Thread: Minni/winning meet up

I think as mentioned the post name should be fixed, a lot of people will not understand which meet this is,, I mean it's a wisconsin meet,, how will most know? Tc

So, let's do this.

Tentatively, Aug 13th is a good date for me. Come on over and have some beers. I have enough tables/chairs to seat 8 people comfortably on my patio/parking garage roof (there's a huge pagoda thingie, so no worries about sitting in the sun all day if you don't want to). The apartment complex has mentioned doing some construction to change the area, but for the time it should be fine and we can roll with the punches if something changes. If there's rain, my "kitchen" table can still fit 8 people; however, chairs will be limited. If there are more than 8 people, we will find a way.

I would prefer to not start this at an ungodly hour in the morning, but can accommodate as necessary. That being said, if there is anyone in the area that would like assistance getting to my place, I can pick you up. I would prefer to stay within 30 minutes drive time one way (for example, picking up anyone in Milwaukee would be a cinch and I have a stationwagon). There's many options for food, although grilling is a gigantic PITA at my place, have to walk 2-300 yards to the top of a hill just to get to the grill. Something I've been entirely too lazy to do.

Well that lets a few Minnesotans out.

On the bright side, it's closer to the Chicago area so hopefully you can get a better draw from there.

yeah, Waukesha is over 7 hours, and unlikely for me.

Daaaaang it! We'll take pics for ya

Seems this started as a thread for Minn. and Wisc. folks to get together ner to both. And along a major highway intersection.
Just sayin'

Well, there's no law that there can be only one meet-up. If Dinnermint is willing to host at his place, that's great. That does not preclude another one in a different location. Hopefully it would be on a different day.

I'm alright with more meets. My offer to drive will still stand if I can make it to the middle ground meet.

I would be happy to host, but I'm pretty out of the way - unless there is a northern Minnesota / Wisconsin contingent I am not aware of! I am about an hour north of Duluth. I do have a nice big workshop area with lots of counter space in basement, and another big area in my garage, a grill, and space for at least a dozen. I am not ruling out driving to Waukesha, (sounds like a grand time, and thanks for the offer dinnermint!) but my vote would be a little closer to the border with Minnesota.
