[Candy]

What about Danny?

 

[Crazy1]

Danny of course, is invited. As is anyone else on the forum. However he is on the East coast.
Candy will you be able to make it I hope ?

 

[maevamichelle]

Still not sure about that day, I hope so! I'll check back in a few days; to let you know for sure! Thnx

 

[muddled]

To be quite honest I'm not 100% sure, but if I went I'd bring another person with me. I'll also let you know for sure in a few days, sorry guys!

 

[Crazy1]

No problem guys. If you can make it I would just like to give Domenico's Italian Restaurant a head count about a week in advance. So if you can go I just as that you get back with me by June 5th. Hope that works for everyone.
By the way I contacted those that commented they were interested in the earlier thread. Hope I didn't make anyone feel put on the spot.

 

[Josh]

i have added this to my calendar. i will probably be attending alone

 

[Candy]

I'm sorry Robyn for some reason I thought Danny live Closer. I don't know why I thought that oh well. I am trying to come, but my husbands niece and nephew are having graduation parties that weekend and my husband has to take a test so I'm trying. I'll let you know. Candy

 

[galvinkaos]

Lee and I will be there. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and cheese bread and a meatball sandwich and antipasto salad and pizza and
...... Oh by the way I love their food and I am currently starving.

Dawna

 

[Crazy1]

No problem Candy. With this wonderful Internet we all seem so close it's easy to forget someone may live so, so far away. I do understand everyones busy lives. But I do hope you can make it.

Dawna, I am glad to have moved you and Lee to the Confirmed list It will be my first time at Domenico's and I am looking forward to it.

Hiya GF!

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond; thankfully this is my last term of school & after 7-31-09, I can have more personal time to spend here & on another site which I have been neglecting as well!

HECK YEAH, count me in! I have no idea where this place is, but I will google it & make sure to get there in time for lunch, lol! Italian cuisine? Oh yeah, I'm there, LOL. (Shall I bring Henry's Private Reserve again, or would the restaraunt consider that rude? I kinda liked our budding 'tradition' of including some yummy rootbeer, lol)

Since this meeting is indoors, I am assuming that we are not bringing any of our shelled family members.. or is that a wrong assumption? I was thinking about bringing my leopards (weather permitting) but can keep them at home if such is the case...

For anyone who missed our first Annual So Cal Meeting, you missed a fun time of fellowship & tortie-ship, lol ~ it is so nice to get to meet our online tort families in person! I had an exceptionally wonderful time at our first meeting & would recommend to anyone in the area to 'C'Mon Down! The price is right!', lol.

Again, Robbie, sorry for the delay in my response, my friend! I'm surely looking forward to giving ya another hugg!
Blessings to All and Cya there!
A Purpod Peep

P.S. Are we sure we can't convince Yvonne to come down? (Talk about putting someone 'on the spot', lol... just hoping to meet our own personal celebrity! tee-hee-hee)

 

[Crazy1]

Purpod, Sorry no tortys this time. Only Italian food (don't think they would like us bring our own drinks but hey what you can smuggle in, well. ) and good company. Glad you will be able to join us again Looking forward to my Hug.
I am already thinging of our 3rd Annual meeting next year and I was thinking maybe we should either do the San Diego Zoo or maybe get together and make a trip up to Clovis- Could you see all of us decending on poor Yvonne. But we could come in work cloths and lend a hand if anything needed to be done. Might need to be an overnighter as she is half way up the coast. to some of us.

 

[Josh]

So I just found out about my good friend's bachelor party which is planned for this same weekend...
I'll have to figure something out, but schedule me as "tentative" for now

 

[Crazy1]

Josh I have you penciled in. Heck just bring the gang with you we can all talk tort over lunch. The beginings of an unforgetable Bachelor party

 

[purpod]

Hiya Rob,

Yeah, I can understand about the snortie torties & the Henry's (altho I still might need to bring a couple 6 packs and pass one out to everyone as we leave.. lol)

And yeah, as much as I'd love to cruise up to Yvonnes, I'm not so sure she'd like an entire crew showing up, lol; that said, I do have a tent and have never been afraid of a bit of outdoor work!

Huggs to all,
Purpod

Josh ~ too bad the restaraunt does not 'serve' hot little Italian beauties as well, for then it really would be a bachelor party to remember, lol!

Dawna ~ LOL, shoot, I haven't had a really good antipasto salad in years! Now you've got me hungry too, lol

Oh Yvonne... ... are ya sure you can't come down for a visit? My house is a mess, but you're more than welcome to crash at my place in T.O. should you not wish to do a 'turn and burn', so to speak. Just thought I'd toss that out there for ya... {{Huggs}}

Your friendly Purpod Peep

 

[richalisoviejo]

If the jury reaches a verdict early and I get home I’ll show up. I’m hoping to be able to make it.

 

[Crazy1]

Fingers crossed you will be able to Rich.

 

[dmmj]

I would like to attend if at all still possible it would most likely be me and one guest. When is the last day for reservations? I would need one more day or so to confirm details. BTW I love italian food, yum
