Wha happen? Someone (czarcasm?) should just go ahead and make a decision. Not everyone is going to be happy and not everyone is going to be able to make it, but we shouldn’t put it off forever. Also, my summer is booking up pretty quickly. I’m down to about 5 or so weekends over the next 3 months.

Sorry guys, I went to the George W. Bush school of group decision-making. I have decided on Sacramento for us. Now, we need a Coalition of the Willing Dopers.

Okay, I tallied up the “top three” rankings with weight (3 votes for the first, 2 for the second, 1 for the first):
Tahoe: 17
Reno: 26
Sacramento: 35
Ashland: 38
_coughs_ ASHLAND!

That should of course read “3 votes for the first, 2 for the second, 1 for the **third**.” (No funny business going on here. :))

Just to note that Labor Day weekend is a little strange around Reno with the passage of the 25,000 Burning Man attendees flowing through. Starting Sunday morning they’re going to start hitting town on their way back to civilization.

Looks like we need one in Saratoga and one in Reno and maybe one in Ashland.

And some mean eggplant parmesian sandwiches, which, while eating, I got all over my pants and sleeves, thus earning me the possibly funny nickname: Eggpant Armesian

Also when are we doing this?

Sorry, the Labor Day thing was mentioned somewhere else. Wasn’t trying to influence date picking.

I’d attend, except the last time I uttered the B-word in the wrong crowd, I barely escaped with my skin intact.
