Anyone planning to meet up in the near future?

I'll be about in mid-Feb onwards

Hey Ozzidoc, I'm in San Diego - been here for around 6 months. I don't know of any meet ups planned in the near future but always happy to meet new folk. I don't come on here all that often these days though so apologies if I take a while to reply. What area will you be living when you get to San Diego?

Ozzidoc

I've been in San Diego since 2003 - intermittently until 2009 when we became permanent residents. I've been commuting to the UK for a little work for the last couple of years.

We've been in Bay Ho for four years, Carmel Valley before that.

Where are you? Feel free to send me a PM.

Holliver

I live in SD too .

I already know Leah and would also be happy to meet up when you get back. Where will you be living in Feb? Permanent move?

Ozzidoc

I already live in Bay Ho Sounds good.

Me tooooo!!

Holliver

Oh, I didn't realised Bay Ho was a place in SD. Never heard of it before. Just googled it. Just let us know when you are back and we can arrange a time to meet up.

I ran into Leah at the airport before Christmas, agreed we should have another meetup, and promptly forgot about it again. Sorry.

Doesn't take much - pick a date, then a location, post it here and see who turns up. What's "mid-February" - how about Saturday/Sunday February 22nd or 23rd?

Gillymonkey

I am in too

Holliver

That'd probably be fine for me.

Gillymonkey

My only request is we don't go to the place we met at last time, I didn't like it.

FinnDiego

Yeah, I didn't think Tiger!Tiger! was very popular with the group although usually they don't have children's birthday parties on the back patio.

Ideas? I'm thinking somewhere where you can have a drink or two but don't have to, can get food of some description, and where people can come and go at different times, or just stay for a few hours. I think I just described a pub.

Slightly tempted by Young Hickory (coffee house in North Park with beer), but it tends to be full of Macbooks and students on weekend afternoons. A noisy group taking over several tables for hours might not be popular...

Cool Saturday 22nd works for me

I'm flexible on the location and venue.....but not Shakeys please

Ozzidoc

You already live in Bay Ho too???

FinnDiego

Right, let's plan for February 22nd so that this doesn't get forgotten again. I'm thinking afternoon, 3ish? 4ish?

Venues, here are a few thoughts:

• Station Tavern in South Park. Pub - beer, burgers etc, less hipstery than Tiger!Tiger! but quite family friendly
• Stone Brewing Liberty Station? Great outdoor space and bocce ball (!), but pretty limiting for those who don't want to drink beer. Food's pretty good but expensive.
• Somewhere in OB - Tower Two maybe?
• Shakespeare's. Not a fan of the food but pretty good space and variety.

Thoughts?
