We don't know where the fuck to go every Tuesday

[JET]

Post #66 has the link to the # for the Champps.

If you mix it up a bit and do some outside/park type events a few times and maybe come over to Maple Grove, I might be able to make it out for once. St Cloud is a bit of a drive for Tuesdays but a random differ from the standard place once in a while might bring out some new faces. It is good to see the interest and a lot of ideas. Good luck.

their is a majors on 394 across from the fuddrucker chris from map suggested...mnscc had their weds winter meets at that fudds the parking was great the lot is huge, across the lot is a Bacross, across the freeway is Majors and JJ's clubhouse (they have pool, darts, video games)..im up for any majors though....make it a 7:30 meet time or something would be great..I also like the park idea!..being outside ftw!

[Halon]

St. Cloud? Who lives anywhere near there?

I won't be making it this week either way because I leave for Georgia again tomorrow. But my vote still stands for either a centrally located Majors, or the Champps if it has a patio.

[Kracka]

I won't make it this week either, I'll be floating around the Caribean. I also like the idea of a Majors or Champps though.

[AJ]

I still vote for a DQ or something simple where the focus is hanging out by the cars, not trying to keep a group together at Champs or Majors. But seems that beer is the winning vote over everything else.

Goddamn, wtf is with you guys? I haven't had time to read this thread yet, but we set a new place and everyone has to whine and bitch about it. I won't be here next week so you guys can go wherever you want. When I get back, we shall lay the smack down and decide a proper place to meet.

Fuck it, I'm going to the old applebee's whether they're open or not!

[scheides]

PS--why the hell would we meet at 6 or 7pm, I'll *never* be able to make it, and a ton of you never would either! The reason it's at 9pm is so that everyone can get whatever shit they need to get done and then head out for some fun.

[A//// Guy]

It was 9 because the specials at bees start at 9.

[asshanson]

I am for starting at 8pm to 9pm. Much earlier and it's too close to work.

[DoughtCom]

I just ate at a Major's right off of 394 and Louisiana. It's pretty close to the old location, has outside seating and the food is decent. Wherever we decide I would like to at least be able to sit outside, that would be uber pimp!

[JET]

I like the 8pm start, I would come to more of them.

[Swifty1638]

Ok, so how about we all go to the major's off 394 this tuesday, at 8pm, and atleast try it. If we don't like it, we can always try another place.

Like peter said, the 9:00 time was chosen due to food and drink specials starting at that time. Not for any other reason.

"We" didn't chose, a couple of you chose. And obviouslly we are all finding some discrepencies with your choice. So now, "we" are choosing somewhere, and are trying to get it so we can meet in the middle, to try and maximize participation by hearing everyone out. A couple things I see that are things we are looking for are:
1) Ability to be outside: Whether this be a park, a parking lot, or a patio.
2) Food: Everyone wants to be able to get something to eat.
3) Alcohol: A very large majority of the regulars who have consistently atteneded, thus proving they will continue to attend, have said beer or other alcohol being available would be good.
4) Location A centralized location. (ie: Golden Valley, Crystal, Brooklyn Park)
5) No Age Limit: Somewhere that even those of us not of age will be able to come along.

I agree with the Majors at 394 and Louisianna. Not too far from the old location. Starting at 8 would also be nice to help offset and additional driving time incurred by anyone else.

My vote is for that. Again I won't be there this Tuesday though, as I will be in Georgia.

[Swifty1638]

Major's fits all of those criteria

1) A patio is not my idea of being outside, I'd rather chill around the cars and be able to move around and mee tothers opposed to the regular groups staying together

2) Not everyone wants a $10-$20 tab every tues at majors

3) Beer and cars... if beer is such a priority just plan it for a bar.

4) Cental to the NW & N burbs peeps is what we have, but since other don't speak up on that fuck'm.

5) We will run into this with majors. As I recal, Even at Bennigans I couldn't be in various sections without ID that showed I was 21+. I think many of the patios for these places are considered part of the bar and fall under the same rules. May not be for majors, but maybe a call abotu a large group and their rules would be the way to go.

[Halon]

Exactly, man who was the smart dude who first brought up Major's???

[turbotalon1g]

i won't be attending majors, drinking isn't what this event is about, it was about meeting up with car guys. Also i don't feel like driving across the cities to meet with everyone. GV was far enough for me.
But whatever makes you all happy i am down for

[Halon]

Here is my thoughts on it...

I understand this is a car site, but I don't feel we are obligated to make our meet revolve 100% around our cars, and limit ourselves to a parking lot where we stand around our car. We typically all drive there, hang out in the parking lot until everyone shows up, we then go inside, eat talk and enjoy ourselves, then leave together and gather in the lot again for awhile, then go home. So we still have plenty of "standing around the cars" time. But we don't spend our entire 2 hour evening OOOhing and AWWWing over the same cars every week. That gets old.

2) Not everyone wants a $10-$20 tab every tues at majors

Ordering a double cheeseburger meal at Culvers isn't going to cost that much less then an order of wings or quesadilla or a basket of frieds at Majors.

3) Beer and cars... if beer is such a priority just plan it for a bar.

It is something that a majority of the regulars want. When you come to Applebees, 80% of us have a beer in front of us. You make it sound as if our world revolves around beer, or maybe we're getting hammered, but that's not it. Most have 1 or 2 beers over a 2 hour period. It's something we want accessible because a majority of the regulars want it. Might as well plan it somewhere that has it right?

4) Central to the NW & N burbs peeps is what we have, but since other don't speak up on that fuck'm.

Yup!!

I will give them a call and see what the rules are. If this is going to be an issue, then maybe we have to consider other options. I don't forsee a problem, but I've been wrong plenty of times before. I will call and ask.
