| POF Outing Des Moines
Posted: 4/13/2008 8:32:25 PM | | Hey I keep seeing everyone wants to do an outing but no one can decide where. Well here is a thought for you all. How about the SCI (Science Center) Which is $8 for adults and $6 for kids or the Botanical Center which is $4 for adults and $2 for kids. And make this a family friendly event so those parents who have children can bring them along for some fun. Totally just a meet and great, with out the stress of geeh I have to find a date. That way everyone gets a chance to meet have fun. Maybe a Saturday during the day like Noon or so then when everyone is done if they want to go meet up afterwards they can. Any thought or anyone game. | |

I went to pof event when I was living in houston and they rented out the patio of one of the bars near the galleria and there was a live band there that night... it was a really cool event... it might also be cool maybe to go to a ia cubs game or something along those lines... Missouri is doing a camping trip and that would be alot of fun too if we could find a cool place to hold it at... there are alot of options especially with summer approaching... basically someone just needs to take and idea and follow through with it and set it all up... or a group of people... maybe a group of people who want to through an event should get together and plan something... I'm game if someone else wants to help with the planning and ect... let me know... | |

And if you do get the chance you are screaming to just get the conversation going. And then on top of it you see people drinking and that does not always create a good impression to start with. That also there is most likely people out there who do not smoke, or drink so really a coffee house or local event would be better. That is why I sugguested the SCI because it is a fun enviroment and you get to have fun. And that it isn't really that much to get in. And if people wanted to they could sneak off for a movie or a show. And the Star room is just a great place to relax and get to know someone. | |

That is why I suggest a more nutrual place so then it is just everyone having fun rather than worring about all those crazy things that come with trying to find a date. That and those married or in relationship people just may know a perfect person who is single for that other person.
I am totally up for a straight forward POF party. Doesn't matter what your status is just so that people can put a face and actual presence of those who they are chatting online to. I use to go to MSN parties all the time and I met some of my greatest friends that way and still today best friends with some of them. Just I am not a huge person to go to huge events with out at least knowing i am not going to have issues. At least with online we all know what we are getting into and no worries about asking if someone is single and having someone on the other side who is going to knoc you out for even asking.
So if anyone would like to put out some ideas that would be great. Maybe a BBQ in a park somewhere. I really don't want the bar because there is no way that you can get to know a person that way.
If you people would be up to a BBQ potluck type thing in a park let me know I can see what i can put together. | |

Posted: 5/22/2008 3:59:50 PM | Ok. Here is a thought June 17th at Pete Crivaro Park they have a wadding pool area that can be rented as well as shelters there is also a playground, disk golf course and it is easy to find if you are coming from out of town. As it is E14th Exit off of 235 than take E 14th South and you will see it about 2 miles down the road on your right hand side. Really can't miss it, that and it is across the street from La Pizza House.
So what does everyone think on this. If we want to do it and we have enough people then I will rent the shelter but if I don't know soon than well I wont be have to have it reserved. If there is a different date that people could agree on there is also some other parks that we can look into that may have avaiablility.
Thanks | |
