Hi, Perkins! I have been a shamefully antisocial Buffista since moving back to LA and haven't seen anyone, but I am attempting to do better in the back half of 09. I wish I could've let people know I'd be around sooner but all the plans only just came together this morning. But I will probably be working more closely with people in our Oakland office over the next couple of months, so I'm likely to be up that way again soon.
Oh, also thank you for the suggested activities, Java Cat, and for the kind offer to be my Oakland tour guide. If I have time, I will definitely do some perusing of the surroundings. The koi pond sounds like a winner.
oops, I think I read that wrong.
I hope I get to see you on one of your trips!
can't do it this Tuesday, but if you are going to be up more often there is another chance
In case anyone's plans change, P-C and I will be meeting Kat at Le Cheval in downtown Oakland at 6:30. Just send me an email, and I'll add you to the reservation.
I wish I could make it (just received your email, megan), but I have to go pick my dogs up after work tomorrow night and get them some exercise before I drive the 40 miles home and crash. I look forward to meeting Kat on one of her next trips! And I heartily endorse Le Cheval!
Man, I hope Megan Walker shows up this time.
Aw, I've never been to La Cheval, though I hear it's great. Unfortunately, despite the OTC remedies I have been steadily ingesting, I am at tat unfortunate stage when laughter sets off a coughing fit. And if there's one thing I can be sure of, meeting buffistas will be an occasion of laughter.
I hope I get another chance to meet you before too long, kat! Meanwhile, I am very much enjoying your blog.
What a shame--I WAS in Oakland, and I'm leaving out of the Oakland AIRPORT shortly...just missing Kat! :)
Aww, I missed meara and -t and beth and javachick. Spectacularly bad timing on my part.
But also spectacularly good timing because I just got to have coffee with Java cat and Connie, both of whom are crazy cool women and lovely to hang out with on a brisk July day. Connie and I got to see Java cat's postcards from the F2F with my favorite being the cowboy hot tub, though they were all pretty fab. And just in general a good time was had by . . . well, me at least. Thanks for hanging out. And tonight I will see megan and PC which rocks.
