Ahhh...thanks Gretchen. I guess it's obvious that I haven't been in Charlotte that long.

I think it would be nice to sit outside wherever we go, and I was thinking of Gado Gado's patio as well because of that. But again, I am very very open.

Robes, that would be great if you could join us!

So, does anyone want to throw out some possible dates? With the exception of a trip back to St. Louis next weekend I have nothing really going on until the holidays.

Tracy

Trac - that was a dig at me, Robes & I are seldom on the same page...er... seldom in the same book.

Aha....so I guess you guys aren't buddies then, huh?

I'm so excited to have a GTG and meet some fellow fodorites! So, any dates? How about the last weekend in September or any weekend in October? Friday night? Saturday lunch or dinner? Does any of these work/not work for anyone?

Thanks!
Tracy

The first couple of weeks in Oct. are out for me, I'll be in NOLA the first one, Ohio the 2nd. Sept. looks better. I'm inclined to have early drinks, & if people want to stay for dinner, the option would be available. But, I will defer to the majority, & seasoned GTGers.

SA, September works for me as well. I like the idea of starting out with drinks and maybe eating dinner if that's where it leads to.

Anybody else have any thoughts?

Wonder where brian is ? Haven't seen him lately.

Anyone going to be @ Matthews Alive ! this weekend ?

I'll be there tonight! We are leaving for St. Louis early tomorrow morning and won't be back until Tuesday so tonight is our only chance. I haven't been yet but heard great things so I'm looking forward to it!

We may see you there (if we knew what we looked like)...hmmm

Sorry I'm responding so late! I was gone for an extended holiday weekend and its been busy at work lately!

SA, it looks like we may be the only ones at the GTG because nobody else will respond with dates!!

Tracy

Hi - I just saw this post. I have been PC challenged and finally signed back on w/ a revised name!!! I am also in Charlotte and would love to come to the GTG, but I will be at Parents Weekend up at ASU in Boone the last part of Sept. I also have plans in mid-Oct, but don't let my schedule dictate.

Tracy - thanks for starting this thread.

Last try Tracy, I'm not sure where all of our CLT folks are these days.

Hi Bankbabe! Another Charlottean!

SA, I'm not sure what is up. Perhaps we should try for early November?

Tracy

Your guess is as good as mine...

Okay, I'm going to give this one last ditch effort and then I'm giving up!

If anyone is still interested, please throw some dates out there so we can get this started.

Thanks!
Tracy

Thx TRacy, I did see Brian on here the other day & Gretchen today...

Thanks SA...hopefully they will respond. It's so odd because everyone was on board until I started trying to narrow down a location and date. Hopefully we'll get some responses!

Hey tcreath- I am a new poster and would love to come to a GTG in Charlotte where I live.
Early November would be good for me. Just a suggestion- Big Ben Pub in Myers Park is fun as well as Sir Edmund Halley's - Park Rd Shop Ctr. We did a New Year's gathering there last yr. and it was really fun atmosphere.
Is Robispierre still coming? I have been reading Fodors for some time and would love to meet the "celebrity"!

Sorry- Robespierre- I misspelled..
