Subject: [UFO Chicago] UFO Chicago In-Person Meetings



Centuries ago, Nostradamus predicted that James L Mazurek would write on Tue Aug 27 12:30:25 2024:

I have no objection to altering the date of the September in-person
meeting (I don't understand how your other proposed alternative --
altering the location of the meeting -- addresses the problem: if
September 8 conflicts with the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest,
it'll still conflict with it if you move the meeting somewhere else).

If you only have in-person meetings once a month, how can you tell if
someone is infrequently attending them?  Anyway, I have no objection
to keeping the Golden Nugget location for alternate in-person
meetings, and I have no objection to scrapping the Golden Nugget
location and having all of our in-person meetings at Wendy's.  I
actually have a slight preference for meeting at Wendy's all the time,
but not enough of a preference to make me object to the Golden Nugget
location.
