Brian London had a post right before the change over about doing something on March 14th right before Family Winemakers.

Uh…are you totally clueless today, bud?

See the ONE other thread in here?

I’m talking about a mini offline when Jan Brekke comes to town, I think it is March 3-6

4

BEFORE? Don’t you mean AFTER? Might be up for this; I’ll respond to Brian’s thread.

5

Just tryin to help. Go wax your board.

6

He said the night before on the 14th. Is the Main event on Sunday?

7

The main event is Sunday from 3-6 PM. I was thinking the night before if people were going to be traveling down for it. Figured that Sunday PM might be tough given that its a Sunday night…

8

Oops, my bad read. Yeah, Paul Lin and I were thinking of just coming down for Sunday. Even though about taking the train. :idea:

9

Yeah just got a message from Paul. You guys are just staying for sunday tho right?

10

Guys, I changed the date to post-event. Look at the other thread.

11

I’m in for Sunday, last day of Spring break!

12

any good places to eat near the solana beach train station?

13

What kind of food are you interested in?

14

Pizza Port! Pizza and fresh brewed beers, right across the street!

15

I’ll be getting into town the afternoon of March 7th and leaving March 12th. Staying near the gaslamp district at the U.S. Grant hotel. Right now all of my evenings are open.

16

I know Otto registered, just haven’t seen him posting yet - hopefully, we’ll get some confirmation and make this happen.

17

Yeah, we were looking at March 7th for this at the Wine Vault. I will pm a couple of other members of this board to see if they can make it, if that is ok with Jan and you Todd.

It will be a sexy party!

Hey San Diegans sign up for this one. Nancy, Bruce, Mark, Charlie, Brian etc? Do I really need to pm you guys? If for no other reason than to meet our esteemed French Horn Maestro!!! [cheers.gif]

To sweeten the deal I will bring a bottle of 1996 Krug and a 1982 Bordeaux.
