What he said!

Well, would you all rather meet at a bar or the beach or a park for a bbq? Maybe an rpg-sandiego drunken frisbee or football game?

Park for a BBQ get's my vote.

I like the idea of a beach BBQ. A fire might be cool, too, but I dunno how late in the year they leave the rings out.

[edit: Looks like Encinitas is leaving 'em out year round. w00t]

You know we can bbq at the beach, too, right? Sorry, I realized I wasn't really clear in that other post. Or was that a vote for bbq without sand in it?

Moonlight has ample parking, fire rings, and grass for people who do not want sand in their bbq, which seems reasonable to me. It also has the volleyball nets. I'm thinking I can coordinate a signup to bring side dishes, everyone can bring their own entree to bbq and beer to drink.

It was a vote for BBQ without sand, but I'd be willing if that's what everyone else votes for.



Basicly, anything but the bar. :wink:

It all sounds good to me.

No booze at Moonlight, iirc.

Does that make it suboptimal for our purposes, or is this acceptable? I wasn't planning on drinking, myself, but I'm not about to rain on anyone else's parade.

[Gotetsu]

As long as I have good food, I can do without the booze. Of course, nothing washes down a well-grilled hamburger better then an ice cold brew.

Yeah, I'm all for BBQ with or without sand. Since the water is freezing, the beach is only good for atmosphere. And, like it or not, it's chilling off a little out there nowadays.

I'm fine one way or another, although Gotetsu does raise some valid points.

And may he raise some valid PINTS!

Very little is as appealing to me as a fire at the beach, but I honestly had thought that we should plan for an early afternoon gathering simply because it is getting colder. BlanchPrez doesn't like sand in his bbq. So where's a cool place to have a bbq where we can bring beer? We don't spend much time in parks bbqing :) Anybody got any favorites?

[Gotetsu]

Unca Mord's house?

Honestly, I dunno. I don't bbq much outside of my own back yard either, so I'm kind of at a loss.

Edit: It just occured to me that the area behind the convention center was pretty cool a couple of years ago, ostensibly for the rpg.net meet up. Just an idea.

I really don't think we should hold it at one of the houses while there's still sunshine out there. We're a bigger group now and that's a huge intrusion to a household and a big committment to preparing and cleaning up after. Since I'm patently unwilling to host such a thing, I can't imagine that Unca Mord's wife, what with work and attending some classes herself, will feel any better about it than I do.



I'm sure we can find a nice place.

[Gotetsu]

I was kiddin...mainly because I feel the same way.

Haha, I actually had that thought as well... but it's coastal, so it might be chilly.

[Neuro]

Haha, yeah. And we abuse poor Mord enough by making him a moderator.



What about Lake Poway? It's got fishing, a whole lake, paddleboats, it's pretty. It has bbq stuff...

[mordraine]

Just my .02 -- I'd wanna do it outside at a park or beach or lake or whatever.

I think just 'bout anywhere we do it, folks'll have to take jackets, so I would vote for the Embarcadaro behind Seaport Village. The only issue with that place is parking. It's tight there.

[quote="Neuro"]What about Lake Poway? It's got fishing, a whole lake, paddleboats, it's pretty. It has bbq stuff...[/quote]

Um, how about somewhere we don't have to pay for parking?

[cczernia]

Why not Fiesta Island again. That seemed to work really well.

[mordraine]

[quote="cczernia"]Why not Fiesta Island again. That seemed to work really well.[/quote]

That's good too. Tons of parking.

[Wintermute]

I'm a huge fan of fiesta island.

[cczernia]

[quote="Wintermute"]I'm a huge fan of fiesta island.[/quote]

Well, it seemed to work really well. Why go through all the trouble to find a new location. As long as we remember to keep everything in plastic bottles or cups we should be good.

I object to fiesta island on the grounds that I cannot pee standing up like the lot of you. They don't have proper bathrooms.

I like the Embarcadero...but parking there blows

Fiesta Island has no pee pee place for our better half

Santa Rosa bay park?

Morely Field?

J street Pier?

Torrey Pines Beach or CLiffs?

Pepper Grove in Balboa Park?

Shelter Island...off the side of the pier?

I don't really want supplementary personal equipment. I just want a proper bathroom. And possibly a sink with running water.

Sorry, the wine I drink doesn't come in a plastic bottle and, no Dev, I don't drink the stuff in boxes either...I do have a very nice plastic wine glass though which should do nicely...

Pur your hoity-toity wine into a plastic bottle. Either that, or slum it with the rest of us.



Hey, do they put beer in plastic bottles?

Unfortunately the expectation at any of the beach locations will be no glass containers. I'm sure that most of our drink selections do not come in non-glass containers, but will have to be translpanted in order to be legally had.

Oh, now your really asking for too much.

Alright. If I keep biting my tongue, it's going to bleed.



What the fuck makes you think I give a shit what kind of [i]wine[/i] you drink? Why drag [i]me [/i]into this? Jesus, I haven't even posted a reply to this thread before now! Do you honestly think I'm sitting here smugly quipping "I'll bet that guy drinks [i]box wine![/i]"?



It seems that you think there's some kind of "game" going on between us, some battle of "wits." There isn't. I don't know what in God's name makes you think I'm eagerly lying in wait to take pot shots at you. Whatever it is, let it go. Just let it the fuck [i]go[/i]. That is as nicely as I can put it.

Yeah, we almost got smacked down with a $1000 fee last time.

[Kuld]

I was thinking about Felicita park but it's a $5 fee + $2 per vehicle. It's pretty though, that's where my wedding was a few years ago.

I'd prefer that this went via PM. Or that any other comment regarding this went PM.

Haha. I was thinking of you on my drive home from work, actually. Or of your thread, more to the point. Warmth and light are quickly running out. If y'all wanna meet, gotta pick a place and time.



I think we should have an rpg-sandiego football game or something.
