Dinner with Pumping Station: One members
Shortly after we began to form ourselves into a group, we were contacted by Pumping Station: One, a group from Chicago. Turns out two of their members, Nathan and Anne, were coming to Memphis for a road trip. They wanted to meet up with us, even though we were such a young group. So we scheduled a time, went for a little coffee, and then grabbed some good ole Memphis style bar-b-que. The saying is, the worse the neighborhood, the better the bar-b-que.
Both Nathan and Anne were extremely friendly. They had a large amount of valuable advice to offer us, especially since they were so highly involved in PSOne. It is largely in part, due to them, that we have weekly meetings now. They encouraged us to meet as much as we could while we are trying to get started. Explaining that the more frequent we meet, the easier it will be for us to attract members and allow them to drop in a little easier to find out what we are exactly. Little did we originally think that we should, but once they explained reasons, it made a lot more sense. So thanks is due to PSOne, especially Nathan and Anne, for coming down here to visit us. Hopefully we will be able to take their advice and put it to good use. Who knows, maybe time one of them comes to visit we'll be a full fledged group and really have something to show.
