Ok guys! ROUND UP TIME!!!
As it seems we have a weekend set out for some fun on the Space Coast, and the dates are April 16, 17, and 18... and now we wanna who's coming?
I'll start with the obvious ones:
Rae
Misty
Urs53
Bigdice67 [size=7]aka me in this post[/size]
Please do not hesitate, we're gonna have some of Rae's delicious lasagna, and BBQ, and whatnots!
We had a blast last year, and I think it could happen again! Let's show them californians how to cook up a party!!! They're at it a weekend earlier than us...
bigdice, How many are you guys expecting to your Florida Gathering?
That's what I wanna know too!!! It's us four, for sure, and I hope roger and Letty can make it, and now there's a gazillion floridians on a2k who can participate!!!
I know you guys are going to be a big lot, and I would have loved to be there, c.i., believe me! Do you have any specific numbers?
Our numbers have dwindled to almost a handful, but we're also waiting for more confirmations. I think we're looking at about 10-max.
That sounds like a very manageable size, we were 9 last year, which meant everybody found time for everybody!
Early in the planning stages, we had about 25 to 30 people interested. Maybe it's just as well; I'll be able to take some people on some interesting side trips to the wine country and Jelly Belly candy factory in Fairfield, some to Sausalito and Muir Woods, and possibly some to the Charley Brown/Ripley Museums in Santa Rosa. We also have the Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, Japanese Town, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and a whole slew of art galleries and great restaurants. We also have the Winchester Mystery House and Rosecrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose (about 45 miles south of San Francisco.
Waaaah - you're meeting in Florida for my birthday - and I can't be there!
Awwwwwwwwwww Margo, are you sure you can't make it?
Happy Birthday anyway, wherever you are!
Oh you guys, I'll really miss you this year. We are really looking forward to San Francisco, but the gathering last year made me want more. I hope we can do it next year if you decide you want another gathering.
Love to you all. SMOOCH!!
Margo, it's your birthday. You HAVE to come!
Diane, we will miss you so much!
Ok, now we know that margo and diane ain't coming, which means we have 11340 prospects, as I write this post...
Ok, fess up! Who's coming?
I would consider stopping in for some lasagna, but there's a real danger my arch-enemy, Occom Bill, might be there and the two of us would end up getting into a fistfight and spoiling the party for everyone.
Let me know of Bill's decision so I can make mine.
Well gus, what I've heard so far is that Mr. Bill is a good guy on his own turf... I'm not so sure what could happen if we mix in Mr. BiPolarBear as well, since he murmured something 'bout a southern karaoke tour...
Since I bring some ladies, gus, y'all can leave your Matildas and Gretas at home, ok, then there won't be any competition about yer honeys, would that be ok, Gus?
Greta? Damn.... I forgot about her.
Ok, don' tell her that yer going, gus, just say that you're going to the neighbors, or something like that... Use your fantasy, man!
i wish :-( i have a very busy wknd that wknd. dang
gus, Don't worry about bill showing up at the Florida Gathering. He's off to Costa Rica shortly, and his eyes are not even directed toward the east coast.
Double dang!!! You sure about the date, c.i.?
bigdice's quote, " which means we have 11340 prospects, as I write this post..." I like your optimism, bigdice. Wish I had some of that here on the west coast.
I thought Mapleleaf, Guatam, JerryR, Phoenix, were all coming? Whaaaaaaaaaaaa happened?
