Des Moines GTG

[bush715]

It seems like people have shown enough interest to make this official. As of right now the GTG will be in Des Moines, Iowa. We will meet up at Bandana's BBQ in West Des Moines. I'm thinking at 6 pm since it is a Friday night. If weather permits we may have a short cruise. If you have any questions get a hold of me through pm or just ask for my number.

[Overdub]

hmmm sure you wanna do hessen haus? might not be able to park all together there

[bush715]

It was the only suggestion for a place that I got. If you can think of another place that would be better then I'm down.

[Overdub]

if you guys want downtown, el bait shop at least has better parking and a better selection of food.

[bush715]

Venue for the GTG has changed.

[turboA4]

Friday night = no good for me

[stollen]

if you guys want downtown, el bait shop at least has better parking and a better selection of food.

:sly: No way you are getting good parking at el bait shop on a Friday past 3 in the afternoon. Trust me. I rarely find one remaining spot there at 3:30 or 4.

The guy that owns the business to the south that kind of shares a parking lot WILL have you ticketed, I also know that from personal experience :(

[bush715]

okay does anyone have a good idea for a place to meet because so far both ideas have been downed.

[zlarson]

how about Firkin Fox. they have lots of parking available.

[MrFlippant]

if you guys want downtown, el bait shop at least has better parking and a better selection of food.

Fail. Hessen Haus Food > El Bait Shop Food.

Also, there is a massive parking lot directly across 4th St from Hessen Haus which would more than likely be mostly empty by the time we got there.

[roksax]

bandana's bbq in wdm would have plenty of parking and is quite tasty if i do say so myself

[MrFlippant]

^That's true.

[benstuh]

okay so where are we going again??

[bush715]

Hu Hot?

[benstuh]

haha mongolian grill!!
never been there before..
would be down for that.

If you guys go here I could show up since its not a bar. Bar and 2 year olds don't match.

[bush715]

Never had bandana's bbq so I'd be down for it

[thedeezel]

bandana's is good, would any other night of the week besides Friday be good for others, Friday is not the best choice for me either.

[MrFlippant]

I'm not picky what night it is.

[benstuh]

same here. just need a place and a time haha

[bush715]

I can only do friday's since its my only for sure free day. I'm thinkin bandana's would be the place for us to go

[weltzinm]

bandana's sounds good to me I'm always down to check out new bbq places and thats also if I can make it

[bush715]

I have updated the GTG bandana' bbq sounds like the best bet

[twooly]

Good choice guys. Ill try my best to be there, 2 year olds tend to make the decision :D

[benstuh]

looking forward to seeing you guys :)

[roksax]

cool! Bandana's it is!

[kaninchen]

okay so where are we going again??

[Overdub]

I will be honest I dunno where this place is....

[roksax]

4570 University Ave, West Des Moines

Just west of the big Barnes & Noble.

[Jameson250s]

im sad its on a FRIDAY not a saturday so i cant make it due to WORK

[stuckinames]

I'm thinkin I might be a team player, skip hockey, and come down for this from ames despite the -5000 degree weather.

Anybody going from ankeny or ames that wants to meet up on the drive?

[05GLISU]

Damnit, in the air if I should come or not. Bandanas is about 1 minute from my house and their pork platter completes me. Ahhhhh decisions.

[benstuh]

anyone know the pricing at bandanas?

[roksax]

They're pretty cheap, like 7 or 8 bucks for sandwiches, 9 bux for a tasty pork platter that I usually get that'll feed me for 2 meals easy. Ribs and some of the other platters are a little more expensive.

[Jameson250s]

u guys suck

[zlarson]

I'm thinkin I might be a team player, skip hockey, and come down for this from ames despite the -5000 degree weather.

Anybody going from ankeny or ames that wants to meet up on the drive?

[Alex_715]
