Ideas for June OKCTalk Event

[oneforone]

Best of luck on getting an event together... In the past some of us have met for meals(usually somewhere casual and affordable), Blazers and Redhawk games, and a Passion Party. (LOL the old timer's will get the last one.)

I know every time in the past an event has been scheduled twenty people commit to going and only 5 show up. The 15 that did not show up always came up with a lame ass excuse why they could not go.

I guess some people were scared that they will be grilled for thier points of veiw. In all actuality those of us that got together had a good a time.

We rarely talked about the activities on the board. When we did talk about the board we were looking at what to do to draw more traffic and to make the site better for the exiting members.

Why do you want to make things better for the exiting members?

I think you are talking about Single's Events.

oneforone, I don't recall you going to an event under this username.

Did you post as someone else?

Another idea would be a ride on the new river water taxi.

We could perhaps charter one of the boats and have some appetizers and talk as part of the cruise.



It sure is nice to have all these great new options, isn't it?

If I'm in town, I'll be there. I've got a trip tentatively scheduled that might conflict, with dates not of my choosing. But, I'd love to attend. Any of the above mentioned options sound good to me.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

I'll be honest...I don't make a habit of volunteering to hear ANYBODY speak, no matter the topic. It's just not something I enjoy.

I'm MUCH more casual than that.

That said...I'd be down for a get together. Every time I've met people from the intertubes, it's turned out to be fun...And I've not wound up on Dateline yet.

Pete, the boat idea might be a good idea, as long as no one throws me overboard!

Depending on details - I would like to participate. I promise to play nice.

Perhaps. I would suggest Midtown for this event. . . meet at Plaza Court . . . have someone from Banta's group give a little walking tour of some of their projects in the immediate area . . . Marva Ellard might let us have a look at the Sieber which is just a couple of blocks away and finish up at the Cafe de Brazil roof bar. Next time around do something that would include Maywood, The Hill, Block 42 and finish at Red . . . or vice versa.

That would be a great plan ODG, especially if McNellie's is open by then.

Not even remotely possible. But I do owe you a beer there when it does open.

Pete,

Count me in. I would be thrilled to join. I tend to agree that a speaker could be good -- or a drag. Obviously, that depends on the speaker.

If it's Steve, we can remind him that he thinks we're a bunch of conspiracy theorists who "don't really know what's going on downtown." (I kid)
