Mini-Meet #2 – Iguana Mack’s

After such a success with the first meetup, Adrian and I grew some balls (figuratively) and decided to hold a second.  This time focusing it geographically on the east side of the valley since many of the TBs seem to live out there.  Since Adrian lives in the East and I live in the West, he was in charge of location so Iguana Mack’s it was.

Iguana Mack’s is a great bar in the Chandler area that is kind of a local favorite.  Great bar, great friends, great live music and even some dancing if you choose.  Since I don’t often frequent the bars on that side of town, this one was a treat. 

After I took care of the kiddos and got them to there respective sleepovers, I headed out east to join my fellow TBs.

Kim, Donny, Robyn, Krysta, & Nate

When I arrived, only Donny and Kim were there at the main bar.  None of the other TBs showed up.  WHAT KIND OF WELCOMING WAS THIS FOR DONNY AND KIM!!  I quickly sent text messages to the others that had said they would be joining us to find out if they would still be coming or if Donny was lucky enough to spend his Sat night with a lady on each arm.  Kim (our soon to be newest TB) also sent a text or 2 and we were joined shortly thereafter by 2 other non-TBs, Mike & Ken, as well as Krysta & Nate.  Where were all the TBs from our first meetup?  Especially since this was THEIR side of town.  Oh well, their loss.

The hidden talents came out as the night progressed

The beers and liquor were flowing, the band jamming, and great conversations as we all got better acquainted.  Since all of the ‘Ford’ crew (Donny, Kim, Mike, & Ken) all knew each other, and Krysta brought her hubby Nate, I was definitely the outsider at this one (Thanks for leaving me hanging Adrian).  Between our TBs in attendance (3), our non-Tbs (3), and our soon to be future TB (1), we all had a great time sharing beers, stories, and showin’ some luv. 

As it got late, several members of our group had to work in the morning so little by little we started to part ways.  Kim and her Ex (Kim- What were you thinking?), Krysta & Nate, and Ken & a random booty call.  After a few more drinks, the bar was closing so  Donny and I also went our separate ways.

**In all fairness to Adrian, my beloved AZ TB, he did try to text me, as did many others that didn’t make it out, however my phone delayed relaying the messages for several hours while we were inside the bar.  As for those who called, it was too loud to hear it go off so I do apologize.  Next time- just show up.  After all, did you REALLY believe that a true TB meet at a BAR would be over by 10pm?
