| === Technical Meeting: Tuesday December 12th ===
| | Bring your calendars, so we can schedule the December virtual board gaming night. Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know. |
| The December "technical" meeting (ie gaming) will be held at the standard day and time, Tuesday December 12th, 6 pm. Since things just don't seem to be panning out for gaming at Cinemagic or Chateau (more details will remain below), we're going with the old standby of Lounge51 (formerly Xgames).
| |
| | |
| Location: Lounge51, 115 North Broadway, this is next door to the Senior Center and just south of the railroad tracks. This is NOT the old Xgames location.
| |
|
| |
|
| When: Tuesday December 12th, 6 pm. However they open at 10 am, so you're welcome to start earlier. Also, while Lounge51's posted closing time is 9 pm, if three or more people want to keep playing and they're paying hourly rates, Lounge51 stay open later.
| |
|
| |
|
| Cost: $5/hour if a non-member. Other options are memberships or day passes.
| |
| Snacking options: Pop, sugar, snack foods, basically anything that doesn't actually require a food license for them to sell.
| |
|

| Games available (and # of simultaneous players allowed): They have 24 computers. See http://lounge51.com/content/Games.aspx for a 6-12 month old list of games. Many more are now available. As far as licensing, that varies. Some games are available on every computer at once, and for those it's not available all at once it sounds like things are at least improved over Xgames' limitations. Examples I was given on the phone were:

Outdoor Social: Monday July 21st
Olmsted County Fair night! 6 pm.
My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings. I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know.
Map here. At 6 pm we’ll meet at the parking lot (red star on the map, central to the “block”), and if you want to catch up to us a little later, try around the Graham Arena buildings adjacent to the green star on the south end of the fairgrounds.

Lunch at RochesterFest. We'll be sitting at a picnic table on the far side of the tent from the music, to hopefully lower the decibel level enough to still talk. Also trying to get line of sight on the pet events, like frisbee dogs.
Food trailers are supposed to be open by 11 am, 11:30 am will give us a little better chance at getting parking.

Mini golf outside social, Wednesday May 14th
6 pm
Blue Lagoon mini golf, the new mini golf place that opened late last fall, on the NW side of town
Unlike most of our events, this social is not free, pricing is here. The second round is significantly cheaper ($5/person), so if we finish in good time we might try to squeeze in a second round before they close at 8 pm.

Outdoor Social: Geocaching hike, equinox weekend, Friday March 21st
6 pm
We'll start at the dog park just north of Essex Park (red circle) for a short walk. Then depending on the walking conditions, we'll walk or drive to the two caches NE of that dog park (orange circle), and then down to the one Essex Park cache that we haven't chased recently (yellow circle).
Join us at the March 13th meeting to help pick a day/time/location to help us meet the equinox souvenir criteria.
Afterwards, we'll drive to 25th Street and 25th Avenue NW, in the residential neighborhood just south of IBM park, for a locationless geocache.
