Unfortunately, my Wife is traveling for work Thursday evening, so I'll have my 2yo.  I'll likely be available in June though, so let me know if you guys discuss another meet up for next month.

Hey Indiana friends!

Was there any discussion of a next meet-up?  If not, any suggestions for where we'll go next?

I don't remember us falling on a final date or location, but I may be wrong. I'm in Iowa for the next two weeks, so I won't be able to make the meeting this month. Looking forward to seeing you all again in July though!

We had discussed Thursday, June 22 as the next date and having it down in Franklin by request of Dollar Diva and some of the other more southern folks.
Does that work for people?

That would be fine with me, although I wouldn't have any suggestions of a location.  I'll trust Diva to make that choice for us.  She has pretty good taste!

Sounds good - let's shoot for 6 in case other people need a little extra time.

Everybody - The Willard in Franklin at 6pm this Thursday (6/22). See you all there!

Good afternoon, all!

During our last meet up there was some discussion of the next date & location.  I'm posting here to share it with others who weren't able to attend at the Willard.

The next MeetUp will be on Tuesday, July 25th @ 6pm.  Location: St. Joseph's Brewery, downtown Indy.

I hope everyone can make it!

Second month in a row I'll be out of town. Maybe I'll catch y'all in August!

Just a reminder, our next MeetUp will be on Tuesday, July 25th @ 6pm.  Location: St. Joseph's Brewery, downtown Indy.

Some possible topics include:
Your personal badassery this month.
What does FIRE look like for you?
Are you on the right path to FIRE (visual aid will be provided)?

We welcome new folks!  If you are in the area, come join us!

I've actually got to back out of this one as well.  I really like the talking points Diva posted though!  I hope some others can make it.

I'm up for picking a date in mid-August.  How about the week of August 14th?

Hey LP, my wife and I are in Evansville and would be happy to meet up!

We're about to head out of town on vacation, but we'd be available the weekend of August 19th if that works for you.

We're on the west side, what part of town are you in?

Hey SirManatee that would be awesome! I'm working on turning my girlfriend mustachian and she is doing well!

August 19th should be totally fine with us! If you shoot me a message, I can email you and we can go from there. I'm on the East side about two miles from the mall!

Hey all, sorry Chilly P and I missed the August meetup, I spent most of August living up to my username and climbing various mountains. 
Did y'all set a date for September? Sept. 18-20 would be great for the two of us.

What's say we aim for Wednesday, the 20th at 6:30PM EST? We could try St. Joseph's Brewery downtown. Address is below:

St. Joseph's Brewery & Public House
540 N College Ave,
Indianapolis, IN 46204


Does this sound good for folks driving in? If not, what're some other suggestions?

I actually had a meeting pop up on the 20th out of state, so I can't make that.  This new job is keeping me overly busy.

Go ahead without me this time.

Does anyone want to try to get lunch on a weekend day?  That might be better for me than evenings these days.

Are we still on for tonight at St. Josephs at 630pm EST? I can make it, and would be happy to discuss my past year as FIRE. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Is the reservation under anyone's name in particular?

Thx!
Ryan

It's been a while since we all had a chance to meet up, any one interested in a meet up in December?  We can talk about how we're not spending crazy for the holidays... :)

I'm in! Would love to discuss how to maximize happiness while avoiding the consumer madness of the holiday season.


Meetup ideas...
any brewery
BYO lunch and hike a state park or city trail
conference rooms at Butler campus with lots of whiteboards (free visitor parking)

Hi, Guys!

I've been a busy lately, so I've not been keeping up with the forums at all.

Let's meet up ASAP!  It's been too long.

How about Dec 18th at 5:30 pm at Oaken Barrel?

Any chance we can do Thursday the 21st instead?  My daughter started girl scouts and they have their meetings on Monday nights...  I think others stated in the past Thursdays worked well.

Hi Indiana mustachians! I've lurked in the forum long enough, and was super excited to see others in IN! We live in the South Bend area, but do travel to Indianapolis and Chicago from time to time. We are looking for new friends as we are finally putting down roots after several years of adventuring. Love to hear of any new meet ups!

I am also in Indiana!  I would love to meet up.... I need to build a network of people who "get it" more, haha.  Sounds like you all had some amazing events before!  I'm in northern Indiana, but happy to travel!  Perhaps late June?

I'm ready for another one. Let's look at October. Thursdays seemed to work well in the past. Let's start with these Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25. Which ones are doable for you?

I'm just a Hoosier Wannabe, but I'll be in Indy to take my son for a campus visit to IUPUI on October 11.  If the stars align, I'd love to join up.

Thursdays do not work for me until after the first week of November. I might be able to make it to the end of the meetup if it goes past 9:30pm. If it doesn't work out, I'll catch the next one.
