Phx Memorial Day Weekend

So everyone, Memorial day weekend is upon us, and I decided that we needed to do something.

Who's up for BBQ at somebody's house, a trip to mexico, a visit to the beach at San Diego, or SOMETHING!

Let's hear some ideas, have some fun, and have a great weekend.

 

We could do a BBQ at my house!!! I dont think my mom would have a problem.

 

one vote, bbq... remember, we have friday night, ALL of saturday and ALL of sunday ;-)

let's have a huge bash ;-)

*no rum for chickey though*

 

I am sure we could do it saturday at my house. And under one condition if Void brings that really REALLY!! tasty meat he makes.

 

okay, so we have one option for saturday, what do we do on sunday ;-)

 

sorry. i'll be busy that weekend...

 

I had this weekend off, so I work next one. I get to miss out on this one as well.

 

We were talking about trying to hit Champlin museum then instead. Does anybody have monday off ?

 

a visit to the beach at San Diego

Don't come this way...I am going to be out that way...

However if anyone does want to come to San Diego for Mem-day weekend you could stay in my apartment while I am gone...Like a free Time share...all you have to do is feed that cats!

 

Err... no idea about monday, yet...

Heh heh....

Altho, theoretically, if we are all going to be out this way to go to champlin (bonus points to who can tell me the FULL name of the field it's located at) - it's but a hop skip and a jump out to our new place...

Commander BBQ standing by...

 

I feel a Void response coming on. LMAO

 

Uh, isn't it Falcon Field? I live within walking distance of it.

 

I'll be in Cali during that weekend.

 

Amazingly enough, I actually have Memorial Day off. (Though I'm going to have to work the morning of the 4th of July, but thats ok, I'll be making beaucoup bucks that day)

 

Sorry MJ, that is incorrect - but as a consolation prize, here's a coupon for a free Wild Ride in the Master's Tavern

 

But, then, what is it called? I live a mile away? Am I thinking of a different thing??

 

i'm off monday...so that day is good for me...

 

Actually MJ, you are thinking of the right place, but what it is called today, is not the full name of the field - I'm sure Voidey Biscuit knows, but is just playing the silent type...

 

THe original name created back in 1941 was
Falcon Field - Southwest Airways training base.

Today the official name from the owners (city of mesa) is just "Falcon Field Airport"

 

Oooooo... I see... Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is how much MJ cares about her surroundings... frightening, isn't it?

 

*DING* no... but thank you for playing...

but it's getting closer...

 

Im not sure what you think the answer is Choad but...

Copied right from the Web Site:

Hours/Map/Information

See! I AM right!

 

so, sat-sunday is ronins LAN party, so we have that...

Who all is off on Monday? I smell BBQ!

 

No. I am correct. It is officially named, by the city entity that owns it City of Mesa...as Falcon Field Airport

the museum is called Champlin Fighter Aircraft Museum and located on said patch of land just north of the police department and the landing pads for Falcon 4 and Falcon 2 (mesa police helocopters) and DPS Ranger used to park out there, don't know if they still do or not, and additionaly Fox 1 (MCSO's) Helo also is stationed there. There is a really good dining establishment there called anzio's landing on the north east side of the field, Really good itallian food.

Other than that... don't know nothing about the place, and never heard of it
