Time and location discussion

My partner is taking an examination in Long Beach on October 1 and 2. Saturday is usually a good day for people for meetups, but if more people want to do Friday evening, that's a possibility too. I'm keeping an open mind. The San Francisco meetup on Saturday will be in a park in San Francisco, although restaurants, bars and office spaces have made excellent meetup venues as well. I suggest early afternoon. Bastique ☎ call me! 19:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

=Location possibilities=

Note: I am specifically leaving out RMS Queen Mary because I think it's a rip-off. howcheng {chat} 23:09, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

:Long Beach isn't at all necessary, I can travel a bit--to Westwood or the San Fernando Valley, for instance, especially if people are more concentrated on the north side of L.A. Bastique ☎ call me! 23:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
