Not sure how I feel about the Beatles in an orchestral format, but for me it’s between that and the Motown option. We’ll be vaccinated long before any of them, so babysitter-willing we’re in!
@rjquillin Nothing wrong with Fleetwood either, I agree. I just know far less of their catalogue.
But like @ScottW58 said below, I only care so much about who’s playing. I just want to get out and see y’all!
Really we are going to care who is playing?! I haven’t done anything in a year. Get out drink some wine eat some food and enjoy the air! Let’s get er done asap. Where is our leader Cory?
So lets do this!
July 10th we will be heading to the Pasadena Pops at the LA Arboretum. Gates open at 5pm for picnicking and the concert generally runs 8-10pm.
The nights theme is Road To Motown. https://pasadenasymphony-pops.org/concert/road-to-motown/
So please let me know who plans on coming. And please copy anyone here who I may have missed.
@CorTot We are looking forward to meeting up, but we are going to hold off buying tickets until closer to the event, given the virus spikes in WA and MI. If we come, we will bring a dessert. @cortot: Do you remember the web site that had the discount tickets?
Perhaps because I am a subscriber, I got this notice regarding COVID protocols from the POPS. The 2 things that jumped out at me were that proof of complete vaccination at least 2 weeks prior to the event will be required to be verified at the gate (that should slow things down) and that lawn seating will be limited. They will contact folks who have already bought tickets (looking at you @ScottW58).
@davirom@rjquillin@ScottW58 I think you can get one of the approved vaccines even if you’ve participated in the clinical trial, although that may be against trial protocol.
You should ask for a card, though, since the vaccine will likely be approved before then and you’ll be clear by whatever metric.
@klezman@rjquillin@ScottW58 According to this article, in trials Norovax has an efficacy rate of over 96% against the original virus and 86% against 2 of the variants. Assuming rjq was in the treatment group (the discussion is trivial otherwise), a card should be available after it gets EUA. The article says Norovax has jumped ahead of AstraZeneca and is next in line for approval.
@davirom@rjquillin@ScottW58 I’m neutral on the cards. I am strongly in favour of heavily encouraging people to get vaccinated, though. Once available for kids, I will strongly endorse it being required for school, for example.
I want this virus gone. Vaccines are the only way.
@davirom@klezman@ScottW58
Well, Novavax did the crossover, and after that issued cards. I’m clearly not anti-vax, but I remain anti-card; but now have one.
Any overnight lawn space available?
#1 no problem I’m a card carrying vaxer #2 only about 12 seats on the lawn were sold when I bought, and if they don’t let me in I will consider it a donation to people who need the money more than I do
Thanks for always tagging us for these things. One day we’ll actually make it. We have been the epitome of the hermit lifestyle during the pandemic. We’re slowly getting used to the idea of being around the peoples. But in this case, we likely will be traveling around the time of the events. We’ll see how it goes. Have fun!!!
@klezman Would truly love to but we are officially and finally going to be out of town. Oooh. Aaah. Scary. Have fun! One of these days we’ll actually meet the kiddos.
Any chance this meet up could also be a swap meet? I have wine for @buffaloroam. @MarkDaSpark, @klezman, and @radiolysis have wine for me. I am willing to meet either before or after the event in the free parking lot at the mall across from the venue. Or, we have a wagon, so we can swap on the Green if people prefer there.
@davirom it works for small amounts to bring in, for larger amounts I’d arrange to meet someone before or after. Bring coolers as it’s usually too hot to leave it in your car.
@ScottW58 I volunteered a dessert upthread and I can do more. If you are serious about tacos (from the other forum), there is a tortillaria in ELA where I can pick up street taco size corn tortillas that will have been made fresh that day. Not sure about how to warm them though. . .
@davirom
Yeah I was thinking about that and cold tacos would probably not the way we want to go so I will cook something else. Myself and the boss will be there.
@losthighwayz@rjquillin@ScottW58 Maybe, maybe not. While it’s still technically an emergency use authorisation I expect it will be hard to enforce vaccination requirements outside of healthcare (and related) settings. But once they are formally approved via the “regular” process I see no reason why they won’t be required in schools the same way literally all other vaccinations are required.
@klezman@ScottW58 a private employer can require proof but a public employer not likely since considered a State actor. I am going based on my law school days 20 years ago though
I’m waiting for confirmation from my friends in Sac who are hopefully coming down that weekend. molarchae is currently thinking she’ll stay on kid duty, but we shall see. So still between 1-4 of us.
I should buy my ticket…
molarchae sonuds like she wants the afternoon and evening to herself, but I don’t know yet about my other friends. @time2testit are you going to be able to come? Or your lovely wife? Or (better yet) both of you?
Finally bought my ticket…missed the promo price on Goldstar, unfortunately. Oh well…the Pasadena Orchestra and Arboretum need the $10 more than I do!
No idea what I’m bringing yet, food or wine.
@klezman Just seeing this now (since I’m awful at monitoring the discussions on here), but it’s unlikely. However, when there is a meet up at your place (or something), there’s a good chance we’ll find a way to make it! Been too long since we’ve seen everyone/anyone!
I looked through the thread and here is the update to whos coming for a head count @ScottW58 +1 -Meat @davirom +1 -Dessert @klezman +1 to 3 -??? @losthighwayz Maybe -??? @buffaloroam unknown no. of people -??? @cortot + 1 -Italian pasta salad
This week i’d hope those with an unknown headcount would confirm number of people to help with the overall head count.
If you are bringing food to share we typically bring a small table and lay it out family style. If you don’t want to bring food and would prefer to buy at the venue they do offer food trucks etc…
Please bring lawn chairs/blanket and an umbrella or hats.
Bring wine for yourself and to share, also bring water & glasses.
Reminder that this event requires proof of vaccination.
We usually get there when the gates open at 5 and try and get a nice spot for the group over by the large tree west of the fountain pool.
Dropped a campesino Isa into the cooler for tonight. Also looking at a Pinot as well to keep it lighter.
Pasta salad is made, bread is baked.
See you all this evening.
Okay for the wine a 12 Rivers Marie Summa pinot because Adam loves them, a 14 Once and Future Zinfandel cause you guys love zin (the things i do for you guys!) and a white that I like. Wagyu brisket has been smoking for 12 hours so getting close. If it sucks I would suggest that you guys pickup a burger on the way in
The City of Arcadia is expecting a very high level of traffic tonight due to the 626 Night Market at Santa Anita Park. They are expecting over 30,000 in attendance in addition to our concert, which is completely SOLD OUT with our largest audience ever.
We ask that you please pack your patience and leave plenty of extra time for your arrival to tonight’s concert.
As a reminder, if you haven’t already purchased parking for tonight’s concert, you must park at Santa Anita Park. Onsite Parking at the Arboretum is SOLD OUT. Read below for directions on parking at Santa Anita, which is new this year.
We are actively coordinating with the City of Arcadia’s Police Department to ensure an efficient and smooth as possible traffic operation for both of tonight’s events, but please plan on arriving early for the best possible concert-going experience.
@CorTot@ScottW58@klezman We were planning to park before 5 pm anyway, so I guess we’ll get there a little earlier than that in case we have to loop around to park at Santa Anita. Not looking forward to hanging out in 90+ degree temps, but looking forward to meeting up.
@CorTot@davirom@ScottW58 I’m also planning on parking at the mall. In all their notices about parking they seem to have studiously avoided mentioning the mall.
I’m hoping to get on the road by 4:30 unless traffic tells me I need to go earlier.
I think I’m going to bring something a bit more out of the box: 2019 Sabelli-Frisch Mission La Malinche
Sounds good, we’ll get there a little earlier.
Last year we took the race track parking option and didn’t love it but if it’s the only option then I guess we’ll make it work.
@ScottW58 Westfield parking works, but you have to take the entrance closer to Huntington. Too me 10 minutes to get around because they’ve closed off the normal routes.
@ScottW58 yes, we are here. Base camp established awaiting reinforcements.
I didn’t see any signs saying not to park at the mall. We parked in the neighborhood just west of the Westfield entrance south of the arboretum.
Good times! Great seeing everyone and later today I will be starting a GoFundMe page for klez so he can buy a lawn chair so he has a place to sit and a travel bag with an ice pack so his wine doesn’t arrive warm shouldn’t be more than $35
@CorTot The wife made the bread. For this first attempt she followed Alton’s recipe. It seems a little lighter textured than I remember yours, so we’ll probably do your mods next time. Still very good, so thanks!
Well, we are back to food salvage and fridge replacement, but last night was a wonderful interlude from the chaos. It was great to see everyone and have a chance to relax. The food was wonderful and yes, we will try to make the bread. Everyone chant: Chair for Klez! Chair for Klez!
Looking forward to the next event!
@klezman@ScottW58@CorTot Yes. SWMBO and I think Fleetwood Mac is too soon so we are looking at Sinatra (danceable) or Broadway because we are show tunes people. Not that interested in the Beatles tribute, but probably willing to take one for the team.
Not sure how I feel about the Beatles in an orchestral format, but for me it’s between that and the Motown option. We’ll be vaccinated long before any of them, so babysitter-willing we’re in!
@klezman Nothing wrong with Fleetwood…
@klezman @rjquillin
That would be my choice, if I lived in the area!
@klezman There is a tribute band, so not strictly orchestral.
@klezman it’s a Beatles tribute band with the orchestra. We’ve done that one before. Not my favorite…
@rjquillin Nothing wrong with Fleetwood either, I agree. I just know far less of their catalogue.
But like @ScottW58 said below, I only care so much about who’s playing. I just want to get out and see y’all!
Really we are going to care who is playing?! I haven’t done anything in a year. Get out drink some wine eat some food and enjoy the air! Let’s get er done asap. Where is our leader Cory?
@ScottW58
Probably listening to some Cole Porter.
@chipgreen @ScottW58 rather be drinking a porter!
@CorTot @ScottW58
Why not do both?
depends on when and if I am still employed or not and of course expectations…
We will be in Temecula for the first two. Motown sounds good if we can wing it.
@hershelk
Well is this going to happen while hershelk is in town or what?!
@hershelk @ScottW58
Let’s do it! July 10th!
I’ll get this organized.
@CorTot @ScottW58 don’t plan around me. I’ll be in Napa now on the 10th. Sorry, it would have been fun.
@CorTot @hershelk
We are in!
I knew I could count on you
Don’t plan around me. I’m going to be in Napa now on the 10th. Sorry it would have been fun.

So please let me know who plans on coming. And please copy anyone here who I may have missed.
@CorTot Going to check with the boss, but I am hoping we can swing it!
@CorTot and for any that dont know or forget we typically buy lawn seats and sometimes there are discounted tickets out there if you look.
@CorTot We are looking forward to meeting up, but we are going to hold off buying tickets until closer to the event, given the virus spikes in WA and MI. If we come, we will bring a dessert. @cortot: Do you remember the web site that had the discount tickets?
@davirom in the past Goldstar has had discounted tickets closer to the event date.
@CorTot
Thanks for including me. Maybe when they bring back the Cole Porter tribute.
Actually, we would love to pull this off one summer but it is not going to be this summer!
@chipgreen @CorTot why not? Come see us! Meet the kids! No major federal elections to run this fall!
Gonna buy my tickets tomorrow! And start planning what meat to cook
Well we are in tickets bought, see some of you, well maybe I hope
Perhaps because I am a subscriber, I got this notice regarding COVID protocols from the POPS. The 2 things that jumped out at me were that proof of complete vaccination at least 2 weeks prior to the event will be required to be verified at the gate (that should slow things down) and that lawn seating will be limited. They will contact folks who have already bought tickets (looking at you @ScottW58).
@davirom Odd that it’s a combination of (a) outdoors (b) requires proof of vaccination, and © wearing masks. But it’ll be what it’ll be and we won’t be deterred!
@davirom just came by to post this.
@davirom @klezman
Well if all you anti-vaxers won’t be there and i’m all alone I will take pictures for you all
@davirom @klezman
Mask wearing can be minimized:
@davirom @klezman @Mark_L
No brained!
@davirom @Mark_L @ScottW58 Yup, no brainer indeed.
Just odd given the recent CDC updates on mask wearing outdoors.
@davirom @klezman @ScottW58
vaxed up, novavax clinical trial, but that doesn’t buy me a card, so, have fun those that attend.
I see this card-carrying may just become an issue.
Personally, not buying into it and those that require it can just pound sand.
@davirom @rjquillin @ScottW58 I think you can get one of the approved vaccines even if you’ve participated in the clinical trial, although that may be against trial protocol.
You should ask for a card, though, since the vaccine will likely be approved before then and you’ll be clear by whatever metric.

Assuming rjq was in the treatment group (the discussion is trivial otherwise), a card should be available after it gets EUA. The article says Norovax has jumped ahead of AstraZeneca and is next in line for approval.
@klezman @rjquillin @ScottW58 Also this article where a Moderna trial participant got a card after the study was “unblinded”. Still hope to see you!
@davirom @klezman @ScottW58
Yeah, in the process of crossover vax now. Hopefully something will happen.
I’m still opposed to vax cards however.
@davirom @klezman @ScottW58
Nova or nora? I’m in the Nova.
@klezman @rjquillin @ScottW58 No such thing as “Noravax”. Nova.
@davirom @rjquillin @ScottW58 I’m neutral on the cards. I am strongly in favour of heavily encouraging people to get vaccinated, though. Once available for kids, I will strongly endorse it being required for school, for example.
I want this virus gone. Vaccines are the only way.
@davirom @klezman @rjquillin
Yup! I get a flu shot every year no problem having 2 shot’s every year. Imo
@davirom @klezman @ScottW58
Well, Novavax did the crossover, and after that issued cards. I’m clearly not anti-vax, but I remain anti-card; but now have one.
Any overnight lawn space available?
#1 no problem I’m a card carrying vaxer
#2 only about 12 seats on the lawn were sold when I bought, and if they don’t let me in I will consider it a donation to people who need the money more than I do 
@ScottW58 I only mentioned you because you are the only one who posted that you have your tickets.
@davirom
No worries looking forward to it!
We’re in! Eyeballing the seating inventory when I bought the tix, it looks like about 15% are sold.
Tickets purchased.
@CorTot
Nice! It will be good to see you, well your lovely wife anyways
@ScottW58 that’s typical, everyone’s happy to see my wife.
@CorTot
And this surprises you?!?
@ScottW58 I handle business she handles the social.
This is a great idea for a meet up. I will join if I am in town.
Thanks for always tagging us for these things. One day we’ll actually make it. We have been the epitome of the hermit lifestyle during the pandemic. We’re slowly getting used to the idea of being around the peoples. But in this case, we likely will be traveling around the time of the events. We’ll see how it goes. Have fun!!!
@javadrinker so? You guys going to be able to come? Tickets are still on sale last I checked. Even on the discount site.
@klezman Would truly love to but we are officially and finally going to be out of town. Oooh. Aaah. Scary. Have fun! One of these days we’ll actually meet the kiddos.
We are a month out so im bumping this to see how much interest there is.
@CorTot I’m interested, but trying to deal with logistics…
@radiolysis you can always camp some where in the arboretum with RJ!
@CorTot as appealing as that sounds…
@CorTot @radiolysis
What? They actually allow that?!
@radiolysis @rjquillin only if your willing to play hide & seek with park security.
I’ll be there too! @ScottW58 can’t wait to see you and hopefully Andrea too!
@SWMBOTott
@SWMBOTott between 1 and 3 of us will be there. Supposed to have a friend who lives in Sac coming.
@klezman @SWMBOTott excellent!
Any chance this meet up could also be a swap meet? I have wine for @buffaloroam. @MarkDaSpark, @klezman, and @radiolysis have wine for me. I am willing to meet either before or after the event in the free parking lot at the mall across from the venue. Or, we have a wagon, so we can swap on the Green if people prefer there.
@davirom it works for small amounts to bring in, for larger amounts I’d arrange to meet someone before or after. Bring coolers as it’s usually too hot to leave it in your car.
Yes I plan to be there.
@buffaloroam nice!
Goldstar has $15 lawn tickets
@losthighwayz thanks for the heads up!
I have my tickets! What’s everybody cookin? I’m doing meat/s
@ScottW58 I volunteered a dessert upthread and I can do more. If you are serious about tacos (from the other forum), there is a tortillaria in ELA where I can pick up street taco size corn tortillas that will have been made fresh that day. Not sure about how to warm them though. . .
A head count would be nice.
@davirom
Yeah I was thinking about that and cold tacos would probably not the way we want to go so I will cook something else. Myself and the boss will be there.
@ScottW58 still need to sort out who is coming… But the plan is that at least one of us will!
Proof of vaccination needed to attend. I’m not anti vax but scared of needles
Bummer
@losthighwayz seriously? Man up
@klezman @losthighwayz
Lol I have heard a lot of excuses but this is a first
@klezman @ScottW58 Trypanophobia. Just sayin’
@losthighwayz @ScottW58 You’re also going to have to get vaccinated to keep your job, I’d think…
@klezman @losthighwayz
Nope they can’t make the anti vaxers do anything or they will have a lawsuit.
@klezman @losthighwayz @ScottW58
slippery here…
Should be interesting to see how the Houston hospital workers dust-up plays out.
@losthighwayz @rjquillin @ScottW58 Maybe, maybe not. While it’s still technically an emergency use authorisation I expect it will be hard to enforce vaccination requirements outside of healthcare (and related) settings. But once they are formally approved via the “regular” process I see no reason why they won’t be required in schools the same way literally all other vaccinations are required.
@klezman @losthighwayz @rjquillin @ScottW58 Here is Background to Klez’ point
@klezman @losthighwayz @rjquillin @ScottW58 This is approaching a thread hijack. Can we talk about who will come and what they will bring?
@klezman @ScottW58 a private employer can require proof but a public employer not likely since considered a State actor. I am going based on my law school days 20 years ago though
@klezman @rjquillin @ScottW58 for students maybe but employees not likely
We may make an appearance after all…
@losthighwayz
I thought you are scared of needles!
@ScottW58 heck yes I am! However, the opportunity to see you outweighed my phobia of needles so I took the plunge earlier today
@losthighwayz
@losthighwayz @ScottW58 Nicely done! Hope you were able to find the single-dose J&J at least.
I’m waiting for confirmation from my friends in Sac who are hopefully coming down that weekend. molarchae is currently thinking she’ll stay on kid duty, but we shall see. So still between 1-4 of us.
9 days people, not that I’m counting
I should buy my ticket…
molarchae sonuds like she wants the afternoon and evening to herself, but I don’t know yet about my other friends.
@time2testit are you going to be able to come? Or your lovely wife? Or (better yet) both of you?
Finally bought my ticket…missed the promo price on Goldstar, unfortunately. Oh well…the Pasadena Orchestra and Arboretum need the $10 more than I do!

I looked through the thread and here is the update to whos coming for a head count
@ScottW58 +1 -Meat
@davirom +1 -Dessert
@klezman +1 to 3 -???
@losthighwayz Maybe -???
@buffaloroam unknown no. of people -???
@cortot + 1 -Italian pasta salad
This week i’d hope those with an unknown headcount would confirm number of people to help with the overall head count.
If you are bringing food to share we typically bring a small table and lay it out family style. If you don’t want to bring food and would prefer to buy at the venue they do offer food trucks etc…
Please bring lawn chairs/blanket and an umbrella or hats.
Bring wine for yourself and to share, also bring water & glasses.
Reminder that this event requires proof of vaccination.
We usually get there when the gates open at 5 and try and get a nice spot for the group over by the large tree west of the fountain pool.
@CorTot Confirming, 2 people. Thank you for taking the lead
@davirom
@CorTot @davirom
Confirm 2 + meat + a few bottles of wine. Should arrive at 5:30 or 6
@CorTot won’t make it. Second vaccine scheduled for next week. I did not realize there would be a 3 week gap between doses! Bummer
Pinging a few people we didn’t hear from. You guys should come! This will be fun!
@radiolysis
@funnywontons
@i8dacat
@rjquillin
@time2testit. (we can carpool maybe …)
@klezman (see note above that I just posted) Thanks!
@klezman still trying to figure it out. Haven’t lost track tho, but I’ll be a really last minute decision.
Okay so it looks like 7 of us, anyone want me to make a watermelon salad cause it will probably be hot?
@ScottW58 i’d eat it.
@CorTot
Done
@ScottW58 Ill add a fresh loaf of sourdough and some cheeses as well.
@CorTot
I’ll eat that
@ScottW58 We will bring some assorted veggies and dip along with the desserts (2 kinds of home-baked cookies)
Well even if all the wine is corked we will be eating well!
Was thinking of bringing some salami and cheese, but sounds like that might be repetitive. We’ll see!
@klezman we have cheese covered, you can add salami. Could use crackers as well.
FYI - gates open at 5:30.
Dropped a campesino Isa into the cooler for tonight. Also looking at a Pinot as well to keep it lighter.
Pasta salad is made, bread is baked.
See you all this evening.
@CorTot at least one of us has our shit together!
@CorTot going with an ‘18 panther creek Pinot carter vineyard
Okay for the wine a 12 Rivers Marie Summa pinot because Adam loves them, a 14 Once and Future Zinfandel cause you guys love zin (the things i do for you guys!) and a white that I like. Wagyu brisket has been smoking for 12 hours so getting close. If it sucks I would suggest that you guys pickup a burger on the way in
Sounds delicious! Hope you all have a great time!
For variety, we will bring a 2015 Argyle “Black Brut” 100% Pinot Noir sparkler and a 2018 Stereophonic Gruner Veltliner (from BD)
The City of Arcadia is expecting a very high level of traffic tonight due to the 626 Night Market at Santa Anita Park. They are expecting over 30,000 in attendance in addition to our concert, which is completely SOLD OUT with our largest audience ever.
We ask that you please pack your patience and leave plenty of extra time for your arrival to tonight’s concert.
As a reminder, if you haven’t already purchased parking for tonight’s concert, you must park at Santa Anita Park. Onsite Parking at the Arboretum is SOLD OUT. Read below for directions on parking at Santa Anita, which is new this year.
We are actively coordinating with the City of Arcadia’s Police Department to ensure an efficient and smooth as possible traffic operation for both of tonight’s events, but please plan on arriving early for the best possible concert-going experience.
@CorTot
Ugh
@CorTot We have always parked at Westfield Mall and intend(ed) to do so again tonight. Does this notice imply that we will be turned away?
@CorTot @davirom
It looks like they are trying to stear us away from there?
@CorTot @ScottW58 @klezman We were planning to park before 5 pm anyway, so I guess we’ll get there a little earlier than that in case we have to loop around to park at Santa Anita. Not looking forward to hanging out in 90+ degree temps, but looking forward to meeting up.
@CorTot @davirom @ScottW58 I’m also planning on parking at the mall. In all their notices about parking they seem to have studiously avoided mentioning the mall.
I’m hoping to get on the road by 4:30 unless traffic tells me I need to go earlier.
I think I’m going to bring something a bit more out of the box: 2019 Sabelli-Frisch Mission La Malinche
Yeah we are leaving at 5:30 so I am hoping to be in by 6:30? and dumping the zin and bringing another white.
Sounds good, we’ll get there a little earlier.
Last year we took the race track parking option and didn’t love it but if it’s the only option then I guess we’ll make it work.
Well that was the best 14 hours I have spent in a long time
@ScottW58
@ScottW58 Looking forward to eating that!
Oh and save me a couple of spaces for when we get there!
@ScottW58 You, your SO and the brisket? In no particular order?
Anyone there yet? Westfield parking available?
@ScottW58 Westfield parking works, but you have to take the entrance closer to Huntington. Too me 10 minutes to get around because they’ve closed off the normal routes.
@ScottW58 yes, we are here. Base camp established awaiting reinforcements.
I didn’t see any signs saying not to park at the mall. We parked in the neighborhood just west of the Westfield entrance south of the arboretum.
Good times! Great seeing everyone and later today I will be starting a GoFundMe page for klez so he can buy a lawn chair so he has a place to sit and a travel bag with an ice pack so his wine doesn’t arrive warm
shouldn’t be more than $35
@ScottW58 agreed on all accounts.
I’ll definitely chip in for a chair for Klez.
Anyone who wants to replicate the bread.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/knead-not-sourdough-recipe-1939606.amp
I alter it to go 75/25 bread flour to white flour and I use Morton’s coarse kosher salt.
I’d try it from the original recipe first to see what you think. It’s really easy!
@CorTot The wife made the bread. For this first attempt she followed Alton’s recipe. It seems a little lighter textured than I remember yours, so we’ll probably do your mods next time. Still very good, so thanks!
@davirom looks good to me!
Well, we are back to food salvage and fridge replacement, but last night was a wonderful interlude from the chaos. It was great to see everyone and have a chance to relax. The food was wonderful and yes, we will try to make the bread. Everyone chant: Chair for Klez! Chair for Klez!
Looking forward to the next event!
Anybody else get the email about a discount and such for the (apparent) parking fiasco last Saturday? Who wants to go again this summer?
@klezman
Yes and yes I will go again! Good thing we didn’t pay any attention to what they wanted us to do
@klezman @ScottW58 @CorTot Yes. SWMBO and I think Fleetwood Mac is too soon so we are looking at Sinatra (danceable) or Broadway because we are show tunes people. Not that interested in the Beatles tribute, but probably willing to take one for the team.
@klezman heck yes.
@CorTot @davirom @klezman
tri-tip I guess.
Well throw the date out here so I can start planning what to cook
@CorTot @davirom @ScottW58 August 28 and September 11 are the best for me. Hoping to be out of town for the other August one.
@CorTot @klezman @ScottW58 @radiolysis We vote September 11.
@CorTot @davirom @klezman @ScottW58 Sept 11 looks empty on my calendar so far… That’s a good sign.
Should we start a new thread so folks who didn’t come last time realize we are talking about a new event?
@davirom please do!
We are unsure if we can do another. But if we can the 11th would be the preference.
