!!!!!!! sheesh!!!
stuff kept getting changed for us, with my friends poor health, we decided it best he not travel...and now, we're going to to to AZ, my hubby, the baby and I starting on Dec 7th- 11th, to visit family and friends..ie Cajome :) ( luv ya sis)
Anyone besides her and us want to meet up?????
You mean you require more than just me to make the meetup worthwhile?? Sheesh! I must be losing my touch. lol
(Tossin' da luv right back atcha, sistuh!)
Arizona in December.....the weather will be dipping into the mid-60's....brrrrrr. We'll all be wearing our winter clothing....heavyweight t-shirts and shorts. :)
Aww Cajome, hunny, you want cold? Come up here....we have it at about 20 or less at night right now, and 50-ish in the day, with high winds....60 in the desert is like an autumn day here, no jackets required....wussy ;)
just kidding...lol, sistah
Actually, I generate my own heat. ::wink,wink:: So, the cooler weather doesn't really bother me all that much. :p
lol
Cajome, and others, since I've noticed 45 views on this thread....help me out..
When my dad lived on 7th ave, between Calemback and the next coutherly paralell road, there was/is this goth-ish store owned by Vial, opened only on weekends....dang it what's its name again???? I've been there often, but not for a long while...and the name escapes me!!! ARRGGHH
Hey anyone know of any early Dec. events worth hitting???
Besides doing Chipotle during our visit, yes we're lovers of the burrito slinging establishment....we'd like to find stuff to do...
Hi,
When and where is this meetup so we can put the word out?
Yes I would love to meet others in the area, as we did before. Unfortunately the last turn out over the summer wasn't what we expected, so it often times happen.
ElderDan had mentioned to me that the CounterCultureCauldron may be closing at the end of this month, as well as the PaperHeart. Though the Paperheart they are still not entirely sure.
We could do the Willow House which is very comfortable, or perhaps a StarBucks?
Any thoughts? May I make a suggestion for it to be a Saturday? How about the afternoon?
Hoping to see someone there.
Counter culture is officially out of business... they've already started gutting the place.
lol if you're looking for something to do in December you could always do the glendale glitters thing. "lights, in trees, outside" Uh that was a joke, but hey if it flies, it wouldn't be the first joke of mine that became something.
I thought the Willow became a bit unfriendly to wierd/gothy people? Besides, I refuse to drink their espresso drinks as they don't know how to make them (chock that up to being a former barista- espresso junkie).
There used to be a nice cafe with an artsy flair in the historic district downtown I liked, good food, open mike sometimes, poetry readings...don't remember the name.
Hey there's always Hamburger Mary's, lol, Buffy the Hamburger Slayer, haha
I like Cheesecake Factory on Camelback, and La Madeline's too.
I used to work for Jolta Java in Scottsdale, we could meet there, they have great goods to eat and drink!!
Man, watch, my dad'll all be like hey lets go do the Glendale Lights thing...uggh, I'd rather walk around Scottsdale, gawking over overpriced native goods...
Oh, um yeah, hehe, we're supposed to be there from the 7th till the 11th of Dec.
Time date and location.
Just a side note; Glendale lights is a very romantic walk for ElderDaniel and myself.
Well, we arrive on the 7th in the afternoon, have that day and friday to kill (tho I need to reorganize my storae space prolly then, and my dad and his mate get home from Boston friday night), so Saturday is best I would think, hey Cajome, how about you?????
Sat the 9th, time let's say if at lunch, 12 noon or 1 pm, and if at dinner then 6pm- NOW all we need is to decide the place and the time....so give us your pick..please.
East Valley if we can arrange that. Beloved has the kids and I don't want him to go too out of his way and all.
I can do Willow House, Scottsdale, and Tempe.
Any takers?
Willow I'll say Nay on, Tempe is too far for me as I'd be coming from Grand Ave at 101 and exit 111, all the way on the north west end...but scottsdale, well thats a jump on the 101 a few miles...and I just love that Jolta Java...bet they'd freak to see me....
so I say jolta Java, lunch at 1 on Saturday....
(unless of course my man can't come and then I get my flight on Friday or saturday, since my dad is all confusing me with AmWest airflight poop- don't mind me....I'm just typing out loud ;) )
Is anyone else coming even a maybe? Besides yourself, which is on the fence of events beyond your control?
Actually, it is confirmed we will be there as stated, as of today..yay!!!, and it will be me, my hubby, and our daughter. Cajome is unable to get to the event, but maybe I can convince her to ride with us.
Cajome, sister, what do you say???? to that??
Sorry, not going to be able to make it. ElderDaniel is working this weekend and I'll be watching our children that day.
Maybe next time.
Sorry to hear that Lilian, but it's cool, I know how kids and changes in plans can alter what we do.
IN any case, I know we'll still meet Cajome- we're hittin the west-side Chipotle, and we're still going to Jolta Java on Saturday for lunch.
If anyone reading this would like to join our small group on either day, speak up!!!!
Would love to hear more about the Phoenix meetup. Looking forward to a reply either here or via email (see my profile for the addy).
Thanx in advance!
So far as I know, it's on....with just myself, my husband, perhaps my sistah Cajome....and maybe lowingitius (who said he'd see)
The more the merrier....and since Lilian can no longer join, then I propose we change it to Friday night dinner, at the Arrowhead Chipotle, since it's where those of us who are going so far live near.
Thanx for the reply.
As I live in the far East Valley, perhaps the meetup could be a bit more centrally located... say either the central Phoenix or even the MetroCenter area.
Thanx.
OK folks...the meet is this Friday....anyone aboard besides myself, my hubby, and Cajome (who has disappeared into the ether)??????
Friday night, Chipotle, Arrowhead, Dinner around 6pm
lol.. would love to show up, but i can't make it.. got too much damn jewelry to make before christmas.. be well and enjoy tho
D
Should there be a future meet-up scheduled that is a bit more centrally located in the Phoenix area so more can attend, please let me/us know.
Well if you want another meet up, dont sit around and say inform me. Do it yourself.
The only way anything will ever get done.
And you are...?
Excuse me, but I was addressing this to those seeking attendees for their meet-up.
And had I or anyone else interested in attending their meet-up wanted to host a meet-up of our own, we would have started our own forum entry seeking attendees, too, now wouldn't we?
Thing is the person that set this one up doesnt live in Phx, I would set one up but Im moving from this hell hole called Phx.
Dont plan on being here come the next couple of weeks.
Hehehe... I hear that re: Phoenix as a "hell hole." I'm sick of brown mountains, brown dust, brown desert... and living where it's usually hot as hell, too. No lush acres of green, no blue streams and lakes, and no seasons, either.
Congrats on gettin' outa here. Hope to do the same before too much longer.
