Default Re: Meet in Southern California?

Update.

Was wanting to get this all hammered out this last weekend but got caught up in other activities. So.....

Since no one has objected to meeting in San Diego, the plan is to meet here at say 10, socialize for an half hour to hour, run to Julian which should be an hour and a half (depending on how often we get stopped for speeding), eat lunch in Julian, then either head on back to San Diego or breakup and everybody heads home.

Right noiw I'm deciding on a San Diego meeting spot. The stadium would be ideal except I don't know if it will be opened Sat morning. And if it's not, there is no place to park outside. So I'm looking at a restaurant off either 5 or 15 that's easy to see and get to. Either that or a Walmart parking lot or something like that. The problem with San Diego is that the lights are so poorly timed that a caravan can easily get broken up so I'd like to avoid surface streets as much as possible.

Julian has all kinds of eating places along it's main street so maybe its best if we just decide while there, especially if some are packed with tourists.

I don't know how many will attend. SVO has been egging me on so he better show up. Eganders lives close by so he has no excuse not to attend. This coming weekend was selected to accomodate Mike-in-Orange so he should show, else I'll spite him by polishing my car with a brillo pad. Msheredy has expressed interest but since no one has ever seen him I don't think he really exists. Lets say a half dozen cars which would be a good showing since most live in the LA area. Course if a dozen show that would be even better.

Sorry about the vague plans at this point. I'll get things firmed up by Wed-Thurs. Right now plan on San Diego at ten, Julian by 1. Specific details won't altered the basics to any great degree.

By the way, Julian is know for pies. So if you are a pie lover, and who isn't, plan on fulfilling your second most favorite fantasy.
