Tippy Cow meetings
Is it possible that if we publicly posted the Tippy Cow meetings on here that maybe we could grow them and turn them into a regular event? I was not informed of the last one and I missed it. I would like to be at the next ones if that's possible. Plus I have some patching up to do (You know who you are).

Probably not. They are usually very last minute and almost never planned.

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
If you weren't informed of it and missed it there's prolly a reason.... You werent invited.
Not being from the GR area.... Where is said tipping of cow and is it's ice cream any good?

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
Is there cow tipping involved at the end of the meeting?

Yup. Usually a Facebook-based "hey, anybody up for Tippy Cow at such-and-such a time?"SD80MAC wrote:Probably not. They are usually very last minute and almost never planned.
Now that you're on Facebook, I'm sure you'll either see it or get tagged.
Kyle never gets invited by tagging, yet for some reason he always shows up. Party crasher!

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
I'm going to Tippy Cow with Mrs AARR around June 3rd. I think someone said the location in Rockford is worth the extra couple miles. Any suggestions guys?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
You are confusing Tippy Cow with Arnies. Only 1 TC location in Grandville, multiple Arnies Restaurants including one in Rockford.AARR wrote:I'm going to Tippy Cow with Mrs AARR around June 3rd. I think someone said the location in Rockford is worth the extra couple miles. Any suggestions guys?

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
Thanks. Yes, I was confusing them. We're going to do both Arnies and Tippy Cow. Probably on June 3rd. Thanks, RDD!Raildudes dad wrote:You are confusing Tippy Cow with Arnies.

Is the Arnies in Rockford different than Grand Rapids? GR was AWESOME but someone said Rockford is unique and different.

Re: Tippy Cow meetings
Arnies in Rockford was their first restaurant back in about 1975 and is in the old feed mill (with a newer addition). Menu should be the same, much different decor, lots of locval history stuff on the walls. The MIGN ran outside the door back then. Now it's the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail. Downtown Rockford has lots of little shops for Mrs AARR.
If you're into gourmet / special ground coffees, make a stop at Herman's Boy straight east from Arnies on on old Northland Dr.

The ice cream sucks. We just go there because it's next to a dead rail line.BerkshireKid wrote: Not being from the GR area.... Where is said tipping of cow and is it's ice cream any good?
How did you know he wasn't confusing Tippy Cow with the delicious ice cream at Rocky's in Rockford? Had he mentioned Arnie's before?Raildudes dad wrote:You are confusing Tippy Cow with Arnies.
