Flyertalk Cares! - Support Bodacious Tatas Do Two -- SAN 3-Day Do Nov 22, 2009 -

After much hemming and hawing.. I've bit the bullet and registered for the 2009 San Diego 3-Day. So please consider making a donation (http://www.the3day.org/goto/missy-san09) to this great cause.

Anyone in the area that weekend is welcome to join the public events.

Opening Ceremonies:
Friday November 20th, 6:30 a.m. (yes, I said a.m.)
Del Mar Fairgrounds


Cheering Stations:

From the 3-Day Spectator Info Page: (http://www.the3day.org/site/PageServer?pagename=SD_Spectator)

Public cheering stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise - anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking.

Bodacious Tatas, eh?

--Russ

I suspect I'll attend that dinner.

YAY! I'll suspect you'll get to decide the location too :)

Let's see which gets posted first: foady, with his date and location for the November 2008 San Diego dinner, or dinner for this event in 2009.

Bodacious Tatas, eh?

And supporting them, no less... ;)

Getting a little impatient there, are you :)

Hey, anything that works! I'm not above a gentle prod.

What a boob... :-: :-:

hmm i live in SAN

i will try to attend the dinner

and make a donation to keeping tatas safe and cancer free!

Hey, anything that works! I'm not above a gentle prod.

I get the gentle prod! I did call the restaurant today and the guy said he need to check with someone or something and will call me back tomorrow to confirm a time. I requested 7 p.m. so we'll see...

I suspect I'll attend that dinner.

Me too. :D

Since it's for Bodacious Tatas, it should be held at a strip club :D

I suspect I'll attend that dinner.

I suspect I will, as well :)

Is this still happening? Are the Tatas still running? It's been **gasp** almost a year since anyone has posted.

Since last year the word has added a new meaning, just to confuse the thread:

But the original is still a great cause.

This tata is indeed still planning to walk in San Diego this year, and will be plenny hungry when its all over :)

just one tata?

no, there are two of us, which I suppose technically means 4 tatas

Me too. :D

me three!

me three!

Excellent! We are on our way to an excellent dinner. foady, can you scout Hillcrest for an appropriate restaurant? I'd prefer your neighborhood to something in the Gaslamp Quarter, given that I live considerably to the north.

Missy, do you know yet where you will stay?

no.. they haven't told us what the route is or where the end ceremony will be.

I'll likely be staying somewhere very close to the airport sunday night for my way too early flight home Monday morning

Closing Ceremony (to which you are all invited) will be at Petco Park at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon, and I'm staying at the Westin Gaslamp Sunday night for my ugly early flight Monday morning.

I won't have a car, but If someone wants to pick me up, or point me towards the appropriate public transportation option ... I'm happy to eat anywhere. I would suspect that there will be about 4000 hungry walkers trying to eat in Gaslamp/Downtown Sunday night.

For the super ambitious... the Opening Ceremony is at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and starts at 6:30 a.m.

I'll be in San Diego that weekend, and might be able to swing the beginning of the dinner.^

Bump!!!

Someone local needs to decide where we're eating!

...Someone local needs to decide where we're eating!If you are going to let the SAN locals pick the restaurant, I hope that you like Mexican food. :)

I like every kind of food :)

So how many people are we talking about for dinner? There is a great Thai place called Amarin Thai in Hillcrest. There's also a great Italian place called Sambuca.

I like every kind of food :)I suspected that even as I was writing that last post. Franny and I are sorry that we will not be able to get out there to support you but we know that you are doing something important and hope that you have a great time doing it.

Is Sambuca the place that stayed open for us and where we had the great pasta?

I suppose 8 or 10?

Is Sambuca the place that stayed open for us and where we had the great pasta?

And is it the place we had an FT dinner some months ago? It had great food. I also like Thai. I'm glad it's your decision, foady.

Missy, yes, I'm +1. The other half wouldn't give up the opportunity to see you.

Sign us up please. Hiyo +1.

Have not tried Sambuca (the restaurant), but Amarin Thai is our favorite mainstream Thai place in San Diego.

Is Sambuca the place that stayed open for us and where we had the great pasta?

Yes, it is.

And is it the place we had an FT dinner some months ago?

No, it isn't. That one was Arrivederci... good Italian too!

If anyone is interested in brunch on Sat or Sun, my favorite brunch place at the moment is called Urban Solace.

both sound great Foady... I'll leave it up to you.

I'd make the ressie for 12... just in case.

Wow Missy, I'm glad I read your sig and found this. I know a group of ladies walking and will probably be hanging with them but maybe I can sneak away and make dinner. I won't know until that day so don't count on me but maybe I can run by and and meet up. ;)

Well I can't make dinner now that I'm in the Midwest, but I can support the 'tatas', so will make a donation. Thanks for doing this missy. As you know, this is a cause dear to my heart. Cheers.

I'm interested. :-)
Shall be around Sat & most of Sunday.
Unfortunately, I'll miss the end of the walk (unless Missy finishes in record time) and the post walk dinner Sunday evening.

Count me in for dinner.

Yay! So does this mean there is an earlier party as well?

I've got ressies for Saturday night at Roy's too. 8pm.

It's for 6 people right now, but I can always increase it.

Sign us up please. Hiyo +1.



We would like to be included for dinner.

If there isn't, then I have seriously misjudged the op, and this crowd. ;)

I totally missed you! Sorry!!!

You're on the list now :)

I LOVE Roy's - you mean the one DT?

Yep, thats the one!

Yep, thats the one!So wait....you get to stop walking and feast at Roy's? Not that you won't need nourishment :).

Damn that sounds good but since I still can't drive:mad: I don't think I can make that. I actually used to live really close by there, in fact if anyone knows the Morman Temple in San Diego/UTC, I used to live straight across the street from it, made it easy to give directions to my place. :D

Ok done. Made reservations for Amarin Thai in Hillcrest on Sunday, Nov 22, at 7:30 p.m. for 14 people. Can/will adjust reservation as necessary.

Thanks Foady!!

cheering stations have been posted too :)

Bump!!!

Bump!!!

Now that i've been bumped, I'll make train ressies.

... knows the Morman Temple in San Diego/UTC, ... :DI'll be there Saturday the 21st. Originally I had planned a long weekend in San Diego, followed by few days in Buenos Aires, but that's changed. Hopefully I'll be able to make at least one SD dinner.

We're within the one week countdown.

I'm going to bring my excess supply of hotel toiletries to gift in hopes that someone will give them a home.

I've got airline pjs. If you'd like a pair, send me a PM. We'll work out a carrier/size. I've got some Asiana pjs that seem a bit girly, even though they are handed out to their predominantly male F passengers.

And I'll happily accept anyone's excess sticks of lip balm. Picky me - I don't like the pots or tubes.

I'm bringing you stick Lip Balm! I hope we can someday do a full "amenity doo" (cough, paging holtju2!)

I can always use PJ's, girly or not. :)

I'm pretty sure I've got some stick lip balm around too. If I'd have known your preference, I would have picked up some Avene in Paris. Love that stuff!

I hope we can someday do a full "amenity doo" (cough, paging holtju2!)

I've just raided my closet - and have two large bags of toiletries. And this is good stuff, because it's all I bother schlepping home these days.

Missy, a set of pjs is yours. You'll likely want some cozy downtime after your 3 day event.

good thing there is no liquid restriction on Amtrak then :D

Please make it LLM+2 and go, Missy, go! Looking forward to seeing you all Sunday...and Carol's stash, too. Alas, just checked and used my last lip balm.

Great headline. I have a group of friends that host Susan Komen events and know how to get the guys to show up to "Save Second Base".

GO MISSY! GO MISSY! GO MISSY!
Cheers.

Enjoy and hope the weather behaves!

It's GORGEOUS here and saw a long pink parade of happy walkers go through Del Mar this morning.

Go Team Tatas!

Wish I could be there to support you in person, but you'll have to put up with my representative instead. Save some of the good amenities for me, will you? ;)

cheering stations have been posted too :)There is another cheering station for missydarlin here in South Florida. :) ^ :)

Thank you, but just to the W :D

Sorry, gotta go be a choirboy on Sunday. :)

Left my office just before 5 and met Madame Tatas and fireworksboy for dinner a little after 8:30. In retrospect, taking the 15 was probably a poor choice.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and supporting Missy throughout the day.

Yay, tatas! ^

Great sign!! Beautiful weather

It was so much fun. foady chooses the best restaurants. And Missy was too exhausted to look triumphant after 60 miles of walking.

So sorry to miss the final dinner. :(
But I did manage a final snack with some bad influences before I successfully stood by for a later departure flight.
And here I am, back at work on a Monday morning missing the gorgeous SAN weather!

Great restaurant, Foady, and even better company! Congratulations again, Missy!

I couldn't agree more!

I'm back in the office, and the big meeting I rushed home for has been cancelled. :mad:

Thanks to everyone for their support! The donations, the signs, the iced tea deliveries, and the fantastic dinner company. You all made it a lot more fun.

Oh..and Carol... I forgot to mention last night that I used those leg gels Sunday at the lunch stop. Genius!!! Thanks for thinking to send them along :)

Congratulations, Missy! :)

So, where are we going next year? :p

So, where are we going next year? :p

I had a great time and am looking forward to the next city the tatas intend to visit. Saturday's dinner was great and the company was the best. Great pics Flyin!
