West Coast Ledgies Unite!!!

[Neal]

At SapphireSister's suggestion, we're polling fellow west coast ledgies for a suggested location for a proposed Stevie-themed event. Others should feel free to vote as well, only if they would be attending!

[SapphireSister]

Also, if anybody has any ideas on themes, location, etc. let me know. Let's do some brainstorming.

Maybe Stevie can host it at her place

Hi Terry!
I grew up in Redondo and Hermosa. My mom still lives off Prospect.

Um, yeah so... that's exciting, huh?
just thought I would say

I guess I miss my beach.

Here's a picture taken from my living room. I love living at the beach and would miss it too! I'm not far from Prospect on Avenue A just up the hill from PCH.

Sigh. Thanks for that view.
Santa Cruz has beautiful beaches, but they aren't the same. Your View is looking ove to Riviera Village, where I lived, just off the Esplanade, until I was 11. It sure has spiffed up since I was a kid in the 70's, it was a little shabbier and funkier then. Every time I visit my mom, I think it is starting to look like Santa Barbara. (hey, that would be a nice place for a gathering)

Well, it's not so bad, I've got redwoods out my back window. Now I am a "lady from the mountain", or "lady from the fountain" as my toddler likes to call it.

We have a plan for those of you in Los Angeles. See "Hey L.A.! Waddy Wachtel and Friends..." thread. We're going to meet at The Joint Monday November 7th. PM me if you need directions, etc.

Themes: if it's in 2006, we could celebrate 25 year anniversary of Bella Donna, or we can do it to celebrate her birthday if we wait until May, or we can do something in her honor like make it a fundraiser for AHI or for the soldiers at Walter Reed.

umm...how about Vegas?

I'm sure you could rent out a room in a hotel....maybe ....and there's lots to do there.

Would you be willing to go to Vegas? Or any other CA people? I would probably do that.

Ooh, that's another idea! Would you (or any other east coasters) be willing to come if it was in Vegas?

Personally, I'd rather not have it in that scorpion-infested wasteland.

I live in Los Angeles, but I'd travel up to the Bay Area because it's so much prettier & cooler. When you're meeting fellow ledgies, you get nervous & you sweat. So the air temperature should be below 70, with plenty of cleansing, cool breeze, preferably with a hint of sea brine.

We could have an excellent ledgie picnic at Golden Gate Park, & then trip in to see the planetarium show & the dinosaurs. Then over to the Cliff House for crab cocktail & vodka tonics. Then a nice long walk through the park grounds.

We'd probably have to have separate ones.

Maybe we can do 2?

I'd go to L.A. if the southerners came to ours...

Hmmm... I don't think anyone will come up HERE... so I'll say San Francisco.
