Next supporters meeting: Feb 10 or Feb 11?

So we were planning on having our next supporters group meeting on Saturday, February 11. The last time we met on a Saturday, it worked really well for us.

But, a couple of people have brought up the idea of meeting Friday, February 10 around 8ish and then hanging around afterwards to check out the US men vs Japan on ESPN2 (?) at 10:00 PM.

I think it's a great idea to meet that Friday. We can have our meeting and hang out to watch the game afterwards. The only problem I could see would be that people have to work on Fridays, so some might not make it.

So what do you think? Friday or Saturday for the meeting?

ETA: Ignore the spelling on the poll. *blushes*

 

No, the venue hasn't been decided yet.

 

Sorry I can't change a poll once it's done. I'll just keep yours in mind.

And yes, that back room in Richmond Arms was a bit too crowded. If we still had it there, I wonder if the weather would be nice enough to where we could go outside? Or maybe in the main part of the building? I don't really care where we have it, I just like Richmond Arms' location. We need to find something else inside (or right outside) of the Loop if we are going to change locations.

 

Bump.

It looks like Feb 10 is winning by a landslide.

 

Okay, we might have a dilemma.

On our first meeting, we had originally decided to have the next meeting Feb 11, on a Saturday night. I had just maybe thought that we could do the next meeting with a double pleasure of being able to watch the US/JPN match at the same time. But, I've had 4 people who were at the first meeting say they wouldn't be able to attend the meeting on a Friday night, because of previous commitments.

So here's my quandry. I know alot of people liked the meeting/watch party all at the same time. I just don't want to miss those people who were at the first meeting and who won't be able to attend if we have the next meeting on Friday night. I would hate that. especially with the next meeting being so important as we will be voting on the name, discussing the rivalry cup with Dallas, finalizing plans, and maybe electing officers.

So what do yall think? I'm down for having a watch party on Fri night and then having a meeting on Saturday night as well, if anyone would want to do that. I just want everyone to be able to participate, and especially with these people being at the original meeting where we set the meeting date for the next time.

Anyone have any suggestions? Go ahead with the meeting and watch party on Friday? Move the meeting until Saturday? Have the watch party on Fri and meet on Sat? Someone help me out here.

P.S. I think we need to have this figured out by 9 PM tomorrow so we can plug it on Glen's show. So hop to everyone!

P.P.S. Anyone got meeting place suggestions? If we don't have any other plausible options, I say we go with Richmond Arms which is tried and true and then continue to find other places to try out for later meetings. I just want to be able to announce the date/place/time by tomorrow night so it gives people a chance to spread the word and make plans.

 

I think most of the people that voted just didn't care one way or another and liked the idea of meeting and watching the game.

I guess I'm asking what you are telling me. How many people couldn't make it on Saturday vs how many couldn't make it on Saturday. I know we'll never be able to have everyone at all functions, but we did schedule it a month ago for Saturday.

I just should have never brought up the whole meeting on Friday night thing. I'll feel bad leaving anyone out, regardless of if it's on a Fri or a Sat.

 

Bump. Help me out here guys. Let me know what yall want to do. I'd like to have meeting time/date/location decided by 9 PM tonight so we can plug on the Glenn Davis show.

 

Okay, well I guess we'll go with Friday, Feb 10 @ 8:00 for the meeting. The people who can't make it on Friday (which I'm so so sorry about, I tried! I promise!), I'll contact with a group name ballot which they can vote on and email back to me. Also, please PM or email me any ideas you have and I'll be sure to get those brought up at the meeting. You have my word.

Okay, so do we want to say Richmond Arms for this one? We had discussed other places, but I don't believe anything was finalized, and I say let's go for the tried and true with this short of notice. If we fill up the back room, we can filter out into the main room or outside, I'm sure.

If no other objections, I'll call in on Glenn's show tonight and plug. Or someone else (Albert?) call. Just mention we'll be voting on the name, discussing rivalry with Dallas, and watching the US/JPN game afterwards!
