Next Beatdown Get-Together?

I’m down for it. Don’t know those areas so well, but thats what GPS is for. You got any specific places that are good in any of those areas?

I actually don’t mind the 89 dodge colt. :) I’ll probably be rolling in at the last second to be honest as I’ll probably be in a meeting or something along those lines that day.

Columbia

Champs at Columbia Mall is huge with TV screens everywhere, so we can watch the baseball playoffs and see what good baseball teams are like.

Champs!

That gets my vote!!!

And I think MaLoR lives down in this neck of the woods, doesn’t he? College Park I believe?

You moved down here though.

Nevertheless, hopefully Bruce can pull the trigger on this shin-dig and BB participants will have another opportunity to raise our glasses high.

I’m all in for the Columbia Mall. Its pretty easy to find for anyone that doesn’t know the area. That is the biggest thing for me, is that its easy to find for anyone that is directionally impaired. I think we had a good turnout last time because it was on a well known road in a fairly simple area. Had I given people more time to get together, I think the turnout would have been even better.

Okay

Bruce, you need to make an executive decision. We have three locations:

1) Champs in Columbia – my vote
2) Hightopps
3) Chaperoning Raven and MaLoR’s date on the Gunpowder… …I’ll pass thank you…

Jackmca brings up a valid point- since no Raven’s game, why not on the weekend? My only concern is that those of us of the “older” set have children of our own, and most weekend’s are taken up by activities around them (in my case, thank goodness for DVR…) So I am actually okay with Saturday evening or even later Sunday afternoon, but Thursday evening would be my choice.

So Bruce, so that folks have plenty of notice, you should probably make an executive decision, the sooner the better. Thanks!

While I'd love to meet jackma and say "thanks"

Sundays are family days (or in my case, cleaning day), so it looks like a Thursday or we can do MNF as an option. Since THAT hasn’t be put out there, I will to see if it gets positive response and then if no definitive majority, I’ll pick between Champs and Hightopps (sorry Gunpowder lovers).

Not Crazy

About Monday Nights because of the work thing. Prefer Thursday at Champs.

If at all possible a Saturday afternoon/evening thing would be nice. Any time during the week is going to cut down a lot on the number of people that can show up due to work and so on. Sunday is my family day as well and I have to imagine quite a few others are in the same boat. Maybe even a Friday night?

by Mstevens_Design on Oct 2, 2011 11:49 AM EDT up reply actions

This Friday

Happens to be Yom Kippur, so that is going to put the kibosh on some folks.

I would be up for Saturday afternoon/evening.
