Alternate Meet at the Machine Shed Restaurant in Lake Elmo

Due to popular demand we are excited to announce the Bi-Weekly meet on July 19th will be moved to try out a new venue, the Machine Shed Restaurant in Lake Elmo, MN.

The space we will be getting is double the size of what we have at Perkins and more private. We will have the room to ourselves with no need for overflow seating. There is not going to be the classic “the space is full” problem here!

Date: Saturday July 19th
Time: 5:00pm – 10:00pm
Location: Machine Shed Restaurant 8515 Hudson Blvd N, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 (The venue is right off of 94 and is easy to get to from the Interstate, very close to the 694/94 E Junction) Map Here
Food: American (A notch above Perkins)
Cost: $10-15 average Entree
Fursuit Friendly?: No, please leave full and Partial suits at home.
Notes:

This is an alternate meet and a trial run. Future meets will still occur as scheduled at Perkins. If the location is liked by our community members we may hold another meet or event here in the future.

Buying a meal here and not bringing any outside food or beverages really helps us out! There is also a $300 group minimum food order for us to get the venue without having to pay a rental fee. So if we meet this goal we’ll be able to use this venue and look into other venues like this as a place for future events.

    Here are my thoughts on the Machine Shed…

    Location-wise the drive was very easy and it’s right off 494 once you get in 94 heading east.  There was plenty of parking spaces and it was not overflowing with vehicles either…Not to mention it appeared that it was hooked on to a hotel?

    The reserved room we had was huge and definitely a room to reserve for future usage.  It has a nice variety of tables/chairs and big booths and the waitresses we had were very nice and accommodating.

    There was a nice variety of food from burgers, to sandwiches, to fish, etc…

    I did not stay there for very long, but attendance was nice and I heard that later more showed up.

    Overall, I would like to see this place get used again in the future.  This brings up another topic that can be discussed more in a separate thread soon perhaps…

    I brought up this idea to a couple of the board members last week…

    I think it would be very nice and accommodating for us if we found venues in the north/east/south/west parts of the metro.  This can be either within the 494/694 loop or just slightly outside of it.  With this we can alternate between a venue…Perkins in Minnetonka will still be sanctioned, but why not alternate if we find venues that are successful all around?  I believe that this will help the other community members who normally cannot make Perkins feel more noticed or accommodated.  This way those who cannot make it can say ‘hey, I can go to this meet’ and be very excited.

    As Drake said, I would so adore some meetups or events north of the cities!  I haven’t been able to make it to anything due to not having long distance transport.  I take the bus and I could get most places, but living in Anoka, getting back home is the real issue.

    I wish I had a suggestion or location to offer with my complaint, but I dont know of anything iin my immediate area aside from the -so I’ve been warned- very sketchy roller rink.
