E & SW Marathon Night

Joe got me thinking when he said things had died down on the forum. With the better weather, longer daylight and work picking up (hopefully for everybody). Maybe we should have a night scheduled for non-stop posting here. Say 8-10 and set a night. I could get my wife to make an anti pasti, home made bread, ravioli, meatballs, sausage, braciole, tomato sauce. A salad and her cream puff ring for dessert. Maybe some pignoli cookies or some cannoli.

And we could just go at it all night

Joe,

If I knew how many people would be posting that night I'd have her make enough for everybody and set the table like you were all coming. Instead of 25 Lbs overweight I'll end up 40 and have lunch leftovers for a while.

No Joe, I would never let you down. Come mangia. Now we just need to get 20 more guys to commit to a night.

There seems to be quite a few people that are E & SW people according to their profiles that aren't joining in. I hope its not my constant posting of my lame brain thoughts. It would be nice to get more input than from just the 5 or 6 of us that seem to be active. Any thoughts to recruit more?


Nick

I think that Nathan should set up some sort of chat room for the forums.

Or, maybe we can make a specific thread in here ....... Call it, the E & SW BS thread.

oh... BTW, we used to have a chatroom but not anymore. There is no way to moderate a chatroom and all sorts of things happen in them.

Also, it takes away from the posts which is a resource that lasts a long time verses a one time chat.

Let me know the night, I'll stop in.
Probably won't stay for the duration, always to much other stuff to do.
I sort of do my posting "hit and run" style, only on for a short while at a time.

I'm not sure what that means, and I don't think I want to find out.

I agree with Nathan,, A chat room would probably kill the forum ,,and it is nice to be able to look back in the post's and get all that info...

I guess we should all meet back here on April 26th and plan a night. Any Ideas to get more people to join the forum as contributers? What got you to join in?

Maybe we could auction off Joe's new trailer?

Yes, Joe of you. If the trailer happens to be in it that would be nice too.

Nick

Things have picked up considerably since the other day.
