Which month is best for the 2003 International Apolyton Meet in San Diego?

[Dinner]

This pole/thread is a continuation of the thread here where it was decided that some time this summer the 2003 International Apolyton Meet would be held in the cities of San Diego (in California) and its neighboring city of Tijuana (in Mexico). Thus making it a truly international Apolyton meet where people will find white sand beaches, great restaurants, an active night life, and tons of other attractions all wrapped in some of the most beautiful scenery California has to offer. (Am I sell you on it yet?)

Please feel free to tell us if you will be able to make it or not and which time of summer would best fit in with your busy lives. So come on folks let's get together and make this the best 'poly meet ever.

Hey! I'm in San Diego now! Awesome! When and where?

[Dinner]

The when part is what we're trying to determine but San Diego with a short trip south of the border to visit MtG in TJ was the over-welling will of the 'poly masses.

So far we've had people suggest Balboa Park, the Gas Lamp, or TJ's night club district (that one was suggested by someone under 21), we should also consider something like a harbor cruise ($40 with dinner) or Pacific Beach. Does anyone else have any ideas? I guess we can nail down the exact location once we figure out the date.

BTW How long should we keep the pole open for? Three days? Five?

I don't want to go to TJ. First day of Indoc here at Navstation San Diego, some sailor with two blackeyes, who was born and raised in Tijuana, told us he had the sh-t beat out of him by the cops.

Hmm...sometime after July 21st or so, then I'll be able to drink.


Uh, legally, that is.

[Lonestar]

And I WILL bring a banana, by the way.

[ixnay]

I'll be there until mid-august most likely. So anytime before then is good.

He probably ran his mouth, or was around la Zona Norte, where things get a little rougher. In general that's fairly rare. Most of the squiddies I see head north in the morning SP van look to be in fairly good shape.

Phils BBQ www.philsbbq.com is the best in town, and kicks ass.

Depending on what exactly people are looking for, I can come up with some ideas, although I don't know or care **** about the club scene on either side of the border - I'm 43, married and have a two year old, that should tell you night life is seeing if Ian's kicked the blankets off or needs his night-time bottle.

I can tell you by reputation some places not to go south of the border, but what's worth bothering with depends a lot on what you're looking for.

I'd be interested in coming, if I knew a time at least a month in advance and had a place to stay.

Anyone know the cost of one-way flights from California (say San Diego/Los Angeles) to Sydney?

Heck what's US$2000 between friends?

That's what you get for living in such a remote place.

How about Philadelphia - San Diego

I'd at least toy with the idea, but like Floyd I'd need a place to stay, not to mention a ride from the airport and all.

Gotta check how much that would cost, too

and in that event, of course, I'd hope for the 2nd week in August or thereabouts.
