Jai, sdram44, njtea5, and AnnieCoyote...i have added you guys to the list for contact....Annie, let me know when you are back in the Bay Area....looks like we have about 10 people, so it should be a good turnout.....anyone have preference on either June 22 or June 29, both Fridays.....i seem to be the only one from the south bay, so we can make the restaurant either up in SF or the East Bay.......let me know your preferences......should be fun....~

Bay Area MeetUp for Cblog & PBH scheduled for June 29, 2007 Lets make the first BayArea Cblog/BPH MeetUp on Friday night, June 29, 2007 at 7:00pm-ish, up in San Francisco. The Colombian restaurante El Majahual is the location where we can get something to eat and drink. The address is 1142 Valencia St, SF CA 94110, 415-821-7514.....www.forored.com/Majahual is their website....go to www.mapquest.com if you need directions from your location. ...not sure of where parking is good, since it is SF, but maybe BillyB can advise......we parked in the middle of the street last time he and i went there.....?? First Round is on Me! =)

PS Just let me know if you will be going so i can "warn" the restaurant in advance.....=)

if you need additional info, contact me at miguelclavo at aol.com.....

Parkng there, like anywhere in SF, is... iffy, but there are parking garages in the area and you can always park in the median on Valencia.

Shame on the rest.... only three have signed up for this meetup! I am a little perplexed as to what so few people signed up. I mean - most of you folks do put in time, effort and thought to write stuff consistently at this site. I just read, but I did sign up for the event.
Miguel Clavo -- he put in effort and passion to organize a meeting in San Francisco (good location). After El Majahual, we all can slide our butts and go to El Rio ...it is close by.
Come on ..... don't be a bunch of pussies - mark the day in your calendar and click that meetup link.
Suggestion to Miguel : perhaps meeting at Majahual at 8:30 would work better for most folks - they can do the 4 S's and then come to SF when there is no traffic.
First round of drinks is on Miguel, second on me. Any takers for the next single digit (sarcastic remark) positions ? I will the take all the double digit positions (11, 12,..) if we ever reach that number (only for bloggers on this post (friends, etc excluded)).
BTW, something about me : I am Indian (as from India). Have been to Colombia 12 or 13 times. Love you guys 'n gals posts.
Let's see how many turn up !

Between PBH, Cblog, and MeetUp, about 12 people have emailed that they will attend....i will email the people who signed up about a week in advance just to remind everyone. Next week Billyb and I will be conducting the appropriate "recon" work and "quality check" the food there and give the "PBH Seal of Approval" to the beer, wine, and mixed drinks at some of the nearby bars. We will have to check out El Rio as well.....regarding the scheduled time, it is 7 pm-ish, so if people want to arrive at 8-8:30, please feel free to....i will be there around 7ish, and i am sure people will still be there at 8:30...i know i will, sitting down, drinking beerrsssssssss....jajajaj

Lisa Zee...........southwest flights are still cheapppppp......
