Is there any interest in a meetup in the Evansville, IN area? It's a day trip drive from St. Louis, Nashville, & Louisville.

If there's some interest, I might see about putting something together after the holidays.

How does April sound for interested folks?? Any particular weekend sound good?

I'm trying to put together a list of places to get together. Does anyone have a preference for the type of place we hang out at?

Sounds good to me.

TJ, how well do you know the East side vs. the West?

Some. I avoid Eville for the most part if I can because of the lack of driving skillz.

I'm just mostly trying to figure out if people want coffeeshop atmosphere vs. bar foods & drinks vs. sit down restaurant-y type thing.

Do you have an idea?

Barnes & Noble's.

Also, I totally agree with you. There are some MORONS here. Present company not included. :D

I'd love to see you again, too! I'm trying to convince the husband that going to Collinsville again in the fall is a good idea since I haven't been back since 2007. I want to go to the whole thing this time.

Okay. I'm saying the 30th. Does anyone have a preference for venue? Is everyone planning to attend of age?

There was one suggestion for B&N. I was trying to think of a good local place with the right atmosphere.

I know a good mexican place 13 miles west of Evansville that has the strongest margaritas on earth, I think.

Also, I live in historic New Harmony, which is just west of Evansville along I-64. There are plenty of neat places there, though some of the businesses don't stay open very late.

Any ideas?

I would prefer to have a place without alcoholic drinks, as I still live with my parents and that may make them uncomfortable.

Naco,

Do you mean any place that serves alcohol at all or just like a bar? There are lots of very nice family restaurants that serve alcohol in addition to good food, so it would cut down on a lot of the choices.

Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, I just need to determine the parameters for the get-together.

Just, like, a bar. Hahaha.

I think most of the restaurants out here are combo bars/restaurants anyway.

Hey, TJ, which Turoni's?

I gotta work at 6, which means I would have to leave around 5, is that okay?

Weinbach is actually really easy for me, I think you just get on the Lloyd westbound and then you get off at the weinbach exit and it's right there, isn't it?
