Albuquerque FJ Happy Hour
This weekend is out for me, I will be at the family ranch in Bloomfield-Blanco area on the San Juan River. Hope to get in a little FJ fun.
In suggesting the get-together for ABQ area FJers, I would like to propose that we take into consideration the following thoughts. If you have others, please post them.
1. I was hoping for a time that would not impact people's weekend night social plans, as many people use this for going out, and I don't want to piss of anyone's wife/girlfriend/boyfriend or whoever for this.
2. It might be best during some daylight hours, as I am sure we might want to step out to check out each other's rig mods. Also, we avoid the late evening social scene and its crowd.
3. I think its nice to meet at a chill place to eat and drink, having a alcoholic drink being entirely optional. I had suggested Billys Longbar on San Mateo just north of Montgomery because it is such a place, and because I know the management/staff pretty well. They don't care who drinks alcohol or eats what, and they have a great big overflow parking lot in the back where its convenient to check out each others rigs. However, if this place makes anyone uncomfortable, I am open to any better suggestion.
4. I would like everyone to consider making this a regular event, say twice a month. We all have other lives, but if we have a regular time/day, we can plan accordingly.
5. I would like to keep it very informal and not too long, something of a drop in for a visit, get to meet other FJers, have some food or drink if you wish, check out mods, and move on or stick around as you like. I am sure that this will lead to other get togethers for off-road fun and such, but I think a social meeting/planning venue is a necessary starting point for what most of us have in mind.
6. I would like to propose this be done during the week. I know this is a bit inconvenient to some, but there is method to this madness: This way, if we are planning any off-road events, (which we will) they will likely be on Saturday's and Sundays, so we can get the final planning done, and make preparations and meeting arrangements for whoever will be going.
In light of this, I would like to propose two regular dates/times:
Choice A
The first and third Thursday's of the month, after work, 5:30 to 8:00 pm. (In March this would be March 1st, and March 15th).
Choice B
The first and third Tuesdays of the month, after work, 5:30 to 8:00 pm. (In March, this would be March 6th, and March 20th).
Let me know what you all think,
Marc
