I really interested in meeting more folks close to the SF area…
Maybe get a chance to see one of my favorite flirts – Monsieur Suskind…and talk to Refinish about his art work…and all the rest of the crazy, wonderful froggies up here…
Ideas:
Time: sometime in mid-May weekends of May 6 or May 20.
Where: somewhere central maybe East Bay / Contra Costa County
Type: Afternoon picnic / hanging out in one of the regional parks…weather will hopefully be our usual May gorgeous.
I’m pretty flexible as to location…I’ll even go up to Sacramento – I love Old Town. We can even meet at my house in Marin if you want.
We did a picnic potluck for one of the SF Kossack meetups in Berkeley and had an amazing time and even better food.
Ideas?
as it’s the month before our Big Trip to the Northwest — but the spouse and I could attempt to make an appearance.
Now that we actually have a car, Tilden is doable (parts are transit accessible if you don’t mind a hike, but having a car works better). Golden Gate Park would be a good central location, but parking (and traffic) is a beeyatch on the weekends (spouse and I would probably transit it anyway). Ditto with Marin and crossing the GG Bridge. And probably East Bay would work best for folks, especially those coming down from Sacto — perhaps one of the other East Bay Regional Parks would work better for those folks?
Maybe after we’re back from SoCal, we can get a survey going to find out what area of the Bay our assorted FrogPond denizens reside in; that might help gauge a good central get-together spot. In any event, looking forward to seeing you next week! 🙂 (I’ll be just arriving in San Diego about 1 week from right now…)
for me…and apparently you. Our vacation is June also for two weeks to Idaho / Oregon.
About this time next Friday? Are you on the SF to SD flight that gets in at Noon or 2ish? I’m on the one that arrives about noon…
A bit far away for me, but I hope you can get it done. Can absolutely recommend meet-ups with fellow bloggers.
There was one for Kossaks in the NY-area on Wednesday. JaneKnowles (our intrepit organizer) has just put up a diary on kos with lots of pictures.
Yours truly and curly is in the one titled “Three Kossaks”.
I was over earlier dropping recs(4’s)…it looks like a great time!
Since I can figure out Curly – I get a 50/50 chance of guessing you are the tall smiling one…
You got it – in the middle (I have commented way down in the diary).
I would like to meet……
I live south of San Jose, and can also go as far as Sacramento, and all spots in between.
It would be great to get a bunch of us locally…
South of San Jose? I get down to Watsonville to see my grandkidlets about every 6 weeks or so….
I live right over the from Watsonville. Cool.
…over the HILL….
as I obviously am.
Gilroy side or Santa Cruz side?
The grandkidlets live on top of the hill…pretty close to Mt.Madonna State Park…which is would be awesome place for a South Bay party.
Gilroy side.
Hecker Pass Hwy.
There are probably a few others down in the south bay…and a breakfast meetup could be fun one Sat or Sun morning!
I know I’ll be down that way in mid-April…
;^)
That would be WONDERFUL !
It is so beautiful now; Mt. Madonna is a glorious picnic area: deer and birds and babbling brooks.
E-mail me, OK ? swarren@fastenerservice.com
when I get home tonight…that will terrific.
I am in Oakland, and would love to meet some of the Tribbers from around here. I know a number of us are heading south next weekend, but there are others that are not. So, count me in. :>)
That would be absolutely awesome.
..and next weekend will be so cool…I missed where you were coming down…way cool!
