NEWBIE

I am one of those “new faces” in BASE that everybody is talking about. I am not exactly new, but close enough. I attended the BASE Launch Party way back when this summer, but never came back to another meeting until last week. Not sure why I never came back…maybe I had another meeting, it was too cold, could not find parking downtown, was just skeptical, or whatever…

Anyways, now I wish I had made more of an effort. The group of people that attended the meeting were great and I immediately felt part of the group as we each partook of our favorite domestic and imported brews. I go to a lot of meetings everyday, and this is my only meeting where drinking is not frowned upon. We talked about everything from Coffee to Building Houses to the Hawks running the Big Ten Tourney.

There was no stuffy agenda, just good people having good conversation!!!
There are many ways to get involved in the Iowa City area…if you are looking to get involved, you should definitely consider attending the next BASE meeting. I think most of the meetings usually take place at the downstairs bar of Atlas World Grill…come check it out. If you do not like it, you can always say you were just trying to find the Bathroom…
