Awesome!! My friend Kyla is interpreting for the Queen so we definitely want to go see her and check it out, but we have Lisa's son so it depends in the time. We will be there during the day tho!

Who is going this weekend? Are we doing anything on Saturday night?

I'll check in with Rasa and get the low down later today (Wednesday), although might be Thursday before I'm online again.

After weeks of unseasonally cold and very wet weather, I'm now leaving behind a heatwave here in London to enjoy the grey gloom of San Diego .... something ironic about that.

At least the good thing about London-San Diego travel is that we now have a direct flight. Leave London shortly after 3pm today for an 12 hour flight but arrive in San Diego early evening due to the 8 hour time difference.

San Diego

******* evening of good conversation & laughter *******

******* Friday, 28th September 2012 *******


I'm back in SoCal in late September for a little over a week and organising a get-together for B/F/GQ/T folk and their allies on Friday 28th September.


I'll confirm exact times in due course but intention is to have a relaxing meal at the Parkhouse Eatery (www.parkhouseeatery.com), followed by drinks until late at Bourbon Street (www.bourbonstreetsd.com).


This was also our itinerary for the meet back in May and I think everyone who attended had a great time - therefore, I don't think that there's a need to change the venues. I was very impressed by both the food and the service at the Parkhouse Eatery and Bourbon Street is always an enjoyable venue. Also, if you don't know, the two venues are within a very, short walking distance of each other for maximum convenience.


Alas, although I did pole-dance at Bourbon Street in May, I've decided to retire from this line of work so it's not scheduled for the September meet.


I have an invite / event list for this meet-up on Facebook and happy to add other names to that. Equally happy, if anyone is in the area and wants to come along, to let me know here. I just need to know a week or so in advance, where possible, so that I can ensure an appropriate booking at the Parkhouse Eatery.

If you're not going to Pole Dance, I don't know if it's worth it for me to drive all the way down there!! :(

Add me to the list. I don't know yet if I can make it, but I'll sure try

Virago - would be great if you could make it. It's been far, far too long .... May 2009 to be exact.

Trust me on this, me not pole dancing should be an incentive to attend but, if you can get down to San Diego and are very insistent and have a few $$$ to spare, I'll offer a private dance :eek:

Collecting Donations Now! :) Raising the money!!
And then selling the videotape. lol

Memorial for Mike NORTHERN CA
 

The S.F. LGBT Center is planning a memorial for Mike McLeod aka ChatDaddy, aka Mike, aka JYD sometime mid-February. They will let me know the exact date in a couple of days.

Mike worked as the Facilities Manager there for many years. If you would like to make a donation to the Center in Mike's name, go to their website to do so at www.sfcenter.org, any amount is welcome. OR mail a donation.

The San Francisco LGBT Center is located at 1800 Market Street, S.F., CA 94102

Parking is hellish in this neighborhood, I highly recommend public transportation. Nearest BART station is Civic Center and you can either wak the four blocks OR take MUNI from there one stop up.
