Third Annual California BBQ!!!

**gini** · 01-01-2005, 08:29 PM

It isn't as though I am feeling pressured or anything , but a certain person from Canada and yeah, I hear some shouting from the rolling home too. And Laurie, is that you pounding on my door?

So, here you go................

The Third Annual California BBQ will be held on SATURDAY, JULY 16TH.

It was suggested that I leave the date open and let people pick a convenient July date........but I figured there is one of me........and a whole bunch of you.........so that date is firm!

Seven and a half months notice in advance ought to let you make a plan and obtain a good inexpensive airfare.

Seriously, I love putting this on, and everyone is welcome to attend. Trust me.........you haven't had lemonade until you let four Pet Talkers make it for you!

I hope many more can attend this year!

(oh, yeah, and there are slushies too!)

Can you tell me anything about either of these hotels? Like are they in a "good" area? I found them by searching your address, Gini, so they are supposedly close to you.

Econo Lodge
777 N. Vine St. , Hollywood, CA, US, 90038
Phone: (323) 463-5671 Fax: (323) 463-5675

Comfort Inn
321 North Vermont Ave , Los Angeles, CA, US, 90004
Phone: (323) 665-0344 Fax: (323) 665-1152

My dad is checking if he can get me a cheap rate at either of these (he manages a Comfort Inn) and I've found a flight on United, Seattle to Cali, for only $183... hmmm

Yippee! Naomi, I will p/m you about these hotels.

You're right Naomi....flights are alot cheaper leaving from Seattle. I'll probably fly down on the 13th or 14th so I can help with the prep work; maybe we can carpool to Seattle. I just did a search and found one for $226 CDN. I've emailed you some other info.

I wish you all would TRY to look forward to this or something!

All this reluctance is depressing!

YIPPEE!!! I know its seven months away, but I'm already sooooooo excited!!!!!

**wolf_Q** · 01-02-2005, 08:19 PM

I may make it to this one, but I'm not sure.

**slick** · 01-02-2005, 08:30 PM

Oh Amy......
please, please, please try to make it! I really want to meet you.

seven months away

**ahem** don't you mean 6 1/2 months??? Let's not wait any longer than we have to!!!

Beware, I'll be there

I've already got my plane ticket! By the time my boss told me I could have the full two weeks off for Christmas, I had already bought my ticket. Southwest lets you use an unused ticket anytime within a year of the original flight date, so since I didn't use that ticket for Christmas, I'll be using it for the BBQ! Yippeee!!! Not sure if Terry will come along or not, but we've got plenty of time to work on that.

Any plans for doing Disney or something similar again this year? I would like to arrive a few days early and stay a few days late, but I'll have to see how my vacation schedule shakes out for the year.

Oooohhh Saaaarrraaahhhh.....ready for some Chicago company?

Can't wait!!!

Second, I know Slick wants to make it a 2-day Disney trip this year. I'm planning on going with her. Disneyland is always a fun thing.

Sorry Connie.....I'll try to cheer up.....

So is this happening in Southern California??

What about in Northern California?

It IS the "3rd Annual CALIFORNIA BBQ"....

But I may be able to make it wherever it is... I was planning on going down to SoCal around then anyway... maybe....
