July Get Together ? - Titan! - 06-10-2009
Okay peeps, lets start planning the midsummer get together.
I'm think of aiming it somewhere around July 19th
is this enough time to clear your schedules ?
annnnd, what are we thinking of ?
Beer, food and conversation again ?
Or perhaps an activity mixed with our beer and food and conversation ?
Bowling ? Whitecaps game ? Flaming hatchet fight ?
Or perhaps a day at the beach ?
Camping trip ?
let's get a few ideas boiling and see what we can come up with
Re: July Get Together ? - Biff - 06-10-2009
Millenium Park
Re: July Get Together ? - Titan! - 06-10-2009
Not a bad choice. We could get a pvaillion and grill up some burgers and brats.
Re: July Get Together ? - zdunklee - 06-10-2009
Good Call Biff, they allow Alcohol during the summer months too! Win for everybody!
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 06-10-2009
I like Millenium Park. It's pretty sweet.
Re: July Get Together ? - Biff - 06-10-2009
I've never been to Millenium Park but all I know is that if you guys are a bunch of idiots I can always take my kids to the splash pad.

Oh, you know you can count on that!!
Re: July Get Together ? - Titan! - 06-10-2009
Us + alcohol = probably not kid frienldy.
Re: July Get Together ? - 0rz0ski - 06-10-2009
I'm up for it. Hopefully I won't be too insane busy.
Re: July Get Together ? - vsangelchick - 06-10-2009
The only issue there is that there is now an admission to get into the park...I'm up for camping....always good fun when fires and tents are involved.

With what ?
Re: July Get Together ? - Opus - 06-10-2009
I think an activity would be good.
Maybe Craigs Cruisers (I just want to see about 10 grown adults walk in and start playing games, laser tag, mini golf, and go carts)
Another option would be a park like stated above.. maybe one that offers different stuff than just swimming such as disc golf, fishing, etc..
The Break Room has good deals during the weeknights if you guys shoot pool at all... maybe we could do a board tournament with a small buyin to cover the green fees and the winner getting recognition on the board via status or avatar.
Whatever it ends up being, just give me enough of advanced notice, and I will make sure I get the time off.

I never been to Millenium Park. But it sounds like a lot of fun. I am in.

Since when? I have been there about 5 or 6 times already this year to use the bike trails. They do charge for the splashpad/swimming, but just going into the park is free, or at least I haven't had to pay yet.
Here is the website for anyone wanting to see the info about it: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.millennium-park.org/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.millennium-park.org/index.htm</a><!-- m -->
Re: July Get Together ? - nurveen - 06-12-2009
Thanks. Z for the web site for millennium park. I have never been there. It looks great. I am going to have to check it before the 19th. Your web page also gave me directions to the park. :clap:
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 06-12-2009
What weekend is the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven? People at work are thinking about entering in to the Beach Run 5k and I wouldn't want it to interfere.
Re: July Get Together ? - potthole - 06-12-2009
I seem to recall that's around late July or early August, but it has been years since I've been.

Last weekend of July through First weekend of August.
Re: July Get Together ? - potthole - 06-13-2009
Wow, I nailed that one on the head! Hell of a guess on my part!
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 06-14-2009
I just found out that my company picnic is July 18. So the July 19 works well.
Re: July Get Together ? - 0rz0ski - 06-14-2009
While we were in Springfield, Joe mentioned that they were working on getting another Think Fast gameshow together. I don't remember if he said July or August was the timeframe. Just an FYI...
Re: July Get Together ? - Opus - 06-14-2009
If they do that, we should totally put together a board team.
I am pretty good at general trivia.
Re: July Get Together ? - potthole - 06-15-2009
I think I could be quite handy to have on a Think Fast team. I would be so down for going to one of those.
Re: July Get Together ? - zdunklee - 06-15-2009
It is 4 per team and we could most likely enter several board teams. We actually talked about this at the GRBC in June.
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 06-15-2009
What is the cost to enter these things, and shouldn't we get a discount since we are suuuuuuch loyal fans?
Re: July Get Together ? - 0rz0ski - 06-15-2009
It's $40 for a team, so $10 a person. It's worth it Mad Dog.
Re: July Get Together ? - nurveen - 06-16-2009
that sounds like fun.
Re: July Get Together ? - Howie Feltersnatch - 06-16-2009
I would totally be on board for a thinkfast game show team
Re: July Get Together ? - krystal - 06-16-2009
I'm all envious because I wouldn't be able to do it.
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 07-16-2009
So Is this gonna actually Happen? Are we gonna actually have a Message board picnic at Millinium Park?

How about a cook out at Johnson Park? They have grills there. I'd supply the charcoal and everyone could bring whatever meat they wanted and perhaps a dish to pass? It's a big park and they have a lot of playground equipment for the kids (if you have them).
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 07-18-2009
Sounds good to me, How about anyone else? And what time? Say 1:00pm tomorrow?

I know I cannot do tomorrow and since this place gets so little traffic on the weekends I doubt you'll get more of a response.
We should shoot for a Saturday evening in August.
Re: July Get Together ? - Mad Dog - 07-18-2009
ok sweet. How about August 15th?
Re: July Get Together ? - Biff - 07-20-2009
We could do Lamar Park (15 bucks for a reservation instead of 50).
Re: July Get Together ? - Opus - 07-20-2009
Lamar is cool with me. Only a couple miles from the house and it has a disc golf course.
Re: July Get Together ? - 0rz0ski - 07-20-2009
Sorry, won't be there.
Re: July Get Together ? - Opus - 07-20-2009
Saturdays would work better for me as well as I just let Best Buy know I don't want to work Saturdays anymore.

Re: July Get Together ? - 0rz0ski - 07-21-2009
Maybe the 22nd.
