You shoulda called me! Here I sat, all alone last night in San Diego!

I'm just jerking your chain- I was too tired to even walk down the street to Hamilton's. I got here at 6:10 (early enough), but I had awoken at 3 AM to drive to the airport and catch an early flight. No sleep on the plane, of course, and by the time I got the rental car and was on my way it was 7:30 (9:30 'my time') and I ended up with an instant soup and a cup of tea and one cold beer brougth from home before crawling into bed at 10. It was almost a steady 24 hours that I was going, and I was wiped out.

I'm staying in a cool little cottage that used to be an art studio in the back of someone's house in North Park, right on the edge of South Park, near Juniper Street, if you happen to be in the area. You have my number, so just call/text if you want me to buy you a beer.

So excited for NHC this year...


Anyone up for lunch at Pt. Loma Seafood on Thursday?

Maybe me. I'm not judging unless they are totally desperate for judges, and I will know by later tomorrow. I was planning on judging, but they didn't have my name down so when the coordinator did contact me, I had already thought about my freedom that day and really don't want to judge unless I'm really needed.

I'm LOVING San Diego, and I have a lot to pack in in only 11 days!

I would love Pt Loma for lunch- I dont' know if I'll make it otherwise. I have a car that seats four.

Since you have a car, are you planning on venturing up to north county area at all?

CA_Mouse +1 confirmed for the Tour.

Headcount is currently at 29 so I have about 6 seats open.

Been busy the past week and not able to check in, but will plan on bring $30, extra cash and my wits for a 5:00, or earlier, meet up on Wednesday. I should be rolling in to town around 2pm that afternoon.

Yooper, I am in for a shirt if it ends up happening. I usually wear a medium or large, depends on the sizing, probably safer to say large.

If I didn't have a beer tasting dinner Thursday night, between keynote and pro-night, I might join in on that lunch, but I think THAT would be too much, even for me!! :drunk:

Soper, don't hold me to that +1. If there is someone that needs the seat, I'm sure that my friend can arrange to meet us at some point, seeing as they live in SD it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, that would be great I think. Do you have my number? It's the same. I have yours, if it hasn't changed from last year.

I went to Torrey Pines and La Jolla yesterday (Karl Strauss) and O'brien's and then with the soper tour we're going to Miramar on Wednesday.

I also went to Mike Hess', and Hamilton's (where I met a cool guy who is the brewer at Monkey Paw) and got 'home' quite late last night. I took a walk with @toast26 and his friend, and I think the second trip through the canyon was a bit much for those youngsters. :D

@shooter I'll tell the t-shirt man you're interested. Light olive green in large ok?

Okay, shirts are nine dollars except for the xxl or xxl- those are ten. I have @shooter @ca_mouse @kev211 ( others are responsible for their own order) and he's making a few more than needed. You can pick them up from a guy named dale on the bus. See you then!

Only penalized $1 for drinking beer and needing an XL? I can deal with that :D:cross:
