HONDEAUX Southern Kitchen & Bar will be boiling 300 lbs of live crawfish tomorrow starting at 5 PM. $5 per pound and $1/$2 drink specials

Once again, another horrible example of the Temple A&M not promoting their events.

Hmmmmmm

Must've been a low turnout

You mean a good example?

Haha. Yes I do!!

I had no idea,,,,we walked past it, thought about going in, but didn't.

Ugh!

22 hour notice

what fun

Does the club have a Facebook or twitter page?

Seems that's how everybody communicates these days

That club is a compete joke. Might as well go to the Austin club.

Would have gone had I known.

I don't complain about them because I'm not a member, and obviously don't do any of the work.

Sounds like a great event, though.

I'm old as hell and, other than muster, I think I've been to ONE A&M club event in my life

What do these clubs even do?

Alright, I checked out the Temple A&M Club website and it's not bad really. The Hondeaux's deal was posted several days in advance

But yeah, unless you check out the website, you're not gonna know about it...

I suppose Facebook, twitter, and good old mass email.. Yeah, I know, email is sooooooo 2000's.... But it is still a good wa to get the word out

Or, maybe people knew about it and just didn't want to go

In any event, the Temple Club looks to have an operation and has some events

I bet TexAgs would let them post announcements on here if ya asked them...

OK, I know I'm talking to myself here, but upon further reflection and research --- Why is the low turnout the Greater Temple Area A&M Club's fault?

Didn't appear to be an official Greater Temple Area A&M Club event

Hondeaux invited them, and GTA AMC posted it on April 23rd - several days beforehand

What am I missing? Why the anger at GTA AMC?

Because this is just one example of them never advertising anything until the last minute. Go back and look at their website. Look how many functions they have had. Hardly any in the last few years.

But what responsibility did GTA AMC have to advertise this at all?

From what I can tell this was a Hondeaux event. Not an AMC event.

Hondeaux's simply contacted the AMC to let them know about the event, and the AMC posted it on their web site 8 days in advance as a courtesy.

So, basically Hondeaux wanted to sell crawfish at $5 a pound and contacted the AMC in an attempt to drum up business, which is fine...

The AMC didn't sponsor the event, and didn't plan the event, Yet the AMC had some duty to promote the event, and are somehow responsible for the event's poor turnout?

Caveat - if this was an official AMC event, then disregard the above.

But if this was simply a for profit Hondeaux event, open to the public, then I see absolutely no responsibility or duty on the part of the AMC to actively promote the event, nor does AMC have any culpability in the event's failure

Now, I'm not defending the AMC in general. If they aren't doing any events, then they need to step up the efforts.

I don't see how this has anything to do with that though....

Just checked the web site -- there is a board meeting on May 8 at Tres Magueyes on French in Temple.

Perfect opportunity

I bet they would welcome any Aggies who have suggestions, or who are willing to be a part of the organization and put in the time and effort necessary to make the club the best it can be..

Should be a huge turn out. Nothing else going on that night...oh except the NFL draft.

The website says 6:45 and "join us for breakfast", which I assume means it is 6:45am, which would not interfere with draft watch


But I just posted it so people know where they can air their grievances, or offer suggestions for improvement.

Go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to..

And that's TWO things in one day I've never done - participate in a local AMC, and watch the NFL draft... And that probably ain't changing this week...

No offense Captain,

I'll be two hours deep in my work day by the time they are serving biscuits.

Reading this right now, makes it approximately 37 and a half hours until breakfast.

... and approximately 49 and a half hours until the 2014 NFL Draft, and eating a smoked ribeye.

No offense taken

I ain't goin' either
