Well, experienced my first bug on the forum (already looking into it). Typed out a long response, had an error uploading a photo, lost 15 minutes of what I typed. Haha.
Trying again, a few updates:
- We’ll have 30 people, we currently have 32 RSVPs who have pre-ordered. Working with the restaurant to see if they’ll accommodate, already have a waitlist going.
- There will be ~15 new faces.
- If you’re a regular, help carry the culture of Rigs & Brunch forward. Say hi to a new face, ask where someone has been, where they want to go, if they normally go out with folks, what their vision is for their rig, etc.
- Since I won’t be there, @Cassiano will be hosting! Grateful for his willingness to host (as I figure this out, I don’t want to bottleneck the group!). He is thoughtful, kind, great energy, carries forth the values we believe in – outdoor etiquette, done recovery training, been around the block with trips, etc. We’ve collaborated on dozens of nights of trips across various states. In case you haven’t met him, here’s a photo!
- I welcome any photos/video folks want to take of their experience at Rigs & Brunch, in the spirit of helping others find their place here. I’ll share a link post-event to upload. I’d like to better communicate the vision here, but if nothing changed and it was what it is today, that’s enough for me! (I also want to better communicate how media is used, sorta threw media from past events into an ad to get more folks without diminishing the quality of the group, something I will protect)
-
We’ll likely, at least, do the “down the table” shots like last time
-
- Many learnings from this new forum, a few thoughts:
- I want people to get text messages of new Rigs & Brunch events + trips that occur.
- Easier experience overall, already have a system to help with this simply need to adapt it to our needs.
- I’ll likely invite folks to the forum after they show up, assuming no one is there for purely business intent/sales/they seem like a great fit.
