Hey all you Bay Area BPLrs and beyond on 02/04/2012 19:23:43 MST Print View

Would you all be interested in a get together, say once a year at least?

Guess what? This already takes place! It's called the GGG and you can learn more about it here in this very thread.
Go to the beginning and see if you want to join us. Time and space is running out. PM me or chime in here.

Ok, ok, we will leave the kids at home. It sounds like there might be too much fun going on for them...

Shameless selfish bump

Anyone have one that they are bringing?

Anyone have anything in particular that they want to see/try?

GGG and The Weather on 02/06/2012 14:54:39 MST Print View

So far long term forecasts are showing for a sunny, mid 60's weekend for Presidents Day Weekend. In years past, we have had showers, snow flurries, and a little rain, so always come prepared. Looks like we are in for good weather!

"What is this GGG?"

That is exactly the point I tried to make a week ago. It is not descriptive.

GROAN...........


Does nobody ever try the search box first!?!

I've posted it described every way I can think of. I throw my hands up I am done.

Really?!?! Come on! Head explodes!!!!!

It takes a short time here to learn things like HYOH,HH,MLD,TT, ETC. Add GGG to that . Sheesh!

BPL isn't obvious, and 99% of threads here have bad titles.

-B.G.- still finds them all and comments on them all.


At this point if people don't know GGG, they haven't tried to find out either.

Not much you can do about that.

That is helpful, but it is not clear what you mean by "extravaganza."

I've tried to find more information, but it's not clear.

Do you mean a demonstration? Or more of a display?

Or are we talking a full-blown exposition?

I definitely might try to attend if it's a marvel or a spectacular.

This is exactly a point I tried to make a week ago. It is not descriptive.
