That would be great, but it is a little early for me to commit. I will have a better idea of my available schedule once school starts back up.

 

[Luecke2326]

Yeah, same here. I’m hopeful though.

Sounds great! That’s right in the meat of budget season at work, so I’ll need to wait until we finalize the schedule.

 

[TheVez2]

Hope you all can make it. We scheduled it out a ways to give folks time to plan.

 

[dmshaver]

I'll be there, looking forward to it. Hoping for a good turnout.

 

[TheVez2]

So far we're up to 4 confirmed! LOL.

KJ, do you have a venue in mind? I've never been to a meetup and may be interested.

Yes, we're having it at a private art galley.

 

[TheVez2]

Bump, we're about a month away!

An art gallery sounds like a great venue. Too far for me to come for one day, but I had a great time at the 2014 KC meet.

 

[dmshaver]

2 weeks away.

Gents,

Unfortunately, due to an act of nature, we are having to postpone our meetup. The building we were going to use has succumbed to age and heavy rainfall, and has partially collapsed (the opposite side from the gallery). It has been closed off by the city until the rest of the building can be certified safe. No idea how long this will take.

We lacked sufficient time to find a suitable replacement venue, so we will reschedule this at our earliest ability. We are looking for a new venue to use, and any help in this manner would be appreciated. Please PM me if you have any ideas.

Tough luck guys. I just dropped in to wish you a good meet and bump the post.

Thanks for the thought. We'll get this updated when we figure something out.

KJ, I have driven past that building! Wow. We had about four inches of rain in Lawrennce over a three day period last week and everthing is still soggy but not flooded. Thank goodness it all came down as showers and not downpours. It looks like the building had a flat roof and water built up on it. It has been dry as a bone this year around here most of the summer and I bet there were cracks in that roof and whatever material was under it sucked the water right up. On the other hand, I was not going to make the meet-up and maybe this will give me the chance to attend a new one.

PS: It should have been said first but I certainly hope no one was hurt in that collapse. Sorry for the social faux pas. It looks like there was a pretty nice solar array installed there too. There is never a good time or way for this sort of thing to happen.

 

[Phog Allen]

Wow. I was just watching Fox4 out of K.C. and they said another roof partially collapsed either at Border Brewing Co or right close to it. I believe it is just across or down the street from that art house district gallery in your photos. Freaky.

 

[dmshaver]

That's on the same side of the street, & one block west of the gallery. Lots of old buildings in that area. I hope there are no injuries in this latest collapse.
