1. I'd love to go to a restaurant
Make sure they take reservations and that they can let us hang out for a while. :)

2. I like the idea of a picnic
The ones we had years ago were really fun and it gave people a chance to wander around and talk to everyone.

3. Where was the earlier picnic?
I'm on the fence, leaning slightly to a restaurant location near BART so that we can entice more of those city people to cross the bay.

5. We had two picnics
in Golden Gate Park years ago. Pot luck barbecues. They were lots of fun.

18. Lindley Meadow
was the spot I reserved. I think it was tables 8 & 9. Good memory! It seemed like a long time ago...

8. I'd be happier not going all the way into the City
And parking there sounds like a BEAR.

The east bay, Marin, or CoCo would be better for me. :)

11. Both Tilden and Briones have Picnic tables and BBQ pits

http://www.ebparks.org/parks/briones

Briones is a first come first serve .
Tilden needs reservations .. But I think
you can have wine and beer at Tilden .
Tilden is also very Dog Friendly.

14. Berkeley/Oakland area sounds great
Edited on Fri Mar-27-09 12:25 PM by wryter2000
There are great parks in the Oakland hills, too.

The dh and I were married in Roberts Park. (We had a keg there, and no one had a problem.) There's Redwood Park, too. Parking can be an issue in Berkeley, too.

16. Kickin' to stimulate discussion of a final location.
I'm inclined to vote for Tilden or GGPark because they have good mass transit access.

What do others think?

19. Hi , I'm back from Arizona
and am tempted just to have people over to my
house for a BBQ at this point .

PM me if interested in coming to my house .
I am close to the Concord Bart Station .
both spiderpig or myself can shuttle people
from bart.

I've had a few PM cancelations while I was in Arizona.

I'm just burnt out on planning at this point .

I have a big pork roast and can make chili verde
and some rice .

I can make a big batch of ice tea .

people can bring anything they want to share .

25. Okay due to low response , I'm postponing this
perhaps memorial weekend or June will be better for people .

to the 2 who rvsp'd you are still welcome as always
but it'll just be me .

and we are looking at dinner being done closer to the evening .

keep your eyes open for another gathering in the next month
or so .

I'm going to keep this up until I can get a big group.

my best
Trish
