Weekly meet thread - Read the last page for info!

Complaining? I'm complaining about people switching it within 24 hours of damn meet, this includes Scheides. You can get an attitude with me but we'll see how far that goes son. All I'm trying to do is make it easier for people to fucking go to the right place at the right time. This was constructive criticism and if you would read my damn post again you would see I'm on your side. If you guys want to get all creative and shit and change the meet every fucking week lets make it easier for people to know where to go and when.

Applebee's not only worked because it was always the same spot, but because it wasn't in the NW corner of the twin cities loop also. It's gotten to the point where most of us in the northern area simply stopped going because it's too long of a drive during the week.

We are trying to speak up, and fix that, in a civil and mature manner. So lets try to keep it that way.

I thought the area we went to last night was much more centralized. Mlomker and Shane probably had the longest drive as they were coming from DB, but that was was maybe a 20min drive for you guys? Most everyone else was probably anywhere from 5-15min drive.

That's it. Just trying to find something more centralized. That's it!!!

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.

Maybe we need to edit the title of the thread to just Wed. night meets: check last post/page for info. and like DC said when the person sees the bolded & colored info they will know where the group is going and then scheides can make a post on where he is going :wink:

I had to drive 30 mins from savage, still less time more fun than driving from blaine to plymouth.

Haha what attitude Shawn? You are the only one that seems pissed because you came in looking for people and then left without trying to get ahold of anyone. lol

This was talked about a week ago from tuesday, I thought we all agreed on Chammps... Scheides didnt see that and edited his post yesterday.

Just saw Shawn's post now too. We didn't change anything withing 24hrs did we? I thought we had decided on Champps last week pretty much...

[Halon]

So, what should next week be then? Lets figure it out ahead of time again, and get it put up in red bold letters to ease all the tension!

Couple ideas...

-Champps New Brighton
-Aculpolco New Brighton
-Joe Sensers Roseville


And maybe a Mod can simply change the title of this thread to something like
Wednesday night meets - Check last page for time/loc

might be a good start?

The problem lies in the fact that I am usually leaving work or like last night and most nights going forward I'll be leaving my GF's house because of the location (WHICH IS FINE I COULD CARE LESS WHERE IT IS) and will have to look it up on my phone.

I'm just trying to make it easier on people to find where it is, that is all. If we're changing not only the location every week but also the time I just wish it was easier for people to find out where it is, especially when everyone is posting in this thread with their opinion.

[A//// Guy]

I dont remember us ever changing a meet location the night of. Typically people post up about the meet a day or 2 ahead of time if its typical OC or the routine, but when we mix things up we try to decide a week in advance.

I vote sensors next week.

[Halon]

I like your bold red idea. So when it's decided where the meet will be, whoever just post it up in big red bold letters, maybe include the date for clarity.

Would that help?
