redwatch Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 Hello fellow SoCal members. Ubi is coming to town and has graciously agreed to meet up for a small GTG while he is in town. We are looking at the evening of September 12th, 2010 in Anaheim. I am thinking of making arrangements for a group of us to meet at the Hearthstone Lodge in the Grand Californian Hotel. I am open to suggestions if anyone can think of a more suitable location. Maybe somewhere in Downtown Disney? Let me know if anyone has any thoughts and I hope to see some of you SoCal folks there! UPDATE: Ok guys - here's the plan: Hearthstone Lounge - Grand Californian Hotel 1600 S Disneyland Dr Anaheim, CA 92803 8pm Parking is a little interesting. Because Hearthstone doesn't validate, DO NOT VALET your car!!! They will charge you $17.00/hr for parking. If you park at Downtown Disney, the hotel is about a 5 minute walk and the first 3 hours is free. After 3 hours, parking is $2.00 per 20 minutes or $6.00/hr. However, if you want to get there early for dinner, and eat at the Napa Rose (which is supposed to be a pretty decent spot) then the Valet is free for 5 hours. If you choose to do that, and you can afford it, sit at the Chef's Counter and do the custom menu ($85 per person). For an extra $45 you can get four or five wine flights, and they are pretty generous with the pour. The Hearthstone is a lounge, so they have plenty of drink options as well as bar appetizers. They don't have a traditional dinner menu so we won't be eating a full dinner here. They also don't take reservations, but the hotel is only at about 76% occupancy so I'm told we will probably be just fine. I will arrive a little earlier to try and snag a section for us. Just because I really hate feeling like an idiot when i go to a GTG, if you are looking around, and you see a rather tall portly fellow with very short grey hair and glasses, then you've probably found me
asf Posted August 24, 2010 Report Posted August 24, 2010 that sounds like a great place! I want to go!

redwatch Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Posted August 27, 2010 Why the hell am I living this side of the planet Enjoy guys Hey Stephane. I hear Virgin Airlines is a fun way to fly! You could always fly out here! I'd be happy to come pick you up at the Airport
Stephane Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Hey Stephane. I hear Virgin Airlines is a fun way to fly! You could always fly out here! I'd be happy to come pick you up at the Airport Sure, but it would be a very very very expensive GTG Not sure my bank would allow me to do such a thing! I've never been to California, and I'm almost 50 I'm sure I will come one day though...so maybe we will have the opportunity to meet then!

I'll keep you all posted. Once I have the time I will lock down the location.
ubiquitous Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Hey guys, Just checking in Anytime works for me! Wife and kids will likely be running around, hitting the pool, etc.; let me know what works for everyone else! I'll likely only be bringing one watch with me; due to travel, staying in a hotel, etc. I really don't want to bring a bunch of stuff with me, so what I have on the wrist will be it. Any requests?
