The mere fact that I am 6’6 285lbs and used to be the water boy for the Chargers shouldn’t scare anyone!! Urban, all jokes aside, I really think it would be a good thing just to sit down with everyone and run some ideas of how we can get things working from a local perspective and how we can move some of our ideas to a national spectrum.

TG, makes sense. My little TG, makes sense. My little guy isn’t quite in sports yet, but that is completely understandable. We have 7 votes, once we hit the 20 marker I am going to start looking for some happy hour spots in town, maybe in Carmel Valley or UTC to keep things somewhat central for those in North County and those way up there in Temecula :). There are plenty of restaurants where we can get a room to ourselves. We’ll have to let the restaurant know they will have a bunch of piggs in the back room!
Maybe we can organize the food before hand, so we don’t have to worry about it when we get there (maybe buffet style). I will throw some dates around in the next week or so to see what is best for everyone!

A Saturday morning at a hotel A Saturday morning at a hotel would feel like a seminar, the only way this works is with alcohol and is a social event. With all the busy lives and family obligations, might I suggest a non coveted time, like a Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday night/happy hour. Saturday mornings are heavily booked with kid sports for many.
Early week happy hour in S.D. would be cool, something North of the 8 freeway. I often go wine tasting on Sundays up here, it’s no effort to organize a group, even a small one.
Every great song, book or idea came from a meeting of polluted idle minds, no sense in bucking the trend.

Hi all — I was out of town Hi all — I was out of town for the weekend and I’m just punching into this thread. By coincidence I had just been thinking that another pigg meetup was seriously overdue. I had been thinking along the lines of what TG suggested, ie a weeknight at a location with food and adult beverages such as Shakespeare’s Pub or something.
But this thread just goes to show that if you procrastinate long enough, someone will do it for you!
Anyway, I’m on board. That Today’s Pizza place, while a bit far afield for us southern-folk, was really quite a good venue in terms of size, noise level, etc, so that’s fine by me if that’s what everyone wants to do.
Thanks,

I’ll fess up. I think I was the first one to vote “no”. It was a knee-jerk reaction. If I understood socratts post, he wanted to have a somewhat formal brainstorming event regarding How we can get things moving from a local level, and then take it national. In other words, a serious political discussion. I’ve seen those discussions on this site – and they are brutal. They generally do not have a nice, friendly, social feel to them.
However, when I look at the other thread regarding where it’s going to take place – well, that’s got an entirely different feel to it.
It went from a political brainstorming session to a beer drinking social event with no particular agenda – and I think some are on the verge of sneaking off to the parking lot to share a doobie! That idea has some potential and I wouldn’t have voted “no” on that one.
