Hey Jude! sure, give me an email and we will get together one of these days! If I have some notice, I can swing it! It would be fun to share thoughts over the LC thing!
And what is 'PM?' (I keep thinking it's close to PMS, but probably wrong, right??? Ha!)
Hope your day is going well! Deb

That's a noble idea, but it might be crazy busy. That = bad parking and looong wait for a table, especially witha large group. So the 13th might be a better choice.

The cake only serves 12, so if you bring your SO, you might have to share your piece.

Karen

PM is Private Message, Deb...you should be VERY close to having access to that, it's at 25 posts you get that, I think...

Can't email you without an email address (and that's definitely NOT a good idea on a public forum, spambots collect 'em; matter of fact I'm pretty sure it's verboten, per the rules).

So PM me as soon as you can to give me your email address in a secure form (or I'll PM you so you get notified)...OR you can go to my webpage as in my signature block, there's an email link you can use there...k?

Whoooooeeeeee, that does look fine, Karen! Pastry cream?

Doh! Just found out that I have a work event that may run me a bit late on the 13th. Probably won't wrap up until 7:30 or 8-ish. So, if it's the 11th or 12th, I can make it, and if it's the 13th I might have to miss out (or is it the type of place that I can sneak in late and have something small at?)

Wynter

Gotcha, Jude! I emailed you on your website.....hopefully it worked! If you don't see anything, let me know on this and I"ll figure something else out! Deb

Okay, looks like it will be the 13th. That's okay with me cuz in a few hours I'm on vacation -- whoop!

Wynter - I'm sure it's fine if you're a bit late - it's for 7pm so if you're there for around 7:30 you won't be far behind! Karen's bringing dessert - I'm sure we won't have demolished it by then

BTW, my DH knows that there's absolutely NO sharing of LC desserts

see you all on the 13th

Just put it in my calendar...

Ladies, I am there!
No SO, though, that's his night out!

I wasn't thinking -- DH works on Thursday nights so he won't be able to come, anyway.

Looks like I'm flying solo that night

See you folks on the 13th! Nicole, I'll be in touch!

Thanks Jeanyy for nudging me in my journal. I'd love to see everyone & meet new lc'ers.

SYL,

Ruthie

I'm not too familiar with the Commercial area shops so I thought I'd arrive around 4:30 and look around before dinner. One thing I plan to do for sure is buy a 1 Liter bottle of Colavita Olive Oil at Santa Barbara grocery store for a good price.

Does anyone want to join me or have some "must see" places for me?

Ruth

I just thought I would mention that I am not 100% sure I'll make it. Still having sore throat issues and while I am working, I think it would be foolish to push my luck (plus I don't want to pass this on to any of you). So I'll see how I'm feeling on Thursday and decide then.
