The 4th Los Angeles Meetup event will be the Great American Wiknic held at Pan-Pacific Park on June 25, 2011, and organized by User:Fuzheado and User:Howcheng. Plans are still gestating.
What, Where, When, and How?
What: Picnic!
Where: Pan-Pacific Park [ info ] [ map ]
When: Saturday, June 25, 2011, all day
PLEASE NOTE: Pan-Pacific Park gets busy with picnickers and barbecuers, so we need some plucky volunteers to get there as early as possible to hold some tables, preferably with a grill, but if someone wants to bring a (medium or large) grill, then we can afford to be less picky.
Details
Sorry this has been a little disorganized. With three / one ZERO(!) days to go, we need have some sort of plan! The park is pretty large, so let's plan to find tables/grills at the north end (closer to Beverly Blvd). We are going to need food, drinks, utensils, and dishware. If nobody can get there early in the morning—say by 9:30 AM (I can't, I'm coming from Ventura County)—then we will need someone to bring a grill because those tables will likely be taken by others. We should also have signs or something so that we can recognize each other. :) Also, it would be nice to get a better headcount than just "possible" because people bringing food will need to know how much. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 23:37, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I should arrive around noon Tinkermen (talk) 03:48, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
I Itsnotinstalled (talk) plan to arrive between 9 - 9:30 to reserve the table(s), I'll shoot for the north, but according to the satellite photos it looks like there's a nice covered area on the west side so I'll grab what looks nicer, and worst-case scenario it looks like there's grills at the south end, so just start at north and work your way down.
- OK, we are go for tomorrow (or technically, it's today)! Here's my photo: http://www.facebook.com/howcheng, and my Google Voice number is 805-380-5128 (forwards to my mobile phone) in case anyone gets lost. Oh, and I'll probably be there around 11:00. howcheng {chat} 08:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- OK, and I've got stickty 3 1/3" x 4" nametags with individual QR Codes PRINTED(!) for all the Likelys and Possibles ready to go, so look for those and ask for those if you're one of them! Itsnotinstalled (talk)
