I'll try to make it this time. I have something on the 18th during the day but luckily it's like 45 minutes south from where I am so I can meet up probably during anytime in the mid afternoon. Let us all know! =)

Okay, would a Friday or a Saturday work better for the majority of you? This is the times that D & B's is open on Fridays and Saturdays (I have no clue when their happy hour would begin, Josh, so if you want to check into that and let us know, go for it! :D)

Friday - Saturday: 11:30 am - 2:00 am

Friday would be the 16th and Saturday would be the 17th if we stick with our original time frame we had discussed. Either way, I'm about 99% certain I'd be there, so let's get a date and time to meet scheduled! :)

i'm game

I personally prefer a Saturday. And I got my dates confused. Anyhow, you may also want to consider that if we're meeting at D & B I think it's at 3pm when they start checking ID and anyone under 25 has to be accompanied by someone 25+ in order to get in. At least that's how they do it up here. You can count me in if it's on a Saturday.

It's been a while since I went to D&B's, but here in San Diego when I went we got there in the late afternoon (3 or 4ish) and they didn't check anyone's ID's, and all of us but one were under age 25...maybe San Diego's D&B is a little more lax?

Either way, I'm of the thinking Saturday would work better probably for most, so why don't we set a meeting time of 2pm for Saturday, January 17th at the San Diego Dave and Buster's...I'll be there, and I can get there early to try and "find" everyone as they arrive if need be.

(I wasn't looking at a calendar the first time I mentioned dates when I thought the 17th and 18th were the Friday and Saturday dates)

Shucks.....
 

.....I wish y'all had decided to do this get together when I was in San Diego (12/26-1/2) for my folks' 50th wedding anniversary and a family reunion (and a trip to the National Championship game at the Rose Bowl - USC - #1!!!!!)

I ate at one of my fave restaurants (cuz they have one in Atlanta I enjoy as well) -- GORDON BIERSCH! as well as one of the Mexican Restaurants in Old Town (something Popal -- it was good!) and shopped at Fashion Valley (way too many after Xmas shoppers there!)

Gordon Biersch would get my vote (if I were still in San Diego) as it is big, yummy and easily accessible!;) :D

Re: Shucks.....
 

I wish I had remembered you were coming down this way....some of the GCers who live here year round would've probably enjoyed getting together with you! :(

A lot of the San Diegan GCers were out of town over the holidays because a good majority of them are still in school, so I think they were all spending the holidays elsewhere. Next time you come down this way, though, we'll definitely have to plan a get-together! :)

polarpi: Yes I guess things are a little more lax down in SD. Hee hee. Anyway you can definitely count me in!

How will we find you though? Just at some prearranged specific meeting spot where you'll be holding a red rose? =D Just kidding. =) Or are we allowed to ask you for your cell phone number? =D I'll gladly give you mine as well.

How's this....anyone definitely planning on coming to the gathering just PM me, and I will PM you back with my cell phone number....not that I don't trust all you GCers, but you never know who's scoping out the boards, looking for innocent women to prey on :eek: :p

I'll be meeting up with you all, but then I'm going to have to check out a little early....gotta orientation for my one online class this semester, and I have to drive up to San Marcos to be there from 6-7pm, yuck :p

ETA: I'll also make sure I'm wearing an ADPi sweatshirt, and my picture is also posted in the Greekchatters album (the second album has the most recent picture of me)

Fair enough. Well I PMed you not too long ago. I"ll be looking forward to meeting with you all.

*bump* Just in case there are some people out there who changed their minds or something. =) I wonder how many are going.

The only ones who've PMed me so far are you and josh8o, so it might be a small gathering, or others may just show up and surprise us all! :)

I'll do my best to be there this Saturday. (I've been a huge flake lately, so if I don't show it's cause I'm probably oblivious to what day it really is. :o)

I can't picture you being a flake! :D

*bumping to see if anyone else is planning on making it*

Details:
Date: Saturday, January 17th (this Saturday!)
Time: 2pm
Place: Dave and Busters, San Diego
Who's coming?
~ So far, I've gotten PMs from MareImbrium and josh8o, and SoCalGirl said she'd do her best.
~ If anyone wants to check out what time we're meeting, who to look for, etc, you can PM me and ask for my cell number...I'm going to be at D & B's probably a little before 2, and I'll make sure I have a lettered sweatshirt or something that signifies me as a GCer :)

Wish I could join y'all! Hope you do another one again -- I may come out to visit my family and take the boys to Lego Land (which they love) next month during winter break.....

Even if we don't *officially* plan one, let us know the dates you may be in town and I know that I will definitely try to meet up with you, and I'm sure quite a few of the other San Diego GCers probably would too! :)

Getting excited for Saturday at D & B's :D

*bump* :)

I am excited for today. who else is going?

Well, that was fun :)

Did it happen already?

How was it?

Did anyone get wild and crazy?

:p :D ;)

Josh, Stan, and Yvonne....I really enjoyed meeting with you all. We'll definitely have to plan another get-together soon! :) The only thing we forgot was to take a picture...oh well, there's always next time :D

GPhiBLtColonel, I don't know exactly what the other three will say, but I had an awesome time hanging out with them and hearing Josh and Stan's wacky stories and hearing about how the different chapters are that we're acquainted with on our individual campuses. No one got too wild and crazy, but there's always next time...;)

It was really awesome meeting all of you and listening to how different and alike we all are from our various organizations. And of course who could forget those stories?. =) Gosh I got soooooooo sleepy on my drive back up to LA..haha. It must have been food coma or something. I even considered getting off the 5 to take a power nap and I did get off the freeway but as I was driving around trying to find a place to nap, I was suddenly wide awake. I probably should have ordered that cup of coffee I was debating at D & B. So anyway I cheated and took the toll road (73 N) back to LA which cut my trip by at least half an hour.

hey i had fun too....but next time we will have an after party at my place....we can pull out the beer bong

Alright, I'll show you how it's done.

Okay -- I am officially jealous! I will let y'all know when I am in San Diego next (month hopefully). It sounds like this old crotchety broad (moi) can provide the adult supervision you so desperately need!! Mwhahaha! Maybe Navane can make it too -- isn't she in San Diego? Get that Beer Bong ready Josh & Stan!!!
;)

Sounds like a plan...I'll encourage all of you and take pictures instead of participate, okay?

Navane does live down here in the San Diego area, as does SoCalGirl and bearal, so we'll have to get a huge party together! :D

Grrrr!!! I never saw this thread!!! If I had seen it, I would have shown up!! I only live 10 minutes away from D&Bs! Why didn't someone PM me?? :(


Oh well....maybe next time?


....Kelly :)

Kelly,
I totally didn't even think about just PMing you about the gathering...duh! :o

Next time I'll definitely send out PMs to those SD GCers that I know of and who can pass it on to others that they know!

Jennie

hehehehe Jennie.....you're fired! No more organizing GC gatherings for you! ;)

:) :) :)


.....Kelly :)

bummer sorry i missed this one, I could have driven down. D & Bs is fun....Though I think I am WAY older than the rest of you...by a whole 4 years or so. :p

All right, then I nominate you to organize the next one! :D

Anyone have any suggestions for the next place we should go???

Hey y'all!

Looks very likely that my two sons and I will be heading out to San Diego for a few days during winter break. The dates are
17 - 20 Feb. I may have to leave to return to Atlanta on Friday night the 20th. My hubby is a Delta Air Lines pilot so we fly standby on whatever flights have seats.

Would a Thursday evening get-together work for everyone? Maybe we can meet at Gordon Biersch - one of my fave restaurants! Or one of the restaurants in Old Town?

My folks live in Tierra Santa.


:)

i am always game....

Let's go to Seau's so I can rock the Brady Jersey deep in the heart of Charger Country.

February 17-20? I'm absolutely good to go for those days! I would prefer to avoid the Tuesday if possible; but it's no big deal to me if that's when everyone else wants to go.


hehehe Brady jersey.....dude, Stan, I don't know why you feel the need to think that everything is a statement.... :p I say we go to Seau's so I can represent as a non-offended Chargers fan who was rooting for the Pats to win. :)


.....Kelly :)

I'm game!
 

Hey, I didn't know there was a GC gathering at D&B! Oh well. Serves me right for not being here more often.

But Feb 17-20 is good with me. Navane, the organizer--- where are we going? :D

Just let me know when and where...I probably wouldn't be able to go if it was on Wednesday night (I have a night class), but anything else I'd be more than happy to skip whatever I'd normally have planned :D (Does that make me a bad person or what??? ;))

i'm down for anything...but i have night classes tuesday and wednesday until 10...it's cool if we go those nights if we are gonna chill a little while after...i can just meet up with everyone at 10.

Where is Seau's? I think I remember but I am not exactly sure.

Can we say Thursday night the 19th?

What is a good time?

Did y'all wear letters last time or what?

Oh, this will be fun! I will bring my camera so we can post a picture or two here on GC!

Any L.A. based GC'ers wanna make the trek south for a fun evening?

:D
