What's funny is that other than Tyson, I think everyone that showed up on Wednesday came from NW and drove just as far as it is to Tamarack Junction, or came from South Meadows.  |
I think you completely missed my point, which is, if 4 people are going to show up either way, I'd rather be at the place where we get free drinks.
Like I said: "Moving to get more people to show up isn't a good enough reason to move it unless the location is going to draw more folks
for more than just a few weeks."
What I haven't seen is any evidence that the other places talked up as alternatives to Tamarak can or will draw a permanently larger crowd. The real problem of course is that coming up with that evidence is impossible short of just moving the meets there, which is why we're all just speculating and why I'm making a point to remind people about the qualities of the place we're already at that are good, because I get a significant "the grass is greener" feeling from everyone.
What I'd like to see is a bunch of people that normally don't come to the meets saying "if the meet was at Woody's, I'd totally come like 3 times a month easily". I haven't seen anyone actually say that... what I'm hearing mostly is from people that are relatively busy folks saying that they might be able to come more often if it were moved. But "more often" from 3 times a year may not really be all that much.
Again, I'm not really opposed to moving the meet. Woody's sounds like a pretty decent location. I just want to make sure you guys are sure about doing it before we give Michelle a $150/mo pay cut.
