Run over a couple hicks while screaming praise allah then use their bodies for weight over the rear tires..... or get sandbags.

I'm going to do El Rodeo tonight, simply because I've to DB, then to Brooklyn Center, then Lakeville, then back to BC, now home, and then have to drive somewhere for the meet. If not given a choice I'd still go to Champps, but I'm pretty burned out on driving right now.

I'm still at DB. Just started work on the "hot" tune. 442 at the moment.

Dang, good luck, that's a little bit of power. Scheides was kindof right about the meets jumping around all the time. The GV old applebees location, if it's a restaurant again, should be the spot. It was always the best, but methinks the days of 50 people and all the shops representing 10 knives deep for a weekly meet are over. So sad, perhaps with some uber organization, one could plan a large meet like that but it'd have to be way out to make sure everyone could make it. And none of this 7pm weaksauce. 9 pm or no pm.

It's funny how the people who the meet location inconveniences the most are the ones bitching about it "moving all the time". I've driven to meets on the west side for who knows how long and never once complained, that's nearly an hour in the car on a weeknight. The least you guys (you, Spaz, anyone else that has thrown a fit over this) could do is show a little courtesy and lenience for once.

Don't forget that I have a fan now, too.

I'm at chammps and it's 7:30 and I just noticed all the n00bs that are too lame to drive 10 miles. Guess I'll go elsewhere and get something good to eat.

I dunno what that means. But yeah we got there at about 7:05 and Matt D. was already there with a table. And Peter and Nina showed up just after us. Then brownman and his wife. Then followed mlomker and shane.

I'm going to look into Joe Sensor's, see if free bingo is on Wednesday. If so that'd be amazing!!

[Matt D.]

There have been 5 of us here since 7:15. Good game.

[turbotalon1g]

^7pm does kinda suck, but some do work early. Also I think those days are over at least until spring maybe.

I made it there at about 8pm, took 30 mins from boyer trucks parking lot in Savage.

Good time, great laughs.

[turbotalon1g]

^Both are good meet spots for summer.

[Halon]

As for the time, 9pm sucks for those of us that wake up early. We could maybe try bumping it back a little, like 730 for starters next week?

I think it was more aimed at happy hour.

I also stopped by and walked though twice at 7:30 and didn't see anyone.

[turbotalon1g]

I was calling them as I walked in, and I saw them so said "shut it I see you."

If you look forward when you walk, as you go thru the first door look thru the giant window and you would of seen B man.
Turn up later and you would of seen another B man.

Nice little spot.

We were near the patio underneath the TV. Maybe next time I'll post up my number so anyone who cant find us can text one of us and we can tell u where we are at exactly??

My cell is 612 384-1425. If anyone ever shows up and can't find us, just call or text. If I'm there I'll let you know where we are at.

I was just upset because of how confusing this has gotten + the fact that some people were dropping out because it was too far out of their way. I know I'm an exception but we're very lucky to live in such a small city. Driving 30 minutes to hang out with friends shouldn't be a hard thing to swallow. Either you do it or stop bitching about it, when I'm too busy I don't make it but I don't bitch about it.

This shit where we're changing the time and location every week is worse than anything else I think. Back in the day when it was applebees and just applebees we had good turnouts because people knew where and when to be there no matter what. I think someone should own up to making sure everyone knows where/when it is.

A few solutions I see to make it easy on people. If we stick with the thread approach, which is somewhat irritating and hard to follow. The person designated to the task once everyone is done bitching about where it is responds with a post with red bold text of the location and time. The other option would be if EVERYONE was on facebook we could join 2008 and make a fan page for mitsustyle and create events for everyweek, but obviously that won't work.

I don't see what the big deal is. I don't go to meets every week but I can confidently say I know when and where the meet is every week regardless. Also, saying the meet changes EVERY week is far from the truth, considering some weeks there isn't a meet because no one is interested even when it was at OC week after week.

Any person who takes on the job of being "meet coordinator" will be hated. You can't please everyone, any location/day/time that is not convenient for someone will instantly receive ridicule. Who wants to deal with that?

Last night we went somewhere new and still had 9 people show up. If that's so bad then please PLEASE show me where the problem lies.

[A//// Guy]

Shawn you knew we were going to be there, you have my number and brandons I assume, why didnt you call?

When I got there I didnt see matt or brandon right away, so I asked the hostess where Matt was seated. Communication goes both ways...

I dont get how all you people that are complaining about moving around can say anything at all? In the summer we go to Porkys and Wagners, but no one complains about that. lol

Also the title of this thread is OC, but yet scheides complained we moved to Chammps this week, yet he goes to El rodeo? lol umm pot meet kettle guys.

Also good laughs for sure last night. Patty matty you should get the stroganoff next time.
