1. DU meetups are awesome!

Here in PDX we held them Saturday afternoons. That way the non-partiers could get home at a decent hour, and the rest of us could get warmed up real good for the dark hours. I'm hoping to resurrect the tradition in May, now that I have my life back

Have fun!

2. There are so many awesome DUers. I met quite a few years ago.

Good luck on putting together a meet-up out there. I'm staying in the northeast for now.

This Spring when the DUer rug took some personal time away, I became worried. As my DU friends would if I was gone without telling someone. At this moment less than half a dozen DUers have my phone number. I'm 64. If I disappear no one will know why. I want do change that.

I'm happy for you!
However that happened you sound pleased about the change.

4. for a sad reason tho

Gram passed away in Feb. I've been taking care of her full-time for about 6 years, so everything else has been on the back burner.
She's in a better place now.

[In_The_Wind]

5. I am so sorry for your loss.

[libodem]

7. I'm in Idaho

PDX would be an hour flight or an 8 hour drive. I've wanted to meet other DU'ers for a long time.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. That would be so cool

I'll be posting threads about it in the Oregon Forum in the next week or two. Skinner used to let me make the final announcement thread in GD so we didn't miss anybody.
A warning tho.. we don't hardly get around to discussing politics, usually. But we end up having great conversations about everything else under the sun, and drinking the best microbrews in world at the same time

[libodem]

18. Sounds fun

I would love it.

[HERVEPA]

3. Where in PA are you planning this?

[In_The_Wind]

6. I'm pushing for the junction of NY/NJ/Pa.

rug offered these suggestions.

We are open to any and all options.
Where would you like to see this meet-up?

[HERVEPA]

19. OK. Probably a bit far for me (Phila area)

[Xyzse]

8. It would have to be a Saturday if I were ever to go

Late in the day, since I am usually in a business meeting in the mornings.

[In_The_Wind]

10. Ok. Will you plz add that to this poll?

I will keep this thread kicked.
And I will send PMs if necessary about the information.
Hope to meet you there.

[Xyzse]

12. Thanks

I think it would be fun.
What would the activities be?

[In_The_Wind]

13. Drinking. Meeting DUers. Laughing.

Can't think of any better way to spend an afternoon into the evening than visiting with DUers.

[Xyzse]

14. Cool!

One more soda/juice binge day for me.

[In_The_Wind]

15. That's all my designated driver drinks. You'll be in good company

He is 24 years sober on Dec 3rd.
He doesn't mind how much (or little) I drink.

[Xyzse]

16. Oh... I tend to be DD

Every single time since I barely drink... Very very rarely.
Especially if I know that there is a drive after.

Only time I drink is at home with others.

[mrmpa]

9. Love to , but...........

I'm in western PA & it is a trek and a half to get to the east.

[In_The_Wind]

11. PA is a wide state. Perhaps this will encourage another one is western PA.

I will travel to that one also. [img][/img]

[liberaltrucker]

20. Same problem as mrmpa

It's 330 miles from Butler to Milford and after my recent
trip back home, money's a little tight. I'd really love to
meet you and rug, but can't right now.

[In_The_Wind]

21. I do have one DUer in western PA that I will visit sometime this summer.

Maybe we can all get together for coffee or a different meet-up.

[liberaltrucker]

22. Cool!

I'll save a couple of sick days at work.
All I need is a couple weeks notice to
schedule them.

[In_The_Wind]

23. I will do that.

I'll bring along another retired truck driver.
After 34 years he will be driving a pilot car with me.
He is returning a Kenworth to Texas now.

[sheshe2]

24. To far away...

My suggestion,

ITW

[In_The_Wind]

25. I'm on my way to Massachusetts anyway.

I drove to Boston way too many tomes a few years ago.

[sheshe2]

26. Well okay then~

This could work~
