Another?! I MISSED ONE?!?!

Well I won't be missing this one if I can help it!! Count me in!

Most weekends work for me, at the moment. Although...I'm applying for a job tomorrow that is only on the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) But we'll see. I don't know if I am going to get it, when it even starts, and what the hours are (I'm guessing 9am-3pm, but I'm not sure).

You all decide on the date. Any of those days sound fine to me at the moment, and anywhere is fine. I have been in AZ for 7yrs now and haven't been to about 90% of the restaurants, so I'm always open to new places.

If I get the job, I'll re-post with details in regards to it.

Hey Oog, glad to see another AZ browncoat, hope you can come!

Thanks :)

One the teachers at my son's Middle school is also a Browncoat. She's uber-busy, so I doubt she can come.

But it's good to know I'm not alone! Seems AZ really doesn't do much in the way of Sci Fi. It was a little disappointing after re-locating from Alaska (21yr as a resident there). We got a Star Trek convention in Anchorage pretty much every year (drove down from Fairbanks for one of them). I never see much of anything like that here. Maybe I miss it all. *shrug*

Well, to be perfectly honest, the number missed is actually two. But we shan't dwell on the past. We'll love to meetcha.

You could casually mention to her that Nathan's parents just happened to drop into our first Shindig and see if that loosens up her schedule.

Sundays could work, but I'd say Saturdays would be better. Daughter will insist on coming, of course, and she has school bedtime issues. Hey - middle school too!

Yeah, I miss all the sci-fi stuff that was in the northwest. :(

The was the Sakura-con (anime covention) in Seattle, a lot of sci-fi authors live in the area, lots of little independent theaters, etc. Heck, I even interned at Dark Horse for a while!

But browncoats are everywhere, if you look hard enough. We may be crouched in the bushes, hiding from the Alliance, tossing DVDs out at unsuspecting passerby, but we're here!

The Big Apple is a great idea.

How many people does it hold? (I'm thinking for down the road, when there may be more Phoenix browncoats in existance...)

Edited to add quote.

I would guess fifty. I beleive food is included with renting the room and the chef there is a well known one. Mmmmm! Great place for dates.
They emailed me all the info before our last shindig but I think I deleted it. I'll call and have them send it to me again.

Okay, February came up way too fast! I'm thinking maybe the end of March would be better. Plus then Has can tell us all about his adventures in Pasadena. :) How do you guys feel about 3/19/05, say 5 or 6ish?

Day's good (Saturday), time's good (5/6ish), date I'll have to give a qualified maybe. 19th is the end of spring break, and my wife my have plans for that week. But maybe not, so don't hold on my account. 5th is still fine, and the 26th is clear.

I'm gettin a hankerin for that there Big Apple apple pie. With ice cream, dontcha know.

I could possibly make March 19th if I can ask my friend to drive me. My hubby soon starts Sundays/Mondays off and won't be off that day. I don't have a car when he works.
