So Cal Fanforces beach day - August 12 in Huntington Beach

LOL, Nice and Cool is a relitive term.

Normally when they say "nice and cool" down here, I'm freezing

Thinskin!
Norwegians have a saying, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing"

well i have a grill but no way to transport it unless someone has a truck

I have a truck...
If you're not far away from the beach I could grab it on my way up.

I think Smudge offered his too.

Aye, I did.

ok ive got tower numbers for us guys! we will be between towers 11-15 they are odd numbers meaning south side of the peir so see you guys there!

also i wont be there until after 2:30 so Liz or Erik i will call you to get the grill


also its gas which i need to get also tomorrow and is either one of your trucks shell less i know yours has one erik do you think it will matter?

Mine dosn't have a shell.

I'll most likey be there before 2:30, but, yeah, I'll have my phone.

score i will call you guys

Whither or not my shell will be a factor depends entirely on how tall the grill is. Lizard, however you want to do it, pick it up yourself or leave it to me, I'm cool

I rather doubt I will be there before 2:30 myself.

I bought a small table top grill today. And some Matchlight type charcoal. But I don't have a table to put it on. I'll have to see if I can find something that will work. This doesn't have a big cooking area, so we will need another grill, but at least there will be one there earlier, I'm going to try to get there around 11-ish.

I got my pasta salad made today, I always make it a day or two ahead, because I like to allow the flavors of the dressing, onion and roasted red pepper (which I like to roast myself, rather than get it out of a jar) to meld together and permeate the pasta.

I'm still not sure if I am staying in SD or coming back. If I do come, it will be late afternoon or early evening. What time does the beach close? I won't be able to bring anything except 2 chairs and Renee. Of course I will bring my lightsaber...

Think it closes at 10pm.

I'm sorry but can some1 repost the pier number or the location, again?

What time is everyone meeting?

I'll be leaving after I wake up, and pack all the stuff up.

11-ish?

Hopefully I don't get toatally lost/cant find parking

I have updated info on our location from James, via Lizard:

We are located right behind the bathrooms by tower 11 on the city beach. As you stand facing the pier, we are to the left. We are right near the sidewalk with a blue EZ- up and a yellow umbrella.
Parking is said to be pretty decent at the moment, though there is no guarantee it will stay that way.

That is all for now, See Y'all on the beach!

Had loads of fun, good time, good laughs, sabers looked cool!

was good hanging out with the you all and LAFF and SDSWS.

Putting ice cold aloe vera on my feet and the back of my legs now!

Arms look red but fell fine cos i drowned them in 30 then 50 spf!

Feet sting but it was worth it! i needed some color on my pasty white british skin anyways!

thanks to everyone for bring stuff along and making this a good day out in the OC!

You forgot the OCFF! You're posting here on our boards!

Now after I have taken a shower and all that jazz...

My face. Freaking. Hurts.

Need. Aloe. Gel. Now.

It was great meeting you folks!! Had a great time and happy to say that I didn't get sunburned. I think several of you got enough burn to make up for those of us that didn't. The lightsabers were great. It's the first time I got to use it in public. What fun! Thanks for letting me share in it all!

Oh yea, it's official, I've finally posted on the OC board!

A great event, much fun was had by all! And I somehow managed to avoid a major sunburn!
The sabers were a blast as always. Huge thanks go out to everyone who made this the success it was!

It was gteat meeting all of you at the beach. We had a great time. The light sabers were a big hit. The traffic on the westbound 91 stunk a bunch going home, but that is OK. Love to do it again. I didn't get sunburned very much, but youngest daughter did. She felt it was WAY worth it. They both had a blast. I wish I would have brought the right kind of shoes to play with the sabers a bit. Hopefully someday, my husband and myself are going to the light saber training classes. He had a great time. Thanks to everyone who put this together. Looking forward to having another one. Glad to meet everyone. Bye for now.
