Thanks and have a great night.

We'd be interested but it will depend on when as I'll be in NorCal for the first half or so of July.

I was thinking maybe like the 16th or the 23rd. I am thinking a state beach in the OC because it is around the halfway point between, but if anyone has suggestions, please make them.

Excited!

It looks like you've got the lead on this

how do you want to do it? or what do you need help with?

do we want food? if so a fiend for your self or a pot luck?

what about fire wood for the bonfire, depending on how long we want it to burn it can take a generous about of wood.

another thought i have is if any one has kids, should there be any special considerations if they want to bring them?

music? games? ice breakers?

ahhh am i over thinking?

long night need to find my pillow

....zzzzz

lol...no your not! these are all great questions/ideas.

OK...Food, yes! I think it might be a good idea to do potluck with volunteers who can't or don't want to cook to bring plates, cups, drinks, etc.

As for firewood, I am going to look into local businesses and see if I can't find broken pallets. I would appreciate if anyone else can help out with this.

I have a 12 years old who will be coming, and he is cool beans. If others want to bring kids, that would be great.

Does anyone have suggestions about games and entertainment?

What about four-legged kids?

DoReMiFemme · 06-22-2011, 12:09 PM

If we're thinking the SD area then I will be coming from about 3 hours away. I totally don't mind the drive, but I won't be able to bring edibles. I can bring firewood and utensils, plates etc.

I may bring my little sister (also 12!) too.

Hi all!

Okay so we need volunteers for this's and that's.

Let's start with necessities for a bon fire, who can get their hands on firewood to start with?

Then we need thoughts for food's and drinks... this will be a bit of a drive for several of us so do we want sans alcohol or pro?

We also need to settle on location and day...
My thoughts are Corona Del Mar close to Newport Beach. I know they have fire pits available, I haven't been in years so if there are other suggestions or thoughts let me know. I know some wanted to bring dogs I don't know the rules for this beach as far as animals go the only beach i know that dose allow dogs off leash would be at Huntington but that area of the beach isn't suitable for this type of activity as far as i could tell.

I will re-scour the thread and try to get it all organized. So if you all would post you preferences one last time
other thoughts for locations
places you are driving from so we can try to centralize
days that work best for you
anything you think of that i have missed?

We will get it rolling!
Darlene

Happy Fourth to You ALL!

If folks are thinking the 16th, that is Pride here in SD..Could meet up to watch the parade.. Would be loud, but free, then after parade event?

I'm going to be working the festival from 12 to 8 on the 16th, so won't be able to do the after, but can meet up to watch the parade.. Just an idea

Look forward to seeing what happens.. I'm slammed with work, so am not really free the 23rd either.. But will follow along here.

The Oopster · 07-04-2011, 09:52 PM

I'm probably working but also note that the 16th is carmegedon ... 405 is shutdown that weekend up here but could possibly cause traffic problems every every every where.

I'll be camping up in the angeles mountains to avoid it if anyone wants to join me. Pit toilets and no showers but away from the traffic. I will be working but my commute time will be drastically reduced!

undone · 07-04-2011, 11:22 PM

I can't do any thing myself the weekend of the 16th, but i think it's a fantastic idea that all of you in San Diego get together there or any one that can make it there for pride!

I still think it's a good idea to do something a little further north so more folks would be able to make it a day trip with out over night stays or extra long drives.

Maybe the weekend of the 23rd or the 30th? what do you all think?

TenderKnight · 07-05-2011, 02:41 AM

You know, a few years ago when I was still in North Carolina we would have weekend get togethers.. Mainly because we were all so spread out. Kinda like a mini mini bash.. Someone would let others bunk over on thier couch and there would be a BBQ and maybe going out to a local club, then breakfast in the morning before everyone left to go home.

The reason I bring this up is because I am doing the public transport thing and know that anything North County is going to involve a few hours of travel time for me, and I would more then likely have to spend the night somewhere because of trolly/coaster/bus scedules. Not sure if anyone else is having that kind of issue, but that is something that might keep me from making it up north..

I will request the time off if we can hammer out a date and time. I look forward to a get together, it's been a few years since I've seen a lot of the So-Cal folks and I miss y'all.. Would like to meet some of you for the first time as well.

Thanks again for taking this project on, undone, I will add my two bits as I can and help too, if able.

-Tony

Any get-togethers in the LA or OC area in the near future?
