Such a hypocrite. Always had such problems when I wanted to do anti-meets

I don't really care.

The MD meets have been having attendance issues. Somebody's got to do something about that. I'm doing it for the good of the club, not my own laziness, like you were.

Honestly, if we just want to can MD meets altogether, I suppose that's an option as well. The VA meets are always better attended, with rare exception. But I would rather that didn't happen.

No they were never out of laziness, only because Dan was in town. Last time I asked to change up the schedule for MD meet attendance everyone (you included) got mad at me for trying to change it. Now that you want to do it, it's ok though.....

Why would we do that? Hell I'd still go to the Columbia meets if it was me, you, Ron, Bert, and Jon there. We seem to be the only ones who attend it regularly.

But this is a Maryland meet weekend. I'm not changing the schedule at all WHAT SO EVER. It just happens that there is a cruise going on in Virginia, and next week is another VA meet, right?

No one is forced to cruise, and no one is being asked to avoid the cruise.

None of us were there at the last meet, where it was Randy and one other guy.

I'd roll up to MD with you Al but I'm gonna be in the pits at Richmond this weekend.

groping Danica takes precedence, I agree

I was there with some new faces two MD meets ago with Shahid and Bert.

Was on travel last MD and meet and during Bobo's housewarming (which is why I never RSVP'd) and I will be on travel again the latter half of this month. Been quite busy lately.

We have all been. I've been out of town quite a considerable amount.

I'm going to be at Columbia this Saturday if anyone wants to come out. There is also a Cruise starting at the normal FFX meeting time and location if anyone wants to go there.

Whatever dude, you win. You are the MAZOC hero who will save or kill the MD meets. All I know is, I'm gonna be enjoying the cruise this Saturday.

Have fun. I'm not telling anyone to not cruise. Jesus Christ.

I'm not trying to save or kill anything. I just want to get the coffee meets back on track.

m4a1mustang · 09-04-2012, 12:35 PM

I forgot the cruise was this weekend. Either way I will be in Richmond.

m4a1mustang · 09-04-2012, 12:50 PM

Going forward I think there are a couple ways we can keep from interfering with the regular coffee meet schedule:

1) Don't schedule cruises on Saturdays

2) If a cruise is scheduled on a Saturday keep it relevant to that weekend's regular meet. So VA-area cruises would happen on VA meet weekends and vice versa for MD-area cruises.

Expanding further on #2, it might be a good idea to have a cruise departure around 10:30-11am or so such that the regular coffee meet could still take place. Someone wanting to attend the meet but not the cruise could still come by and see everyone. Then maybe you'd have a group running off for the cruise while others go home or go grab lunch etc.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Also, maybe 10AM is not a good time to meet for some people. It seems to work well for VA, but is another time better for MD? Think people!
