Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Beginning of June. I think. I'd need to check that, though.
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
I'll be in SoCal this summer. When are you guys thinking about? I'll be near San Diego though. Most of you guys are near LA right?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Either works for me; but there was someone else who was considering coming out here in June, and it might be nice to coordinate.
Yoo-hoo!
[Edit] Nick, we're pretty spread out. But yeah, I think more are near L.A. than San Diego.

Who else?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Not sure if I'm supposed to tell.
*goes off to send an email*

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
We're busy the weekend of the 11th and also the weekend of the 26th. The rest of the month is free. So, yeah, beginning of the month is good.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Me, Mack! And that would be awesome if you and I were there at the same time! rivka is pushing me to pick a date. I was thinking late June myself.
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
I was hoping to plan a get-together for June 19th, but earlier in the month is okay too.
I'm out of town from 6/26 to 7/6.
*wants to see mac*
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Can we shoot for the beginning of june then?
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
Come to socal now and stay at the Grand Hotel Sandy.
Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
I am going to be there come hell or high water .
I better be, or Niki would not be pleased I think . Of course I also had a blast in the last Shinda, so there is that to consider.
Would be cool having not one, but two out of towners come in for it.
Now we just need to pressure Niki into having a specific date (she's been planning this with LadyDove and rivka for months now).
The weekend of the 12th Niki has to be in Nebraska, for her Race for the Cure thing. Anything beyond that we need to ask her .
Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
you guys actually know each other in real life? HOw often do you reunionize? Is reunionize a word?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
It is now.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Xavier and I just met last week. He flew out from San Diego to Omaha to see me. Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :
Actually Omaha is such an exciting city (in an amazingly interesting state) that I have always wanted to visit it. Niki just gave me an excuse to go there, and a place to stay.
Don't tell her though.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
That was sarcasm, wasn't it? Are you saying Omaha isn't just like NYC?
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
If we Shinda at my place, the slide will be running.
Sounds like June 5, 11, 12, 13, 26 and 27 are tough dates for some. Mack- can you make it the weekend of the 19th?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
SLIDE!!!
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Remember that Friday nights and Saturdays are pretty much out for Rivka, too.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
I would be staying with rivka friday night until Saturday for Shabbat. But a Friday day thing or on Sunday would be great.
Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :
Omaha is fun. Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
When are you coming home, Sarah? We should go out and get a drink or something.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*frown* Y'all were supposed to decide on a date while I was offline for Shabbos. Tsk!
How's Sunday, June 20th?
Posted by Lara (Member # 132) on :
I would love to meet you guys, and I'm actually going to be in California that weekend. Where are you meeting?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Um, have we decided for sure on that date? mack? Val?
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
I've love to meet some of you folks. I'm at a retreat at lake arrowhead from the 5th-12th (if memory serves) and I've got a talk on the 17th (preparing that week).

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Don't think I can do that weekend...
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Now that I really think about it, end of the first week is really what works best...
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
mack, would that mean the weekend that includes Sunday, June 6th?
Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :
And when will mack visit the NW clump? Hmmmmmmm?
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Rivka--I think so. That's basically the only time I can get the $203 tix (which makes said trip possible!).
I visit the NW clump when tix are also $203 or when I hit the jackpot. Whichever comes first. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*scans thread*
Ok, Sunday the 6th seems to be ok for the Meese, saxons, and Doves -- judging solely by posts in this thread.
Val, any chance you could join us then too? Or will we have to have separate Shindae for you and mack?
If we are doing two, maybe I'll host one, so LadyDove doesn't have to do all that work twice. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
I know that when I talked to Val, she was going to have trouble scraping up tix money by the first week of june--but this is before I pointed out that she could ALSO get the $203 tix. So I'm not sure. o_O
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Sooo . . . mack-Shinda June 6th, and Val will let us know whether she's coming then, the 20th, or some other date TBA?
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
The 6th is doable for me.
Posted by sarfa (Member # 579) on :
Gah, June 6th, I'm not moving back to SoCal until the last week of June.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
TBA
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
quote: Gah, June 6th, I'm not moving back to SoCal until the last week of June.
That makes it definite -- regardless of when else we have Shinda(e), we need to have one in July. Since the Doves will be away, I volunteer to host.
sarfa, name a Sunday that works for you.
quote: TBA
Val, are you trying to make things difficult? Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Arrive June 4th around 1:15, depart way too early June 8th (like 7am or something equally as horrid).
Well?
Now what?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
SHINDA! Posted by sarfa (Member # 579) on :
Most of the weekends in July work fine (except the 3rd weekend), as does the last weekend of June. Sorry I have to miss Mac, though.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*bump* for Sandy
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
Thanks Rivka!
Jamie and I are also talking disneyland during daylight hours on Saturday if anyone else is interested?
I'll be at the shinda on the 6th. I'll have Jamie with me. Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
For clarification, please -- June 6th Shinda at Ladydove's, July (specific date undetermined) Shinda likely at rivka's?
Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
Pop- That's a plan!
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Yupyupyup! Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
Will a 1PM start work for everyone?
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Works for us.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
I'm at everyone else's whim.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Works for us too. Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
Sadly, rivka tells me that mackillian won't be joining us this weekend. What do you guys think- do you still want to Shinda on Sunday?
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
We would still love to see everyone! Maybe even finally meet Ndra? *hopeful*
Posted by celia60 (Member # 2039) on :
aw, crap, there goes my brilliant trick-mack-into-medical-care plan.
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
My sister from just came up to Northern California at got here this morning, so I can't leave. Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
Well, if it's okay with everyone else, then I'd like to reschedule too. Maybe for July 11?
Baron can't make it because of car problems, Val is due in later this month, Nick is unavailable and mack is not able to join us. Since it will just be us locals, am I a jerk to want to reschedule?
My friends from Pakistan are coming in that day, they've been away since last summer. They were supposed to be in last weekend, but ended-up having to reschedule to this weekend. I like to make a big deal when they come in and show them some friendly American faces. It's especially important to me that the kids feel at home and welcome.
We're having a Summer Solstice party June 19th, I'm out of town 6/26 - 7/6. Can everyone do 7/11? I'll serve Slurpees

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
I can't guarantee that I'll be around on the 11th, as I may be back home for a family thing.
Posted by NdRa (Member # 2295) on :
I can defenitly make it on the 11th, even though I may have to be late depending on my work schedule. Rivka, can you please email me with your phone number? nndraa@yahoo.com. Gracias.

Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
*does happy dance at thought of seeing porcelain girl and Ndra* Mike75- We haven't met your family yet. Bring 'em along.

Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Heh. I sort of doubt I'd be able to convince 50+ people to drive over 300 miles to visit with some people they've never heard of, but I'll see what I can do. Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :
That's one of the things I love about you Mike; your "can do" attitude. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Huh, I guess we will be going to the neighborhood festival/fair/whatever-the-heck-it-is after all.
Sure, July 11 sounds great, and it should be a with-kids weekend for me. Which is good -- they LOVE your house, LadyDove!
Ndra, one phone number (well, two, actually ) sent!
