Miguel_Clavo says on Apr 19, 2007, 15:12: San Diego is next to the US border with Mexico, in Southern Califoria......We refer to the Bay Area as the communities surrounding the San Francisco Bay in Northern California.....California is almost like two separate states, and there is always talk about cutting it in half..the capital is Sacramento in northern cal, but most live in So Cal....but southern California can not survive without the water we send down to them via the California Aguaduct......some say that is where our waste water goes....hahahaha...from where i live in San Jose, the fastest i have made it to LA is about 5 1/2 hours, flying really really low in my car! =) "I would rather die living life, than to live a dying life."........

Miguel_Clavo says on Apr 19, 2007, 15:45: I went on CB only the 1 time i registered for it and have not been back since....i will have to check it out, but i read somewhere there is alot of "manhaters" there? Being you are familiar with CB, any merit to that? I dont mean to turn this into a CB-bashing post, however....i just dont have any experience with CB...

billyb says on Apr 19, 2007, 15:51: I wouldn't say manhaters... opinionated maybe;) but nothing out of hand. The thing is that there's a couple of vendettas going on, so you have to take everything you hear about it with a grain of salt.

Miguel_Clavo says on Apr 25, 2007, 23:57: No, WCG...everyone is welcome...we have several options on where to meet, depends on where most of the people are coming from....in the South Bay we can go to Rinconcitos in San Jose, a family from Medellin owns it, Microllo knows of some Colombian eateries or danceclubs in the East Bay and San Francisco, etc.....if most of the people are from the North Bay, i dont mind driving up there...i just dont know of any places to go there.....real casual,just a get together with Colombian being the common denominator...food and/or drinks....milk for some, i would imagine...=)...i want to let the thread run a while, to see what kind of interest and where everyone would be departing from, so we can set a date/time/location etc....and LZ, Southwest flights are cheap, cheap, cheap....you could even be home by bedtime! jajajaj....
