I would like to gauge interest in a 2012 meetup. I envision it to be on a Saturday in mid October and located somewhere in the Indianapolis Indiana area. Please let me know in a reply if you:

RSVP no matter what the date.
Tentative
Can't make it this year.

This will help me decide on a location and what vendor support I'll need. Hit me with questions if you have them. Thanks!

UPDATED: The 2nd Annual Meetup will be held on October, 20th, in a location TBD. 95% sure it will be the North Indianapolis area. Page 2 of this post is where RSVPs start. Pleast RSVP if you know you will attend. Thank you!

Fantastic!

RSVP -- but dependent on WAF (Oct. WAF low = 20th, WAF high = 6th, 13th, 27th)

Location: Fry’s if possible (If they had a room I would think they would be thrilled to have a bunch of Enthusiasts with itchy credit cards in the house – maybe they would even help sponsor?)

Drinks/food: Sahms Bar & Grill @ 7878 E 96th St. – close to Fry’s :D locally owned and great food & drink
Another Place: Alibis Bar & Grill @ corner of N. Shadeland Ave & Shadeland Station – just S of E 75th St (locally owned -- great hot wings) :D
Never been to The RAM but it looks interesting too!
Lots of other locally owned gems as well as chains on 96th and 82nd streets though.
Even the Casleton Grill on 82nd (locally owned) had free wifi the last time I was there and I think they do groups and the food is good.

I could care less about 90% of their stuff, but the components section is awesome. Or at least the one in Orange County is.

Is it just me or is the reply "RSVP unless my wife says otherwise" not really an RSVP?

I'm Tentative....mainly because I have to find child care for my kids on the weekend.

You should bring your kids so we can continue to brain wash them as future geeks.

Maybe Fry's or Dave will sponsor a "Kids Korner" for possible Geek assistance.

Just to clarify , the "Boss" I referred to in my previous post....


RSVP no matter what the date. Unless my Boss intervenes.


is actually my "Boss" at work. I'm sure my Wife would more than oblige me to be out of her hair for a couple days.

As a matter of fact..... she constantly says I should really get More Hobbies. ;-D

I am with you. My wife doesn't get a veto vote over what I do, same as I don't over what she does. However, it will not even be an issue, since 10+ hours is further than I am willing to drive for the meet up.
