San Diego Meet n' Greet

[Scott Brady]

Hello my fellow adventurers!

Well, I am going to be in San Diego next week (4/17-19) and have a free night on the 18 for a dinner or group meet-up.

Maybe something around 7:00 in the downtown area, as I will be at the Conference Center.

Any suggestions? Anyone available? :chowtime:

I drive back to AZ on Wed. and leave for Morocco Thursday morning.

 

[Scott Brady]

It would be Tuesday night

Let me know where your staying & we for sure can get together.

Hey, you'll be in my 'hood!

I'll be up for it for sure!

I can make a restaurant recommendation if i know what kind of food/scene we are looking for. Unfortunately many of the downtown restaurants aren't that great, but survive on the unknowing tourists.

In the gaslamp proper my favorite place to go is the Gaslamp Strip Club...(as in New York Strip) It's a steak place, really. And a grill-your-own steak place at that!

For more upscale dining we really like chive (also our favorite upscale bar). The food's not cheap but its good, without being too chi-chi.

If you want to venture out of downtown a bit, the Little Italy area (basically north downtown) has great restaurants. With Buon Appetito being our favorite. Just down the street from there (and on the same block as our place) is Indigo Grill, which has some really fun menu oddities.

I could keep going...!

 

[Scott Brady]

I like the Little Italy idea :eatchicke


Oh, and I like all foods... I just dont like to eat at chain restaurants.

great!

i guess we'll just see how many we've got coming. i can make reservations if needed.

i wish i could offer accommodations but 460 sf doesn't work well with house guests.

 

[ChuckB]

Oh of course, I'm outta town and all the fun starts!

 

[RAM5500 CAMPERTHING]

Very Cool! I am in!

May i suggest Mona Lisa? It is on the edge of little italy as has all of your standard italian fare, killer chicken parm, easily accessable for everyone and they SHOULD have enough parking for our rigs (provided there is less then 8 or so) so we can oogle!

If we go downtown, we will be forced to park in the $10 sketchy lots and we loose the ability to oogle at each others rigs!!

Hmmm, chicken parm and rig oogling!

What time works for you Scott?

looking forward to it!

p.s. luckily the padres are on the road tuesday!

 

[Scott Brady]

Sounds perfect. I would love to do some rig oogling. (unfortunately, I will have a rental car)

:victory:

If someone could make a reservation there (maybe Monday, once we know the count), and provide some directions, that would be great

 

[RAM5500 CAMPERTHING]

Will the rental have 4L?

Here is a link to some info!

Not sure if they take reservations, i will try to call and ask.

Sounds Good!

Who's in?

Scott, will you have more details on the climb and crawl as well?

 

[Scenic WonderRunner]

I pick up my truck on Tuesday......and it's been sitting outside all apart for two months! So it's embarrassingly filthy! (is that a word/?....hehe)

May just be too embarrassed to show up.

Sounds like fun though!

At least I know where you guys will be if I can join you!



....YES!

I looked it up and it's a word!.....hehe

[Scott Brady]

Scott, will you have more details on the climb and crawl as well?

Thanks for the reminder. I will add all of the details to that thread this weekend. It comes up quick after my trip...

Thanks, i look forward to the climb and crawl!

Also, Mark is trying to hide is ultra clean 4Runner to prevent drool spatter on the hood! It is BY FAR the cleanest, lowest mile, straightest, and sharpest 4Runner of that generation that i have ever seen!

Cmon Mark, you gotta bring it!
