I have no conflicting plans either but I don't know how much leave I will have (or if I need it). It would be nice to stay near each other, but not enough to put any burden on you, Pix. I would say just give us some recommendations and we can figure the rest out ourselves.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

I was thinking about the weekend of July 18-19 if that sounds okay to everyone.
It’s no burden on me—it’s more just that I don’t know if we have enough people to get a block of rooms somewhere, and I know that money can be tricky. Maybe we can pick a couple of hotel options and people can make a choice based on that.

I’m just going to put a list of hotel options in the Santa Monica area in a range of prices ($150 is as low as we’re going to get in that area; the Ambrose is “midrange” at $319) that don’t sound bad as per their tripadviser reviews, but I haven’t stayed at any of them. And then I’ll leave this for now. But let me know what you all think about that weekend. And if it’s good, let’s plan on July 18-19 to gather.

I'll put this on my calendar. Not sure if financials will work out (given we are able to buy a house here) but maybe I can work out a work/personal trip to the Bay Area and drive down. But having dates means I can start working on this.

I'll block those dates off, too.
Thank you, Pix, for doing all of this. I really want to be there if I can.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have a potential concert that weekend. Now I have to think.

Our wings are not tired.
The date sounds good here.

The dates should work for me, whether I'm in my current position or another.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Will mark the dates, and hope I can attend.
