Cheering how you all were investing in the stock market at the bottom or some VERY good YM gossip?
Enquiring minds gotta know!

There was alcohol involved. Can't wait to see the Californians attempt it.  |

How hard is "CA"? 
OK there would probably be fisticuffs between the No. Cals and the So. Cals. Maybe Works4me would have to mediate.

I thought you were dancing to YMCA. If we had stuck around a little while longer, we might have been.  There was an oldies cover band starting up when we were kicked out/leaving. |

I'm realizing I totally blew it. I should have fashioned myself a grain sack shirt for our meeting. I could have modernized it and made a belted shirt and head piece. Regrets.

We'll have to wait for ChocolateLover to go to the FL Dressing Downton exhibition to get me all the LM clothes. |

Once all this rain passes - yes, yes, I know we need it but I am tired of hearing the neighbors portable basketball hoop blow over at 3 am - I'm in for a CA meet up.

I think there are two ways to go about it: the northern folks do one meet-up, and the SoCal folks do their own. Not as much fun, definitely, but because it's a huge State more folks may be willing to meet on a more local level (?). The other is to try and coordinate a state-wide meet-up.
If we do a State-wide meet-up, there would need to be some significant planning because it will cost time and money for everyone to get there - and that might leave a few folks out for financial/family/timing reasons  . I'd vote for Pismo or SLO on the coast, or Coalinga/Harris Ranch in the central valley. But those are clearly compromises of distance for everyone, if that makes sense. |

I'd have loved that. I was so wiped out by the time I left though. long day after not having my typical Friday off (I know, FWP) |

I was so wiped out by the time I left though. long day after not having my typical Friday off (I know, FWP) After you all left, DH and a friend came by. GRG got to meet them. We stayed, met some other friends and danced the night away to the oldies cover band. Such a fun afternoon/night from beginning to end. And once again, I thank everyone who ventured to my neck of the woods. I'm looking forward to our next meet up, wherever it may be. |

Hey, if we managed to coordinate a meetup with folks from five, yes, 5, states surely you Californians can coordinate one for your entire state. (In the end, car repairs, holes in ceilings, and the Patriots game schedule whittled actual attendance to folks from just two states, but the multi-state coordination was in place.) |

(In the end, car repairs, holes in ceilings, and the Patriots game schedule whittled actual attendance to folks from just two states, but the multi-state coordination was in place.) Well lol (and said as respectfully as possible): check your map and see how many times over those five states fit into a land mass the size of California (not including getting slowed down by the CA mountain ranges you need to traverse). On the East Coast you can pass - by car - through maybe 6 or 7 states in a long day. You would have to push very hard to make it the entire length of CA (the Tijuana border to the Oregon border) by car in that same day (using the coast route you wouldn't make it at all; neither would highway 395. Highway 5 through the central valley would take you probably 13-14 hours with no stops). There is no such thing here as crossing half the State and making it back by dinner - seriously. Folks would need to plan for the time and expense of an overnight stay somewhere. That's why one of my suggestions is two different meet-ups. |
