New meet thread! Thorndale K-Mart, Saturday, 7PM! I'll be there!

For all the people in the downingtown/coatesville/west chester/exton area, why dont we try to get something going again? The exton meets never really happened, which was disappointing. Is anybody else in for this? I know theres people around here, and I think we need to have something of our own instead of having to drive to KOP or places like that. Not totally sure on a spot yet, but downingtown does have a lot of places that are potential meet spots. Shoot even the park in Downingtown would be decent. Plus, its right next to Wawa lol. So yea, anybody else down for this? Or does anybody have any suggestions? We got like 7 people so far, lets keep'em comin!

i am from Coatesville and totally agree with you about getting something happening closer around here. I am fairly new to TST and would like to meet some other members. I would be down with a meet anywhere in downingtown,exton, etc. I'll try to think of a place. In the meantime lets see how much interest comes along.

I think the problem with this area...esp. west chester is the cops seem to be more agressive around places of business... Also, its seems like most of the 'active' TST members seem to be concentrated in the Bucks/Montco...
I can't think of anywhere around here thats hassle free. Best situation would be like the Freshworks meets.. They actually have permission to meet there. We need someone with an "in" with management somewhere, with a decent sized parking lot.

**edit** How about somewhere in Painters Crossing? That might lure some Delco people...or The Regal in Downingtown (where wegmans is). Thats the only place I could think of where we would have an 'excuse' for loitering in the parking lot. Theres restaurants, movies, etc. that are open till 11pm.

That is one place I was actually already thinking about. I honestly dont think we'd have much trouble there, especially since the parking lot is so big we could just stay towards the back.

just want to put this out there that the movie theatre in frazer(united artists) is never ever ever ever busy during the week.... BIG parking lot and like 20 cars in it on a week night MAYBE.

also i think its k mart or something in thorndale across from happy days has a big parking lot if i remember but i dont live around there so i dunno how the cops and local businesses would react.

just my $.02

I didn't think about frazer but, I think it would actually be worse if the place was dead....we'd stick out like a sore thumb.

my suggestions for making a meet successful, based on my experiences:

-make a good descriptive thread title with what, when, where (change what you have now for sure)
-set a what when and where, and stick to it, no matter what. dont change it all the time. keeping it the same makes it something people can plan on without having to make sure its still going on... this will have a positive effect on turnout.
-find a location ideally that you have permission to meet in, and keep an eye on troublemakers. if you act like assholes, the meet wont last

ok i think thats it to start. the meets always start small but as long as they're well organized and the same day and same time every week, they will grow for sure.

i totally agree... the side lot of kop is always empty and the cops dont usually say anything till people start getting rowdy... if its a chill meet especially at a place where trouble hasnt ever gone down then maybe they will let it slide so they can see why we are there.


one more option.... there is a HUGE parking lot off to the side of k-mart in exton. if you are looking at k mart it is off to the left. it is the one that they keep the big bulldozer in. im sure u probably kno which on im talking about.

i would go along with getting something going around here...as long as its on the weekends, i work at night. I def. don't wanna drive up to kop. it takes me a good 40 minutes to get there from my apt. and at 3.30 a gallon, it adds up.

pick someplace that has food nearby though...i always get hungry at meets

Ok thank you troll for the advice. I know weekends seem to be the best option for MOST people, so lets try a weekend. You guys wanna say its a weekly Saturday thing then? As for where; well I know that if we meet in the Thorndale k-mart parking lot, theres a bunch of places to eat around there. Also, the garden center side of the parking lot is HUGE and will deffinitly be able to fit more cars then we'd probably have. I honestly dont think we'd have much trouble from the cops. Then again, behind k-mart there is a strip of stores that has a pool hall, a liquor store, restaraunt and some random ****, that has a decent size parking lot, and is pretty dead at night. So why dont we say we'll try the k-mart parking lot and see how that goes. As for time, anybody have any preferences? I mean do you guys think it should be later like 8pm or earlier like 4-5pm? I'm down for whatever. You guys let me know, and we'll try to get this thing off the ground.

240sxDann,

Just an idea... Put everyone's name who's interested in meeting on an 'attendance' list at the bottom of your first post. That way it will be easy to kinda gauge the turnout. If we can't even get 10 people, its kinda not even worth doing, ya know?

i think im going to the phillies game this sat, but i can try to make it out next week, sat's are normally bad for me. not to rain on your parade but saturday meets normally aren't that good, it seems like most people have better things to do on saturday nights than sit around in a parking lot. good luck with getting it going though.

i used to have a friend that worked at that kmart, we used to always act like assholes in that parking lot and never got in any trouble. if doing doughnuts at 10 at night doesnt get the cops after you, a simple meet shouldnt get busted up.
