Wednesday night meet

[pennyrobber]

Nice Ryan.  Too bad Dee's Shadetree Gee-raj will be close for service this weekend!

Fun hanging with everyone last night!

You mean to tell me that you aren't going to leave a key so Ryan and I can take your garage over?

I saw you pulling away as I was pulling up in my car.  Talked with IZ and Michael for a second.  About 10 mins after you left, a guy named Elliott pulled up on an old SS.  Battle-scarred, but running.  I told him to show up to Dietrich's on Saturday morning for a tech-day.   

   that would be me, and thanx for the invite to this forum. sorry i missed you guys on wed. night..

Yes, was good seeing all of you guys again. 

Sorry I had to bail.  The latte I spilled in my lap was starting to get really f'n annoying.

I'm not expert on laps, but I can't help but think that if you didn't spill the scalding hot coffee on your lap it wouldn't have been so annoying.

I'm just saying.

So where we going this Wednesday?  Nello's in Old Town?  Nello's in Tempe?  Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert (www.joesfarmgrill.com) ?  Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall food court? 

Where?  I know a few were itchin to ride around a little bit last Wed.  Maybe a meet-up spot and a ride-to-destination spot?

My 2c
meet - greet - "ride "- eat

[Michael]

+1

Let's ride somewhere together.

Also, I just found out that my Wednesdays will be less open for me, so this week might be my last one.

[YellowMonster]

Joe's Farm Grill would be a good place but they close at 9pm.  We would have to meet earlier than normal for a short ride beforehand if we wanted to do that. 

[Michael]

Why not just meet at the original Chuy's on 7th and Greenway and make that the regular spot?

Also, we should probably eat first and ride second, mainly for people who tend to be late. 

Altogether, I think it should be Dawn's decision since she started the thread.

[Dietrich]

Everybody whined about the 7th st Chuy's when that was posted up and nobody showed! 

Maybe the 32nd St & Indian School Chuy's is easier for people to get to? 

The only problem with a ride after is where does the ride end?  Do we pick a spot to just say goodbye, or will we say goodbye at the restaurant and then people peel off during the ride? 

I agree Joe's Farm Grill closing at 9 could be a problem.  Also, trying to meet someplace at 6 or 6:30, even 7pm, can be rough due to traffic (it SUCKED last week trying to get to the Chuy's on Baseline from my place - 51 south to 202 east to 101 south.  At 6:30 = 15 MPH most of the way.)

How about meet around 7pm near a freeway exit (downtown Tempe?), and ride to eat about 8? If we went to the 32nd St Chuy's we could make a fun route to get there.

I hear that the Chuy's on Indian School and 32nd St has a fence around it. Closing, renovating
How about the Nello's on Scottsdale Rd. idea?

Ah....sucky.  I'll investigate at lunch today.  I'm all about Nello's in Old Town.

[Michael]

If not Nellos, then Oreganos would be cool, too. All in old-town Scottsdale.

For me, the later the better. Even just for the sake of lighter traffic, I think 7:00pm or 7:30pm would be easier on everyone.

Anyway, why not just do what we did last time:
- Meet at restaurant
- Eat at restaurant
- Ride away from restaurant
- End up at Extreme Bean coffee shop and
- Hang out a bit and then people can leave when they want

Only this time we would not just go across the street; instead, we would go on a nice, cool ride across town (and then still end up at a coffee shop).
