Meet up a nice 💡💡

Just wanted to know if the moderators and regular people on here would like to meet up at a restaurant somewhere in LA just to get people together seeing how we all know each other. David E k.m. Richard anyone else up to the idea
 
I do know last year didn't work out due to medical issues for the moderators. I was hoping with time that could change
 
🤷‍♂️

Gee, seems like it's only a nice idea for a very few number of souls out there in the ether.
 
David would have to drive in from Palm Springs. I am limited by health issues to traveling only within about a 20 mile radius of my home. Mike is up in Sacramento.

I imagine Kelly's response would be the same as last year's.

These days, "meet ups" for participants in online forums seems to be a much less popular idea than they used to be. Even Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters Hollywood Media Professionals, which I was active in for many years, has only held two luncheons in the past year, and I suspect the next one on November 2 wouldn't be happening except for the recent passing of one of the founders (the luncheon is to be a tribute).

In fact, (having just gone back and checked and now adding this in an edit) after the pandemic-created hiatus in luncheons ended, they have had exactly one other luncheon besides the two I referenced, and that was after a gap of four years ... not just because of that hiatus but also the fact that one or two luncheons had been cancelled in the months before that.

I am also aware that a number of my colleagues who were members back in 2020 have since declined to renew their memberships, as have I. That hasn't prevented them from allowing anyone who will buy a ticket to attend (a filled seat is still a filled seat) but they now take place at the Hilton in Woodland Hills, which is about the farthest away from where most of the members live as you can get without being in the next county) and that has caused the organization to deteriorate faster than the Oldies format.

To make matters worse, for the tribute luncheon they are back to "members only".

And James thinks a "meet up" for here would work??!!!??

James, I appreciate the sentiment. I really do. But no.

I just did, and only hope this one doesn't get as out of hand.

James, a polite suggestion: Take this idea off of your bucket list. Don't ever bring it up again, please.

I made a polite suggestion which directly relates to the thread. That's "moderating"?
 
Dang, I would actually be up for a meetup. kind of curious of the faces behind these names haha. They had a meetup for San Gabriel Valley Reddit recently and no one got hurt haha. Anyone consider a Teams or Zoom virtual meet up? :)
