Over here in this week’s MMP, [we started talking about a Nashville get together](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-as-good-a-new-monday-mmp-as-possible/981700/237). @missred said that she’d be happy to join in a get together some Saturday but was leaving the organizing to someone else. Since I used to be the primary organizer for our regular get togethers in Philly, I happily stepped up to organize. We’re looking at a Saturday but at the moment the date is open. I’m not sure who has what availability when or where so I don’t want to throw out a “It’ll be this date!” (unless an out of towner like @Tripler or @Misnomer happen to be passing through). I’m also not 100% sure how many of us there would be or where most people would be located. I know we had a decent group back when I first moved to Nashville in 2005, but I’m not sure who, beyond a few, are still here anymore. So I guess my first question is… who is interested? From there, I can throw out some dates and places. @StGermain , @The_Stainless_Steel_Rat , are you guys up for the possibility ( **StG** , I know you’re local, and **metal mouse** , I know you’d mentioned you aren’t that far away.) ---

I’m interested of course and being about 100 miles away it’s no great issue for me to drive up and back one weekend. Right now, however, I am coaching kid’s soccer every Saturday through May, so that puts a crimp in my timing. But June should be clear. ---

I’d be good with that. Of course, I’m also good with trying to make this a monthly thing so people who have to miss one will be able to come to another one. I’ll be keeping things updated as I know more! And how could I forget to ask @Superdude to get his butt down here? Seriously, hon. You’re too close not to. ---

I’m up for it. StG ---

The place I’m thinking of, if everyone’s amenable and we can decide on a date, is Homegrown Taproom in Donelson. Though I’m willing to be overridden. ---

I’ll be up for an impromptu “OMG An Out-of-Towner is Passing Thru!” next time I’m out that way, but don’t let my absence _this time_ prevent any kickassery from ensuing. Tripler “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum . . . and I’m all out of bubble gum.” ---

Tennessee is not the state I’m in, not now or in the foreseeable future. ---

I can’t say I blame you. ---

Oh, I _WANT_ to come, but can’t.
