jmmom coming to Bay Area: we shall gather!

Parent Cafe

<p>OK, it’s official: jmmom will be in the SF Bay Area and for some reason, she wants to get together with some of us! We’ve got the evening of Mon. 10/31 set aside for a CC gathering. Yes yes I know, there’s some annual costume thing going on that day, but schedules are what schedules are, and this is the night we can meet. Costumes are definitely not expected, but we won’t be too surprised if slugg comes in her plastic butt and we’ll try to act as if everything is n-o-r-m-a-l.</p>

<p>The venue is still somewhat up for discussion, but I’ve volunteered to be the point-person out here. I need to hear from any of you who’d like to gather with us: so far slugg and I are up for it, anyone else? </p>

<p>Once I have a set of interested folks (shall we call it The Usual Suspects?), we can move to email and finalize the locale. Looking forward to seeing y’all IRL! (That’s “in real life”; don’t mind me, I’m just showing off my Internet slang knowledge, heh.)</p>

<p>Normally, I would love to but I still have a “little” so I think 10/31 is out. :(</p>

<p>Just make sure someone has a camera.</p>

<p>^^ :eek: </p>

<p>Although it wouldn’t be fair, would it, if only a select few saw the plastic sluggbutt…</p>

<p>Right, take lotsa pictuers and show us!
That sounds like so much fun, too bad I live on the east coas.t
You know, what they oughta do, at the high profile schools where many kids apply, there should be a “CC” booth and everyone who’s a member of this great community could meet. And it could work, because parents are usually there with their kids the day they’re supposed to come (sorry dont know the word of the day) . . and this would be before decisions are out, so even if the kids don’t get in, they could still meet up before choosing never to set foot in the school again if they get rejected</p>

<p>jmmom - that’s why I want the camera. I really NEED to see what I haven’t even managed to imagine. (And I haven’t visited Sinner’s Alley yet tonight.)</p>

<p>Heh… 5 or 6 of us did meet at the MIT Campus Preview Weekend for admitted students in April. It’s fun, I encourage more such activities. :)</p>

<p>I’ve had a request for a non-photographed event, so we may have to do some compromising. jmmom, I’m getting PMs and emails, so not everyone is responding here. Will be in touch with you soon!</p>

<p>Count me in :smiley:
I will also PM you with my email address
Wow!!! sounds like fun!!</p>

<p>Mootmom - I don’t care about photos with identifying features such as faces - I just want to see sluggbugg’s trademark.</p>

<p>Sounds like great fun. Wish we lived closer…well at least in the states. :slight_smile: Enjoy!</p>

<p>Yes, mootmom, costumes optional (discouraged?), cameras discouraged (optional?). We may need to hire bouncers to frisk for such contraband.</p>

<p>Wish I could come! Wave to my D at Berkeley for me :p</p>
