I can't make any Tuesday meets because of prior commitments, and I'd be able to make more of the weekend meets rather than Thursdays because of work. But in saying all of that, I'll make it to them when I can from now on.

I can't make Tuesday's meet because of work.

It was nice meeting everyone. I can't wait to autocross on Sunday.

I think the reason the other meets were unsuccessful is because nobody knew about them.

FWIW - We don't always go to Freebird's although that ironically does seem to be the meeting you make most (next to Gabby's). The only reason that the Freebird's meeting does get scheduled as often as it does is because like Gabby's it produces more average attendees. Gabby's, Freebird's and Barry's are always consistant performers (excluding weather or other issues).

I guess you haven't been looking at the club calendar recently. We are only scheduled to go to Freebird's 3 times this year... June, September and December. I would hardly call that "always".

In 2007 - scheduled 4 times (-1 canceled) = 3 times (Feb, Apr, Dec)
In 2006 - scheduled 4 times (+1 unscheduled) = 5 times (Mar, Jun, Aug, Sep, Dec)
In 2005 - scheduled 4 times (Mar, May, Oct, Dec)
In 2004 - scheduled 1 time (May, Dec)
In 2003 - scheduled 1 time (Dec)

So assuming we have about 12 events a year (we have a few more than that usually) that's 60 meetings of those 60 only 14 were at Freebird's or for you math geeks that's about 23.3 percent.

Stop exaggerating.

No problem...wish the quality was better before some editing. The mode was set wrong on the camera.

OMG can't believe i missed this -_- EVERYONE SHOW UP ON THE 4th!!!!

3 times is 3 times too many! For someplace that specializes in Burritos, you'd think they'd make a good one! There was no meeting for January or February so those 2 months were lack of any other location but very likely would have been at Freebirds had they taken place. I'm good with Gabby's and Barry's. Those places are cool. Freebird's needs to do food loving people a favor and go out of business.

Strike two -

January we had a meeting at Track 21 ( No one showed up except me)
February we had a meeting at Barry's (About 25 showed up)

but but.. i like freebirds =X.. super monster ftw... rudy's BBQ though.. awsome ^^

Of course no one showed up in January. There was no meet! You just went to ride go carts!

When was the February meet? I didn't see a thread on it.

As far as Freebirds goes, half of the meets in 2006 were there. That's too many. In 2007 you changed it to where half the meets were on a Saturday and hardly anyone showed up to those. Had they have been Tuesday meets, they'd probably have been at Freebirds! There's actually hope this year with only 3!

No one misses me!

Not to mention the Houstonrx8club website was down forever. Hard to make an event when theres no post and the website doesn't work.

I won't be able to make the Tuesday meet. I will be working until 7:30 that day.

DrKillJoY

It hasn't been down in a long time. Please let me know what kind of problems you are having getting on the website.

Jan meeting - That was the first Tuesday of the month. Yes, the meeting was at Track21. There was also a drag event as well that several members went to together.

Feb meeting - We were at Barry's... my camera is busted so I didn't take pics, but I'm sure someone has some.

Saturday meets - Sorry, everyone whines and complans there were no weekend metings, so we tried and it failed miserably. No as you can see Freebird's has never had more than 4 scheduled meetings per year for any year we have gone there.

For those of you keeping score that 33.3% of meetings based on a 12 meeting cycle. still quite a ways from "always" wouldn't you agree. As far as the food it's not my favorite either, but we would probably be in the minority of people who despise it.

If you have any good ideas for meeting locations please come forward with them, don't sit there and complain without merit... that's not like you.

I know you must have some ideas your just not sharing with us. Your just doing that thing we all despise where someone complains but they don't even have a different/better solution.

Bring it and I'll buy you a big beefy rib tomorrow night.
