Ok, new thread. Can the GRM crew throw out some dates that work for them?

Would everyone be ok with where we met last year in Sanford?

I liked the spot in Sanford.
I have obligations on the weekend of Dec 13th, so I won't be able to make that date.  Rest of the time I should be open.

Also, I'm gonna be at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona on Nov 29th, if anyone wants to wander that way as well.  Shoppin for Rosie.

I’m down for Sanford, too. I was there the other day, and that giant chicken sandwich is still on the menu.

I'm interested as well. I'm busy the weekend of 12/13 too, as I'll be doing the endurance kart race in Jacksonville!

Obviously depends on the date, but Sanford should work for me

Ditto on being busy the weekend of 12/13 (along with several other GRM staff members) - that's PRI Show weekend.

Sweet and Salty island grindz in Sanford Florida has me hooked. Drove from miami to orlando for them. The Hot butter chicken katsu sandwich is AMAZING! #greenscreen #orlandoflorida #orlandofoodie #orlandorestaurants #orlandofoodspots #sanfordflorida #sanfordflorida #foodreview #foodreaction #floridafoodie #floridafood #fyp #mukbang #chickensandwich

Sanford is just over the river for me, about 30 minutes. Unfortunately for me, I’m probably racing on the sixth (last points event), definitely working on the twentieth. 

Either of those dates are probably best for the most people. The conflict with the PRI show really rules out the weekend of the 13th.

What does 12/7 or 12/21 look like for everyone? 12/7 is Cars & Coffee while 12/21 is live music. If the music is on the patio we may be fighting to have a conversation.

Oof, what a choice.
Cars & Coffee, we may not have parking room.  Live music and I, for one, damn sure won't hear anything anyone says.

I say 7th, at least we'll see other cars.

Cars and coffee usually clears out before noon.  There is a bunch of parking in the area if you don't mind walking a few blocks.

The cars & coffee date might be fun. Get there early enough to check out the cars, stick around for GRM fellowship!

I second this, and I'd probably drive down since my wife likes to visit Orlando and Sanford.

Our Martin Sports car club awards banquet is on the seventh. If I hadn’t already committed…

I think I could do lunch on the 7th.
