No, there's a lot of great feedback so far for the third Friday. Im thinking maybe a bonus Monday meet on a different week. Most ppl work through the week and are off on weekends. Personally my work will start picking up quickly in September plus school will crank up so Mondays will be much harder. Ill bring it up to the Nissan peeps next Friday and see what interest there is for it. See how this meet even goes before we decide anything. After I get feedback from the Nissan owners I'll move forward in the next few ideas for meta and events.

I just think it shouldn't be about what one person decides. Right now it seems like you guys have it set in stone that it has to be on a Friday. I'm sure everyone wants to be apart of it, therefore we have to be willing to try and meet everyone's accommodation's. I know we can't make everyone happy, but doing it other days of the week isn't going to kill anyone.

Yeah most people do work Mondays but they also get off around 5 or 6. So it could be a 7:00 meet. And yeah we all work the next day but it's not like we are getting smashed and staying out until 3 in the morning.

I'm just thinking that some of you need to start being a little more open to suggestion so that other's may be able to participate in our activities.

I'm down for whatever. A Saturday or Sunday lunch might be easy for people too.

It's nice to see open minds! I don't care if it's a "meet" or not i'll just hit a few of you up on the days i'm in town and we can hang. I thought only chicks always had to put the label on stuff, this "meet" stuff get's out of hand it seems like!

[dragginbody87]

As long as it's at least 3 Z's so I can label it a posse.

^There's the link to the discussion before anything was nailed down. I didn't grab anyone and hold a gun to their head and say "It's Friday at Mellow Mushroom or else!!!" That is what was decided by the group at the time.

I don't think it's right for a group to decide something and one person come in and make a fuss over something they had no part in. I said it could be discussed and see what's up and even have that as an extra meet/hangout or whatever label you want to put on it.

Also I was asked my a few of these guys to spearhead these events and to take control with it. So, that's what I did.

I only though chicks made a big deal out of nothing... sheesh

Now if everyone wants to start doing it on Monday that's fine. I'll wait to hear a place and times and see if I can make it and won't make a big fuss if I can't...

I mean it's just whatever, but it seems as if there's a few people down for other nights. That's all i'm saying.

Well nothing says there has to be "one" night to hangout. Spearhead it bro. Name a place and time and we'll all try to make it! I'm down for more then one hangout. If someone can't make one, maybe they can make the other.

[dragginbody87]

I can create the facebook event next time if you don't like the pressure.

We'll figure it out month by month. Nothing has to be set in stone.

Create a facebook event and post it here and we'll show up. Just like Field of Dreams.

The only reason I make it a reoccuring event like that is word will spread easy that way. If you have a meet/hangout whatever (not putting a label on it) consistently on the same night (usually at the same place) then ppl catch on and more come out and it grows. Our core Nissan guys here pass on to other Nissan owners "hey we meet here at this time every month.." it's easier for ppl to get there then if it changes every month.

Like I said, if everyone wants to do Monday or Friday or both or a thousand meets a month, that fine. I'm keeping to this one and if it fails after a while, then less I have to worry about lol

I'm not trying to make a fuss just stating that some people can't make it on Fridays. I'm not the only one. And as far as me, I travel with my job 8 months out of the year, Wednesday thru Sunday, every week. So yeah i'd like to be able to attend certain functions and outings as much as anyone would!

I've known Keith for quite a few years too since I used to take nightlife pictures there at Sammy's with J Spencer back in the day for The Toe. Small world.

I knew I must have met you at some point. It'll be good to catch up once we can meet again.

You make your job sound so terrible, lol. But I've been there (the 3am part, not smashed), and it takes a real toll on your schedule.

Easy does it. No need for this level of emotion. We're all wanting the same thing.

This is very, very true. This is why a fixed time/date is a good idea and why most of the other organizations do it this way. The s2k guys decide a different date and place each time and it's hard to find them if you're new. Not to mention it skips months too when nothing is decided. The Subaru guys keep it the same date, but a different place. That seems to work as it gives everyone a voice and creates communication in the group.

What I was suggesting was something in addition to the monthly dinner, which would be a monthly lunch. You could keep this on a Monday or Tuesday and it would give an opportunity for those that had a Friday night engagement to still come to a meet, even if it is just for 30 minutes to an hour.

Yup, it's a proven fix in the car world. Usually the car guys know where the next meet is and can inform others where it's at. All others need to remember is the reoccuring date, call up their friend who is a constant at going to these things and be like "what's up dude? It's about to be the third Friday, where is the Nissan hangout this time. I'm going to make this one."

Believe me, around here... there cannot be to many import or Nissan events. Way to many classic and muscle car stuff lol. We are a growing breed and need to expand and take over anyway lol
