anybody wanna have a greasy burger?
I sure do!
I'm in!
I will try
Only 4 Miatas tonite. I remember having up to about 30 just a couple of years ago. Are we getting to old to be out on a week night??
Nope. Just too old to be out in 100 degree temps.
It was actually quite pleasant last night... meow meow.
Rick told me that turnout dwindled when I moved away. I am back in Plano. Should I make an appearance to try and recover the weekly meet?Quote:

I think you'd have a better turnout if you picked one week a month to promote several weeks in-advance. There are a lot of new members/owners on the board who've never experienced a really good Keller's night. A planned GTG with a couple weeks notice might reintroduce the magic.
I agree. Once a week meets generally give the impression of being very clique-y. Nobody likes to be the new guy in a tight group of friends, and meets that often give the impression that is a tight group. I know when I first moved here I was "worried" about that when I saw the weekly meets. Luckily everyone here is vey open to new people in person though. But still, walking into a large group that knows each other well is intimidating...having a less frequent gathering, to me, takes away most of thoughts of thinking you're going to be completely lost in every conversation.
And before what I said gets taken way wrong: I'm not saying to *only* have one meet a month or whatever. Just pick one meet/week each month to promote as the big one. For instance, say the 3rd Wednesday of every month is the "must-go" meet, while the other weeks are the usual weekly ordeal.
Very good idea!Quote:

If you plan it, they might come...

I just got my Miata back from Stevan and its running better than ever. Got replacement JDM DOHC and a new radiator under the hood so I am ready to hang out with some other Miata lovers pronto! The once a month meet up sounds like a good idea to me. I'll go with whatever the seasoned forum members feel is best.
