Author Topic: Saturday, July 25....SoCal Pond Party/Greet Jessica (Read 6169 times)

We can have a hot summer SoCal Ponders Party in Lake Forest.

Jessica, I hope you see this. Hoping a dinner and chat can be worked into your schedule? If it does we can plan for a BBQ around 6-ish pm.

Maybe one member north of here can drive Jessica down (I can't remember where Jessica is staying).

If you like, bring a side dish to share or a favorite drink.

Ponders are welcomed, please PM me for directions. Did I forget anything, Jerry?

Unfortunately, I'm probably not going to be able to make it...I have to go to a CATS matinee that afternoon... I fear that the ride from Ventura County to south Orange County on a Saturday evening in the summer will be a minimum of 2 1/2 to three hours which means I wouldn't get there until around 8:30 p.m. at the earliest and likely later ...

Jerry · « **Reply #7 on:** July 09, 2009, 04:07:00 PM »

I think it's North OC? Still a trip. Hope we see you in Nortthridge in September

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #8 on:** July 10, 2009, 04:32:54 PM »

We're more south OC at the "Y" of fwys 5 and 405.

Sorry we'll miss you Argos5. (CATS as in Broadway? Fabulous!)

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #9 on:** July 11, 2009, 03:30:53 PM »

Haven't heard from you or anyone else in the area

Who did I miss?

It's hot today at 83*. Just the beginning of the heat wave.

Jerry · « **Reply #10 on:** July 11, 2009, 04:18:27 PM »

99 and I am tan!

jclements · « **Reply #11 on:** July 11, 2009, 04:35:22 PM »

It is 100 in Dallas right now. I am looking forward to cooling off in Cali!

Mikey · « **Reply #12 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:02:18 PM »

I've been hanging out elsewhere, mostly chat & plants, and I just noticed this thread. So Annette, are you saying we should arrive around 6ish-pm? My wife can't make it because she has a gig that evening but I will be there.

Any particular side dish that I should bring or are we going for the good old pot-luck routine.

Jessica: I can pick you up if you like. I'm located a little northwest of the convention center in Cypress.

Annette: Another member, Sooks, lives in Orange. I'll pm him and MikeW with this link. We can't pm the other Mike, Blindtoo, because that hasn't worked for him ever since he re-registered.

Mikey · « **Reply #13 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:26:08 PM »

I just sent Michael (BlindToo) an e-mail. I sure hope all of us Mike's show up as it will make it a lot easier for Jessica and Sooks (if he can come) to remember names.....

Mikey · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:29:31 PM »

LOL! I just realized I'm still using my jail avatar. Someone needs to convince Jessica I'm really not a jail-bird....

Rad Michelle · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:50:16 PM »

im definetly coming.

jclements · « **Reply #16 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:20:38 AM »

Mikey, if I remember correctly, you are a retired police officer, so no worries!

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:19:26 PM »

Jessica, Mikey will be the one standing outside the entrance holding a big cardboard sign with your name on it!

I like the Mikes. It will be really interesting when I ask Mike to pass the dish. My son is also a "Mike".

You are so welcomed Michelle! PM me for directions.

Jerry · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:43:40 PM »

do we know a time?

I PM'd Michelleand offered to take her along since she is coming from Bakersfield.

sooks · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2009, 12:59:12 PM »

Hey everyone this sounds fun! What should I bring?

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #20 on:** July 12, 2009, 06:41:15 PM »

Great to see more So Cal Ponders, new ones too. Another Mike too?!

Does 6pm on Saturday, July 25 work? It does for me!

I'm going to prepare a BBQ of pork ribs and beef kabobs. Everyone else can bring a side dish or drink to share with all.

(Please don't everyone bring a salad!

)

PM me for directions please!!

Mikey · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:32:09 AM »

bump....

Jerry · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2009, 10:45:50 AM »

With a 6:00 pm time, i can't imagine michelle coming. She will get home at 3:00 AM if she is lucky!

Well she is young, so who knows? :'(

mascot · « **Reply #23 on:** July 20, 2009, 11:03:09 AM »

Jerry...I go to OC to watch my friend's band play...and I got home this past Sunday at 4:20 am....and I'm almost 50!

Annette...I will probably be going...I'll email you.

Jerry · « **Reply #24 on:** July 20, 2009, 01:39:30 PM »

I am sure Michael, but she is a girl alone and driving a long, long way. (150 miles easy, one way)
Id be concerned if I were her Dad. Hey Im concerned as it is.

mascot · « **Reply #25 on:** July 20, 2009, 01:57:35 PM »

oh, well I didn't know it was that far away...didn't look at a map! holy carp!

Jerry · « **Reply #26 on:** July 20, 2009, 02:17:21 PM »

I have dealings in Bakersfield. There a lot. It is 90 miles from my door (Northridge)
Northridge to Lake Forrest has to be 50 to 70 miles.
We won't be home til late, you young whippersnapper you!

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #27 on:** July 20, 2009, 03:16:35 PM »

We'll bake in the heat on Saturday because it's Southern California, dammit!

Thanks Mikey. We have a nice list of SoCal Ponders coming down for an evening of ponderings.

So far we have the pleasure of enjoying this evening with Jerry + 1, Mikey - 1, MikeW, Billy/sooks, Michael/Blind'Too + 1 maybe, and our guest of honor, Jessica/jclements. Did I leave anyone out? If I'm lucky my kids will be around too.

They want to see who Mom dragged home from the internet.

Like I mentioned before I will prepare BBQ ribs and kebobs. Please bring a side dish (something veges would be nice), appetizer, and/ or dessert. I'm not a beer drinker but have plenty of wine. Can't wait to see people I've met before and new ones to learn all about.

Hey, would somebody mind picking me up--I'll be waiting out front with roasted veges.....
