    ok so i think there are a few of us who live not too far from the lake and with the great atmosphere there it would be fun to have frequent meetups there. hopefully somewere near the volleyball courts haha. cute girls in Yoga pants, cool cars, the lake, sun, nice bikes. i really think it would be fun.

    thoughts?

    this could be fun - the lots get kind of full but we could have small weekly meet-ups. maybe tuesday nights or something

    My car is in no way cool, and I'm not a cute girl, but if you'd be playin volleyball I'd show up sometime. I'm not any good, I just like it.

    yeah would make the week go by faster. tuesdays it is then? it will only take a few people to make it happen so if like 3 of us like the sound of tuesdays it should be.

    7pm tuesdays...can i get an amen?

    (ill still be there tomorrow at about 7pm just to be there.)

    Be very careful, especially the younger guys.

    Lake Calhoun is where the bro rape phenomena started.

    that lot is trouble unless you either pay or have a pass to park there. i parked for like 5 minutes once, walked away from my car with my dog. cop pulls up, sees me walking back to my car, but still writes me a ticket as I am getting in it. the hick lady park patrol said "sorry, once the ticket is WROTE, it's WROTE"---I wanted to tell her to go back to school.
