To make the long story short, I was finalizing my travel plans for the year during the weekend. I came up with the sad realization that once I deduct my Euro trip in November, I'm left with less than a week on vacation time. Even though is a weekend, I still need to account for travel time back and forth. I won't be able to make the SoCal or possible Seattle trip. Have fun without me!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692497 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 05:41:59 +0000 AJ 692497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please see here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-long-farewell-aufwiedersehn-goodnight" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-goodnight</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692474 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:31:33 +0000 Marley 692474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In reading this thread, I think its time to separate out the two different topics - so we can keep communication from getting all convoluted! How about we have one thread regarding a meet-up in LA/OC area - and another thread regarding a meet-up in Seattle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692468 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:20:45 +0000 MsMary 692468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692466 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:19:05 +0000 Aida 692466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh if I end up coming alone then I'll probably take you up on that Mary, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692464 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 04:13:19 +0000 MsMary 692464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, whether Oktoberfest is in L.A. or Seattle, I would love to meet up with you in L.A. when you come down here! Heck, you can even stay in the Woman Cave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692442 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 03:24:03 +0000 chewyspaghetti 692442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been on the board in ages, but Vicki was nice enough to forward me the link to this thread. I don't know if I'll be bale to make it, but I'll be watching to see what your final decisions will be and see if I can. It's great to see so many wanting to do this again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692407 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 02:40:34 +0000 Aida 692407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm if this ends up moving up to Seattle I think I will still be heading to LA for a weekend; having that bit of sun just as the weather really starts to get grizzly up here was SOOOO awesome last year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692295 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 00:04:20 +0000 annagybe 692295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seattle's Oktoberfest is in the end of September</p> <p><a href="http://www.fremontoktoberfest.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fremontoktoberfest.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692256 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 23:27:10 +0000 Vicki 692256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sold! Kari, you are the best personal shopper around! Yay! I love that hat and you know our weather is perfect in October. I can already see you sporting the orange cloche with your cobalt blue bag! It would be so much fun to have you here and Disneyland is right in the OC, making it even easier for you! I think we've got something grand going on here! (Oh, Kari, what color hat for me? They're all so cute. Help.)</p> <p>Out-of-towners, I would so love to see you come for a visit; I feel like I know a few of you! Meeting you in person would be the icing on the cake! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692233 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 22:48:27 +0000 Kari 692233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, the Oktoberfest in Leavenworth that I went to is quite a ways out from Seattle (over 2 hours.) It's certainly fun, but it's more of a destination itself rather than something that's easy to pop into from Seattle. Plus, during October, it understandably gets VERY crowded in Leavenworth hotels!</p> <p>OT: there are some CUTE cloche hats at Nordstrom. I have my eye on the orange one! <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nordstrom-contrast-stitch-cloche/3314251?origin=shoppingbag" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/no.....hoppingbag</a></p> <p>(I'm certainly game for an excursion to LA just as Seattle starts to get cold and drizzly again. I'm thinking that I may treat myself to a solo day at Disneyland as a side trip if the YLF event does end up taking place in Orange County - could be fun!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692230 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 22:44:37 +0000 Vicki 692230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rae, for telling me about this thread! After seeing Kari's Octoberfest thread from last year, it looks really fun!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-oktoberfest" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ktoberfest</a> (p.s. I want a wool cloche hat, like Kari!)</p> <p>If we were to have our Octoberfest So. Cal.-style, my best weekends are Oct. 6-7, 13-14 or 27-28. I have plans on Oct. 20, but will be thinking of you if that's the date! We may have to take over the whole hotel, going from room to room for a progressive house party and ongoing tailgating! Marley, we could get a room together!</p> <p>Still, Angie's put something out there that adds intrigue! ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692181 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:15:22 +0000 Anonymous 692181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just texted DH who is on a trip. I forgot DD has a week of fall break in Oct (new for her school this year) and DH bid a week of vacation so we'd be able to do something. He will be scrambling to get his hours in around that week off, but said the first weekend Oct. 6-7 would be my best bet for a YLF meet-up (sorry Mary)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692085 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:33:01 +0000 annagybe 692085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I wasn't already going to Vegas in October, I'd be scheming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/3#post-692081 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:17:39 +0000 MsMary 692081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I checked my calendar and my work event is the FIRST weekend in October (Oct 6-7). I have an important bar mitzvah on Saturday afternoon, Oct 20 (third weekend) but could duck out for it and then rejoin the party.</p> <p>Summary: My preferred dates are Oct 13-14 or 27-28. Can't do Oct 6-7 at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-692080 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:16:12 +0000 shiny 692080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be in SoCal in October, part business part pleasure. I am not sure of my dates as of yet, or my plans which include visiting friends and family in the area. Don't plan around me but please do keep me in the loop, if it works out and I can make it, I will. And maybe bring along my sister too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-692073 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 17:57:17 +0000 Kari 692073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So it turns out that my plans in October are not happening at all, so I most likely could make it to the OC meetup. Just let me know when the dates are firm, and I'd love to hear about hotels!</p> <p>That being said: if any of you are interested in coming up to Seattle for a visit too, the offer of a place to stay still stands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691962 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 15:11:47 +0000 Angie 691962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ and everyone, do keep your Oktoberfest in CA. There is a large YLF group in CA and as Mary suggests you have an annual event tradition going already - which includes the out of towners too. </p> <p>If anyone EVER wants to come to Seattle, the YLF group is huge - the largest I think - it's always an option for those who are keen to travel. We will roll out the red carpet for you :)</p> <p>Claire, Maple Valley is far away from Seattle - at least 90 minutes sans traffic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691871 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:23:18 +0000 Anonymous 691871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU GUYS! A girl sneaks off to do a little second hand shopping and look what happens! Actually my laptop is in the shop and that's why I missed this (thanks for PMing me AJ).</p> <p>I actually have a sister who lives in Maple Valley, WA, but from what I understand that's out in the boondocks. Seattle and SoCal both sound lovely. And as Hubs just said, it's kind of hard to pass up a personal invitation form the boss! I'll have to see what weekends you all pick, my DH is unlikely to get both of them off work and that and $ are my main concerns. The flying part is free for me though, provided I can get on the flights, but air travel usually calms down once school starts up in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691770 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 06:18:36 +0000 CocoLion 691770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... This is getting interesting. I am available the last weekend of October for some fun! Wherever that may be. I'm not available the first three weekends. But the original alumnae should be the deciders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691749 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 04:49:59 +0000 catgirl 691749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update on my end: DH's Seattle trip is October 16th-ish, not September! So Seattle in September is not possible, unless that's when and where the big meet-up is. Basically, I can do one or the other, and it has nothing to do with DH. So I'm going to sit back and let you all hash it out, since I don't feel I have the right to vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691727 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 03:48:51 +0000 Sylvie 691727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to come. SoCal is a bit easier for me because I could do it as a day or one-night trip and the flight is cheaper. But I'm such a maybe that you probably shouldn't count me in to the votes.</p> <p>On another note, is there any interest in a northern CA meetup? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691718 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 03:37:45 +0000 Sveta 691718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my perfect dream life I would fly to SoCal "Octoberfest" and then to Seattle...<br /> Too bad the life is not perfect but I still can dream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691601 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:20:52 +0000 Aida 691601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we should definitely do the SoCal October trip as an annual thing, I already told my husband we're doing it Of course I am certainly down for any Seattle trips anyone wants to make! I'm 30 min from Seattle proper, but I have a big house walking distance from the Puget Sound with a big guest room and extra sleeping space. Also a fire pit and a secluded property perfect for chilling outside in. Just sayin' 0:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691545 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:31:00 +0000 Anonymous 691545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll go to where the party is at.

I was liking the annual LA meetup idea, too.</p> <p>But I defer to the group, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691518 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 23:48:11 +0000 rae 691518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, I thought the Seattle suggestion was in *addition* to Orange County, since Mochi said that was the third week of September instead of October. </p> <p>I dunno, I kind of liked the idea of a little yearly tradition for the SoCal group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691499 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 23:13:08 +0000 Marley 691499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to go to Seattle and meet Angie and everyone else! But - such a bummer - I really, really cannot afford to do that. If the meeting is in OC, then I don't have the transportation costs, I can stay at my own home, eat some of my meals at home, etc., etc., However, I completely understand it if you all want to change it to Seattle - believe me, under different circumstances, I'd be jumping on that opportunity BIG TIME! I know that meeting Angie is a priority and if that's the deciding factor, then go for it - and I will cheer you all on from the sidelines!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/los-angeles-meet-up-planning-stage/page/2#post-691493 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 23:03:49 +0000 Diana 691493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I am SO tempted.
