We want a weekend that feels easy: one city, one base, and no heroic planning. The two things that usually decide whether it happens are timing and the “basecamp” spot where we naturally keep meeting up. If we agree on those two, the rest becomes flexible: museums for some, long lunches for others, a night out for whoever still has energy.

This proposal keeps it simple: choose the weekend windows that can work, then choose a basecamp area that feels right for the group’s vibe and budget. The basecamp matters because it shapes walking time, safety at night, and how expensive everything feels.

The basecamp area (a real meet-up anchor in the chosen city)

Vote on the windows and the basecamp anchors. Comments are welcome for constraints like early return, food preferences, or “quiet nights only.”

Friends weekend: dates and a real basecamp in one city

We all say “let’s do something regularly”, and then life happens. The easiest way to make a tradition stick is to pick one format that feels natural and low effort, and commit to it for a few months. Not a perfect plan, just a rhythm that gives us an excuse to see each other.

This proposal isn’t about locking people into a schedule or turning fun into admin. It’s about choosing the one monthly ritual that has the best chance of surviving busy weeks, travel, and different budgets. Once we choose the format, we can keep the rest flexible.

We’re picking the tradition format. Each option is meant to be realistic with minimal coordination, and easy to skip without guilt if someone can’t make a specific month.

Same general window each month, even if the exact date moves a bit

A predictable “host” or “organizer” rotation so it doesn’t fall on one person

Budget-friendly defaults, with room for occasional upgrades

Use comments to suggest variations that feel like us, not like a generic meetup.
