Come on Southern California!!! Where are you?????????????????

Sue, with the way this thread is going, we have decided to hold the GTG in 2008. Hope to see you there. ;-p<BR><BR>I'll email Art in a few days to see where he is with replies, or maybe he'll post.

God people! Just set a day, name a time, pick a public restaurant or pub and tell people to show up if they are interested. End of story. It ain't a cotillion! (is it?)

Well, we are a little undecided over here on the southern coast. We've all checked in to the Hotel California.<BR>I vote for Mina and Art to be our leaders, just tell us when and where.

I emailed Art to see what he's thinking. I'll will let you all know status in a day or two. Keep an eye out for this thread!

I think that Art has disappeared.<BR>

I'm still here. I will send an email today to everyone who has emailed me.

Greetings and Salutations.<BR><BR>The date is tentatively set for Sat. Dec 7th. Most likely lunch somewhere in Downtown Disney, location TBD.<BR><BR>If anyone else would like to join in, feel free to email me or Art. Then you too, can be someone who enters a restaurant and blindly looks for someone they have never met.

You could all wear something travel related so you can recognize each other, or carry suitcases, lol.

We have 9 people so far fot the GTG. If any more are interested please email Crazy Mina or myself.<BR>

anyone else interested?

Did you post this on the other forums too? Or do you want this meeting to be for Europhiles only?<BR>It doesnt matter to me, just be nosey.

too ze top

Art, are the other boards invited too?

Is the get together still on? Anyone there? What's up?

I'm ready for it!!! Just need the place to show up. <BR><BR>Art? Mina?

Hi, yes, it's still on. Sorry about the delay...I was traveling a lot for business, and then the holidays happened, then my birthday, so I've been lazy!<BR><BR>I need a final count of who is going. You can post here, email me, or email Art. Please let me know by this Tuesday. <BR><BR>It will be in Downtown Disney. Place is still yet TBD, but will most likely be where I mentioned in the last email I sent out. I still have to check out some tapas places though. Time will be sometime around noon, if that works for everyone.<BR><BR>I'll send out more info from work tomorrow.

Hey all:<BR><BR>Sorry I didn't send out an email over the weekend. I'll do it tonight (since the email list is on my home computer). Thanks for the RSVP's so far. <BR><BR>BTW, anyone can come, so it's still open.

Did you invite anyone from other forums or is this only for Euro-ites? I didnt see an invite on USA threads.

No, I didn't put an invite on the US forum because I don't post there too often. I thought people would say &quot;Huh? Who is this crazy person inviting us to lunch?&quot;<BR><BR>But as I said, feel free.

Still working on it guys...BTW, tapas is out. The restaurant closed down in Oct (nice to see the website is still up and running though!)<BR><BR>Another place said they would do a set menu (I'll disclose location via email and put it out to vote) if we have 8 or more. So RSVP to my email address!<BR><BR>

P.S. It took only 60-some-odd posts (and counting) to get this thing together. I reckon, we're not too good at this! Sorry from a first timer! :)

Ooooh, looky, some USA boarder are coming too! You are doing a good job, Mina.

Mina it will be good for you to mingle with strangers, it will set you up for your solo trip next year, mingling is part of the fun, so practice.

Is someone going to take pictures of your party so we can all see you?

I don't know... <BR><BR>But I can tell you now that no one will be taking a picture of me. :)<BR><BR>Lee, my job is to mingle and schmooze...but I can always use the practice!

Oh, come on Mina. We want to put a face on the sheep herding Ireland visitor.

Ha ha eastcoaster.<BR><BR>Tell ya what...when I get pictures of all you nice people, you'll get one of me. =P<BR><BR>
