wolverine 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 It seems like there are some forumers that can't make it to the Detroit meetups because of distance reasons or because of other inconveniences. I was wondering if any of you thought this would be a great idea to have one in Ann Arbor because there is a ton to do. There is also alot of great places to take pictures. There's a lot of historic architecture and a collection of buildings of what Albert Kahn called "his greatest work." We could have a great dinner at any of the restaurants downtown or go to any events if anything is going on. It's up to you guys. Anyone interested?

Allan 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 I'd be interested...haven't been over that way for a while. Actually I think the last time I was there was when I picked you up so we could go to Detroit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZachariahDaMan 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Sounds great to me. I love going to Ann Arbor and live close to it. I am actually going there in a couple days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Well, at least I don't have to get a ride anywhere. Would be tough on Friday and the weekends, though, since I work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Well, Fridays or Saturdays would probably work best for me, though I could do something on a Wednesday afternoon if need be. Sundays typically don't work all that well, since I have breakfast in Detroit in the morning, and then do all the work I've procrastinated on after that.

wolverine 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Same here Allan, I tend to procrastinate until Sunday. Technically a Saturday would work best for me. An afternoon on a Friday would be kind of rushed, especially for those who have classes or work. Now we need some more representation. GRap forumers? Michi, LMichigan...?

ZachariahDaMan 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Either a Saturday or Sunday would work best for me also. How about we set up a date soon and make it sometime in February. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jayblogger 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Saturday or Sunday work great... it might be a good idea to avoid the weekend of February 5th; that's Super Bowl weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michi 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Oh yah. That would be fun. I've never really explored Ann Arbor except the university and the two main streets. I have a really really really messed up semester currently and so I can only commit at spur of the moment I'm afraid. If anything formulates, I'll try to keep myself posted. An afternoon away from the books might be just what I need on a particular day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolverine 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 So do we want to set up a date sometime for this? I figured we'd wait after the excitement of the Superbowl got done with. Shall we do this sometime in March? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZachariahDaMan 1 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 Let's go ahead and set up a date since it's getting warmer, how about Saturday, April 22? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolverine 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 sounds good, I'm pretty sure I'll still be here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2006 That might work for me. My final critique is May 2nd, so I might be able to spare an afternoon.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolverine 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 Jsut keep in mind nearly the entire university will be moving out, so parking might be a bit difficult. The downtown ramps shouldn't be filled though. I'm sure we'll work things out. The best would be for you guys to park right in front of Couzens Hall where it's cheap. There's free parking on the side of the building because the meters haven't been installed yet, just poles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allan 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2006 I just realized that I have a Preservation Wayne meeting next Saturday at 12:00, so the earliest I could join you folks is probably 3:30 or so.... I definitely can't come in the morning, since I have another very important meeting that pertains to a conference in Washington D.C. that I am being required to attend.
