We are going to have such a fun time!

I would absolutely LOVE to be there Admin but unfortunately I have a cruise booked on 22 Sept 2010 and just can't afford to do them both :( I am planning to go over in 2012 when I've had a chance to replenish the savings account :)

I'll just have to live it vicariously through you Admin ;)

I will get there girls so beware :)

Not sure where you're staying, but I highly recommend Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach.  Plus, the bar they have on the roof, High Lounge,  has a spectacular view of Venice Beach, the ocean, Malibu, almost a 360 view.  Great place for meeting up with friends for a cocktail and a sunset view.  Lifetime Southern California resident, been to many places in So Cal and the beach areas and I find the view from High Lounge pretty amazing.  Full disclosure – I do know the owner, but I would love and recommend this place even if I didn't know him.  

If you need any suggestions, let me know, I know a lot of places to go to in So Cal, expensive and cheap.  I have lots of out of town guests (many of them Aussies ), so I've been a tour guide quite often and know the city very, very well.

I'm definitely in.

Hmmmm–this sounds like fun—I've never been to California!!!!  I'm a maybe.

Change me to a "yes"!
And, seriously-let me know if you need ideas on gathering places.  I know a little Mexican restaurant that serves the most delicious flaming margaritas!

If I'm able to make it down to the area, I'd love to go. Can I be put down as a 'maybe'?
