Looks like y'all have as much trouble planning a get-together as we do in La.

It's simple. You set a date and location, everyone else adjusts their schedules to be there. It's a simple matter of priorities.
Obviously, OC is not a priority with most, especially if it conflicts with other, more "important" matters.

Yeah, it is simple but it seems if a meet's not set two months in advance y'all are bitchin that it's too soon and nobody can plan that quick etc etc.. If you think I'm lyin, just go back and look at the posts in our own section on this subject. It's ridiculous. Go look at the Michigan's Events Schedule thread and see just how pathetic the OC movement is down here. They do meets, dinners, picnic, litter pickups, you name it they use it as an excuse to OC together. When was the first post on this thread made? OVER A MONTH AGO and still no place/date/time!
No jeering from Louisiana either since a similar thread went from the 28th of April till May 20th to finally set the same. And it's in JUNE because May was just too soon to pick something. Bah!
I was hoping MS would set something up I could go to since it seems I can't ever manage getting to one of these rare LA get togethers.

All throughout history, it's been the same story. Even in the old testament, the Jews gave an excuse as to why they couldn't manage to attend the great feast the Master set for them. Today is no different.
Whether it's OC or whatever, most "movements" fail for lack of seriousness on the part of the people. No wonder the American revolution was fought by appx. 3 % of the population of the day. Most Amerikans would just as soon sit back and watch vs actually getting involved.
Liberty is NOT a spectator sport.

Ya'll locals need to find a good spot for a meetup. It would be bad if I had to drive right past you on I-10 on my way to the closest other meetup...in Baton Rouge.

| Indeed. I might just make it out that way. It has been many years since I've been to BR.

Well, I apologize for not being able to speak with the manager of the restaurant I was thinking of, ALOT has been going on with my business and I have been fighting tooth & nail to keep a customer...A good customer...WAY too much drama here lately, if I lose this customer, my $$ will go waaay down .
Anyway, the place I was thinking of was the LY Buffet on Hwy 90 in Pascagoula, they are a chinese style restaurant but have seafood also, if anyone wants to set a date, go ahead, I have OC'd there quite a bit with absolutely no problems and I don't feel like we would have any if a group of us showed up. They know me quite well as I have been going there for years.
I am going to pass this ball to someone else...Someone set a date, I will try my best to bring not only myself, but my family and a few friends as well.
Who knows, I may even be able to make it to LA meet also .
PS, if anyone knows of a better place, name it...I am just a passenger on this train .
Carry on .

If there's one "good" thing to come from this recession, it's a reminder to companies of just how important good customers are!
Oh, and I hope no one thinks I was criticizing you guys with my post. I just don't find enough excuses to drive to Mississippi to OC, and this would be a good one!
I like Chinese buffets. We're going to get lots of googly eyes, though!

We may get a few stares from other customers, but the staff is used to seeing me carry.
If I am able to make it, some of the people I will be inviting will all be pro 2A, but not all OC, or even carry at all, and there will be atleast one 11 year old there, my son will not miss a trip to the LY for nothing.

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in carpooling to the Louisiana meetup in Baton Rouge, I can pick you up if we meet somewhere close to I-10. I'll be driving in from Mobile, probably leaving Mobile at 8:30 or so. My vehicle seats myself and four others.
Okay, let's say it's official, Cracker Barrel @ Airline and I-12, high noon on Saturday June 13th.
Hope to see ALL of you there then !!! Last edited on Tue Jun 9th, 2009 10:08 pm by HungSquirrel

LOL. I sent that out to the discussion. You sent your message in while I was typing it and mine happened to pop in right after yours. Sorry for any confusion.
