Southern Meet and Greet

[artistgonewyld]

I would love to get a solid group of Southerner's, mainly from Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, or Georgia, to come together on this thread and start talking and set up a possible time to meet, talk, laugh, and get to know each other. If anything else happens, so be it. I would be happy to coordinate and organize.

I would like to set something up for the weekend of April 6th, or April 20th.

I would love to get to know several of you and for us all to become friends. I think a good place to meet could be Meridian, MS, or Tuscaloosa, AL. Both have excellent access to several bigger cities.

Please feel free to contact me and discuss ideas, but only serious responses are needed. If you are a Southern outside one of the states I mentioned, but are interested and willing to travel, feel free to respond.

I live in Mississippi and I've talked to a few people about this concept. I noticed how the Southern Gang Bang concept failed to reach an end.

This isn't necessarily a GB thread, but just a meet and greet and have fun thread.

Anyone interested?

Sounds like a good idea.

Hi, I'm from Louisiana. I am one of the people from the GB thread. However, I would be interested in a general get together. Weekends are the best time for me to make any kind of trip. Don't know what you had in mind, but if there is any way I lend a hand let me know. Thanks.

Sounds good. I'm from Metairie originally, where are you?

I would love for ten to fifteen of us to start conversing and to meet up some place and just have fun and get to know each other. There are a couple people I think will be interested, but we need serious people and people who are cool.

I'm in Slidell, LA. This type of meeting, I think, is possibly how the GB thread should have started. I don't think too many people are going to just show up at a hotel, or something, to have sex with others they have never really met before. People think it sounds good at first, but when the time gets closer people think again and back out.

When I lived in FL I used to meet with a group of people from a Yahoo group just how you are describing. I thought that went well. A bunch of us would get together and have dinner and then from there would decide if we wanted to go somewhere else or not.

I totally agree. I think we could all meet up at some restaurant and just talk and have fun and get tyo know each other. It should be a select group. Anyone who decides they wanna play can go in together and get a hotel room. If several of us decide to get a room, it'd be very cheap. I imagine we could do it in Meridian or Hattiesburg, or tuscaloosa, or someplace similar...

 

[zen1974]

Yeah, I'm in total agreement with you on your post. I also caught your posts in the GB thread, and I think what your saying here should basically apply for that group to. You mentioned select group. How do you want to determine that?

One idea that I have is perhaps we should get everyone who is showing some interest to get on a yahoo conference. Then we can talk easier than these posts. I think I mentioned something like that on the GB group but it did not seem to go anywhere.

NOT interested in a GB, but it would be interesting to meet other Litsers.

I think we could easily set something up.. I think a good group would be people who seem to get a long nicely on here, have similar interests, and all live within fairly close radius of each other.

I think anyone who is interested, simply leave a note here and I'll PM you. If you seem cool and are interested, we can start to share our emails, I use yahoo, and possibly get into a conference.

Or...

We could just decide upon a time and place and see who all is interested in coming to that event, and then we could organize from there.

What do you guys think?

Obviously there needs to be an equal compliment of girls and guys.

Sultrylover, I'd love to have you involved. I know a couple other people who might also be interested, and I'll get them to post here.

Tell me which of the options would be preferred.

 

[zen1974]

My vote is to set a time and place for a get together. However, I'm ok with a yahoo conference, or something to that effect, if others want to do it. Yahoo just seems easier to talk on than posting on here.

My idea is to pick a resturant where we can get a big table, have lunch, and get to know each other. From there we can discuss going out somewhere else if we want to.

GA here....

Always interested in fun, *local* memebers.

 

[artistgonewyld]

My on the spot suggestion is for the 1st or 3rd weekend in April, and let's say in Hattiesburg or Tuscaloosa.

Any thoughts on that, folks?

 

[zen1974]

The first weekend of April in Hattiesburg sounds good to me.

 

[mistertripps]

I can't do those weekends in April, but if it works for everyone else, don't wait on me. I've got to arrange it around my travel schedule anyway. Unfortunately, I usually travel during the week so it will be hard for me to get away on weekends. Not sure my wife would approve.... Even though I'm just looking at it as a social event.

 

[kazzanderlord11]

everyone is here but the most important people invloved.......... the females. really hate to sound so negative, but as usual, no input from them

 

[rozezwild]

As someone who has hosted a half-dozen Lit-togethers, and attended at least that many more elsewhere, I applaud all y'all on wanting to meet face-to-face. It makes your lit experience so much more fun and personal after getting to know the folks behind the screen name.

In my experience, the best way to have a gathering is for one or two people to decide they're going to make it happen and CALL IT. (If you build it -- they will come) Pick a time and place that makes sense to you, then announce it on the boards in general terms. If people can attend, they will. Some won't be able to because of other commitments or whatnot. It happens. There will never be a perfect time for everyone. Once you do meet, however, you will very likely want to do it again. If you come back here and post how fun it was, I assure you, those who missed out will probably make it to the next one.

The quickest way to KILL the enthusiasm for a gathering is to talk it death before reaching agreement. I've seen many threads where people couldn't agree on dates or places and ended up mad over it. Those Lit-togethers were stillborn.

Whoever takes on the responsibility of setting it up picks the location -- maybe checks with the restaurant about putting the group in a corner. One gal once arranged special drinks prices...but that's not a requirement. It's more a courtesy to the business establishment -- to let them know you're bringing in a group.

In Texas we established a few ground rules that have worked well: First: You do not post the name of the restaurant or place you're meeting at. Post the date and time and city, but not the exact place name. This is for security reasons. Have everyone who wants to go, PM the "host" for name & directions...that sort of thing.

Second: Regarding photographs -- be very clear from the get go about how this is to be handled. Some have said "no photographs. period." We found that by announcing our policy at the beginning of the party (and posting about it) what worked well was: "You must have the person's direct permission to take a picture first and absolutely NO sharing of photographs after the party with anyone who was not present at the party. Also, no posting of any pictures either."

As for balancing, male and female, that's not something that can be manufactured. Same for total numbers. People swear they're coming and things happen. Others aren't sure they can make it and miraculously do. Keep expectations on the lower end and you'll be so surprised at how much fun you have meeting everyone.

Also try to give a minimum of 3-6 weeks' notice. Less than three is not enough for some to make arrangements and plan. More than 6 seems to drag it out too long and make people lose excitement and interest.

It's REALLY fun to meet folks from the board. I highly recommend it. I could go on but this post is really too long already. Good luck and much FUN with your party!

Is this still on?
