I've just sent out an e-vite for Sunday March 25th for the names that I have received. If any more of you So Cal Fodorites havn't seen this and are interested, e-mail me.

Are you going to have one this year?

Are you, Art? We love these get-togethers.

Why don't we all meet in a restaurant in the West LA area or Santa Monica? That would take any pressure off of Art.<BR>Any ideas?

Another GTG would be great. How about somewhere in OC, closer to San Diego?

How about at Downtown Disney? Plenty of parking and good restaurants and in the middle of So. Cal. It is the part that you don't pay to enter.

I'm up for one but can't host it at my house this time.<BR>

My apology, Art. I told Art that I would coordinate a get-together as Art needed to pass on it this summer. I've been out of town a lot the passed couple of months. In my opinion, Downtown Disney sounds great. If no one else wants to take charge in coordinating who's attending, I'll volunteer. Guess I may have to include my real email address -- only stopped because of all the junk mail, including the x-rated type.

OK, Diane, go for it! Downtown Disney sounds good, convenient for OC and LA counties. Keep us updated.

Diane, a couple of suggestions from No Cal. I helped coordinate our GTG last spring in SF. We started out at a private home for wine and cheese, then moved on to a restaurant for dinner. In retrospect, we wished we had held the whole GTG in someone's home. It's SO much more conducive to good conversation because we were able to move around and mingle. <BR><BR>If you want to release your real e-mail address, include it in the body of your message, not in the Fodor's e-mail box at the top of your message. It's safer that way.

Okay, folks. Anyone willing to volunteer his/her home? If not, we'll stick to original idea of a restaurant. Email me at [email protected]. Once we figure out the where, we can determine the when.

Diane, another quick suggestion. You might want to start a new thread for your new GTG, so folks won't need to scroll down through 30 messages. Maybe So Cal Fodorite GTG--2002. Bowing out now
