As most of you frequent attendees know, we have had some issues with the Tuesday Meets. As such, I am stepping up to help coordinate and plan these events. For the winter meets we will continue to use Stouts Irish Pub in Falcon Heights. After some success with a rotational meet I will also be trying to set one for south of the 394 area. I will personally contact the places we are going and TRY to reserve spots for us. Now here's where you come in. We have had a lot of hand raisers who don't show. I understand that if something comes up, you can't make it. However for this to run smoothly I will need concrete numbers of people planning to attend by 5pm. Also these establishments are businesses. Please be courteous and order something. The whole idea is to get people to come, have a good time and keep coming back. This is how the community grows and we get to know each other. As for summer meets, Surly Brewing Co seems to be working fine. Although I will also try to set up rotations and will keep the thread updated weekly if cancellations or alternate locations come into play.

Lots of big words..... It's my pleasure, I'll update this every Monday or Tuesday for where we will be going that week. For example: 25 Nov - Stouts Pub, 630pm.
Coming to every tuesday night meet is a commitment to make not. Many of us have things that come up with work, deadlines that we need to meet, or something happened that we need to go back to work or VPN in. I am sure @EricS can relate First and foremost I would like to thank Neil for stepping up and taking the reign's with this. Not going to lie I am getting tired of the hand raising that has been happening. I might be guilty of it once or twice, but I don't post if I am not going to come. I do think the 5pm rule is a good rule to set because of calling the establishments for reservations as they only have so much ample space.
Thanks for the support. I'll try to get a few extra seats for people to show up, but if you know your going just say you are. Except Stouts. They don't take reserves during the week. So that will be a quick call ahead.
Sorry for the hand raising last summer, took me a bit to learn how hard it was to get out of work in time... But I may have a solution for that soon
I will be down in Fridley on Tuesday the 16th so there is a chance I might be able to make it. I'll even have my subie for once (I normally drive a honda) My wife drives the subie for AWD in winter
25 November Meeting Place: Stouts Irish Pub 1611 Larpenteur Ave W Falcon Heights, MN 55113 Time: 630pm I will be there this week. As a reminder try to let me know before 5pm if you will be attending so I can make sure to get a table. If parking is sparce, you can drive to the other side of the mall. There are more spots there. Thanks.
I can't confirm that the poncho will be there, but I'm reasonably sure I'll be there to drink beers and be young
what time do all you fages plan to arrive? I dont really care to be the lone 12 year old sitting at the bar again
yeah like 6-630 for me. I should really take the dumb dogs for a stupid walk. I count 6 so far so maybe a table for 7-8 in case others show up?
that makes @Nhibbs @tehfuzz @Ryan FailRad @Neil Wise @EricS @TMF very late to the party possibly @05CGFozzie
It's 8am for me right now, but I guess I'll stick my dick in some beers while thinking about how Im going to steal your ninja moccasins and failrad's poncho next time.
Sorry I held you hostage with my beer at the end lol. Very fun. @blueroo in case you forgot, your car is already totaled. Sell it before it's too late!
You didnt hold me up, you merly held me until I sobered up a lil bit... Bb @blueroo your car is definitely totaled you should for sure sell it to ninja slippers
