Holiday GTG Time

[40/70 Benchmark]

Instead of me arbitrarily selecting a few dates, why don't we begin with some suggestions from those who are likely to make a strong effort to attend and then I can use that feedback to inform a subsequent poll.

As far as locale, perhaps we can poll that right off of the bat. I would prefer we meet in ORH just so that more of the WNE crew would feel compelled to attend and then some of us easties could always even do a side thing at Clarke's....

I think Funky Murphy's is so much better. 

1. Its a more centralized location which can help with turnout. 

2. The parking kind of blows but its much easier than trying tp park in Boston (and hell a cheaper...as in free). 

3. We get that giant space in the back.

Definitely going to have to be a Saturday if we do ORH......I know some of the Clarke's GTG's have been on a weeknight, but I'm not driving to ORH on a weeknight.

Saturday's seem to be best. I know the weeknights at Clark's have been great for those close to Boston during the week but for anyone outside of Boston that is pretty brutal. 

I think a Saturday like 12-1 PM for the early folks is perfect, even if someone stops by for 2-3 hours they're getting home at a reasonable time and still have time to do whatever else they may need to do for the day.

It has be on Saturday for me to make it because of my schedule. I'm in bed most nights by 7 pm. (not Saturdays)

I am adverse to weekends but will consider it depending on when.

Murphy’s works for me, being from Western areas.

Any beer?

The annual Jerry-Fest @weathafella on the Monday before Christmas at Clarke's (or alternative in that area due to the place closing at 8pm last year) works better for me due to my continued weekend situation with my mother, but if the date works for me on a Saturday in Worcester or where ever I will be there.

Okay...looks like ORH it is, but that doesn't preclude some of us from gathering at Clarke's shortly before the holiday....they aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe let @weathafellatake the lead on that.

As far as the ORH gathering, I think its safe to move on to settling upon a date because we seem to have a strong concensus already.
