    Default LA Gals (SWFest?)

    Hey LA girlies! What would you say to a mini SWFest in LA? Teeth says she'll be down late October to early November and I really would like to meet her and anyone else that is game. Now I don't know anything for sure since I have no job and no moola coming in, but I could try to get some (ugh) fast food job or SOMETHING so that I could drive down to LA. Whatever we would do would have to be uber cheap.

    Any ideas? Yay, nay?

    This is all very "maybe".

    This also is including SoCal ladies.

    Even if I can't come, Teeth wnats this to happen, so we can plan even if I don't go.

    Hey Yekh, I have a traffic question:

    My map says 512 miles from Lakeport to LAX, drive time 8 hours (no stops). How much time would you add on for traffic?

    I'm definitely in! But I have no idea where Lakeport is. Traffic depends largely on the time of day and will be worst in the area around LAX; if you can avoid the LAX area, do.

    Well, where exactly in LA are you?

    Lakeport is about 70 miles North of Santa Rosa.

    Ohhhh, okay. I'm in Hollywood. Traffic coming from that direction shouldn't be too bad most of the time, so I'd say plan on 8 hours or so including stops. It takes me 5 or 6 hours to get to San Francisco from here if I take the 5.

    I guess we need to figure out where in the heck we'd hang out. For that, I think I want to see what Teeth says.

    Ack! R reminded me (I totally forgot) that we're trying to save up to go see my family up in Milwaukee for Christmas this year. So unfortunately this is a no go for me. But please, somebody should organize a mini SWFest for SoCal because Teeth says she wants to definitely. So plan on!

    (I promise I will try to save up so we can hang sometime next year Wifey)

    ^^^Aww, now I'm wearing my bummerpants.

    It's okay, though. Since I have no idea what I'm doing with my life even in the short-term future, maybe I'll wind up someplace near you for a little while and we can hang out. In any event, I will meet you at some point, someday. Fo' shizzle.

    Yekh, I've been meaning to contact you about my next LA trip, but I'm slacker (but BG isn't... way to make me look bad, Wifelet ) so I hadn't. I'll be there from Oct. 23- Nov. 13, and I have a bunch of time. Weekdays are best for me, since my BF will be at work. I won't have heaps on money, but enough to get some food or do something lo-fi. I'd really like to meet Alexxa and Embyr, and Nicolina if she's around (as I can't remember if she lives in LA or some other part of S. Cal), and will PM these people if they don't see this thread.

    Here are a few ideas I had:

    -Day at the Korean Spa/ Dinner (or Lunch/ Spa)

    -Inexpensive hotel room slumber party, chinese take-out, gossipping, drinking games

    -Group trip to the Halloween nighttime scary thing at Universal Studios (I love these things pretty much more than anything, but I'm anticipating that some people might hate this idea, and that's okay with me)

    But anyway, Yekh or anyone else, do you have any ideas? Do you even want to hang out with me? I super duper want to hang out with yooooou...
    Drought was over. Where was I? Drinks were on the house.
    For mixers, my love, you'd poured--what?--even the rain.

    That's funny that you mentioned a slumber party, I was just thinking about having one. An old-fashioned junior high slumber party where we could make brownies and play games, but with booze.

    ^^^That. Would. Rule. I'd kill for a slumber party, if my ensuing incarceration wouldn't create a Gift-of-the-Magi-esque irony.

    I'm in!! I live in SoCal, not LA, but I can make time within the times you are here to meet up. Slumber party sounds awesome but I don't know if I can get away for that long with the Peanut needing supervision and daddy at school and all. I'll see what I can do.

    Again, I'm sorry

    It'll happen eventually. I was telling R "I have to meet this chick honey, I swear if we lived in the same city we'd be like best friends" ;P

    Slumber party at Yek's, then? I think we should totally put it together with the Korean spa and maybe some Thai delivery, or delivery pizza. We can bake brownies and play board games and Truth or Dare and be drunken junior high girls. In the morning we can go to Eat Well Cafe for a healthy breakfast, or walk to Lucky Devils for brunch and bottomless mimosas. Sound good to anyone?

    That sounds unbelievably awesome. Except for the pizza part, because LA pizza BLOWS. Unless the pizza is from Bossa Nova.

    WOHooOOOO I'm in!!! My b-day's the 18th, so we can have a belated party.

    and i'm in long beach, which is not quite LA and not quite Orange County.... also a REALLY cool place to hang out. I live 1 block from the ocean. if we wanna hang out near me, well, it's not hollywood, but it's still pretty cool.

    Bossa Nova pizza is good, but so is Crispy Crust. Have a bite of their pizza with extra sauce, garlic, fresh basil, and artichoke hearts. You will see G-d. The crust is chewy and yeasty just like pizza crust should be. And they deliver to my house, oh yes.

    This sounds awesome! And I'm so glad that Embyr and Alexxa are in! And yeah, we should definitely plan for something during the day too (Korean Spa would be great!) so Alexxa can come, on the chance she won't be able to stay the night.

    Does anyone have any preferences as far as dates go? Like I said, weekdays will be best for me, since my BF works a ton, so I'll be cutting into as little time with him as possible (not that I need to plan around him completely, but he does ship my ass back and forth, so, you know...). That said, any weekday is fine, as far as I know. I'll double-check with the boy to make sure he hasn't planned anything outstanding which might conflict.

    ooooh yay!!!!! any date is fine w/ me, except tuesday, as my crappy-ass research methods and stats class runs past 9. since i'm a daytime gal anytime is fine.... teeth, what are you doing while bf works for the rest of the time??? I'd love to meet you somewhere to just chill if you get bored- my sched is pretty flexible and even if I'm not super-close to LA, depending on traffic it doesn't take too long at all if I ride.

    I'm doing a whole bunch of nothing while BF is at work (except intermittently pestering Yek to entertain me), so I'd love to hang out whenever. My schedule is, of course, completely open, but I'm a little limited transportation-wise, as I won't have a car unless I'm willing to take BF to work and pick him up. So if you can get around, we should have no problems.

    Yek, do you want to enforce a cap on the number of slumber party guests, since you'll be hosting? Also, how does Wednesday, Nov. 7th- Thurs. Nov. 8th sound? I'm picking these dates more or less arbitrarily, so if they suck, suggest something else and it should work for me. What are your time/date constraints... when is Chinese class, and when do you teach?
