Tuesdays is really best for me too, just wanted to open the floor on this again and give everyone a chance to speak up.

Tuesdays wont work for me until next semester but i plan to schedule around it then so i vote to keep Tuesday.
Second, I cant help but mention what i did once before and that is, while it MAY get old i REALLY feel if we could pick a place like a restaurant with some sort of pray room or back room and meet there every month officially.. it will make brining in new members ALOT easer and also it would allow us to develop a good relationship with the managers (or if it was a local place, the owners) and if they can be assured that on the 3rd Tuesday of each month there gonna see us we can probably work out some kind of discount on food or specials (I'm a film producer i can make these kinda deals pretty darn easy as could most of us i'm sure). and I'm sure there are a lot of other benefits we can come up with by having a loyal patronage to a restaurant monthly. even possibly media attention (the line "Local Star Wars Enthusiast group meets monthly at "Eat at joe's" headlines make GREAT human interest pieces) also if it was the same place.. there would be no planing from month to month and we could concentrate planning on the other family event.. meetings would just become a sure fire thing.
There's my two cents... actualy.. it's only one cent.. i'm to broke right now to give away two :-P

From the looks of it we are looking at Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday.
Allen, I know, your life is about to completely change but I am sure you have some input.
Paul, how 'bout a chime in here. I know there are certain evenings that don't work for you.
Joel, What say you? Tuesday is Bandito's deal but is there any other days that don't work for you?
History has shown that not everyone can make it every month either so what about a rotation similar to the restaurant deal. We do Tuesday, Monday, Tuesday, Monday... Yes, that throws another factor in to the mix but it would also open up meetings for more folks.
Jason, the set restaurant is not a bad idea but there is the location issue. While I am all for it being at Penny Lane Pub or something downtown not everyone will go for that. Then there is the Spotsy factor. Should we be looking at a place up in Glen Allen or Ashland? Great idea for sure, I would just be concerned that there may be even more disagreement.
Bottom line is still the same. We all just like to get together and shoot the bull. There is not a major need for politics, regulations, and any kind of extreme organization. We are all adults (ok, well maybe not Tony but we cut him slack), and are able to have a nice group that is organic and healthy.

Jason your idea sounds nice at first, but then becomes the issue of "where".
We have people all spread out, while a lot of us are located in the Southside, you would think it would be fair to make the meetings in the Southside...but it's not fair to all. What works for some, may not work for everyone else.
I like that we had a restuarant rotation - each time was a different location in a different part of Richmond or Greater Richmond area. But we were always trying to figure out the next location a week or so before the next meeting.
I think we should look at setting up a rotation that is decided upon and then sticky it up in one post on the boards - so everyone know when and where.
Keeps the guess work out.
For example:
January 15th - Banditos (Richmond city)
February 19th - A N.Y. Slice (Southside)
March 18th - Friendly's (West End)
April 15th - No idea (Asland)

The third Tuesday of the month is fine with me. Weekends are not good for me. Thursdays are a possibility, though.

I like this idea ( not because Tony suggested) it would eliminate trying to figure it out a week before the meeting and then when could concentrate on the family events more. Let me know what all of you think. By the way it does not have to be a restaurabt it could be any public place of interest.

To be honest, Mondays work for me, and really any other day is fine, except Tuesdays. There may come a time when I wont work one Tuesday to enjoy a meeting but makin money is always better than spending it.
I can always tape the stuff I want to see...we do it anyways right now with all the shows.
I would just really like to come to a meeting at some point and rib Tony in person.
Whatever you want to work out is fine....if you can do a Monday every once in a while that would be nice.
And January 15th at Banditos is fine with me as well....put it on the books. Just remind me a couple weeks in advance.
