This is happening this time. I don't care what you say. I am gonna drag each and every one of you to this, kicking and screaming. You will cancel birthdays, family dinners, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and dates. You have a month to clear this fucking date on your calendar and BY GOD you will attend!
So, I gotta know who will be attending...
And I gotta hear suggestions of where to have this. I'm willing to travel to OC to get this going, if that's the case. I'd prefer something closer to MY home, but I realize that not many people are from Ventura County. We're looking for an uncrowded restaurant with a laid back atmosphere or park/beach with close food access. Fire 'em off.

NOOOOOO!!!!! I'm going to be visiting home (LA) soon, but only until June 1st. *snaps*

You should organize another one in August. After the 5th. When I'll be home again. For me.

Hmmmm...well I was going to post we could have it at my place but then I noticed it's the same Sunday when the Cubs are in town to play my Angels.

Want to change the date....there might be a ticket in there for you :D

You have 2 other days to watch the Cubs.. you are coming whether you like it or not!

hmmmm.... .maybe we do one here in NYC and tie them together....

I have tickets for all three games:lol:

I'm sure you know someone who who doesn't visit the TFP who would love to see them for one game. :p

Hmmmm..Sunday day game in Anaheim...Chicago Cubs...ball will be flying out of the park. Game will be sold out, I have choice seats...Hmmm...CHANGE THE DAMN DATE and we can have a party at my place.:D

Count me in. Day and time sound good to me.
I'd prefer someplace in OC myself. What sort of place are we looking to meet up at?

The date is firmly set! Everyone must adjust!

:)

Ok...lets all meet at Angel Stadium :D

While being a relatively quiet guy around here, I might be good to go.
I'm just a little non-social but we'll see.

Angels play the ChiSox :D

I'm up for $5 cheap seats!!

I will commit to try to get the day off work and rock it! But Halx, you have got to keep it in your pants! I don't want to go home crying...

I'm in. I'll be coming up from San Diego and don't have too many ideas on where we could meet. I'll concede to the decision of others.

I think I'll be there unless something gets in the way. I'm definitely up for a baseball game if you want to do that, but as a Mariners fan I will have no choice but to boo the Angels the whole time.

No chance on the baseball game.. it's sold out

Well, tentatively it looks like I have the day off so lets light a fire under this and make it happen!

*raises hand* I might just be able to mosey on in...

I might be able to swing the long drive, if you'd accept a NorCal resident.

I will more then likely be able to make it.

Thats what I want to hear! :D

You can count me in....I'll be there!

you gonna help me find somewhere to stay? :p .. and am I promised my apple martini?

So, are we any closer to figuring out where this might happen?

Silly, we'll figure something out.

Well i'm trying to decide between West LA and OC. Here are a few venues we can consider:

Restaurant
Pool Hall
Bowling Alley
Park
Beach
Coffee Shop

Have a blast, all you good people!

If we go to a park, Im bring my bochi balls! Hmmm... maybe a bbq?

I think a park would be a good idea, or the beach. Depending on how many people go, a restaurant or coffee shop would be crowded, and a bowling alley would probably want us to reserve lanes so people could hang.

oooh! Bochi balls! :)

BBQ sounds good, too. I'm liking the park idea.

Look for a public park where you can setup a bbq, and your bocci ball court, you may have to pay a small fee to reserve it for the afternoon, and cleanup when done, although if you are town/city resident, probably not. Bring chairs, blankets, food - -and enjoy.

I've never played Bochi Ball....you guys will have to teach me.

Is bochi ball the one where you have to throw your ball closest to the other ball that you throw?
And a park sounds like a good plan!

if we were to do the park thing.. how would we arrange a bbq?

Everyone that's coming could bring some type of food. Maybe we could find a place with grills already there. If not, maybe someone has one they can bring?

well my boss has one .. he says he'd like to come, and he's got access to a truck, so we're good on that if NEED be

Okay. It's still up in the air if I'm gonna be there. I'm trying my hardest but money will be tight.


My birthday is the 14th of July and I'm goin' to LA to visit my cousin for my b-day. That's part of the reason we're doin' this when we are. So, no more people can bitch about the date.

We could do the BBQ thing... everyone just has to bring food... burgers, hot dogs, steak, dog, horse, small children. I'm a big fan of bars myself... as you all know. I'd be down for a BBQ then a night on the town... Hal and I need to go pick up girls in his new car and anyone is welcome to come along.

For an idea for you -- (I'm a east coast gal, so california is out of my territory - check out campgrounds for a starting point)

This one looked real pretty
http://www.olemaranch.com/
(tis in ventura county -- you could probably rent a tent site or two - for a day --

their day rate is 3 dollars per person --

most campgrounds have bbq pits -

That campground even has WiFi.

living in ventura county, I know several good places to set up there... however, I dont really wanna subject the OC and SD people to the long drive..

unless it's ok with them
