Well... first we need to set a date.  Something at least 8 Mos ahead... then we need to organize the initial funding... maybe some sort of paypal fund to donate towards... then we need to contact local musicians and groups to see about musical guests...  set up a some sort of party location, whether we want a hall or a meeting room in a hotel or to rent a space from someplace like Ft. Mason.

With some sort of agenda, media blitz and a spokesperson for media relations...

A lot to consider, no?

Plus we need drink (can't have a party without drink) and food (preferably on a stick) and maybe we can line up a semi-sponsorship situation with a small hotel which will underwrite a group discount if enough of us check in... etc.

Let me know who you think would be best to arrange this...  We'll have to appoint an ad-hoc committee.  (all those years in the PTA will pay off)

We'd have to have a good selection of live musicians...

Maybe we can plan ahead of time and rent a party spot from the people at Fort Mason in SF...  Perfect place for a party.

With that lovely thought, I'm off to bed.  Nearly 2 here.

You guys really are the best.  I mean that!

It's definitely worth some thought. There are plenty of people here that would be willing to make it happen, I would think.

I think that was in 2004, shortly after I found this place.

I'm saying the peeps set it up, B & R agree to come, and we get some media coverage for RP.....

The left coasters would bear the brunt of the work, I suppose....

I will have to give him a hug tomorrow, as he has gone to bed as well. It's just me here now.

Bill and Rebecca did have an "official" gathering in early March of 2004 — the Spring Fling. Once it was over, one of them said, "Eh, organizing parties isn't our forte. But you all can have at it!" (Or something to that effect.)

Hmm. A drink.

Not a bad thought.

Will you and Abhi just hug each other for me?  You know I want to marry that beautiful man!!    He and BHD are the only folks I've met who are (were?) here tonight.  

I do look forward to meeting ALL of you one day.

You know, if BillG was smart, he could get a TON of publicity by having a RP "official" gathering somewhere.  Perhaps it would be attended by Bill and Rebecca, even if only for an afternoon.

What do you guys think?

Aww! How cool would that have been to have you here, too?
