L.A GTG on 10/17- We''re heading to the beach!

[ChargerGrrl]

The awesome LaurenThePartier is heading West this month, so it''s a great opportunity to welcome her to our fair city and gather for a GTG in Santa Monica!

We''re meeting on Saturday, October 17th at 11a at the Starbucks near 26th & Wilshire (2525 Wilshire Blvd). We''ll hang here just long enough to meet up, and then we''ll head over to this gem of a store - 23rd Street Jewelers.

There''s a number of eateries nearby (California Chicken Cafe, The Shack), where we can nosh on some lunch afterwards.

Who''s in?

 

[TravelingGal]

Have fun ladies, and LTP, welcome to California!!!

 

[ChargerGrrl]

bumpity-bump

I KNOW there''s other L.A-area PSers out there!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thank you, ChargerGrrl - I'm so excited to meet you guys!!!!

TGal, sorry I won't get to meet you, but I know where you stand on meets.

We'll take pics!

 

[Selkie]

I''m 95% sure I''ll be there! Looking forward to it!

 

[Skippy123]

Yay, have fun

Can''t wait to see pics wooohooo, fun fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jjc]

Oh, that sounds fun, and I live maybe 2 minutes from 23rd Street. But, two problems:
1) no bling yet of which to speak (or share!)
2) I''ll be downtown on the 17th getting on the way to fixing problem 1

Have fun ladies, and can''t wait to see pics! And LTP, hope you enjoy all of your planned culinary excursions as well!

 

[zhuzhu]

OMG! I am DYING to join you gals! Unfortunately I am leaving very early the next day morning for a business trip...

Have a super time! and I look forward to the next southCA GTG!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Yay, Selkie! That''s awesome!!! I''m so glad you''re able to make it!!!!

Skippy, I will get out to ABQ soon! I will definitely let you know when I do!

JJC,

. . . I can''t wait to see an update from you! You''re going to be downtown on the 17th working on some bling . . . what''s downtown if you don''t mind me asking? I have 4 days in LA, so I plan on hitting as many places as possible.

ZhuZhu, sorry we''ll miss you, but have fun on your business trip! Or, as much fun as you can possibly have traveling for work.

 

[EricaR]

I''m going to try and make it, but there is a 50% chance that I''ll need to work. The project I''ve been working on goes live over that weekend, and I won''t know for sure until that morning.

Oooh, Singlestone! That''s a thought, maybe if we feel the need to kill more time, we could head over there after 23rd Street!

Woah!

Just to be safe, somebody should probably call and make sure someone will be there to accomodate the PS crew, Patti hurt her knee and was out of the showroom for a little while. We all know SS will need to be prepared for the voracious bling-appetites of all you lovely ladies!

If you see someone hyperventilating in the little room with Ari, that'll be me, trying to pick out our engagement ring stone...!!!

Maybe I'll end up being able to participate in the GTG after all!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Good point, JJC. I guess I should call 23rd street to warn them, as well!

 

[LollyBear]

I know I'm not on much anymore, but I want to go too! Especially if LTP is bringing any of her awesome bling.

Hopefully DH and DD will cooperate and let me out of the house.

This is still on - meeting at the S''buck''s at 26th & Wilshire @ 11:00. We''ll walk over to 23rd about 30 minutes later.

I don''t know what I should bring - any requests?

LOL. I''ll see how many I can cram into my bag.

I''m definitely bringing the Spess as I''m wearing a ton of orange lately, and I''ll probably bring one of the LOGR Legacies (step cut BE Pad, which is sort of a cheat).

By the way, I have a new D90. . . trying to get used to it so we can get decent pics, but I''ll likely break out the SD400 for macro pics. No macro glass for the D90 just yet.

P.S. - Hope I didn''t offend anyone with the above comment, I genuinely meant that I hope you ladies get as much enjoyment out of the day as possible

 

[LollyBear]

Darn! As much as I want to meet you ladies and see all the bling, I don''t think you guys want to share in the nasty stomach bug I''m suffering with. :0(
Tomorrow is going to be a gorgeous day and I hope you have lots of fun and take TONS of pictures!
