Hey! All You SF Bay Area LJers…

I'm coming over. You've been warned.

I'll be staying at [livejournal.com profile] sftombear and [livejournal.com profile] mh58's place in Pleasant Hill from the 18th through the 25th (Nov).

If any SF Bay people are interested in sharing a meal/drinks/whatever, I'm all for it. Just let me know, by replying below.

Also, NYC folks, if you want anything from the left coast, let me know, and I'll try and make it happen (although it must fit in carry-on, as I don't check my baggage).

I'll have my camera, laptop, phone, and other fun things to make this trip memorable.

November or December? November, right.

Meet you at the Edge/Daddy's/Lone Star/Eagle for a cocktail?

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
All of the above? ;-)

And yes, November.

I'd love a packet of sourdough starter, though I'm not sure where you could find it.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, I can get that. No problem.

Good luck...

[identity profile] notdefined.livejournal.com 2005-11-15 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
The bakeries are notoriously possessive with their starter.

Ah the poor virgin boys of SF - they don't know what they are in for!

[identity profile] ricksf.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Would love to meet you when you're here. I'm sure we can waste some time talking things automotive.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
fantastic!

If I get enough interest, I may try and create a gathering… perhaps Angel Island for a picnic.

[identity profile] ricksf.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Angel Island is one option, the easier one might be Dolores Park.

[identity profile] orange-groves.livejournal.com 2005-11-14 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Better be warned - [livejournal.com profile] ricksf knows MUCH about automobiles.

*alerts the SF area Civil Defence to your incoming arrival*

[identity profile] thikstache.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...the men of San Diego request you make a necessary side trip down here.

It will be well WORTH your time!

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I would love to, but I don't think I can. I am only going for a week, and I know I'll at least hit Santa Clara to visit my friends Mats and Richard.

Of course, if you were to arrive in SF…

[identity profile] piratechan.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I would be interested in seeing you! No idea on the how or when or where, but we can hash that out later.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a plan. You've got my phone number.

[identity profile] piratechan.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, it's trapped inside my non functioning cell phone right now. Hopefully the replacement cell phone will arrive with plenty of time to get it back ^_^

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
well, it should also be in my user-info. For some reason, you weren't on my flist. That has been changed.

Sex toys

[identity profile] poodler.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You take your sex toys in carry on? (LOL)

Re: Sex toys

[identity profile] mh58.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Now I have wonder how large a carry-on you will have.

Re: Sex toys

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Everything I am going to take will fit in a small green dufflebag, and a backpack. It's only a week, but I like having two bags, so I can pack some things for day-trips.

[identity profile] f8n-begorra.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
If you have time to get to Napa, we could do some wine tasting. On Monday afternoon 11/21 I'll be doing a serious wine tasting with an industry pro, to pick up wines for Thanksgiving. If you're interested and available, I'll ask to include you.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm actually an oneophobe*, but I'd still like to see you.

Oh, and are you still planning on an east coast excursion?



*OK, so I don't actually have a fear of wine. It's just that my body rejects it like a bad organ. All wines. It doesn't happen with beer, scotch, vodka, etc., just wine.

[identity profile] f8n-begorra.livejournal.com 2005-11-12 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
A physical, as opposed to a cultural oenophobe; a rare breed for sure!

My email: eamonoc (at) yah00. I'd enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with you. Perhaps Sunday AM hike or brunch?

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-12 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds lovely, although I am not sure how I'd get up there, as I won't have a car of my own (I don't believe in hiring cars while in cities with good public transit... SF's is "good enough, although awkward").

I'll flip you an email in a bit, just so you can have mine.

[identity profile] rootbeer1.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
With my broken leg, I'm not getting out much, but maybe you could stop by our place to say hello?

We're right above the Castro, on Twin Peaks ... OK, technically, Diamond Heights.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I know exactly where that is!

And yes, I will be very happy to visit, even in your damaged condition. Although I do request that you don't pass out. It's always a bummer when the EMTs have to arrive.

[identity profile] beg1n.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Hope to cross paths with you handsome.

You might want to check out MegaWoof which is the Sunday of your visit I believe.

[identity profile] fuzzygruf.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll definitely see you for Thanksgiving dinner (pending a promised evite), but if you wanna do lunch or coffee during the day in SF, [livejournal.com profile] double_ohsteven and I should be around during the week.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-10 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
W00t! (as the kids say)

Yeah, as it stands, everything is up in the air. The Santa Clara trip may be an overnighter, or it may be a day trip, depending on scheduling. Other than that, and T-day, it's kinda up in the air. (although obviously I would like to spend time with my hosts)

[identity profile] mh58.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
As soon as Tommy figures out how to use Evite - lol!

[identity profile] sunsmogseahorse.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Wish I could be there, mister.

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you could be. Flights are cheap.

Re: Sex toys

[identity profile] sunsmogseahorse.livejournal.com 2005-11-11 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Annoyingly I was going to be there that weekend but had to change my plans due to a project that really needed attention. Not quite a shitstorm but more along the lines of a brief shower. Damn, now I'm really pissed about that coming along.

Re: Sex toys

[identity profile] theoctothorpe.livejournal.com 2005-11-12 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Relax, babe. It's all good. There will be other times.

Re: Sex toys

[identity profile] sunsmogseahorse.livejournal.com 2005-11-12 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to comfort me when we reconvene.

Daddy will take good care of you.

Don't worry your pretty little head about it.

As a wise man said to me this morning.....

[identity profile] notdefined.livejournal.com 2005-11-15 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Three more days...
