By this area I mean the Ca. bay area, but more specifically the area in or surrounding Concord, where I am.  
Like ya know, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek,Antioch, or anywhere reasonably close.  
If so, maybe we could get together sometime. I don’t have anything to drive now, but my SO does,so if it’s close enough…  
please zap an email to me.

I suspect that there are a lot of people in your area that won’t open this thread because the area in question doesn’t appear in the thread title. Basically you’re expecting every single person who reads the message board to open your thread to see if you might be addressing them.

At first, I whizzed past it at high warp speed myself (even though you could have been talking about my area), but came back to post this helpful hint. A little more detail in your thread title can make a world of difference.

Attrayant,  
Of course you’re right, although I didn’t realize I was asking for that.I’ve been up most of the night and am a bit woozy.  
I’m guilty of board snaggling, and I told myself I wasn’t going to do that. I will re-affirm.  
Thank you.

Here’s a thread from the [Bay Area Superbowl Party](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=55472). It’ll be a start.
