Well I've missed a few gatherings here in San Diego, Was wondering if anyone would like to help set one up for the near future. I'm thinking March or April at a San Diego Bay with some BBQ (island style) and soft drinks...etc. Let me know~!:shaka:
im the one that has put together the last three "san diego represent" get togethers. i love putting them together, but its just so much work. and the band has been super busy. that along with the other things that go on in my life make it hard to think about setting another one up.
so if you are planning to start one up, PLEASE DO. it would be awesome. only advice i can give you is try to cover as many corners as you can, and people will come.
location
time/date
parking
ammenities
children
food/drinks
weather
bonfire or not
build it and they will come.

How about a BBQ/Jam Sesh at Rohr Park? The ideal setup would be to reserve section R-3. Any other area would be too big or too small.The rental fee for residents of Chula Vista is $90 with a $75 Deposit. For non-residents it's $180 for the rental with a $75 deposit. Maybe we could have a resident/group of residents front the cost and pass around a bucket at the actual event for people to drop some cash in. If we go over the rental fee, somebody (preferably a dedicated organizer ::cough::Nuke::cought: could save the overage for the next get together. $90 is chump change if we have a group pay for it. We could play some football or basketball. It would be an all day thing. How's that sound? :shaka:

things to think about when doing it indoors:
1. if it is a store, we have to make it worthwhile to the establishment. the moonlight strummers do it in a pizza joint. they pay to come, but they get pizza and drinks.
2. if it is a hall, someone would have to come up with the funds to rent the place. again, for that to work, everyone in attendance would have to chip in.
3. do you wanna charge the participants to participate?
this is the major reason why i did them outdoors. people that wanted to bring something did. and we always had enough to go around. people that couldnt afford to chip in could still participate.
