So.Cal. BBQ? Anyone Interested?

Fine you people make me sick, all living within driving distance of each other. You all can just "get together" whenever!

Fine, I'll fix you. I start my own thread and have my own bar-b-que and not invite any of you, (that is unless you are in the area)

I guess in theory we can get together any time, but it doesn't really happen. I live within walking distance from Disko and LostAngeles's school, but have not seen them one time since the last TAM.

Anyway, I would love to be a part of a spring BBQ/picnic/field trip, and April/May sounds perfect.
 
I'm proposing Saturday, April 12th, or Saturday April 19th. The weather will be warmer and drier, and there will be no need for "math-offs;" no matter how sexy geeky that sounds.

So, how about it? Griffith, say 2-ish on one of the dates above. IF we do 2-ish, then folks who are interested can go to the Observatory first.

Yay!!

The three of us should do lunch sometime.
 
I'd be up for a SoCal get-together; I'm in the OC, so it's a bit of a trek for me to Griffith, but if the date works out and the gods are smiling on me, I might be able to make it.

You know, if you can make it, you're more than welcome to join us.

Sure, we'll make you wear a big sign that says, "Not really from So. Cal," but you're welcome. :D

We should indeed!

As it stands, I like April 19th as a date.

You should carpool with Brian Dunning. I think he's near that area...Irvine is near the OC...right? I have no idea.

Thanks. Don't think I could handle the drive time.

OC is a big place... I am in Irvine right now, though. And yes, I tend to call it OC when I am here.
 
Given sufficient notice (more than, say, two days), I'm free pretty much any weekend, except for a couple that have already been ruled out.
 
Ok, so far 4/12, 4/13 and 4/19, 4/20 are the most popular weekends. We'll narrow the date down to a specific day when more people respond. I'll send out another poll for choosing the specific day also.


If you haven't already, go here and check the days that are best for you. Here is the link: http://doodle.ch/gw7dus8wt8mzz99b
 
DV and LA, let's make it happen!

I'm just going to be the easy one and say any weekend in April will probably do me fine.
 
There MAY be some people who like to procrastinate (evidence: posting in JREF), and who will therefore be doing their taxes on the 4/12-4/13 weekend. Not saying I'll be one of them, but as things stand today (still waiting for Tax Cut to go on sale at Target), I'd vote for 4/19-4/20.

I think Dunning might be in Aliso Viejo; in either case, they're both in tha Oh See, and nearby where I live, so maybe I'll check with him on that. Thanks!

There is an absolutely wonderful BBQ take out place near Griffith Park, Pecos Bill's. I don't really remember HOW close, since I haven't been to Griffith Park since I was much, much, much younger, but I go to Pecos Bill's at least once a year, so I know it's still good food!!

('cept for Terry and Steve, but soon it'll be fresh fruit season, and I'd be willing to make some fruit salsa for them.)

According to what I was told as a child, that park across that little street is part of Griffith Park...albeit a bit remote from what most people think of as Griffith Park, like a freeway runs through it.

And for the rest of you, you might want to pick a specific place in Griffith Park to meet. It's not exactly like you can see across it.

That little park across the street that's part of Griffith Park would work, and you can see across it, mostly...
