I’m beginning to think that my sartorial spendor isn’t really appreciated as it should be. 
If we hold it in Reno or Sacto, I can run by my cousin’s winery and snake some free booze…
Just sayin’.
Ya know, the flies in Yucaipa aren’t nearly so bad these days. They’ve stopped the chicken ranches spraying their effulent on the fields, so the flies have all moved to Banning.
Not like the old days, eh?
I remember you telling me that back at the last DF, I just thought that was cool that Yucaipa was mentioned and used for a test site. On that website, some of those flycatchers were shipped off to Iraq for fly control over there and it helped quite a bit.
Are you high? I WANT that yellow shirt. I’m snakin’ it while you’re down at the tables.
The junior high was the worst. Right next door to McNally Eggs. Ick.
Just once, I’d like to see Yucaipa in the news for something like “Teacher wins lottery.”
Oh, wait. That sorta happened.
Never mind.
if6was9 is gonna KIIIIIIIIIILLL you …
He hates those shirts.
Then he’ll have to kill both Sil and I…and that ain’t good odds.
Heh. No, I meant because I’m probably gonna spend a whole paycheck on that stuff now… 
Those are them. Lightingtool’s is nice, too, but I lusted after Sil’s as soon as I saw it.
Is it just me, or are there a lot of us redheads on the Dope?
Ashland!
I vote Reno. Not that I’ve ever been, but I hear it’s fun.
I’ll be the quiet one staring at people in a random order, flushing if she’s forced to answer a question. (Yeah, sorry people who went to the Portland gettogether in March '04. I had fun, though, even if it didn’t seem that way. 
)
Wherever we land, I’d like to cut costs as much as possible. I would be interested in sharing a motel room. And a car. Or a bus ticket. Or would that make you uncomfortable?
(Yeah, I’m flying on antihistamines right now, so please disregard the last two parts of that paragraph ^.)
I guess that rules out Ashland!
Reno, dammit!
NOT San Luis Obispo. Or Bakersfield. How about San Jose? Pasadena? oooooh… The Madonna Inn! Ok, it’s in SLO, but I’d suck it up for that.
Other ideas:
Monterrey?
Santa Barbara?
My (selfish) vote is for Sacramento. Anybody needing a new shirt for the occasion can stop here when they get into town. Next in order of preference would be Tahoe, and then Ashland.
We could probably do anything within a couple hundred miles, which fits just about every suggestion that’s been posted.
A quick note on Reno vs. Tahoe: Reno is fine if you want to gamble, but that’s about all there is to do. Tahoe has so much to do besides the casinos.
Plus, I have friends in Tahoe I can stay with.
