    First adventure? Me picking you up from the airport. Nothing says fun like fearing for your lives!

    Oh how I love LAX traffic and driving!
  • I always pay my visitors to fly into SNA instead. The time savings is worth the extra cost.

    Its going to be "cold" when y'all arrive mid to low 60s

    I love the weather here.

    Speaking of the weather, @upslynx... what's it looking like up there?
  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    70's today and tomorrow, but....

    We don't get nearly as nice weather this time of year as you guys do. It'll be low 60's when you visit, possibly rainy. It gets cooler in the evening up here as well (40s), so bring a hoodie or jacket.

    Funny you should say this. When I was in Iowa, people kept saying stuff like, "wow... what a nice warm day". Meanwhile, the weather application on my iPhone was telling me that it was 29 degrees outside. It gets cool in California. What occurs in the midwest and on the east coast is something completely different. While "cold" may be a sufficient enough word to describe it in passing, I believe short stories can be written on the subject.

    The winter ski parka that I will be wearing when I leave WI has a zip out liner for "warm winter days". Think that will be sufficient? ;)

    Yup. It was 72 in the valley today... 59 in my apartment.

    The place you'll be staying stays cool with no AC needed. Which is a bad thing in the winter, because California heaters are mostly just for show.

    Pigflipper!

    Jimmy gets in at 4:15, followed by Ryan and Marie around 5:30. You live near LAX, correct? How would you feel about us dropping in? PM me an address if you're up for it.

    Also, I have a friend who's going to drop in from the high desert tomorrow, so we'll have a fair-sized group! I nominate we follow dinner up with drinks. Hollywood, or dive, or whatever.

    Yeah, I live near LAX, let me talk to the lady to make sure she is cool with people dropping by as she is going to be doing some work time in the house tomorrow. I hope she is ok with it, especially since we live about 10 minutes (with traffic) from LAX.

    Unfortunately, I will be extremely limited in what I can do, I have ~$15 until the 25th :-(

    We'll make sure you have fun ;)

    It's early in the morning.
  • pigflipperpigflipper The Forgotten Coast Icrontian
    @Myrmidon Its all good, details in PM.
  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    I'm heading out butt early tomorrow. Should be in LA around noon. If you guys plan on heading out to do stuff earlier than noon, let me know tonight and I'll adjust my schedule accordingly.

    Also, i need an address to go to.
  • pigflipperpigflipper The Forgotten Coast Icrontian
    Thankfully (and horribly timed) I got a job tonight, meaning the next three days I will be working 12+ hours training and expo'ing in the kitchen at Melting Pot. This means tonight was probably the only time I will be able to hang out and it was great meeting those I did not know before and seeing some old friends. Great time y'all. Might be free when y'all come back through next weekend, but not sure.

    @UPSLynx: will have to catch you next time or if we ever make it up your way.

    Morning guys! Sorry for the late notice, aunt and uncle from Northridge surprised me last night with a visit. Given that the 6 hour round trip will probably be longer than the amount of time I get to visit with you all, it looks like the Kenkel lives on.

    Enjoy your visit! Make it further south, next time!
  • RyanFodderRyanFodder Detroit, MI Icrontian
    Sorry to miss you nights!
  • Fuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssss


    Sorry to hear that Kenkel. :'(
  • BobbyDigiBobbyDigi ? R U #Hats ! TX Icrontian
    I'm sorry that I could not make it down for some shens this weekend. Family stuff.

    Maybe next time :P

    Yesterday we ended up walking down Venice beach. There were some epic freestyle gymnasts there we stopped to watch. When we got to the pier, we found a DDR game at the arcade. Dan and I had a blast with some nostalgic arcade dancing. Apparently the crowd there isn't used to people of the amazing skill level we have, so we drew a large crowd to just watch us go through our (4!) songs.

    The walk back through Venice boardwalk was interesting - about every 3rd shop there was a "doctor" out front asking us to come get our $40 prescription. Interesting that it happens.... just not cool for @malia who is allergic :/

    Good times so far - we'll keep you up to date on the adventures today :)
  • Sorry I haven't been able to make it out there to meet with you folks - LA county is usually a forbidden zone in my mind when it comes to traffic, and my family and I barely have time to see each other right now until my wife's doctoral paper is finished.
  • RyanFodderRyanFodder Detroit, MI Icrontian
    Went to the Getty today. It was pretty awesome. Not as awesome as having tea for the first time though!

    :D
