Subject: California Alumni Fest Author: Connie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:17:36 07/11/02 Thu < >> Well Cat, glad ya asked...I have a question to pose to y'all. See, we were originally thinking of doing it April 4-6 because Easter is on April 20th. Which means the weekend after April 4-6 (which is April 11-13...are you following this?) is the beginning of Easter Week, for those with kiddies who have the week before Easter off from school! Now, we've run into some potential attendee conflicts with the weekend of April 4-6. So....my question is this. Does the fact that April 11-13 is the beginning of Easter week make it a *good* weekend, or a *bad* weekend for folks? Good in that it's easier to bring the family and make it a longer vacation for all, or bad in that you'll have to rush home after the weekend to watch the kids? Or do you really not care either way because a) you don't have kids or b) you would only stay the weekend either way? My main concern with April 11-13 is that (being the start of Easter week) it would probably mean more crowds, and possibly higher prices for hotel rooms. Then again, every weekend in April is part of Spring Break for SOME school or another (seems the colleges all do Spring Breaks different weeks now) so maybe it really doesn't matter one way or another! Considering all of the above, which is a better weekend for most? April 4-6 or April 11-13? Lemme know your thoughts! Oh, and I should let you know that at the moment the preferred location is the Sheraton Universal...which is not only part of Universal Studios and the Universal CityWalk shopping mall, but has a bit of Roller history as the lads actually stayed there! Which makes it a good "first stop" on our planned tour of famous L.A. Roller-related sites! :o) Now, if someone can just tell me where Sharon has gotten off to...no fair dragging me into this and disappearing, woman!!!! Your butt's gonna be right here in the hot seat with mine!! LOL! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

That means we may get to hang again soon! It's been too long since i've seen your smiling face. Wish you were going to Blast. Maybe Dunc's will do a gig or 2 while they're out here. L.A's not too far! (NT) -- Brat, 11:11:38 07/12/02 Fri Well, you already know April 11-13 works better for me, so let me publicly cast my vote. (NT) KathyF 12:48:58 07/12/02 Fri April 11-13 is my first choice though I'll still come if it's the other weekend. Just found out today that my in utero roller fan is a GIR! yay! I'll be happy to bring her to the fest too ;-) (NT) Colleen (aka wylma) 15:00:02 07/12/02 Fri Woo hoo!!! A sister for Lady Vi! :oD Congrats again! (NT) Connie 15:40:36 07/12/02 Fri Wow- great news about your baby Colleen, sisterhood rocks! Connie, I'm ok with both of those weekends as far as I know. Did I tell y'all that the kids and I are coming to Disneyland July 23-31? WOuldn't you know it- I think Brat is gonna be away at Rollerblast then!! Waahhhhh.... (NT) Helen 12:34:33 07/13/02 Sat Hi, Connie! I prefer the earlier weekend in April, for exactly the reasons you describe. We usually go away over Easter w/my husband's kids and end up being gone both weekends w/them, since they don't live w/us and we don't get to see them much. I'm dying to do this CA thing, esp. since my Aussie pals down under are going to try to come too!! (NT) LauraR (who is carrying a boy - due in 8 weeks!!) 03:34:25 07/16/02 Tue That is most definitely the plan - and all you guys will you be bringing the new babies along as well. It's been years since I had anything to do with babies. I think I've forgotten most of it. April the whatever suits me. Can we please have a show of hands for all the Aussies planning on coming. I heard a whisper from another Aussie who isn't called Sonia or Aly. SuzanneR, Sharon, got any plans for next April???? (NT) -- Sonia, 16:46:31 07/30/02 Tue Ahhh Just catching the tail end of this message... Val (southsioux) 07:22:21 07/29/02 Mon
