Flyertalker danam and I will be arriving on Friday 6/4 at 4:13PM and leaving Sat. 6/5 at 7:00PM. Anyone interested in meeting for drinks/dinner on 6/4 or lunch 6/5?

I may be around; touch base as it gets closer. Also, do you have transportation or doing the shuttle thing? My car's been going in/out of shop, so even if I am around might not have wheels but if you get over to MB, could meet up w/ you if I am in town. Cheers.

I'm going to just miss you....flying in Saturday evening at 7:00

Might rent a car but either way (shuttle or car) we can certainly make it over to MB if you're around.

I still don't know what is going on yet for sure. There will probably be a Laker game one of those days so....

If we do have it in MB or HB someone can probably pick you up

I'm actually flying into into LAX 6/5 around 10:30, then driving down to a dinner meeting at the Hyatt Huntingon Beach-- so if anyone wants to meet up in MB (and can give me directions), I'll try to make it

If you guys find something to do, somewhere to meet.. I'd love to join ya in the south bay

I could be wrong but I belive the first game of the NBA Finals is 6/6. If the Pacers win it will start in the East and if Detriot wins it will start in the West regardless of the out come.

That said, we can probably make it.

Was downtown MB today & noticed sign - AVP Tournament (Professional Volleyball) is happening 6/4-6/6 at the MB Pier. If you haven't been before it's fun.

Having said that, wouldn't pick it as a place for a get-together, especially since no booze on the beach

Post next week & let's try to sort out if it's drinks/dinner on the 4th or lunch on the 5th. Cheers.

Just checking to see if this is a go or no go?

I sent DEK a PM & asked him to post here what's going on. My guess is he was traveling over the weekend.

Sorry everyone, it was a busy weekend!

How about meeting up in Manhattan Beach either Friday evening around 6:30-7:00PM or Sat. around noon? As for a venue may I leave that to the locals as I don't know the area?

Thanks!
Dale.

Saturday preference here (noon works for me) but will go to whatever you guys choose, just post here please so I know where and when as I read this on the fly during the day

I can do either Fri or Sat. Just let me know.

Couple of things (not in any order):

* noticed mauld's arriving on sat am, & s/he said s/he could swing by on way to huntington, so maybe that might be better so s/he can join in.

* if the beach is like this past weekend (especially w/ the AVP this upcoming weekend), parking will be a zoo. there is valet parking (although it can get pricey), and in addition to the big parking structure behind the main section of mb blvd in dwntwn mb, there is now a new underground parking structure at the corner of valley & mb (entrance from valley headed south). parking structures require quarters, dimes & nickels.

* for those interested, they can walk down to the pier after lunch & catch a bit of the volleyball tournament.

Having said all that, both Fri eve & Sat lunch work for me. I'll just check the thread.

Possible places to meet: Shark's Cove, Hennessy's, The Kettle, Shellfish Tavern, Beaches (downstairs).

Since it looks like the best time and day for everyone let's choose Sat. at noon.

SkiAdcock , would you mind picking the place? Any of the one's you mentioned sound good to me. Thank you for helping with this!
