I live in Stockton…weekends would be unlikely. It’s easier for me to steal away for a long lunch or afternoon…but don’t let me stop you, if evenings or weekends work better for everybody else… ---

I’d like to join in the fun. It’s just a 2-hour drive for me. Give me a date and time, and I’ll try to be there. ---

Woo Hoo!!! Ok, well heck. Weekends work best for me. As it is, I’ll have to figure out how to call in for a half night off to do this. But I hope that it’ll be worth it. Now, to figure out what to do. I’m going to start a new, related thread… watch for it! ---

**Drachillix and Cyn** can do most weekends with a few weeks notice. We are in Fresno bout 2.5 hour drive south. ---

Ok, we’re starting to pull in folks from other Northern Cali areas. Any of you Bay Area folks care to come up? Can someone give **White Lightning** a ride? Hmmm… it’s looking like this will probably be some weekend in March, to give enough folks enough time to make arrangements. ---

**Drachillix** and I are in Fresno, so some weekend, name a date, and we’re willing to go for a drive. We like cider! ---

Ok, I admit it, I suck at this. It is now the beginning of April, and I let this die. However, I would very much like to do this. Sadly, at this point I’m pretty much booked for the entire month of April (moving, and have a Drunken Chess Tournament to attend). May. Let’s start discussing dates now. I promise I won’t let this die. No crossies. ---

A shamefaced bump. I certainly hope you good people didn’t give up on me. ---

Hi! I’m up in Yuba City, and I can certainly make a trip to Sacramento without too much trouble. –Patch ---

Wow. It’s alive! It’s _ALIIIIIIVE!!!_ /mad scientist. Ok. I’m going to do a mass emailing again. We’ll see what comes of it. **WL** - I have no idea where El Cerrito is, sad to say. Hopefully one of our more geologically savvy dopers would be able to help you out there… ---

I’ll be happy to give the _Kiss of Death_[sup]®[/sup] to this event. (After tax time, that is …) **White Lightning** , you might even have a ride. Let’s exchange many useless emails about the subject. ---

I wouldn’t mind seeing a few Dopers again, and since I don’t particularly want to see most of the BADs anymore, Sacramento is the closest venue. I’m intrigued by the idea of so many new (as far as having met in person) faces. Most any weekend is fine for me. ---

After Tax Time… So is May good for you, or no? I’m thinking end of May. That gives us two months. So the tentative plan at this point is to meet up at The Fox and Goose (someone also said Streets of London, if I recall correctly). Drink, eat, have fun. From there, we can determine the next step. Any suggestions? ---

May is good. Weekends are preferred. ---

**Snoop** , your post made me ☹ **Tristan** , EC is between… eh… Berkeley and Richmond? North of Oakland. **Zenster** , sounds like a plan. ---

Ex- Sac Doper here (although it’s been years since I lived there). But if I can nab a ticket to a Kings’ playoff game (sure, they’re going all the way and yeah, I flew up last year for game 5 of the Lakers series), then I would certainly make the trip. It just depends on the kindness of the ex-husband (dang, he got custody of the Giants and the Kings season tickets, but I got the condo in Palm Springs heh!) So keep posting, since I’ll need some advance time to plan and make travel arrangements. Can we get into Tunel 21??? I wanna see Vlade’s place!
