There is some understandable excitement over the fourth annual GangsterBB Weekend which has me wondering... Since I am unable to attend because of the fact that I am on the opposite coast as the party, how many of you are on the west coast? The only person I have seen talk about California (where I'm from) is Italian Stallionette. I'm sure we're not the only two. Who else is out there?

As Don Cardi suggested, it would be fun to possibly start a west coast party as well. Maybe show those Easterners how to REALLY party

Off the top of my head, the people from our end of the country besides myself and Bibble are: Saladbar (who is in your area Bibble), Don Corpuzzi, Zia. I know Don Colletti is also, but he's not posting too much, and I swear there was a member or two from the San Diego area. Of course TB is in Arizona, which is right next door. There may be more from the Western states, and not just CA, I don't know.

I'd be willing to participate in arranging a meet if enough others are interested. Actually, I was thinking Vegas would be a great spot. We'd all have to travel, but not that far, and Vegas....what can I say, I love it! I do plan to go in July one way or another.

It's funny I came to view this. It is great to be remembered TIS! Well, yes I live in a suburb of San Diego.

Colletti,

Nice to see you back.



Did you ad your location to the member map? Check it out.

TIS

Is it possible you were fathered by DE NIRO on his trip there last year?

Hey Manic, I didn't realize that you were an Aussie. Do you follow golf at all ? You guys have been climbing in the world rankings over the past few years.

nah dont follow golf..the only aussie golfer i remember was greg norman aka the shark..he was a champ

We have a member named Liz-95 (or something like that). I believe she is from Australia also. She doesn't post a lot lately, but pops in from time to time.

Btw, welcome Manicmontana!

I'm in Santa Monica. But I don't think I'll make it to anything, I've got a busy year ahead of me, I already have too many trips, plus school, LSATs, and other stuff. I was already talking about this with TIS, it's a bummer. But let me know if anything works out with you guys, and I'll see if maybe I can make it. Don't count on me though, it's not likely.

You little social butterfly you!!! We'll meet up one day Zia.

I'm surprised you haven't ran into Corpuzzi. He's more or less in your area.

TIS

I'm not a West Coaster, but I do grace the state of California with my presence quite a few times a year. In fact, I'm headed out there this Saturday for 10 days!

Good for you XDCX! I forgot what part of CA your GF live in. O.C.? We have had cloudy weather last week but it's suppose to be sunny and around 70ish the next few days.

I hope you enjoy your stay. Look me up if you're in Riverside Co.

TIS

LSATs??? UGH!! I used to help out some of the people taking them when I taught at Kaplan Test Prep. Logical reasoning! It gives me shudders!!

More than more or less, actually... we go to the same school.

SB, I'm totally not looking forward to it. Any tips?

XDC, have a nice time! I hope our weather doesn't let you down.

Thanks Zia and TIS!

TIS, my girlfriend resides in Santa Ana, which isn't too far from Orange or Anaheim.

Speaking of Anaheim, that's where I'll be staying for my visit (it's technically the city of Orange, but I can see Angel's Stadium from where I'll be at.)

There's a nice little Chinese restaurant down Chapman Avenue. Probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. They fill those containers to the point of BURSTING with rice and lo mein, plus whatever entree you ordered. And the prices are hella cheap.

TIS, my girlfriend has an aunt who lives in Riverside. Who knows...you two may have met before!

XDCX,

I use to live in Santa Ana when I first moved to CA (Tustin, then Santa Ana). It's been a while since I've been to OC, but I am familiar somewhat with Chapman Ave. Although I've passed Angel Stadium many times, I was there only once, years ago, for a ballgame, if you can believe that (since I'm far from a sports fan :o. It was for the 4th of July and I mainly went to see the spectacular fireworks, but "had" to sit through the game. Ha ha ha!!

I am in Riverside County, but live in Corona right on the OC/Riverside border.

Anyway, I hope you get to see a lot of sites and have a good time during your stay. Take pictures and post them so everyone here can see just how beautiful this state is.

TIS
