I’d be happy to meet you in the valley and carpool from there. You will have plenty of to sober up between the OC and the valley.  
Let me know.

Sunday, eh? That’s the day I generally do the laundry (although sometimes not until _waaayyy_ after sunset), so that shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

I’ll give it my best shot.

I, **kaylasdad99** , poster at the SDMB signify that I am available and would attend a Southern California Dopefest:

I should hope so. Anyway, I’ve got a paying gig on Sundays that has me in Garden Grove until about 1300.

Well I live near where the 405/5/210/118 freeways come together.  
Now depending on which way you come down from Ventura that is either good or bad. 🙂  
If you take the 126 to the 5 you drive right by my house. This may have a bunch of traffic however.  
If you take the 118 or the 23 to the 118 you are again very close to my house.  
If you take the 101 down, you aren’t so close, but we can arrange to meet somewhere off the 101.  
Frankly, any of these routes are fine with me. Let me know which route you would like to drive, and we can pick a place.  
How’s that for flexible?

I’m in Camarillo and my parents are in Simi, so the 118 works well. I kinda know that area since my sister used to live in Sunland and we’d visit her friend in Canyon Country. You wanna PM me instead of posting your address for the whole world to see? =^.^=

If someone is heading down the 405, I would love to catch a ride. I’m right off the 405 on Victory. I can wrangle a car if not, but it would make my life simpler.

Yes, this insanity is naturally fueled. Be afraid.

Be afraid? You mean the type of fear we SoCal hockey fans have of teams that win the President’s Cup only to go out with a whimper in the playoffs?..that type of fear? 😉

Just a weekly bump, and also a note that I can probably provide a lift to anyone in the San Gabriel Valley area who may need it or want it.

Also, who’s bringing the goat?

[/QUOTE]

Missed it by this much. My goat-ranching neighbor sold his house and left a sole goat, who I found munching on hay with the horses and being generally cantankerous. Of course I was prepared to keep him - he had bitchin’ horns and a pretty fur pattern, and I can always use more bitchy pets. Alas, my neighbor returned for his goat (but left his wife. Hmmm.)

Hey **LOUNE** , you can room with the horses if you like (you named one, after all!), but I’m afraid I’m short on proper people room.

What’s with all the Michigan people in here threadsquatting? Everyone knows all the real Michiganders live down here in Florida. I suspect that they are the invading Horde from Canuckistan.
