Just a little change of pace from the boring and food-less dealership. At panara bread we can eat, drink and talk business...anybody in for this? It's probably closer for some of you too. 
Hey, we are going to have Nov meeting at Old Chicagos (N. Academy and Aust Bluffs)

I'm not much of a panera bread guy, but if you come up with a couple different choices to choose from and picked the winner, that would be cool.

Can anyone confirm that there is a place for us to meet at Old Chicago?

Have we not had x-mas parties there?? Would that confirm it.
Im Game for a Location Change. ( i live at the Far south west part of town)
although we try this every year, im happy to help and give my input.
my Criteria
1. Centrally Located (I-25)
2. Good space (room for 15+/- people)
3. Reasonable Prices, Selection of food. ability to not buy anything
I think Pizza would get old quickly.. but maybe not, i eat it once a week anyway
The issues that we have had in making this a reality is everyone has a different idea of the perfect place, and we all live in different parts of the city.
One solution would be have the meeting at the/a dealership, and have a non club sponsord Social meeting before or after at a place we choose online, or at the meeting, and can change as needed.

I think that back in the heyday of the club when there were 25 people at the meetings this would not have worked. I have not seen more than twelve people at a meeting in two years, I see people get tables for 10 at restaurants all the time.
If we go one place every week, the food will get old...doesn't really matter where it is. I would like to stay away from places that are normally quiet, just because if I am trying to have dinner, I don't want a bunch of Toyota club guys having a meeting next to my table. I think this would have been an issue at Panera bread. Buffalo Wild wings would be a good example of a place that is too loud. I think Old C's would be a good starting point.
Just my .02

I am just throwing this out here but if we try a place it doesn't mean that it's going to be the site for the rest of the meeting's forever. It's just a trial run. Off the subject and not try to stir up trouble, but I was wondering why we don't have the meetings the friday night before the trail run. I was just wondering. I may have asked chuck that question but I can't remember what he said.
The panera bread on n. academy has a separate meeting room with doors that groups can reserve. And right next door is Extreme Pizza that has better pizza than O.C.'s (in my opinion) and has beer on tap too.

So I guess that makes it 2 for panera and 2 for old chicago a dead heat right now. I hope we don't get some of you trying to vote twice under a different name or anything.
I will vote for Old Chicago.
As for having the club meeting on Friday, I know for myself it would more difficult to not get home until 9:00pm on Fridays vs. Tuesdays.
