MIAUTiger and I discussed the possibility of having a beverage sometime later this this summer and thought we could extend the invite and make it a thing if people were interested. Obviously if any of you outside the area will be in town later this summer and are interested, let us know that too . . . that may help us zero in on a date. My inclination is to shoot for a Friday afternoon/evening happy hour but I'm somewhat flexible and he may be as well.

He's put the last week in June and the first week in August out there as potential early dates but I'm thinking later in August might end up being the target. Who's up for this? Give me some input on timing if you are.

Hope a few of y'all can make it. As CO, said, late August may be the best time. Anyone and everyone welcomed. If it'll help, I'll buy the first round, as long as the words 'Bud' and 'Light' are in the type of beer

I always try to make it up there a few weeks before the season starts to shop the local stores for new Vols gear.  So whatever day you guys decide, let me know and I'll try to get up there.

I'm interested. I live in Morristown, so any date should work for me.

I may be on my way to Chattanooga or back around that time.  Tentatively planning to be in Chattanooga the week of August 28- September to or so.  So keep me posted

I live i Knoxville, retired, and it involves drinking a few, count me in. I really do not have anything planned until Sept (Yellowstone NP trip). And just back from Maine (the fresh lobster was GOOD). So give me a time and place and I will plan around it.

But I will not be drinking a Lite or Light beer. I like my beer like my women; dark and bitter.

Clockwork let me explain. My wife's view toward life was almost as dark and jaded as mine still is. When I would make that statement, she would look exasperated, look down, and loudly proclaim she was never bitter until she met me. I would reply Well I had hair when we meet.    We lived together 41 years of which we were married 37 years. She died in September last year. My wife had the best sense of humor and about the driest wit of anyone I ever met. But sometimes, the looks on the waitstaff when I order beer is priceless.

Good story....Sounds like you were blessed for many years to be with her. Hope things get just a tad better for you each day.

So, given all the replies, how would the evening of Thursday, September 1st work for everyone? Happy Hour somewhere, starting around 4 and lasting until we have convinced Jethro to pay for the entire tab? How does that sound to everyone?

Oh crap. I forgot they moved that to a Thursday night. Ok...how about that Wednesday, August 31st at the same time? Or would that Friday, September 2nd at 4pm work? By Friday, I will be willing to drink a few so I can already forget about Klempson beating the crap out of us the next day.

Pick a day. I can make any day (almost) work. Friday would be ideal since I just planned something for Saturday. The absolute beauty and joy of retirement.

Friday, September 2nd at 4pm. Suggestions on location? There are any number of Casual Pints around the area that has great beer selection. Or any area bars.

I frequent the Hardin Valley Casual Pint. It has an events room. Beer selection is varied. No food, but we could talk about catering if people need food.

OK: Friday, September 2nd at 4pm at the Hardin Valley Casual Pint [/url](http://hardin-valley.thecasualpint.com/) . If this works out, I can call ahead to see if we can get the bigger room and possibly arrange for some food to be brought in. We can stay until they kick us out or the first one passes out, whichever comes first.

That sounds good to me.  I will have to find a cheap hotel in the area as I won't be making the trip all the way back to Mebane that night.  There's a Candlewood Suites near the interstate that doesn't look too funky.  I'm open to any other suggestions.

maiutiger, this is fine with me. I am usually at that Casual Pint between 5:00 to 5:30 every Friday. Once a head count is done, I think Sweet P's would be ideal and I can help pay some. I may be retired, but I'm not poor (yet).

I will probably be there. There are some things hitting labor day weekend that may take me out of town that Friday but if not I'll definitely attend.

So...bringing this back to the top. We seem to have anywhere from 6 - 8 that could make it that Friday, September 2nd from 4pm - ?? at the Casual Pint Hardin Valley here in Knoxville.. I checked with Casual Pint and it is $35/hour to reserve the big room. Plus, any other costs if we bring in any food to have for dinner. Everyone still interested? If so, I'd be more than happy to call Casual Pint and book that room ahead of time.

Everyone still interested?

I am still interested. I could pay for 1 hour if needed.
