(retitled): San Jose C & F Party - March 24

DCrom · Post by **DCrom** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 1:30 pm

<EDIT>

Currently, it looks like everyone is OK the dates below, and I've made an executive decision - March 24, unless serious conflicts crop up. Hope to see you then!

March 24 - Party date

March 31 - 1st alternate date

<END EDIT>

Looks like that time of year again -

What's the interest in another San Jose C & F party? Once again, the available dates are Saturdays ranging from late January to early April, with the noted exceptions:

Jan 27
Feb 3
Feb 10

Feb 17 - Not Available
Feb 24 - Not Available

March 3
March 10

March 17 - We're willing, but probably a conflict for most folks!

March 24
March 31
April 7

Let's try to find a date that works for the most people - replies on this thread or email are best since my C & F message box overflowed the last two times

For those who haven't been here before, we're in southern San Jose, a couple of miles south from Highway 85 (near the intersection of Almaden Expressway and Camden). These are usually casual potluck affairs with people arriving anytime in the afternoon or evening - bring a dish if you can, but the important thing is to bring yourself and have a good time.

Once we firm up a date, please email me for directions if you don't know the way.

Looking forward to seeing (or meeting) you -
Dana C.

No good for Jan 27 but two early Feb dates fine for me.

Free in March but yeah, I wouldn't do a 3/17...

I could do the early Feb. dates as well, and am pretty much open other than Feb. 18 (which is my daughter's birthday...much as she enjoys these gatherings, I'm fairly certain she's going to want to spend her 14th birthday doing something more "teenagerish").

I vote for one of the later dates. Maybe this kid will have settled down a bit by then and I'll feel more inclined to do things other than sleep.

I was just scanning over some messages I missed during the Christmas holidays and saw your announcement.

A belated congratulations to you and yours. Ah, the days when they are new..... precious time it is.

Looking forward to meeting Eoghan, if he's (and you) are up for coming. Noted that the later February or March dates work for you.

<Edit> I just posted a link to this thread in all the instrument-based forums - I've asked people to join this thread for their replies.

Any Saturday works for me. My turn to drive, so Weeks will have to deal with whatever you dish out.

We'll put the brewers, vintners, and distillers on overtime

Have to get you in the mood for your traditional rendition of "All for my grog", after all.

I know, he gets to drink and I have to be sober on the way home. (Unlike last time.)

Tony, Tony, Tony

The solution is simple: come early, hoist a few early, then taper off onto tea, or coffee, or juice, or Red Bull an hour or two before you need to get on the road.

Or just plan on crashing at our place for the night, if need be. Half a smiley at most on the last - I'd rather friends stay the night than have any of you on the road when you don't feel up to it.

(Fear not, prospective first-time guests, even if you have kids - despite all the talk, I've never seen anyone get beyond "merry" at these parties. Something about being too busy playing, or talking, or listening to drink much, I suspect. But we talk a good game.

Funny thing:

I'm coming to San Jose for a conference from the 28th (Sun) to the 31st (flying out on Wed evening.) I'll actually be flying in to San Fran on the 27th.

Will anyone be nearby for a few tunes?

I'm with Justine on the later dates. Between my best friend's engagement party and school, I'm gonna be crammed. But whatever everyone decides on, I'll do my best to come. Thanks again Dana for hosting this. And Audrey, I owe you for the lifts you've given me in the past.
