urlname": "106miles"
}
},

However, when I visit the event URL, I can see the venue. Also, if I
retrieve the info for just this event, the venue is included.

Any ideas on how to fix or work around this? I don't want to turn
around and retrieve the specific info for each event because that will
chew up my API limit. The old events API might be an option, but it
doesn't appear to return a sufficient number of events (I ask for 20
in the console and it only returns 5).

Hi Todd,

This does indeed look like a bug. I did a quick test and it looks like it only affects recurring events, events that are scheduled on a regular basis. I'll put a ticket in for this.
