Fall QJ Rendevous Meal
Mar 18th, 2010 at 1:02pm
 
One of the things that was mentioned at this past Copia was the idea of having a Fall QJ meal as a way for those who can to meet, swap stories, go over maps, etc. This would be somewhere in the Twin Cities Metro area. Jimbo & Snowdog who both live in the TC have agreed to find a suitable restaurant, with a private room and no time limit. So, this poll is to gauge interest to see how many would participate, so they can find a place with appropriate capacity.

I'd be more likely to go if there was a speaker for a part of the evening -- I can think of a slew of topics -- and the Cities has lots of experts on a number of canoe country topics. 

I'd be willing to offer up some topic ideas and associated speakers for consideration to Jimbo and Snowdog, and even contact the speakers if there's interest in this idea, if that would be helpful. (I'm also in the Twin Cities.)

The Twin Cities are more convenient for me than Madison.  It would be nice if our room was a little more quiet.  I am not being critical of this past Copia, just suggesting an improvement.

The Cities I try to avoid... But for this I'm in. Would be fun to compare notes from the canoe season just past. October though I'll be in the Phillipines the first three weeks.

I like prouboy's idea of finding a speaker on a topic of interest to QJ. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can come up with...

Marlin -- Wilderness first aid is definitely a topic on my list!

I just found out that Midwest Mountaineering has a Fall Outdoor Adventure Expo, a free event, scheduled November 19-21. Any interest in planning a meal to coincide with this event? They always have a good list of speakers & topics (similar to Copia), so we might be able to piggy-back. ??

That would conflict with MN deer season. Hard time to travel for me and probably others also.
