Southern California Straight Dope Shindig

The decision has been made. The Southern California astrologist have checked the star charts. The timeskeepers have checked their watches. The mapmakers have checked their mapmaking things. A date time and place for the shindig has been decided upon.

The ScuzzyDash is Hip.
Everyone is doing it.
Join the ‘In’ Crowd.

What time?
4:00 PM

What date?
February 26th

Where at?
The Gladstones at Universal City walk.

Who is invited?
Anyone interested.

Proper Attire?
Whatever won’t get you arrested.

I guess it would be nice to have an approximate headcount before the big day, so maybe people could respond to this thread, or email me if they plan on going. Then perhaps we can call Gladstone’s to find out if we can get a table early. (Another job I will leave up to our CityWalk correspondent, Rilchiam [Hope you don’t mind?])

The ScuzzyDash is cool.
It will be the ‘Scene’
Don’t be left behind.

why 4 pm? i think i will be at work still then…

how many people do you think are coming?

Well, count me in. Congratulations pricciar on all your hard work. It’s not easy organizing a get-together.

It will be interesting to see the faces behind the posts!

I’m there! With hubby (Highlander). Gonna leave Eldest, Middle and Youngest Sons home, though.

I’m really going to try to be there, but my schedule is still a bit too up in the air to give a definite answer…

…keep me in the loop, please!

Sounds like a hep scene, mon. I’ll try to make it.

Say, what’s up with “Gladstones 4 Fish” on PCH? They only have 4 fish? For EVERYBODY? Must be big fish. Either that, or you need to get there early…

I’ll try to be there, if I remember it. Haven’t been to Universal in years.

Count me in!

I thought 4 pm was a good time, because it wasn’t real late, and it wasn’t in the middle of the day. What time do you get off of work, chief?

Going by this thread there are 7 people and one maybe, and going by the emails I have gotten there are 2 definites and one maybe.

So that brings us to a total of 9 yeses and 2 maybes.

Jab, don’t worry we won’t let you forget.

I’m in, and probably bringing the b/f along (he’s the ultimate lurker, and the one responsible for introducing me to the SD in the first place).

Party on!

We should each have a name-tag with our UserName on it. Or maybe it would be fun to guess who’s who.

Just returning this to the top of the list in case any new Southern California Dopers have yet to see it.

so does anyone know how many people are going so far?

Yes, I’d like to have a ballpark figure when I make the reservation. In fact, I will call tomorrow and ask if they have one of those “banquet” rooms, just in case. As a former restaurant hostess, I know what a PITA it is to have to rearrange tables to accommodate a large group.

Lookin’ forward to it! Anyone bringing a digital camera?
