OK, we’ve been talking about this for a while in the chat room. So far, we’ve mentioned the 12th and 19th of February(Saturdays) as good options for this meeting. Sly McFly’s has been mentioned as a good meeting place. It is on Cannery Row and it looks like it has a pretty cool atmosphere. Any other suggestions for dates or places? Again, something to consider is that we are _all_ not 21, so minors must be allowed, yet there still must be alcohol available (Or I sure as shit ain’t going!) Who thinks they may be able to attend? Doob, are you gonna wimp out on a meeting in your own town? (heheh, I had to sneak that in there 😉 * * * “Teaching without words and work without doing are understood by very few.” -Tao Te Ching ---

I will be there with purple bells on! :eek: The 19th works for me…and so does McFlys. * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

Either is fine for me, I’ll volunteer to be designated driver for anyone in the north bay who wants to come down with me. (SF, etc.) Could we start it at say lunchtime though? I’d like to get in a full day of reveling but not have to drive home with all the drunks. Oh and get home before anyone notices I’m gone, \. 😉 * * * “I’m the luckiest man in the world, now that Lou Gehrig is dead.” Homer Simpson ---

I don’t mind starting the fun and games early voguevixen. But, you’re driving home? I thought we were all going to rent a big hotel room together like we did last time!

Hey Demo, you know I’ll go. Either date is fine by me. I like the idea of a hotel room, too, but do I get to pick who I want to share it with? 😉 So, Story, you gonna’ join us? ---

I live in Pacific Grove. So, Ill take the task of finding a block of hotel rooms. Theere is a nice one just about on the beach, pool [dunno if its heated] sunsets, beach, surf, rates cheap, but vary, about $59 now, one or two people. Also can check on where to meet. I like Torritos, because Sly I think has certain nights for umm, alternative lifestyles and if you all drinking well, I wouldn’t want to be responsible should wake up with a new sexual direction. 🙂 ---

Wow I am doing multiples now. I don’t much care for Torritos, any other restaurant in the area is ok tho. Some don’t serve during the day even on weekends so we need to check that out. * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature! ---

> [@](#): > > So, Story, you gonna’ join us? Whoohoo!!! I’m game! And the 19th works well for me (got the 21st/Monday off). I think the hotel idea is also a good one. If the BAD meeting is any indication, I don’t think _any_ of us should be driving… \(snicker!)\ And Pat, if it’s at all humanly possible, I plan to be at the LA Dopes gathering, too (I hope it works out that you guys don’t meet on the 19th of Feb!).

> [@](#): > > spatula? Oh boy! I get to tell a story!!! Long time ago, late, late one hot summer night, I could hear another couple in my apt. bldg. really going at it (air-shafts are notorious for amplifying every sound). There was giggling and thumping and bumping and general miscellaneous noises for well over an hour. Then total silence. After about 10 minutes of quiet, I’m (finally) able to nod off and as I’m just about to float away, I hear the man’s voice say “Hey, where’s the spatula?” Now, I’m not sure what they were doing down there, but whatever it was, I wasn’t the only one who got a kick out of it (there were snickers and giggles all up and down the air shaft that night!). * * * **StoryTyler** “Not everybody does it, but everybody should.” [I Spy Ty.](http://sites.netscape.net/storytyler/homepage) ---

Damn, and I was just going to post a similar message today too. I guess I need to get online earlier than 3 or 4 pm :). I’m pretty much up for any restaurant as long as it’s not expensive (like The Sardine Factory). I guess I may need to take a trip down to Cannery Row and check out the restaurants (They usually have their menus posted outside so passers by can see what they have). * * * It’s worth the risk of burning, to have a second chance… ---

Those coming to the meeting should post to the board I own. I want to keep track of those serious from those not quite sures. Torritos is still great, but would need reservations.
