"So Kurt are we in? Jim"
Yes!
"Jessie (the wife or FFR) will take it how comfortable u guys are with that..."
Yes!

Here is the possible itinerary for the weekend. YMMV and things are very fluid.

Sat morning
8am make coffee and setup house for entertaining.
wait for a driveway full of MINIs to appear.
entertain until we all get pooped and then...
Dinner... with minichef or a local restaurant or delivery pizza. Decision made by majority rules.
stay up half the night telling lies.

Sun morning
8am COFFEE!!!!!!!!!
9am breakfast burritos with NorCal MINIs and maybe REME .
Afternoon run.

Marty and I plan to close the house and return home in the late afternoon Sunday. We are looking forward to having you all there. There will be sodas, drinks and snacks, but bring an appetizer if you wish. This is also a BYOB party as the house does not have a bar because of children that visit the house. I will have mixes. If you have any questions, ask.

I would like an approximate count by the 17th so we can get the supplies.

Thanks,
Kurt and Marty
"Lil Miss"

Ok MINICHEF,
Your chance to tell all about your restaurant.

Where?
Cuisine?
Your favorites?
All the celebrities that frequent and how often?

The last was pure voyeurism
Kurt.

Sorry, No Sea Kittens on the menu. I could not find how they rate on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's guidelines, and that is the only list we strictly follow, seriously.

Pete, sorry to hear of your and Jessie's loss.

Looking forward to a Santa Cruz get-away. I'm going to take up Marty's offer to crash at the cabin with my sleeping bag.

P. S.

Our condolences to PETEYD4 and his family.


Jim;
no you do not need linens. There are electric blankets on all the beds so all should be warm.

Joe;
can you make the arangements for the trip over. ie... time to meet and route to take. You have my phone number if you have any questions. Can you also get ahold of REMI and NorCal for a count for Sunday?

Thanks.
Kurt

Kikimowse and Bitzie should know for sure by Tuesday if it is go or no go. If we get a green light we would have to meet up with the group. Bitize has to work until noon Saturday (tax season). We of course will be staying offsight and will handle those arrangements. Make plans without us and if we are able to shake free we will just get the game plan and meet up where we can.

No problem Kurt. I'll be giving you a buzz tomorrow evening to discuss gameplan for the weekend once we're over there. I just sent out the MidCal club e-mail & e-mailed NorCal to get lined up with them. I know we're all going over to SC in phases, ie. some Friday night direct, some Friday & staying elsewhere & some of us on Saturday.

The Saturday meetup time & location is: Custom Mini Shop @ 8am sharp. Leaving promptly at 8:30am.
