ActiveRain Birthday Bash - June 9 - Los Angeles, California

All right, let's start getting this thing planned!

ar gathering logo I was thrilled that Lydia asked me to lead this event and am looking forward to making sure it's something everyone wants to attend. So, I want to get all of you in the Los Angeles area to participate in the discussion. We don't have a great deal of time to get this thing planned and in everyone's calendars. So, let's deal with first things first.

What kind of event would you like it to be?

A Family Gathering: An afternoon family gathering at a park or the beach. BBQ
Adult Gathering: An evening gathering for adults only at a destination. Hors D Oeuvres, Drinks
Some other suggestion...

Please, only those who plan on attending the Los Angeles Gathering on June 9, 2007 should vote. I will take down this poll tomorrow and we'll begin making plans.

Jeff: Care to organize on in San Diego as well?

{SVW Hubba} aka "Tool Boy"...Sniff...Sniff...

I can't be at yours and you can't be at ours. How sad. But, you and The Rock will be seeing me :) Wink. Wink.

TO ALL...For anyone that comes across this post there is another AR Gathering in Orlando Florida on June 23rd. If you are interested R.S.V.P. on the following post...

"Active Rain Is Coming To Florida...Are You? RSVP Required"

TLW...ROAR!

When you say Los Angeles, what area do you have in mind? And do you know who has voted?

Roberta... it's all I can do to get myself up for doing this one! :)

Mana... I was thinking the Southern Portion of Los Angeles County or North Orange County, that way those from San Diego might be willing to drive up. That's not a truly convenient drive for me, but it's not all about me. And, no, I can't tell who has voted. I have the poll set to allow only one vote per user, however. It places a cookie in the browser.

Hey J.T~ Can Certified Real Estate Shows Virtual Assistants come down from Nor Cal...? It's tempting...

Anyone who can read this post can come... especially Certified Real Estate Shows Virtual Assistants from Nor Cal!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your efforts in planning this event. Either time would work for me, and just about the same for location. Anywhere not too far off a freeway would be good. Thanks again!

Wow, pros and cons to each option..........when will you post the results?

Ana... I'm going to post the results tomorrow and begin deciding the specifics of where and what time.

Oh, this is going to be fun!

I'm not sure how my vote got counted - I clicked on "view the poll", then tried to vote on "other" but it said my vote had already been counted. I think a late afternoon (4:00 ish) would be good, then if everyone is having a good time, it can keep going.

But, I will probably come to either!

Sounds like a great time! I wish I was in the area. Please keep the Seattle market in mind for future!

PS. I like the little cartoon guy of yourself.

Take care!

Hope to see you all in Seattle soon!

Gabe Avalos

Laurie... yes it is! :)

Vicki... thank you!

Gabriel... we wish you were in the area as well. I just did a post about that little guy.

Jeff, sounds good. Thanks for putting this together. I voted for the evening. Where is Martin? Does he not read your posts anymore? Throw an egg at his house for me.

Afternoon BBQ sounds great

Would be better in Minnesota

Gabriel... there is going to be a Seattle event:

John... I just egged his house. I'm blaming you.

Teresa... where is Minnesota?

That's my birthday. I was planning on flying the kids here from there that day so I could spend my birthday with my grand daughter. But if that doesn't work out...

Ardell... it would be GREAT to finally meet.

Would be even better in New Hampshire! Sounds like fun wherever it is!

Ann... I have only been to NH once, in the peak fall season. Rocky and I drove through on the way to Vermont from Maine. It's the only time I've seen a bear in the wild. A cub. I can still vividly remember him crossing the road in front of us and thinking... wow, that's a big dog. :) I'd love to get back some day.

All... I'm going to leave the poll open until mid morning. Then move on whatever the total is at that time.

In case you can not make this party... Join us in Chicago.

Here are the CHICAGO PARTY details... as I know them.

Thanks, Craig! Now, all you LA folks... vote.

I'm up for doing what the majority votes. Evening Gathering sounds great to me though. Keep me posted! ;)

Hi Jeff,

My hubby Mel and I will be there (wherever and whenever there is) with bells on. I voted for the evening thing, but whatever works for everyone is fine with me. If it winds up being a bbq, I will happily offer up a dessert. I can hardly wait till 6/9.

I will happily offer up Claremont as a meeting destination, just outside of L.A., (about 45 minutes by freeway) just off the freeway from S.D. (about 1 1/2 hrs or so), right close to Ontario Airport (10 mins.), great restaurants, lovely parks, teriffic hotels, you name it.

Also, let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help. I also have a balloon decor/party company so if the event warrants it, and if the location allows it, I would be happy to offer up my services for some festive decor, and should kids be involved, I have connections in the moon bounce world and a friend that brings amazing margaritas and the machine as well. Just let me know.

And thank you for helming this task, this should be a blast!

Take care, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!

Tisza

My vote's in. Thanks for putting this together it's going to be a blast.

OK ALL! It appears the vote is in and we're going to do an evening gathering. I am awaiting the budget from Lydia and I'll begin the quest for a location shortly. Tisza, I may take you up on your offer to assist. Anyone else willing to take on a few smaller tasks, just let me know.
