I must've skimmed over the visit from Shir, but if you are in Bay Area, I'd love to meet up with you and the local gang.
If you want a day or night to chill out at a Stinson Beach cottage, let me know, and I can see if my friends' cottage is free. It's a great place for a day time pot luck, too.
I need a house and cat sitter for roughly the last two weeks of June. My goal is someone who is happy to be in a nice house in San Rafael, Marin County, for free. If I find such a person, I may expand my own trip in both directions (leave earlier, come back later). At a minimum, I need June 18 or 19 to July 1 or 2. Know anyone? Profile address.
The cats have a morning and evening curfew, and neighbor/friends are very helpful with evening curfew if/when housesitter is away all day.
San Rafael is about 15 miles north across the Golden Gate from SF. Sonoma and Napa are 45-60 minutes away. Berkeley about 15 miles away. Transit center is a 10-15 minute walk. Bike available.
Java cat, she doesn't post here much anymore, but I bet Spidra Webster (Megan Lynch) might be interested. She loves the bay area and can't afford to get up here very often. If you're not connected with her let me know.
You’re welcome in May, Shir, but I’ll be working Mon-Fri and will have a lot less time to play tour guide. I won’t be able to drive up to SF with you, alas.
Scrappy, I'm sorry I missed you.
Shir, I hope I have a chance to meet you in just a few weeks.
aurelia, shrift, other Chicago-istas, any suggestions where to get together tomorrow afternoon?
dcp, any restrictions/preferences?
Couple of suggestions:
XOCO: [link]
Hub 51: [link]
Petterino's: [link]
Heaven on Seven: [link]
Lou Malnati's: [link]
I haven't had pizza here yet. How about Malnati's?
Shir, I will be in Ireland May 1-15, but I will be available and happy to see you anywhere on the South-eastern seaboard after that. And congrats on the new job!
Just tell me where and when and I'll get there.
Java - thank you! Would you like me to send you the link to the spreadsheet? If so, to which email?
Thank you, Pix, Zen, and aurelia. I'm looking forward to meet you too.
