TheOxfordComma Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Welcome back! I missed the meetup you made it to. Stupid work stuff. You should come. There will be club swinging and homebrews and cards against humanity and stuff! Yeah, I'm planning to! Homebrews are always a great reason to do anything. What's up with the club swinging, though? Is it golf related or more just like "Mitten Meetup Crew Smash!"? Sounds interesting either way. Quote What doesn't kill me makes me smarter. Link to comment
CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Oh, clubs are fun! They have a tradition in India and Persia/Iran that dates back to the 1200s or so. Before I joined a gym and fell in love with deadlifts, they were my primary workout. I have neglected them for a while, but I have been adding them back to my challenges recently. My favorite clubs are in the traditional Persian style. I have a co-worker from Iran that saw a picture of me with them, and he was pretty surprised that I knew anything about them and actually knew how to do the traditional swing. Quote Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Jiigigaw why not come next weekend? Thought we had lost you :-P Quote Level ? Half-Dwarf/Half-Amazon Warrior STR:21.25 STA:15 DEX: 10.95 CON: 14 WIS:15.5 CHA:17 SWOLE BUCKS: 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Link to comment
Jiigigaw Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Oh, I'm not lost, just got really frakking busy. Next weekend is absolutely possible. It depends on the situation around a 4 year old's birthday party that I have to co-host that day. What was the time frame of events? Quote Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well initially I was thinking post-dinner, but now I'm thinking that it might be better to start earlier - maybe 3-4ish and people can drop in and leave as fits their schedule. I'm asking people to bring something they know they can eat (I don't know if people are eating paleo or primal or whatever) and then I think I will make/buy some sort of main dish. That being said - will people eat pizza? That would be easiest for me Quote Level ?

CapN_Tommy_Sunshine Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Can't do pizza, due to gluten issues. I know a lot of pizza places have other stuff on the menus that don't give me problems, so we can figure it out. Quote Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 That's what I told Chris! I said something about making kebabs and he was like "how are kebabs different from pizza?" O.o I'll continue to give it some thought. Quote Level ? Half-Dwarf/Half-Amazon Warrior STR:21.25 STA:15 DEX: 10.95 CON: 14 WIS:15.5 CHA:17 SWOLE BUCKS: 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Link to comment
TheOxfordComma Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I might not be able to show up at the beginning if people are starting at 3, but if people don't mind others showing up later, yeah, sounds good to me. I was expecting 5/6pm and so that's probably when I'd show up. Quote What doesn't kill me makes me smarter. Link to comment

Morrigainz Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yep. So just to reiterate for people who may want to come but weren't in the pm. My place tomorrow, 4ish or whenever, I have burgers and miller high life. Please bring something you will eat :-) that's all! Quote Level ?

Jiigigaw Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ok, so... For the meetup, where and when? Should I bring some dead animal flesh that had some heat applied to it? Quote Link to comment
TheOxfordComma Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 So the last meetup went well. Were people saying they wanted to plan one in April, too? I thought I saw that in the conversation somewhere previously. Quote What doesn't kill me makes me smarter. Link to comment
Morrigainz Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yes! But I am going to leave it to someone else to do the planning. Although the home meetup worked out well with the gaming and such. Quote Level ?

TheOxfordComma Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Right. Well, I found that beer garden in A2 you were talking about, and apparently the only time it's open in April is the 5-7th, so if people want to meet for a pint next weekend that can work, or we can wait until it's open weekends in May to go there for a meetup and do something different in April.

Morrigainz Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I might possibly be down for this weekend. I'll have to check. One of Mr MirGSS' former coworkers is going to be in town, but I'm not sure what day we are doing stuff with her. Quote Level ?

TheOxfordComma Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Cool, well, say something when you know. I'm pretty much available all weekend, pretty sure. Let's keep it open for at least a small get-together possibility. Whoever makes it makes it.Also for people wondering, we're talking about Bill's Beer Garden in Ann Arbor. It's at 218 S. Ashley Street, and the only time it's open this month is April 5-7 from 5-11pm. Quote What doesn't kill me makes me smarter. Link to comment
echoesofwonder Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hey, I am just getting in on this... Seems there are a lot of nerds in Michigan. I am in northern Indiana (like 7 miles from Michigan), so it's probably just as close to meet up with some of you as it is to meet up with fellow Indiana nerds. Anyway, if there is a Lansing meeting in the future, thats only about 2 hours from me. I know you are talking about Ann Arbor this weekend... unfortunately I have plans. I will keep posted for the next meet up after this.

TheOxfordComma Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Alright. Well, does anyone else has meetup ideas for this month, since the Beer Garden doesn't seem to be happening? Quote What doesn't kill me makes me smarter. Link to comment
