My Thoughts

Time-
I think weekdays would be the worst time/turn-out due to both traffic and scheduling after work.
Not to mention a dark parking lot in winter.
Wouldn't Saturday afternoon be best? :confused:

Place-
Meeting at a restaurant on a weekday night doesn't make sense to me; as most people do not eat/are going home to eat.
I'd a thought the parking lot and bar would take precedence. Waterloo seems to fall short...
It's only once a month why not make an afternoon of it? :hhmm:


I'd propose:

Cafe

Huge parking lot 'round back, great burgers, outdoor eating next to lot, nice drive

Park

Could have a barbie and BYOB, option to bring kids/dogs, camping

or make a weekend of it

The best burgers, cruiser tour though the park... :steer:
 
:flipoff2:

yeah, but it's more of a love ya & leave ya event; most get sick of standing and take off before long.

it's a busy lot too... :rolleyes:

For what it's worth, I like Mondays or Wednesdays better than Tuesdays. I have always had a problem with Tuesdays and have rarely shown up because of it. (Likely, because of my inability to show on Tuesdays, some may be wondering who the hell this is responding.)

Whatever is decided I will still show when I can.

I also like the idea of changing up the location too. Perhaps we can move to a new location and keep it there for a year or two and then move again. Beer is good.

I think Jason has a good point too about some guys not being on Mud and therefore not being aware of the change of day/location. To help with this we could pick a future date (say 6 months from now) to move the day/location and then in the meantime put the word out to everyone on Tuesdays that the day/location will be changing. I know, sounds complicated, but it really isn't that hard. ;)

I appreciate everyone's thoughts. A lot of good points on here. I'll leave this thread open until after this weekend, close it, and create a poll thread now that I have some information on what to vote for.
 
Jeff - Bear with me, I dont want a rerun of a few years ago, but I am unclear on some items.

If you are going to issue a vote, it should be done at the meeting as not all people who are on the chapter forum are members and not all members are on Mud.

That brings up another point, but I am unclear what the criteria for being a LSLC-Austin "member" is anymore. Previously, this was distinguished by paying annual dues. Now that dues are a thing of the past, I feel that the chapter needs to establish the criteria for what qualifies one as a "member". This is important because only members can vote on LSLC-Austin related items. Again, this is probably better served as a topic for a meeting.

I should dig up the by-laws, maybe this can help answer these questions.
 
Good points there JD, meeting in person to discuss a date or locale change is a good idea. This will give folks a chance to discuss the pros and cons of any proposed changes. I would encourage the discussion to cover a couple of meetings prior to calling for the question.
 
Jason, yeah me neither. I think that's a good idea to dig up the bylaws and see what it says. How about we have a special meeting next weekend to figure all this out and how to proceed. I am free next Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Having it next weekend will give folks time to plan for when they can attend. Everyone else that would like to participate in this discussion please chime in.

I am out next weekend, going fishing, but will go with the majority vote.
 
Soooooo, this Tuesday at Rudy's or what? I'm super add and can't follow the change/maybe thread.
