After solicitating date and place recommendations, I’ve come up with a list of options for an upcoming Middle Tennessee Dopefest. If you are considering joining the party, please vote for the options that suit you best.
Note that all of the restaurants listed except Garcia’s have a full bar. Garcia’s has bottled Mexican and American beers. All of them also have space for groups. The Bull and Whistle usually has a band that begins at 9:00 pm on Saturdays.

Oh, and please choose one each of a date and venue.
Thanks…

Obviously I can’t read directions. I voted for all 4 dates because I don’t care which one, and all 3 parks because I don’t care which one of them.

Oops. I am a dumbass. May 8 is out for me–MTSU graduation.

Date is okay anytime, so I checked them all. I prefer outside. Noise factors.

I’m not a Tennesseean, but within driving distance and would love to perhaps join in! Sounds like a blast!
I voted May 1, because I don’t know my work schedule for the whole month yet, but other Saturdays may be available.
If we meet in one of the parks will it be a bring a covered dish affair?

We’d be happy to have you join us!
IIRC, you’re a dog person. I believe that Old Fort Park allows critters. What do y’all say potluck or individual picnic if we’re outdoors?

Thank you for welcoming me! 🙂 Yes, I am the dog lady. If that park is chosen, I might just bring one of the beasts along… I think Nick would like to be a Doper Dog!
Either potluck of individual is fine by me. Hope I get to come!

Currently, Old Fort Park seems to be in the lead. Do y’all want a potluck or each of us bring our own picnic?
Personally, I think a potluck would be fun!

I love potlucks! I have been experimenting with Indian food. Yummy.

Potluck sounds fine to me.
