Fecal Contamination
A lot of great ideas, but I think first thing we should all consider is that some of us seldom have enough money to do things like the black light golf, so the excursions that involve expenses ought to be spaced relatively few and far between so as the poor mofos among us don't feel like we're watching golf through the bars of a country club. True, but the flipside of that is having not enough to do so that it's all awkward and weird. Like just meeting up at the waterfront for a walk might put too much pressure on people, but meeting up somewhere where there is MORE to do would help people from feeling too creeped out by a mob of strangers because there is something else to occupy them
lol Avalon = cheap movies and games
Roxy = Cheap food (plus Powell's Books and Buffalo Exchange are right there if it were a "shopping meetup" (shopping having the meaning for me usually of "just browsing"))
PSU = has cheap bowling, cheap gameroom downstairs, $3 movies on Fri/Sat/Sun, lots of rooms, tables, couches, chairs for just sitting around chillaxing (particularly on weekends when there's fewer people about), also food (little store and lots of fast food inside Smith Center)
Ground Kontrol = it's a bar, yes, but before 5 it's minor friendly. It's a big arcade downtown with lots and lots of retrogames and pinballs for a quarter.
Shanghai Tunnel = if we did a 21+ meetup, I love this bar because it's cheap cheap cheap and laid back
Saturday Market = lots to browse and you don't necessarily have to buy anything, but everyone could probably afford at least a coffee/soda/elephant ear
Zoo = On $2 Tuesday it's a literal ZOO but at least it's cheap
Where the zoo is has a ton of other neat outdoorsy options, but naturewalks and Hikes are probably too serial-killery for most people
Cosplay/Avatar walk = Stealing the idea from the Zombie walk which I do as often as possible, just walking downtown either on the waterfront or Pioneer Square or between them or the park blocks as kind of an impromptu parade could be fun, so long as there is a set activity first to break any ice and maybe a set place to get food afterward.
Dog walk = Here's a free one, everyone meet up at a park and walk their friendly dogs together... We have four dogs and they are for the most part antisocial so maybe not best idea for me. My cat is very good at going on walks though!
All Ages Club = ...well it's a thought anyway, I might feel too old to go haha.
Old Chicago = My large group of friends sometimes meets up at Old Chicago because they let you push tables together even for groups of 20+ and it's underage friendly but anyone old enough could order a drink, plus you can just buy a soda or nothing at all and they don't care. Food is just okay, I'm not a fan of there, I like Red Robin better but it's more expensive (I just get the appetizers tho... mmm $5 nachos)
Chuck E. Cheese = I would LOVE to go. If we get a coupon it wouldn't be too bad in terms of price. Also I think it's very nonthreatening
3nodding Oaks Park = when it warms up and opens (end of March) it's a good place to go, everyone could afford ONE ride at least and it's a great place to just sit around and have a picnic, also if it were on one of their bargain days they have Buy-One-Get-Ones for food and ride bracelets. There's also the rink.
Lloyd Center = ice skating isn't too expensive, and if it were far enough in advance peebles could probably save up for it, especially if it were a theme skate like everyone come in cosplay or something.
