So.Cal. BBQ Meet for Cinco De Mayo

I was thinking about a Rose Bowl BBQ party with a D.J. later in the afternoon, or a long overdue party at my house?

Feedback?

Psshhh!

I am back in the living and ready to have a meet to remember.



I am planning far in advance this time to do it right with vendors. Should we do it at the Rose Bowl or T.J.'s again? It would be cool to have live music!

Any ideas?

It's been a while since I last attended a meet (May 07?) - that was at the Rose Bowl!

So Angela, you're planning a meet for next year May?

T.J`s is just the right size for a meet. Plus you get some of the SD people to come up. This has nothing to do with the fact I live a couple blocks away. Absolutly nothing. NOT.

Hey whatz up?

If we have it at T.J.'s we can have it sooner. I need about 4 months notice to give some of the big vendors some planning time. It was really cool to have Renntech show up last time! I wonder if the big K will come this time?

T.J.'s sounds like the place to have it. We can have it sooner since I don't need permits or insurance. I was thinking the first week of March? I will call them tomorrow and get a date. Live music or a D.J. outside sounds good!

Topless n sb has offered to help me plan this. Any others?

What happened to Carlos while I was gone?

It's nice to be back. =)

I have been thinking of you latley. Been meaning to call, but you know how we all get side tracked with life. slap: I heard from a birdy that you ran your car at Willow.

Tell Leon that my poor baby already has rock chips. =( I guess that is what you get when you drive it like you stole it.

I would love you to help. I am going to try and get us the first Saturday of March. I Need to check out the weather report and find us a good date.

He was talking about you the other day as well. We were wondering if you guys were effected by the fires? It's been too long girl!!!! I'm excited you are going to get involved.
Tell Leon Hi.

How do you think we got to know each other at the begining? Same as where you started. Since you posted here technically you are not a stranger per say. Yes you are welcome.
