It's probably not going to work without someone putting a little effort into it and planning it.

I think this is a great idea! It’s a way to meet multiple people at one time. I do have a few suggestions:

Set dates for 2 consecutive weekends because a lot of people have weekends they rotate with jobs, kids, etc. Example: Saturday, April 18 and Saturday, April 25.

Schedule at least 2 weeks in advance. This gives people time to see if one of the dates fits into their schedule as well as more time to get the word out… which leads the next suggestion.

Have people put the info or a link to this chat at the top of their profile so that the word spreads more. If it’s at the top of the profile, it will be seen on the “match with” page and more people will know about it.

Lastly, people can post here if they will ‘maybe’ or ‘definitely’ be there and on which day so you can see an approximately how many will be there on which days and if you’re open to either day and happen to hope to meet someone specific, you can see which day that person plans on attending and likewise attend.

If I hadn’t had trouble sleeping and started cruising around on here, I would never have known anyone was thinking of getting a group together, so I think the most important thing would be to add it to the tops of profiles. If anyone actually sets a date, please send me a note so I can sign up and do whatever I can to spread the word.

A really great idea Kingme242!

If someone can plan a bit ahead, I'd probably be able to make it. However, April is too busy for me. Have fun if you go this weekend, though.

Those aren't Friday nights in April. Are you talking about a different month?

Ok, I've put a link to this chat at the top of my profile and have been spreading the word to those I talk with as well.

How about Friday, May 1st and Friday, May 8th as the date options?

A location was mentioned previously in one of the notes above.

Someone name a time.

Head count on who can maybe or definitely be there and on which date to see if these will work.

I'm a definitely for Friday, May 1st.

I'll be out of the country on May 1. However, if that works well for everyone else, go for it :smile:.
