Memphis Meet Up
Book Guy
I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.
TUSCL members and participants are codially invited to join in a meet-up in Memphis, Tennessee, some time in August.
Time, date, specific place, and other details still to be determined. Who's in? I am in! (Unless something comes up, of course, but I don't expect it to.) Below are my preferences. I'm happy to acquiesce to the group's preferences in the end, but this is what I'd LIKE.
I don't want to spend more than about $55 a night for a cheap but chain or chain-like hotel.
I will spend mornings at a Waffle House. I will perhaps shop in downtown Memphis (wonderful tobacco shop, the Memphis Tobacco Bowl, smack in the middle of the skyscrapers).
And I want to attend Platinum Plus, definitely; Christie's, definitely; and any places that others have a good recommendation about.
Any time this month (August), but no later. I would prefer not to stay in Tunica, since gambling bores me, though I will acquiesce to the group consensus when it comes to that. I will book my hotel separately in any case, as we all will. (Unless we get enough participants to get a group rate, LOL!)
I prefer a few weekday nights, plus a few weekend nights, perhaps a cascading overlapping set of consecutive evenings.
Your thoughts? Who's interested?

Sorry for the short notice. Thought someone should get on the stick so I just flung it out there.
But without Shadowcat or Golfer, I think an "official" Memphis meet would be nothing better than a disappointment. I may be there anyway, though now that S & G are out, I'll have to play it by ear. No commitments.
Official Meet Up no longer on for 13, 14, 15. Try again in late September. Keep checking this thread for BG's whereabouts regarding Memphis. Whenever I head up there, I'll try to let y'all know that I'm on my way. Email me with a physical description, and I'll let you know how you can recognize me too.
S, given that your evident "favorite" club is PP in Columbia, am I to take it you would have been driving ten hours for this meet up? Now THAT would have been dedication!
I will be visiting the city without any other time restrictions, so as long as other people agree to the dates I'll be free for any given specific scheduling of venue.
Outside of the a baseball game, that is. The Redbirds have a home game at 2:10 on Sunday and at 7:10 on Monday. (They are also in town the subsequent weekend, a home-stand from 19th to 27th). And if you haven't been to this ballpark but enjoy outdoor or sporting activities of any sort, you really owe it to yourself to see the place. Good seats for about $10, food and beer at obscene ballpark prices. It'll be hot!
