Blog Gathering

UPDATE: New time, new location

I have it on good authority that, should we choose to gather on Sept 14th, we will have the pleasure of Special Agent Johnny Utah's company.

That is reason enough for me.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals are hosting the Dolphins at UoP Stadium that day (1:15 kick-off), so The Yardhouse is out. We could give BJ's Brewhouse a try.

2:00...3:00...?

Thoughts?

Give my regards to Mr. Utah! Alas, I doubt I can get away for long on a Sunday afternoon. (And they've discontinued the non-stop from Mesa to Glendale.) Have fun!

How about the trip from Mesa to Phoenix? We could go back to Sonora Brewhouse or go all out and meet at Nixon's.

Is Sunday out all together?

Tell me why . . . I don't like Sundays?

I guess it wouldn't be THAT bad. I might have to miss lunch at church in order to make that lengthy trek to East California!

LOL

Starting Sept. 7, I will spend Sundays, 5-8pm, with two dozen 4- and 5-year-olds screeching into my ears. (Don't pretend you aren't jealous.) With church in the AM and myriad family obligations, Sunday will be a bad day for me.

And I ain't gonna see crap for football this year. Sigh.

Sounds like fun. Haven't driven all the way to Kalifornia in a long time... you did say 9xxx west, right?

It isn't that bad - it is right off the 101 at Northern. Easy to get to from just about anywhere in the valley :-)

It would be great to get you out to one of these, too, John M.

So far, the only RSVPs I have are
Johnny Utah: yes
ExJon: no
John McJ: yes
John Moore: yes

I am seeing a theme here - any non-Johns coming, besides me?

Right now I can be there... as always I prefer to walk to Sonoran rather than driving to Glendale, but can do either.

May I suggest not being in Glendale the same day as sports event- if you remember last year when we gathered at Westgate and there was a Coyotes game and it was heck just getting in. A Cards game will have 6x the number of people

I think Glendale will be OK, since we are starting during the game - everyone should be in the stadium, and BJ's is over a mile away.

My problems with Sonora are light rail (I avoid Camelback whenever possible), parking and the drink menu. It is fine if you are a beer drinker, but there isn't anything for the rest of us to induldge.

Though I am open to suggestions, I am still leaning toward BJ's Brewhouse.

Definitely maybe. Perhaps.

I don't know, as that weekend is sandwiched in between a Birthday Party Of Great Importance the previous weekend and a camping trip the following one.

As such, I imagine many terabytes of Honey-Do's that weekend.

West side! West side! I'm an unemployed single gal, I need to save all the gas I can. Har.
