Northside Locations

[John Uhri]

Has anyone else scoped any locations as a possible meeting places for the Northside Smoosier Tech Club?

I like Gourmet Grounds, but it's all the way out at 116th and Olio Road. It's probably a little far out for most.

I also checked out Cafe Du Meebo (where the Starbucks used to be at 96th and Allisonville Rd). I don't think it would be a good place, as it is a coffee shop and hooka bar. Personally, I'd rather not hang out in a smokey coffee house.

What about Scotty's on 96th? They have wi-fi and a private room.

[John Uhri]

And they're open late!
And have beer!

[Bill Dawson]

I also like Mack's idea of Scotty's - it's easily accessible, and would be great if we could get the private room.

[John Uhri]

I sent an email to Scott Wise @brewhouse to find out if there's a charge for the private room. He said there isn't as long as there's a minimum of food and beverages purchased. He asked when (what night, and how often) we were thinking of and how many people would attend. I haven't responded yet, since we haven't figured that on out.

Tuesdays are probably the best for me, Thursdays are also possible.

Are we starting with once a month or more frequently? Thoughts from the panel?

[Bill Dawson]

Thanks for running with the logistics John!

How about the second Tuesday of each month? Our first meeting could be 13 October 2009.

We can get a tentative number count over the next week, and I'm sure we can draw some Southside Smoosiers into the mix.

[Eva Lyford]

Scotty's sounds fine. Tuesdays are better for me than Thursdays in general, however 10/13 I've already got another commitment.

[Mack Earnhardt]

Any interest in 3rd Tuesday? 2nd Tues is IT Happy Hour at Fox & Hound.

[John Uhri]

Any Tuesday of the month is fine for me.
I wouldn't be able to make the third Tuesday of this month, though.

[Bill Dawson]

Can we get everyone together for 17 November? It's the next 3rd Tuesday on the calendar.

[Mack Earnhardt]

Works for me.

[Erik Deckers]

What time are you planning on?

[Bill Dawson]

Sounds like people are tied up tonight. Think we can make 15 December our inaugural meeting? I'm sure that gives us enough time to gather some folks - I'll even goad Doug Karr into an appearance!

Thoughts?
