Folks, things are pretty dicey these days, and everyone finds themselves in a spot where they need a buddy.
I know there are several members in the Chattanooga area, we need to at least create loose connections so we can help each other. So how about it? I’m free most evenings. |
|
I'm in.
There's a gun show in Crossville in Feb, we could meet up there? Or meet at Hutton & Smith brewery in Chatt? |
|
I'm still trying to find work that would let me move up there, my wife is from Hixson and we're up there regularly checking on friends and family and her keeping up jewelry repair orders from various jewelry stores.

Well that’s cool you actually did it. Shame I don’t live in Chatt
|
|
Cool.
Like I said, most any weekday evening I'm good-to-go. We don't have to have anything formal, or fancy, or even have that many people (although the more the better). How does anyone feel about Tuesday evening, 12 January? Meet could be anywhere really, somewhere with reasonably priced food would be good. DISCLAIMER: We are NOT meeting to promote overthrowing governments, tossing tea into harbors, or any other such illegal activity. This is about creating networks of free people that can help one another, provide support, and discuss various items or mutual interest. |

Gun show in Knoxville at the end of the month.

Okay, if the weekend is better, I suppose that does make sense.
How about a week from tonight, Saturday 15 January? I’m relatively new to the area, so I don’t have a clue as to a spot. |

View Quote Sat is actually the 16th and my daughter is having some friends over and my wife will be out town so I am out for that night unless it goes late. |

View Quote If we do it on an afternoon, say 2pm, you could bring the daughter with you. She may not be enthralled with the idea though. Lotsa places around Hamilton Place we could meet, IMO. Just a thought. |

Okay, it looks like Saturday afternoon is going to be our best bet. The 16th can work for me.
Maybe 1:00, hang out for an hour or two. Miller’s Ale House has been suggested, sounds okay to me. Let’s see if we can get a rough idea of how many can make it. |

Great idea and has a real need, imho. I dont know how I haven't noticed the thread before.
I really would like to meet and make some connections. But I don't frequent anything alcohol or that serves alcohol. I am a Baptist that lives what he preaches and don't go to the liquor store to meet any Methodist. Don't change the meeting place on my behalf, I can meet some of the locals at some other point and time but really need to make some contacts. I have a fairly pliable schedule and can meet just about anytime except on Sunday's. |
|
Okay, I’m going to go ahead and call the time for 1PM on Saturday, and we’ll hang out as long as people want.
Miller’s has been mentioned, but I’m open to other venue suggestions. |
|
I'll do my best to make it happen, shouldn't be a problem. And I'm up for wherever.
Saw your GD post. Millers sounds good, I've never been there. It's near 75 which makes it good for everyone. |
|
Okay, just got off the phone with the manager at Miller's. NFL playoffs are going on this weekend, probably going to be a madhouse.
Maybe somewhere less "sports-bar"? |

Sounds like I'm late to the party but I'm likely in as well. The sentiment here is absolutely correct - this is not the time to be siloed.
|
|
I would love to be there but will not be able to make it this time.
Thanks for setting it up and hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the next one. |

Does anyone have an "in" with a restaurant manager to get us a meeting room or some such?

On a different note, anyone look to see if any north GA members are having a meetup or anyone post in the GA HTF as well? (I didn't look much less post...)
|
|
Okay, looks like we found a spot.
Aubreys in Hixson. 1:00 Saturday, and we should hang out at least an hour or two in case someone wants to come in later. https://aubreysrestaurants.com/hixson/directions/ We'll meet up, get to know each other, swap some contact info and maybe a few stories. Looks like good chow, beer and wine. I'm looking forward to it. |

View Quote It looks like there’s some interest but nothing in the works yet. I’m in on this one, I live just a few minutes over the GA line but I work in Hixson. I’ve been to Aubrey’s once, it was pretty good from what I remember. I moved here about two years ago and outside of work and church I don’t know too many people, so I’m looking forward to this. |

It’s just a group text app. Especially with Arf dropping randomly. |

Do we have any HAM/Baofeng veterans coming? I got my radio and cable last week, but have no computer currently to program.

Can't make it Saturday, sorry. Might be a good idea to trade some basic contact info (email, etc) in case the site goes dark again.
