YAY! I didn't know this forum existed. I can't go to Knotts this weekend, sorry. But I'm so glad you posted. Have fun!

*Anya* · 08-25-2011, 06:45 AM

We simply must get it together and plan something in advance!!

I would love to meet up with you Lilith but this weekend is a busy one for me.

Saturday is a day with my LA granddaughter who just turned 7 on Wednesday & I will be taking out to lunch ("Can we go to Wood Ranch grandmom?") and shopping at the Grove.

Sunday is also booked.

Can we try for September since July & August did not work? I am free, so far, for any Saturday in September. I can drive to OC/LA or folks can drive to Long Beach...it is in the middle of both counties (kind of).

Sorry, haven't looked for a while, did not note the findraiser, hope was a success!

Let's try again and I will keep bumping this thread

PS: I hope you have great fun Lilith!

Tommi · 08-25-2011, 06:55 AM

We need a Daytimer , a Planner.
TCB, when and where are you performing again. We really must get a gang together to go see you. Maybe if we get it far enough in advance we can do this.

I think W/we (me and the So Cal peeps that come here are toooo busy to have fun together). Ya know, I see all these other places around the country getting together. We used to do it, had fun bon fires all the time between here and in in San Diego. My Buddy and some of the gang would name a time and a place and 20 to 30 people would meet at the beach..Ahhhh..We used to meet and play poker..(no really, the card game) we did gay bowling...where are Lee and PJ now?

Anyway, does anyone have that planning ability. Not me , but I do appear.

*Anya* · 08-25-2011, 07:04 AM

Hi Tommi, I will help coordinate, we just need dates. Pick a Ssturday folks! Any Saturday!

I will list the days in September shortly. Please all pick a Saturday that you can plan for in advance.

Laguna Beach a great place. Not a lot of beach though. Huntington Beach has great beaches.

OR

We can simply meet for lunch as the No. Ca folks did recently. Laguna a great place for that too and very queer-friendly.

Come on people! Are we going to let Baltimore or Sydney put us to shame?!

ManOMan · 08-26-2011, 01:18 AM

All of September is now booked for me

I could do 10/1. The following weekend is out and then I'm open again.

I'd love to meet some new peeps.

Now we are getting somewhere! 10/1, let's just pick it and plan on it. Whew!

We have the when, how about where? Locale that works for everyone is difficult but most convenient it will need to be.

I gave some choices above. For queer-friendly, either Laguna Beach or Long Beach. Some great restaurants in Belmont Shore area of Long Beach on second street.

Please list your preference and we will go with majority rule.

Way to go Anya/Georgia.

Are you in Georgia? Long commute

Looks like Saturday, Oct 1st for 5 SoCal peeps so far. (Library_girl didn't say anything against 10/1)
..Now, we have a month or so to decide locale and venue..

I'm in OC and will see if anything is going on in my area. We always can do Laguna Beach, ....or maybe a BBQ here.
Like Oopster, beginning of new fiscal year, Oct 1. is a reason to celebrate, so Oct 1 is ideal for me.

I was about to post the link to METRO Q, a great gay restaurant in Huntington Beach, that had 21 TVs, pool tables, and great food at reasonalbe cost.. IT"S GONE. I called the phone number and it's Out of Order...F-U..N-K. That was my home away from home during football season. BIG FUCK.

*Anya* · 08-26-2011, 06:14 AM

Laguna always good for me if not too far for LA or Riverside folks.

Tmbyfem is potentially going to host a bonfire in San Diego on Saturday 8th October. Just need to wait another week or so for confirmation (we've discussed over recent weeks and it's something that she would very much like to do).

citybutch · 09-02-2011, 09:32 AM

Oooo... Make sure you tell her to call or email me! I will try to keep up with the thread but would love to be there!

I would like to drive from Long Beach area to south OC, and hitch a ride down to San Diego, if bonfire is confirmed for 10/8. Happy to help with gas.

Library_girl · 09-02-2011, 11:13 PM

Bonfire sounds great for 10/8! I'll try to make it!

Should be able to confirm that it is going ahead inside the next week (after Tmbyfem has returned from Burning Man).

I'm not particularly good on my SoCal geography but I would like to think that this will be possible. Certainly, Tmbyfem's previous bonfires have usually seen a good crowd travelling down from LA metro area.

We can have a crowd before she even announces it..****

You bet, I came south about an hour and a half from Laguna Beach area, and I know some came from Long Beach (about 30 mins from me) and Los Angeles about 45 min's north, and the Riverside/inland Empire area east of us.

If this happens, and anyone wants to carpool South from the Orange County area, we can meet near the Irvine train station. Parking there is free, and it is close to both the 405 and 5 Freeways.
