Howdy:

Well, if we can take a poll and figure out when we all have a free night at the same time I'm keen to get started. Hopefully we can get everyone who seems to have a pulse here to show up. If for nothing more than a meet and greet (again).

The location is right next to my house (Jurupa/Magnolia). It's a great big parking lot owned by the same owner. She's really cool with me and if I can demonstrate that what I'm doing isn't dangerous and we can provide some proof of insurance I doubt she'd have any trouble with it. But again, I want/need someone else's opinion before I'll ask her. She has a lot on her plate so I don't want to completely overwhelm her.

Should this work out we have plenty of parking both at my house and on the street so we need not even worry about our cars. Sunday looks like the deadest day of all over there so that's the day I'm aiming for. During the week there seems to be laggers working late from time to time. The last thing I want to do is freak out a shrink renting an office from the same lady I rent my house from.

The neighbors directly across the street will be absolutely cool as I'm friends with them. Lightly so but still enough that I'm comfortable lighting up with certaintly that they'll not freak out. The other neighbors to the other side of that lot I haven't yet made contact with but should we get the go ahead from one or more people here I'll contact them and see how they are. They seem young enough and I need to contact them anyway as I prefer to know my neighbors. Even if I only know their name.

I'm not doing anything Wed or Thurs (May 19 & 20) but Friday night after 10:30 I'll be occupied. I met someone I like who has expressed reciprocal interest so we've been chillin' a bit. Of course if he turns out to be a monster you'll all hear about it. If he's an angel I'll prolly gush soon enough... intensely embarassing myself in the process but [shrug] so be it.

Those of you that have expressed heartbeats and all here have my contact data... Let's pick a date (someone else please) and go from there.

Ciao,

Trip

PS. I'll be starting a 5 unit Japanese class in June. The class is only six weeks long. I'm a touch aprehensive but I'm hoping the intensity will keep me on track. The point of telling you this is that a) I may need someone else to speak Japanese with and b) to let you know that I'd like to get this burn thing in a routine BEFORE I'm overwhelmed with school.
