GillFish Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Gyrene I’d suggest May 25 or 26 since the 27 is a holiday for most of us. Let the negotiations begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L4Pilot Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Should the group decide on the Santa Monica area, I can do a little facilitating, if that would help. I have a small business there at Santa Monica airport. The Spitfire Grill restaurant, which is on the field, has a meduim-sized, glassed-in area in the back that they would be happy to set up for us, given a little notice. They said they can set up the tables to accommodate some laptops, and such. I've also got a call into the Tours and Groups person at the Museum of Flying with regard to discount admission. And yes, they do (did) have a Yak 9 in flying condition on display. (I was the first manager at the museum, but they'll probably still let us in anyway. ) The museum is only open on weekends currently. Saturday and Sunday would also definitely be better than a Friday night from a traffic perspective. So let's see what the group decides.

Claymore Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hmmm...its a little out of the way but can we consider Chino and the Planes of Fame museum? Its got far more gist for the talking mill. I'm in Santa Clarita, so anything is a 40 min drive. Timeframe: anytime on a weekend Cheers Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeframe: anytime on a weekend Cheers MurrayChino's Planes of Fame would be a remote possibility due to it being sort of out of the way and open during the day only. (They close at 4pm, I think). There's no place to sit and yap at the Chino Airport really, restaurant-wise. They do have a Sherman tank though... Santa Monica seems a better bet, despite the fact that I live minutes away from the Chino Airport. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I say: Santa Monica airport, Sat, June 22. -This will give us an accessable place to eat and chat; oh yeah, and drink. -It's on a Saturday, so none of you church going types will be effected (except Catholics). -It has the museum that we can stumble around in if we like. :cool: -The date is far enough in advance that we can get the time off from our respective employers (yes, some of us do work weekends) -The date is also the Barbarossa kick off date (and maybe the CMBB kick off date too)! :eek: Thats what methinks.

Foobar Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I will be there. Although I would love to manipulate all of you into coming back down to San Diego like last time, I guess I need to be fair. Sounds fun! Where's MarkIV dagnabit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 I'm in. Now...Morning, Afternoon or Evening (Like the last one)? Afternoon would be better in my opinion 3pm - ish on. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L4Pilot Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 The Muiseum of Flying is open Sat -Sun 10-5. It takes an hour or less to see pretty well. I'm still waiting for a callback re: group admission. I work til 4 on Saturday, but I can join up with whatever the group is doing at that time. And Spitfire Grill (which incidently has about a dozen beers on tap, not that that would matter to members of this get-together) should be available from 3pm on. So if that's the choice, let me know about the timing, so's I can firm it up with the places involved. Oh yeah, do the San Diego county people want to carpool up here? Having grown up in San Diego, I know about the drive. (Psss... The San Diego Aerospace Museum is better) Also I just found out that the Museum of Flying in Snata Monica will be closing permanentlky on June 30 of this year :mad: Don't get me started on that little fiasco!

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 L4Pliot, It's closing? Well that sucks. :mad: All the more reason for the June 22 meeting. I say: we meet at 2-3pm? This will give everyone enough time to make the drive without some having to wake early (GOD FORBID ) on a Saturday! Since the museum closes a 5pm, this will give us plenty of time to visit it. Gyrene, I think we'll need a list of those who know for sure they are coming, so our friend can set up accomodations for us at the Spitfire Grill. Maybe everyone can e-mail you or L4Pilot, and a list can be posted on the thred so we have an idea of how many will be there? I'm in. I just have to make arrangments with my employer.

Gyrene Posted May 11, 2002 Author Share Posted May 11, 2002 Well, we have over a month to go, so I'll just keep this topic bumped and maybe get a mailing list started. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L4Pilot Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I'll work on making the arrangements with the Museum and the restaurant. And although this certainly won't matter to any of the expected attendees, the current draught beer list from Spitfire Grill includes: Angel City Lager Fosters Lager Oregon Honey Lager Samuel Adams Lager Angel City Ale Bass Ale Firestone Double Barrel Ale Newcastle Brown Ale Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Pyramid Hefeweizen Wyder's Pear Cider Guinness Stout As well as a number of domestic and imported bottled beverages.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I'm out guys. My pathetic employer needs two freak'n months of notice to get a day off for an employee. It's just the lazy, whining, bitch that handels our schedualing. Unfortunatly, my bosses think she is an excellent person for the position, even though 90% of the staff complains about her and her policy. :mad: Heve fun ya'll.

L4Pilot Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I'm going to suggest throwing it open to time and place, again. The restaurant is still fine if so desired, but I'm getting conflicting information about the Museum of Flying's closure date. Also, apparently most of the intersting WWII airccraft have been moved out (to Mojave). And several of the original proponents of Santa Monica seem to be unable. Perhaps we will want to wait until CMBB is shipping so as to have something to go ga-ga over when we get together. l4Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
