    I don't want to sound too much like of a nag, but I'm going to revisit the discussion about going to Dungeons and Drafts up in Ft. Collins. Our August meeting is currently scheduled for August 15th, at Village Inn. I've noticed a few people will be attending the "Star Wars Day" at D&D on Sunday the 16th. Would there be any interest in piggy-backing on their event and meeting up in Ft. Collins on Sunday instead? Their event doesn't start until 4:00, so we could meet before hand for our meeting and then join in the festivities. I put it to the group at large...

    I love this idea! It's an hour drive for me so that's not too bad.

    We may be taking a trip in August. I am not sure what weekend that will involve, but I am open to the idea.

    I'm liking the idea, and weather shouldn't be a factor in a summer month, let me start a poll.

    Meeting will be up North this month at Dungeons and Drafts. (Click link to left for their web site)

    Sunday, August 16
    2 PM
    Dungeons and Drafts
    1624 S Lemay Ave # 6, Fort Collins, Co

    They will be having "Sci-Fi costume day" from 4 pm - 11 pm that day. Their event will consist of sci-fi-inspired drinks. Perhaps we should hold the meeting part before then?

    They do have food, but not a full menu. Several appetizers, soup, salads, sandwiches, 6 entrees. Full menu here.

    Those under 21 are allowed in and are welcome at the meeting...however, non-adult beverages only for those padawans.

    Love DND: I go all the time and was a kickstarter.

    But: Just so you know, Mountain Garrison SRS will be having their meet and greet then, too, which is what started the Star Wars Sci Fi day (Name changed due to LFL rules). Make sure there is plenty of room and make reservations, because there will be a slew of people there. Sunday is pretty busy for them.

    According to what we decided at the January meeting, we'll be at VI on Sept 19th. I'm sure this is open to discussion though.

    The 501st is having a Meet and Greet at 6 pm at a Village Inn on 120th that day, so as long as ours is earlier it shouldn't conflict.
    Although I feel bad for someone going to both and eating VI food twice in one day...

    Would it be better or worse if we tried to meet at the same location, and have our meeting before 6? That's less timing for those who do double duty, but two meetings in a row up north.

    I will actually be in town this time around. I'd like to be attending a Masters of the Universe event at the Egyptian Theater in L.A. that weekend, but... my wife says we already RSVP'D to a family friend's wedding the evening of the 19th.

    Would anyone be opposed to holding the meeting at 1pm at the regular location, so it will be more of a late lunch and people can still make their evening obligations?

    No objections here. Would you like to try to meet first and then have everyone order food, or is that bad restaurant manners?

    Meeting at 1 pm is fine with me. I'll create the FB invitation.

    I think food and then meeting sounds good.
