I see plenty of people who hail from northern and southern California, but who is from the San Jose Area. Not to get too specific here, but I am from the San Jose/Los Gatos/Saratoga area, anyone else? ---

Why isn’t there a meeting closer to this area? I probably won’t be able to get to anything in Monterey because I have work and school. * * * We must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us. Sheila Broflofski ---

Hi! I’m in Santa Cruz (and will be til late March). How bout the next meeting can be in San Jose? That sounds cool with me, as long as we hold it in a gay bar. I had, of course, been thinking the city for that, but I suppose there are some good gay bars in SJ. We’ve done one Mexican place, we’re doing another in February. Clearly, we need to branch out a bit and do some serious clubbing. * * * ~Kyla “Anger is what makes America great.” ---

Just let these San Jose dopers get a taste for a meeting, then they’ll be travelling WAY out of their way to attend. Sound like someone you know…? Ok, ok, I’m addicted! 😉 * * * “It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.” ---

I live in the south part of Morgan Hill. Technically, the southernmost city limits of San Jose are barely 5 miles north of me, but what most people mean by “San Jose” (e.g. the downtown area and the various Golden Triangles in the north) are all at least 20 miles to the north of me. Does that count? ---

tracer- morgan hill is plenty close. Technically, I’m not in San Jose either, but this is what a typical conversation is like when I am far enough out of the area, Someone Else-Where are you from? Me-Campbell. SE-Huh? Me-It’s right by San Jose. SE-Oh. So it’s just easier to say San Jose. * * * We must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us. Sheila Broflofski ---

I’m in Willow Glen and I’m up for anything (restaurant, club, gay bar, S/M den) close as long as I get my husband to watch the kid. How will I ever explain that I’m just going to meet a bunch of intelligent, funny people over spending time with him? smirk. * * * A woman needs four animals in her life: A mink in the closet, a Jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bedroom, and an ass to pay for it all. —Zsa Zsa Gabor ---

Actually we are trying to move the meetings all over the bay area. Monterey was chosen this time coz Doobieous tempted us with a restaurant on the beach, and a whole city of tourists to torment after we have had our fun with the waiters/waitresses at the restaurant. Anyone wanting a ride to Monterey can let me know. I can take 3 more people if you don’t mind being seen with a PurpleCrackwhore 😉 * * * I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
