Yeah, you're right. Just plan it.I really like the idea! I guarantee I'd attend.
Just a few suggestions:
*Like any get together, people say they'll be there and inevitably, some, maybe even most, don't show up.
Other things come up, they forget, change their mind, etc,,,, So I'd be reluctant to promise a restaurant any numbers. Another thing, some people will love the place, some will complain about it.
*I've seen other meets like these online. It seems like they meet at a parking lot like one at a forest preserve, or a business parking lot on a day that the business(es) are closed.
Needless to say, it would be wise to get permission in advance. If people meet somewhere and would like to go to a restaurant, they could follow each other/you and go there as a group.
Here's an example from YouTube:
*WherEVER you have it, it will be close for some and far for others. Those that want to come will come. As someone mentioned, some people rarely wander far from their mailbox. In my case, I'd drive an hour or two to try a recommended restaurant. There is no right or wrong way. It seems like you're thinking of having it in a large metropolitan area, not in the middle of nowhere.
I used to organize seminars in the city. I'd guess 90% of the people lived less than 30-45 mins away. ONE person drove far from Pekin. They drove about 3 hours, but wanted to be there. A side note: He asked if we could move the training to Pekin so it would be close to him.!.!
I hope that helps.
Plan it. I'm sure people will participate if they want to be there.
I'll watch this thread. I hope it happens. If so, I will be there.
Thank you
