Attention LA DUers: California Recall Party Oct. 7th!! (keep kicked)

[Emboldened Chimp]

Come join us at Father's Office on 1018 Montana Ave. in Santa
Monica for a raucous celebration in honor of the (hopefully)
soon-to-be defeated recall election. Or at the very least, we
can drown our sorrows together! Either way, this will be a
great opportunity to meet fellow LA-area DUers.

Zhade, Shance and myself were recently discussing how bored we
were one night, and it ended with the idea that we should try
to get DUers in the LA area together. What occasion is more
perfect than recall election night? It would be really cool
to get as many people together that night so we can all meet.

If Father's Office is inconvenient for people who want to go, let us know on this thread and we'll try to find another place.

So for now...

Where: Father's Office 1018 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica
When: October 7, 2003
Time: 7:30 pm - ???

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. I'll be there

Can I bring anything?

[Emboldened Chimp]

2. I don't know

Father's Office is a bar, so whatever you can bring to bar is cool!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. oops my bad!

Should know that..it's right around the corner from my home away from home...so it's behind Von's on Monatana? Same side of the street?

[Emboldened Chimp]

7. I forget where exactly

But I think you're right, it's on the same side as Vons.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

8. You Got It

Actually, it might be a few blocks east of Vons on Montana, but it's right around there.

DTH

[lazarus]

3. How far is this

from San Diego?

[Emboldened Chimp]

4. Well, it's Los Angeles...

so however long it takes you to get here from there.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

6. Father's Office Is Beer and Wine Only

But I'll try to make it anyway, my fondness for vodka notwithstanding. :D

DTH

[Emboldened Chimp]

9. You can suggest somewhere else if you want

I like Vodka, too! Tequila, especially.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

10. We Could Go Gaslite

It's familiar to quite a few here, who've attended Dean Meetups. It's not far at all from Father's Office, and slightly closer to the freeway for any out-of-towners.

Gaslite is right around 20th and Wilshire, FYI.

DTH

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Or that bar on the top floor of Raddisson

[Emboldened Chimp]

13. Where's the Raddisson?

[Emboldened Chimp]

12. Yeah, I went to the meetup last time there

I called and they said they have Karaoke at 9. Might be too distracting when trying to follow results, chatting, etc.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

14. Good Point

We could do Toppers (I think that's the bar NSMA was talking about).

DTH

[Emboldened Chimp]

15. Is that in SM?

And where are all the other LA DUers?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

16. Dunno :-)

Toppers is at the top of the Radisson, I believe, right on the beach in Santa Monica.

DTH

[Emboldened Chimp]

17. I'll look into it this afternoon...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Yeah that's the place!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. Are we still supposed to keep this kicked?

[Emboldened Chimp]

19. Yeah

I also asked Skinner to post on the homepage, which he said he'd do. I don't think he has yet.

[Zhade]

21. I'll be there!

I can't wait to meet some of my fellow DUers! I crave activist contact so badly.

Let's beat this recall!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

22. I Will Be Late

I just remembered I have a business dinner that evening. But if you'll be there until 9, I should be able to make it!

DTH

[Emboldened Chimp]

23. It starts at 7:30, so I'm sure we'll be there until then at least

And I'll change the venue in the thread once Skinner gets it on the home page. We're doing Toppers at the Radisson, then?

[Emboldened Chimp]

24. Another Venue Suggestion

Irish Times on National in West LA.

[realFedUp]

25. You may be there for a couple of days...

counting the absentee ballots will take awhile..

[A-Schwarzenegger]

26. So the location's not set?

[Gingersnap]

27. I posted in the Activism and Events thread too

but any possibility of having a Hollywood/Los Feliz/Silverlake meeting? Santa Monica's a bitch to get to from the eastside during traffic. :sad:

[PurityOfEssence]

34. Oh, piffle; I'll drive, if you want a lift

That's the end of rush hour anyway.

[Gingersnap]

36. Thanks for the offer, we'll have to have one of these again

when I can make it. I don't think I can go because I fly to Mexico City the next morning at 7 and still have a deadline to meet and to pack tomorrow. I thought that MAYBE if it were in the neighborhood, I could stop by for a little while.

Let's do another LA gathering soon. Have fun y'all.

[newyawker99]

28. kick

:kick:

[DoveTurnedHawk]

29. HEY MANCO, Please Make an Executive Decision

We need to firm up our choice of location. Thanks. :-)

DTH

[Emboldened Chimp]

30. Okay, here it goes...

We'll go with the original spot, Father's Office, if only because some people have seen only the main text of the thread. I don't want anyone to show up there and have us be somewhere else. Cool?

[DoveTurnedHawk]

32. Fine With Me

See you there, albeit late!

Am laid up with bronchitis. It's a case of "thank you for *not* sharing," microbe-wise.

Hoist one for me, though! :toast:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

45. Well if I have to get up and put some pants on and hitchhike

over there I want to know a few peoples
