Heehee, I haven’t been here for _years_, it just feels that way… I would like to take this opportunity to share this with you all: I hate traffic. It should not take me an hour to go 11 miles! And yes, he talks this way IRL. Though I don’t know that I’ve ever heard virtee say “gosh” before. ---

I was planning on going to this shindig anyway, so I’ll be there regardless. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of the nanny that evening so I’ll probably have ToddlerNym with me. I’m trying to get the girl next door to watch her, but even that would only be until 10pm. Wanna set up a meeting place for those who want to attend? If anyone is interested, that is. ---

Welcome virtee! I have to repeat what others have said, there are indeed some great people among the BAD’s, and now we have another. Rasa, you know I’ve got your back if anyone says you and Sue aren’t the cool people! Oh, and we aren’t “displaced”, we’re “imported”. 🙂 ---

Okay, the girl next door is watching ToddlerNym from 6:30 to 10pm, so I’m free to act like an idiot for a few hours. I’d say the Bank of America is pretty much dead center between Minnesota and Willow. I’m sure there will be a beer/wine tent close to that so if people are late, we won’t get parched. heehee If anyone (Jack!) wants to come down from places far away, I got a few extra rooms for sleepovers. ---

Ooh. My ears are burning. I’m not sure what my plans are for this weekend. If they remain open on Saturday, I’d love to come down and do something, that is if someone can give me a ride down. Am I being needy enough? - gimme a ride, lemme sleep at your house, I wanna beer, whine whine whine. 🙂 (Oh, where are my manners) - Welcome aboard **virtee**. ---

So how about 7 at the Bank of America? I can do that. Jack, can you take Caltrain or something? We could pick you up at the station near here… or if woodstock is coming down perhaps you can carpool… ---

BofA is on Lincoln Ave. between Minnesota and Willow. From Mtn View, take 280 down to Meridian South (2nd or 3rd exit past the 280/17/880 interchange). Turn left on Willow Ave (1.5 miles from freeway?). Go about a mile and you’ll cross Lincoln, but it’ll be blocked off so you can’t turn down it. Park and walk.
