So, what time do you all want to begin? Depending on where we go, some places open & close early, some open & close late.

Tenth suggested Pinup Bowl & the Farmer's Market. I did some research, and came up with the following:

------------------> Con: $30-$40/hr for reserved lanes. Only 12 lanes.
------------------> Con: Under 21 not allowed after 9:00 PM.

2. Farmer's Market
            20 East 5^th Street
------------------> Con: Open only until 4:00 PM

3. Worlds of Fun (<- My suggestion)
            4545 Worlds of Fun Ave.
------------------> Con: $19.95 to $ 33.95 per guest

4. Kansas City Zoo
            6800 Zoo Dr.
------------------> Pricing: $10.50/adult, open until 5:00 PM on Saturdays.


For food:
---Arthur Bryant's BBQ
            1727 Brooklyn Ave @ East 18^th St.
------------------> Pricing: Average $10.00/plate

Thoughts?

I talked to Ayen I don't think she'll be coming so you can remove her if you want.

Worlds of Fun may cost too much if we do the other things

Arthur Bryant's BBQ taste Yummy!

Also I don't want to do that much walking around if it's a hot day I don't do well in the heat really or if there's a huge crowd of people.

Ayen - I'll remove her.
Worlds of Fun - I was thinking about doing only one of the things, not all of them. ^^ So either bowling, worlds of fun, zoo, or Farmer's market.
BBQ - been there? :3

Hopefully, it won't be that hot. But, with MO weather. xD Worlds of Fun shouldn't be too bad, I'm sure the rides, some of them, are AC'd. The Zoo would be a nightmare if it was hot, as would farmer's market. Bowling would be nice, but it's more expensive than worlds of fun.

Never been at that exact place, BBQ just sounds good right now

Bowling would probably be better so we could all score straight zeros

Might of already been asked but are these places in walking or driving distance?

Off topic: Who's putting the meet on youtube

Kenneth - I don't think we can do bowling. Look at the prices - it's 30 to 40 dollars per hour. So, unless you're planning on bowling only one game for the whole trip, it's going to be about a hundred dollars for the night, not including food. I'd also need to make reservations, because there are only twelve lanes, and I'm sure that they'll be busy on a Saturday night.

Walking or driving distance from what, Kenneth? Your house? xD And anything is within driving distance unless separated by an ocean. :3

I don't see, as well, why'd they'd need to be driving distance from each other - these are just options, not our meet itinerary. I can only afford to do one activity and one restaurant.

EDIT: Not me. No camera.

Right I get it

But wht would we do at Farmer's Market?

According to their webpage, the Farmer's Market has some concerts and the like. I'm not all too keen on using that as our outing, because it's bands I for one have never heard of, and also because it's mainly a farmer's market. ^^

I would rather bowl or mini golf myself, but I am not against Worlds of Fun. It would just be too easy to wander off from the group and not have it as a meet.

Ah, mini-golf. I'll look some locations up.
Bowling.. I'm just worried about the overall costs - I don't want to pay 40 bucks for an hour and not even finish my frameset.


Worlds of Fun.. we'll just have to stick together then!

Yes we'll all have to hold hands.

But really if we do go bring your cell phones or bring someone that does have one so we can exchange numbers if we do get lost.

I will have my cell with me. I'll give out my number when we all meet up.

Does anyone have any objections to Worlds of Fun? Overall, I think it's the easiest option - most to do, cheapest in the long run, most time can be spent there...

This is depressing...I'm in ant saving harvest mode so there's no way I can go.

Maybe next time.

[tenthofmay1957]

Worlds of Fun is fine with me.

And I only suggested the Farmer's Market for food because the website I looked at listed some of the restaurants there, and there was a wide variety. Who wants to walk around a Farmer's Market and look at produce all day?

All right.

Personally, I love Farmer's Markets, but I can go to one down here in Springfield. xD

Hey Tenth, figured out for sure when your man's ... whatever he had to do in october is?
