proposed grand opening date: 25 july 09

That is at least 3 of the full members that can’t make it… maybe we should reschedule it by a week?

the main reason to have it on the 25th is that there will be no one living upstairs on that day, a week earlier is a real crunch to get things going, a week later means we could be disturbing the neighbors :slight_smile:

Yeah, it’s to bring more awareness to the group. Invite other groups, tell the press or what not. This is just as much of a fundraiser/membership drive as it is a party. IMO.

Besides, most full members will be lingering around the spaces most of the time anyhow. It’s not like you wont see them :slight_smile:

I think we need to hold a vote on the date.

Allow me to clarify. I am concerned that a number of intial start up full members will not be able to attend. Kind of like not attending your kid’s first birthday party. Not fun. I’m fine without a vote since the people in question are ok with the 25th. Honestly I’m sad that they won’t be able to be there. I think that sucks and frankly it kind of pisses me off at how quickly we decided on this. I, personally, do not care about any particular musician’s performance schedule. I do care about our neighbors and their peaceful enjoyment of their home. Having talked to both of the people in question I suppose that the 25th will be fine. But I do want to raise a serious concern that this wasn’t put to an official vote. I would appreciate if large decisions like this were handled by a voting process that allows people time to consider a proposal. Not all of us spend most of our waking moments in front of a monitor.

Ok, we should get into the habit on voting for things.
