I didn't get much feedback on choosing a date to host a Ricochet meetup in Cookeville, TN, so I decided to do it on June 14th, which is National Bourbon Day.

We had the meetup last night at Crawdaddy’s West Side Grill, which was a fantastic choice if I say so myself. Lois Lane was unable to make it, but Concretevol and his new bride Shelley came, as well as Fractad. We talked about sports cars, Ricochet meetups past & future, Rob Long, Joe Biden, baseball, and bourbon. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that Fractad not only drives a sports car – a new, black Mazda Miata – but that it has a proper manual transmission!

Fractad asked me how many Ricochet meetups I have been to and I thought about 25. Now that I took the time to look more thoroughly, there have been 29 official meetups, a couple of Ricochet-related weddings, and a smattering of lunches and dinners when someone (me or the other member) was just passing through. That seems crazy.

    Only 29 official meet-ups?

    There's gotta be more than that, unless Yer criteria is stricter than what I think.

    I've been to multiples Myself.

    Randy,

    Thanks for organizing this meetup - it was really nice meeting you, the Missus, @concretevol, and Shelley. You're right, Crawdaddy's was great, and I encourage more Ricochetti to join us next time. I'm looking forward to it!

    Can I assume from the photo that you didn't eat outside?

    Wish I could have been there...
