jemmyell Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hello, I guess I will go ahead and start a new thread and pitch some ideas for meeting locations. The Los Angeles Arboretum is centrally located and would be a nice place to meet. It closes at sunset so moving to one of the local restaurants would be good then. -James Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Checked out the Los Angeles Arboretum website. Looks interesting. Somewhat similar to Goldengate park in SF. LA Arboretum The Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden is located at 301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, CA, 91007. Open daily from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm; admission closes at 4:30 pm. Arboretum members are admitted free. Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors (62 and over), $5 for students with ID,and $2.50 for children 5- 12. Children under 5 are admitted free. Parking is free. The Arboretum is a 127-acre botanical garden and historical site jointly operated by the Los Angeles Arboretum Foundation and the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. For more information, call 626-821-3222. Anyway the location is pretty close to San Gabriel City (about 15 minutes, according to yahoo maps). San Gabriel San Gabriel Square Mall140 W. Valley BoulevardSan Gabriel, CA 91776 Phone: 626/280-0786 Fax: 626/280-7597 Visit the 12-acre San Gabriel Square mall, sometimes called “The Emerald City” or “Chinese Disneyland”, at Del Mar Avenue and Valley Boulevard. I propose we set the meeting time at 10:00 am on Saturday, March 25th. Maybe we could do the LA Arboretum in the morning, and then lunch in San Gabriel Square Mall followed by shopping. Then possibly dinner ? Here is are a few local hotels for those coming from out of town: Century Inn The Hilton Budget Inn Garden Inn You will have to call for reservations. Link to comment
jim_julian Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Smog? We don't got no smog ... maybe some haze ... Link to comment
Feathers268 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 If you got the place, you just need the date. Then add it to the calendar. You might consider a low smog month, though.190531[/snapback]I believe we talked about March 25 as a date. If this needs to change we better do so quickly, I've aleady submitted my time off request and would need time to change it. Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 It is set in stone, unless we have an earthquake .... Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have added the Calendar Event. There is no turning back now Calendar Link to comment
Feathers268 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 So, then we are set.San Gabriel on March 25, 2006.I'll be making resevations within the week to head down on Friday the 24th and to return on the 26th. Anyone else from up north here interested in carpool/caravan let me know, and for all others, let's get a roll call going. We are about 5 weeks out at this time folks. Link to comment
Jason+Joanna Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Maybe we could get the Don or one of the of other moderators to move this thread to a more accessible location, so that guest can see it. I know I sometimes don't login. It would get more view time pinned in another area... Don can you help us out ? Link to comment
jemmyell Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi, I am confirming for March 25th! Looking forward to meeting the 'California Brigade'! I hope that there is a mix as my SO will not be here yet, if I am the only guy without his love, it may make me sad... -James Link to comment
shutterme2 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I would like to come to this meet-up, We are due to get our visa on the 14th of March.

I'll be there solo ... if I'm in the US. It's crazy but I never know my travel schedule very far in advance. Link to comment

We're in for the 25th. Link to comment
Dan R Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hey this is California! Anything is possible here. But it will be interesting to see if we have it before this thread reaches 50 pages. After all we have a rep to protect Link to comment
Dan R Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Cool, the thread was moved. Don seems to be recognizing tthat California has culture. Either that or he thinks we speak a foreign language. Maybe that's true after having visited OR-E-GUN. Hey do any of the wives miss Chinese scrubs at the bath house? In L.A. Koreatown they have bath houses that scrub til you're red if any want to try. Link to comment
Jeikun Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I should be moved in, settled, and "gasp" have the 25th and 26th of March off, perhaps the 24th also. Still in Virginia though, so we'll see exactly how things pan out, but hopefully... Link to comment
