Oh, very cool. Where exactly?

Santa Barbara. I leave on Tuesday(12/23) and get back on Sunday(12/28). Carolyn actually arrives on 12/29.

From:

Hmmm. 2-3 hour drive, and it seems like I see you pretty often around Pittsburgh. We'll see how much free time I have :-)

From:

Interested at all in dinner/hanging-out tonight? See my reply to twizmer below. I'd be driving up around 4:30 or 5, which would get me there probably not earlier than 7:30, given traffic, and heaven knows maybe later. (My mother is trying to discourage me from going at all, but even having not driven in awhile, I suspect my reflexes are still sharper than hers. :-P)

From:

cpride indicates interest as well.

From:

Glorious. Note: I do not have phone numbers or addresses for any of you; my phone number is (310) 809-9044. I need to know where I should find you, and how to reach you when I get there (since I only have a rough estimate of when, because of traffic.) If you guys want to pick a restaurant, that would save me having to think about it, since I don't know what's there. :-)

From:

I am also in SB until 12/24.
And mjrosenb is around too.

From:

Oh, hm. Maybe I should come up and visit everyone in the next day or two. I assume you're all within shouting distance of each other. :-) Is there some reasonable sort of gathering we could all have? Maybe get dinner or something? It's a two-hour drive for me, and I'll have to borrow a car, so I'll have to check when I can get away with that tomorrow [I guess it has to be tomorrow?]

From:

Marty and I live on opposite ends of the block XD.
Dinner is a distinct possibility. Also general hanging out sorts of things.

From:

Ok, I'd go for dinner tonight, since cpride is apparently leaving tomorrow. It's about a 2 hour drive for me, and gmaps says 3+hours in traffic. So I would probably be heading up starting around 4:30 or 5 (I can't any earlier because of an appointment), and then have dinner and/or hang out, and head back maybe around 9:30ish. How do people [you, Marty, cpride who I will reply to above] feel about dinner in the resulting window?

From:

fwiw I think coming up from LAX on a monday, my dad's experience has been like 2.5ish.

I'm game for dinner if I'm awake and alive then.

From:

Hm, I think I am out of visiting-time. :-\ Will I see you back in Pittsburgh, I hope? Or are you gone now?

From:

::poke::

From:

Hi! ^_^ Are you around here for-permanent these days? Whereabouts are you? Want to get coffee or something? :-)

From:

I'm living in Hawthorne, and house-sitting in Redondo, so I'm all around. Coffee sounds great, let me see what my work schedule this week looks like?

From:

Hey, I realized we didn't get together last week -- how about this week? Today is good, tomorrow is good but at some point I'm leaving for a new years' party, and Thursday is good once I get back. (I leave for Pittsburgh early Friday afternoon.)

From:

I'm babysitting in Long Beach today, and tomorrow I'm here until mid-afternoon, when I have to race to be at my restaurant by 4pm. Thursday I have nothing, so rather than try to meet way late or squeeze something in before New Years, do you want to call me when you get back Thursday, and we can meet up then?

From:

Sure! What's your number?

From:

310 . 901 . 70 84
