I agree - sometimes there just aren't enough weekends in a year. One thing we've done is host our own house parties. That helps a lot when it comes to getting together with several couples you'd like to get to know better. You probably won't play with them all, but you'll get lots of time to get to know them, then proceed from there.

Another thing we do is our annual campout. It's a 3-day affair that attracts a huge crowd. Great for meeting lots of people and taking things into a camper later if you feel like it...

I don't know why this posted twice. Sorry for cluttering up your blog.

I hear you, but for us the frustrating thing is that everyone ELSE is free on weekends....but Speed and I both work!

LOL, so Who's free on a Tuesday night?!

We are!

Actually, Mondays and Thursdays are better... but you get the idea.

Mondays are good for us too

Now, WHY do you have to live so far away?!?!?!?

We would not mind a weeknight meet either, just would have to be an early end to deal with work the next day.

Mr. NC does work weekends, but with kids, we have the normal weeknight issues of homework, etc., so we are definitely "weekend warriors". He just has to goto work tired and hungover occasionally.....

I hear you. We've actually started telling couples who look "nice" that contact us online (maybe one a week) that we just aren't meeting anyone new right now- can't remember the last time WE initiated contact. That and we've decided to cut back on the couples we're currently playing with to the ones that we have really strong chemistry with. Because when we really like a couple, we don't want to have to wait months between playtimes. God bless the house party- a chance to meet new people without "using up" a whole evening on one couple!! (although have gotta say.. our success rate with the "meet for drinks" approach has been phenomenal. We are VERY lucky)
