HA! i know when Abe Lincoln is brought into conversation it's me. I get it quite a bit. and yes, this time we will keep it small. so we don't have to wait around a burning hot parking lot. I say take what we learned from the last one and other meets and use it to our advantage. plan more functionally. I don't wanna do another cookout, and I don't want to rent a shelter again. too much expense & organization involved for that and we are running short enough on time before tourist season as is.
Anyways, People are going to be late, they always are. Those on time don't want to sit around doing nothing in a hot parking lot. So lets meet up and eat at a restaurant for lunch. That way people running a little late have the whole time we are eating to show up. Fast food would be Ideal so we don't have to tell them how many people for a table (lets face it, we never really know that number) and we can order food, get it quickly, take our time eating and bullsh*ting. And that way people that show up during lunch can also get food without having to wait for a server to come take their order. and close out checks. So we're talking like a 45 minute grace period MAX for stragglers.
Sound like a good start? Any suggestions? Additions? Different Ideas?
Hopefully Patrick can find a loop with less speedbumps.
