MT Meetup pt 2

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

So what are our overall thoughts?

I think we've got three ideas (which could all happen, or none). Having a meetup in australia, having another meetup in kentucky, or having a meetup somewhere in new england. It sounds like we may have two separate meetings this year - 1 in australia and 1 in the usa.

I can set up polls to determine what people would be interested in, please reply here with preferences. I'll be creating a survey by next week with locations and times, based on replies here.

I'm separating this from the other thread since that thread has had normal thread thrift. If you want to discuss something that doesn't involve planning for it, please focus on the other thread.

Obviously Kentucky is easiest for me and I'm happy to host. But I could probably make it to New England if someone wanted to host and we could get more attendees there. Unfortunately, I can't make it to Australia. That would be fun.

I think I'd prefer Kentucky over New England. I'm in Texas, so it's a shorter drive and closer climate. Although if I flew, NY might actually be "closer" if I can get a nonstop flight.

As I said in the other thread, March to early May would work best for me.

I’m glad I can’t make it to Australia. If I could I probably wouldn’t come back until the Squirrel Orcs left Washington.

You malign the squirrels, sir. You malign the squirrels.

I hang my head in shame, you are correct.

Kentucky is probably out of the cards for me but if any of you good people come up to New England I would be happy to get together.

Can we be more specific when we talk about these locations? Where in New England or Kentucky are we talking? How close or far from city centers/airports?

 

[Tony Dismukes]

Kentucky would be in Lexington. Closest airport is Bluegrass Airport here in Lexington. Next closest is Louisville, a bit over an hour away.

We have a few people in the New England area, but I don't think anyone has officially proposed a location or offered to host out that way yet

I don't think we had a specific person opening their studio/dojo in new england. It was more that we have multiple people in the new england are that were interested. If worse comes to worst, and no one is able to share where they are, there is a park near where I grew up that allows for people to train without any requirements. Only issue with that would be that it's weather dependent.

Kentucky would be lexington, where Tony is, and Australia would be in queensland, in the area dropbear shared on the other post.

I hope all you of that can, do. Regardless of how inconvenient it is.

I hope you all make this work.

You won’t be sorry. This is one of those things that you’ll remember forever in Martial Arts.

One of the greatest regrets in life, especially martial arts life, is “I shoulda, but didn’t.”
