Who Doesn't Like a Jazz Bar? A Group Outing to Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant
THIS IS IMPORTANT: IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THE $10 COVER CHARGE, YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP BEFORE THE DOOR ATTENDANT IS ON DUTY. THAT MEANS 4 PM OR 4:30 PM DEPENDING ON WHOM YOU ASK AT ANDY'S. SO TAKE YOUR OWN GAMBLE ON WHAT TIME YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHOW UP BETWEEN 4 PM AND 4:30 PM TO AVOID THE COVER CHARGE! 
EITHER WAY, THE BAR OPENS AT 4 P.M.
Our next regular Meetup is on Saturday, October 17th, at 4:30 PM, to see the Geof Bradfield Quartet at Andy's Jazz Club & Restaurant.

Originally, I had set the Meetup time at 4:45 PM so that our group does not miss any of the first set. Then, I was told by one Andy's employee that if you show up before 4:30 PM, you can avoid the cover charge, so I set up reservations for 10 - 15 people under "Creative Social Club" at 4:30 PM. Later, I was told by a different employee that you have to "show up before the door attendant goes on duty" in order to avoid the cover charge, at approximately 4 PM. I will get more clarity from Andy's on this matter, and relay something more definitive to everyone in my reminder email later this week, but my current plan is to show up at 4 PM and spend my $10 on a beer (or 1.5 beers) at the bar. Note that food service does not start until 4:30 PM.
The band is scheduled to perform from 5 PM until 8:30 PM. We have scheduled this Meetup such that we can hang out early and everyone has the option to (a) linger with the group or (b) accommodate other plans late on Saturday night. You just can't beat it.
UNLESS YOU CAN AVOID IT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THERE IS A $10 COVER CHARGE AT ANDY'S FOR THIS SHOW. As usual, we will have separate checks for drinks and food. We have reserved our own table or tables so ask the maitre d' for "Creative Social Club".
Please RSVP "Yes" only if you are reasonably certain that you will attend, so that we can work cohesively with Andy's to reserve / arrange the right number and configuration of adjacent tables.

JesterEvent HostOrganizerLet's put it this way: The Meetup was so good that it lasted parts of two days, but there were moments when the Meetup felt like five days. As the wise Han Solo (he went to Maine East, I am told) once said, "It's not my fault!" Nevertheless, we have some awesome people, and we will just continue to tear it up! -
CamilleI enjoyed getting to know other members of the group and finally making the pilgrimage to Andy's.

Oops, we are aiming for a Saturday night, not a Sunday night, in mid-October. My bad.
