MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

[bwframe]

...Where could we go though?

That should be a topic of our meeting. My first thoughts are out of Bloomington city limits. Ellettsville?

 

[japartridge]

Ellettsville would work for me, as it's very close to home! we shall discuss!

 

[ColdSteel223]

2 things:
1. you all still want me around?
2. Is there any parking fees in the city lot across the street? I know you need a permit between 7 and 5 IIRC, but The wife and I have been parking over there for the last couple months on alternating Thursday's to listen to a friend of the family play jazz...

A. Sure, you haven't renounced bacon or something equally horrific have you?

B. Unknown about the parking.

C. I agree on the reevaluation of location. Price increase, parking and taxes are to much at once.

Month in, month out I keep thinking this will be the time I finally meet up with you all. But it seems like there's some family or work thing that comes up that crimps my style...especially when I think of trying to get to downtown Bloomington from down this way. Since I'm not a contributing part of the group, I know my preferences will not and probably should not pull much weight. But if you guys decided on a location more convenient to us Bedford/Mitchell folks, I think I could join up.

Thanks for your consideration.

 

[ColdSteel223]

Maybe we could/should setup a rotating location? Martinsville, somewhere in Monroe Co, & somewhere in Bedford?

Is there any interest in a Greene Co location? Brown Co? Johnson Co? Owen Co?

Am I over thinking this?

You are not the first from that area to inquire or even show up occasionally at our meetings. While we would be happy to have you in our group, you are more than free to start your own. I can readily think of at least a couple INGOers from down there who might attend, maybe more if you solicited. Pick a different regular day of the month, you might collect some or all of us from the Btown area.

I'm sure I don't have to mention that convenience is a relative thing. We have one or two regular attendees who drive for nearly an hour from the north to downtown Bloomington to attend. Myself, I'm 20 plus minutes each way, Bedford turns that into 45min/hour depending on traffic, location, cops, tickets. etc.

All that said, pending discussion with the rest of the group, we are looking to change locations. Could be a location south of Bloomington, near the highway, wouldn't be that much more time than the traffic/parking of going downtown?

Sounds like we have a lot to talk about. Good that the downtown business gets to hear about why they are possibly running off their business.

I wouldn't presume to make any demands. I've followed this thread for several months and it looks as though you guys have a pretty steady group. I was just making a suggestion for the group's consideration...but I would hate it if you made some change that would cause your regular group to fall apart just to placate some guy you've never met before and has never shown up before. There's no way I would want to be the cause of that.

From my house, I'm about an hour to the north side of down town. (Bloomington traffic, ya know....) We can get to the stuff on the west side in about 45mins---if the construction is done.

 

[bwframe]

I wouldn't presume to make any demands...

Come on up and make all the demands you want. Convince the folks to come further south and they will. PhilO is the president, maybe you can sell him?

We are just an odd handful of kinda like minded folks. Our monthly meetings are often way more social than official. (Wouldn't want you to drive all that way to think this is serious bidness.)

Surely you jest???

 

[ColdSteel223]

Nope, and don't call him Shirley.

As far as I am concerned PhilO is the president.

 

[HICKMAN]

7PM, right?

The boy is gonna be mad at me, since he has football practice until 7

If anyone in Beford area wants to carpool, let me know.

I'll be working out at Anytime Fitness prior and will probably leave for Bloomington around 6:20.

 

[bwframe]

Yes 7:00, but stragglers are not uncommon. We have kind of got in the habit of not ordering the main course until 7:30. It actually seems as though the ordering and food delivery goes better without the whole table's order going in a all at one time. The staff appears to be flumaxed by large orders.

 

[rhino]

Can't make it this time. I vote for somewhere in Crawfordsville next month. Hah!

 

[riverman67]

Is this on thursday night?
If sdo I may be able to make it if I can get the old woman out of the house

Bring her along, we are mostly harmless... .. mostly.... ...some of the time.

Really! I can't leave you unsupervised for a minute and you're out causing trouble.

I don't know whether to quote Sherman ("if nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve") or make a presidential decree that all future meetings will be held at Burl's reloading room.

 

[riverman67]

So it is tonight ?

 

[HICKMAN]

So it is tonight ?

Yes sir!

 

[riverman67]

Thanks

 

[bwframe]

Yes sir!

Hickman and Riverman67
Just like old times.
