CA trip update

[lorimt]

So, after lots of dithering about dates and times, and much stalling due to keyboard angst, I have an actual plan.



Phase 1 (East-folk reunion) will be in Paso Robles (which is near San Luis Obispo, about halfway from LA to San Francisco) the weekend of April 18. I plan to fly in to LA (probably) Friday night or Saturday morning, rent a car, drive up to Paso Robles, then head south again Monday night or Tuesday morning, depending on people's schedules. Let me know if you're thinking of coming and how sure you are on a scale of 'hey, it could happen" to "I've booked a flight / taken vacation time."

I will be nowhere in the vicinity, but I hope you have fun. :-)

I could probably make my way to Paso that weekend as long as nothing else comes up, but it is in the middle of the quarter for me. Where are you thinking of staying?

[quartzpebble.livejournal.com]

Would love to go. Have not formally taken vacation time, but see no problem with it.

There's a RenFaire in Escondido the 25th-26th of April, by the way. Interested?

Also, interested in car company?

sadly will probably not be able to make it, due to job up in the air-ness, wish I could, and if things work out perfectly it might might might happen but I don't think so

[sithjawa.livejournal.com]

Far as I know I'll be around.

We won't be going up North but would love to see you!

[catbird.livejournal.com]

you being L... we are already going to see you (S) today :P

I'm in. Haven't gotten tickets or vacation time yet, but it shouldn't be a problem. Interested in trying to coordinate flights/rides?

[dclayh.livejournal.com]

I'll be there.

Not sure I'd be there - I was expecting something a lot closer to the Bay area, so this adds a lot of driving time and the wrinkle of needing to find lodgings. If it doesn't work out, I'd love to see you next time you're out on this coast.

[scholarjeff.livejournal.com]

Well, that was surprising. Things worked out better than I had expected, so I should be able to come after all.

I probably won't be able to make it - it looks like that'll be crunch time at work.

[ywalme.livejournal.com]

I can't make it (sadface) -- it's tech week for the Bernstein Mass. Have lots of fun on my behalf.

[jibb.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Still looking into it.

[iluvsheep.livejournal.com]

Ah, keyboard angst.

I'm probably in, I'm guessing my better half isn't.

I think it would be nice if we pulled a wedding-style trick and booked a swath of rooms at a hotel in the area. Then everyone could room in and around the same place. This will, of course, require more typing and maybe even another LJ entry.

I think I will be in Paso Robles. :)

[avani.livejournal.com]

What he said :) Also, we can take 2-3 people in the car driving from/to the greater SF Bay Area.

[iluvsheep.livejournal.com]

I wish you could have one comment reply to two posts. Anyway, see my comment below.

[iluvsheep.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of flying in SF, and visiting some people before heading down (or, alternately, visiting after Paso Robles). Would you guys be interested in carpooling?

[inferno0069.livejournal.com]

Sounds fine with me (unless we've already committed to a full car without my knowledge).

[iluvsheep.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks.

Let's coordinate a little bit more via email. I'm <first_initial><last_name>@gmail.com.

I'm hoping to buy tickets soon, and I should know when you are heading down and driving back up before I do that.

Drop by Caltech if you have time! (or Harvey-Mudd, since we could make it over there and have a reunion thing)
