I had so much fun at Sweet Tomatoes I can't wait for the next get together! How about the first week of May? It would be great to get LEO to participate. I know I am just a newbie here, but I really want to meet up again!

[EDIT - Adding the details to the top post in this thread so that they're not hard to find -- Jeff]

Re: May OC Meet
We are good to go with the Golden Corral at 665 East 7200 South in Midvale.

They gave us the private dining room, which does not add anything to the cost.

Remember the dinner is on Wednesday, May 14th at 7:00 pm, the reservation is under utahconcealedcarry.com.

So put one together. You are in charge since you made the first post!

 

[NotSoSimple]

I say go for it, but I will be in Costa Rica. Take pics!

 

[divegeek]

I'm in. Well, I'll do my best, anyway. Let's pick a date and time quickly so I can get it on my calendar.

 

[roseblood]

Have fun guys... I'll be on the USNS Mercy.

Scotty, if you are going to plan this one, here is my advice. I hope nobody takes this the wrong way. :wink: Ask for everyones opinion on a day and place, but don't try to accommodate everybody, or the meet will never happen. Get some feedback, then choose a day and place and stick with it. If somebody can't make it, too bad for them. If you are the only person that shows up, then it becomes a date! (That is if you bring you better half.) Just my advice, as I have seen meets planned and changed, and changed some more, then they never happen.

 

[Mazellan]

:agree: Even though I am one of the ones who can never make it. :disgusted: Some day it will happen. Maybe in May? :shock:

 

[Shaolin]

I might be up for this one, just depends on which day. Really appreciate the effort.

Dang, got myself into organizing it without even knowing what I was doing!

Weekdays at around 7:00 seem best to me, that way people have some time to get home from work? The LA Times meet was Wednesday night at 7:00 and the turnout was great!

Opinions on this? I am thinking Wednesday the 14th of May at 7:00 pm.

Ideas on city? Downtown so that Northern Utah guys can make it? Center of the valley?

Let me know what you think!

 

[Dustin WJ]

I would be up for this. My evenings are usually free, so I should be able to make it.

I'll be in Florida all week that week.

I like weekdays after work. It seems there is less going on than on a weekend. Location does not matter to me, as gas is cheap. :lol2:

This problem just begs for a software solution. Surprisingly, I can't find one.

What we need is a tool that can take as input everyone's preferences and then spit out the best time, i.e. the time that the maximum number of people can attend, maybe giving preference to times that allow people that haven't been recently to attend, or better yet to allow people that haven't met to meet.

Can anyone find anything like this? I may just have to write something. It seems like lots of on-line groups that occasionally meet in person could benefit from it.

Just use a spreadsheet. Input the dates and graph it. Yes it does require some manual typing on the victim's, uh...volunteer's part.

Ick.

Throw it into MS Access or SQL. Same initial setup as excel, but no/little upkeep.

Hey Schcotty Boy, ( as Sean Connery would say) you pick the place and we will all have to just eat it :lolbang: :ROFL: :lol3: :lol2:

Ok! So looks like it will be Wednesday, May 14th at 7:00pm! Put it on your calendars!

Any recommendations on a location? I really liked having buffet style, makes it easier with such a large, intimidating group! 8) Has Golden Corral been done to death? There is a Mexican Buffet in Sandy but I have never been there. Chinese Gourmet on 4500 South State Street is surprisingly good.

Opinions?
