If memory serves, it was blistering hot that day. The little shelters from the sun were probably welcomed!

Auddymay, we have the luxury of microclimates here in the Bay Area. We are considering going coastside this year to avert an inferno day. However, last year was a fluke weather pattern all year round and the chances of having two 3 digit weather in a row at the same place are nill. But, we are considering an ocean breeze venue as one of the potential spots.

Just a few more weeks for your wild weekend!! How exciting!!!

You know, if you want to come to ours, Cindy found an airlines that originates from Ohio and will fly you roundtrip for only $60.00!

Oh! Oh! We cannot come! But we could send some Gravy Bones and some Schmackos!
We love Gravy Bones and Schmackos!
Guess what everyone, we want to tell you a secret but you must not tell Lou and Miss PB that we have told you but the Chowfest in San Francisco is just after Miss PB's Mommy's birthday!
Oh! Oh! don't tell them that we told you! :-$ :-$ [:D] [:D]
Hee!Hee!

Love from Milly and Mabel.

Attention, All NorCal'ers!!! Don't forget - SAVE THE DATE - 7/22/07

Please contact a "Steering Committee Member" soon. It'll be the best Cali-Chowfest yet (except for the original, inspired by Lord Zhuyo [:D] - of course).



***************************************************************

From Lou:
For those who replied yes, please PM your private e-mail address to a member of the ChowFest 2007 Northern California steering committee. Again, we are in the pre-plan mode. Providing us with your private e-mail address will allow us to correspond with you directly when plans for the ChowFest have been determined, as well as provide you with the specifics.

ChowFest 2007 Northern Califoria Steering Committee:

Swancin (Kodi's Mom)
Kingalls (Shiloh and Mr. N's Mom)
Leosmum (Leonora's Mum)
Zhuyos mom (Miss Pooh Bear's, as well as the fabulous Zhuyo's, mom)


Additionally, future ChowFest 2007 Northern California details will be found in the Special Events section of the forum.

Thank you very much!
Cindy & Kodi

CHOWFEST!!!!!

Post by chowteam »

:D Buffy, Al (husband) and I can't wait for Chowfest! I've passed the information along to John, who ultimately adopted Buttercup, the Missing in Daly City Girl. BC is now called "Dax," after a character on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. The character is apparently a super glamorous alien.

Best,

Jean

Jadzia Dax looked really good, especially considering that she was over 300 years old and used to be a man. Ezri Dax, not so much. :D It was also the name of the main character in the Harold Robbins novel The Adventurers.

gOTcha My Beautiful SIL's!!!

It's me, Miss Pooh Bear!

I only have a moment to use the computer. My house guest is ill and she is resting in the room here.

Oh, I wish you can come to our ChowFest in July! Since my "gotcha date" (inspired term by my bff, Kodi) is next week and our house guest is not feeling well, Mommy said I could celebrate my birthday and my "gotcha date" at ChowFest. Mr. Branson's aeroplane touches down our airport everyday now. Would you like me to send you a ticket? Unfortunately, I heard the Magic Carpet filed Chapter 13 earlier this year. So just tell me, okay?!

Oh Ms. Buffy! It will be so nice to meet you. I saw your pictures when Dax BC was just named Buttercup. Oh Dax BC will be an exquisite Dax. If Benny were to come up and join us he would "hubba-hubba"! Hello, Benny!

Okay, gotta go!

Hugs and kisses,
:x Miss Pooh Bear

Oh, Sid and Mikka Bear, we need your personal e-mail addresses, fyi!

As usual, Miss Pooh Bear, you are absolutely right. I loved meting you at ChowFun at Kodi's, and would LOVE to be at ChowFest!! I'll keep trying to talk JerryO into it, but I think Lady's human girl from California is coming to visit us then, so we may have to attend in spirit. But you know how spirited we Chows can be. :D

Our time together at ChowFun will always be one of my cherished memories. :inlove:

Benny ]):)

ps: That treats lady you brought was nice, too! [:D]

Oh! Oh! It is us Milly and Mabel. We don't want to come on Mr. Branson's plane - we are going to wait for Steel to fix his plane.
He will fix it one day. :D

I don't even know how I missed this but somehow I did. I obviously don't spend enough time in this section. :oops:

Yes, we would love to attend Chowfest. I am not sure how Boogie and Teddie will behave because we will be getting home from Hawaii on that Friday and they will have spent 10 days with someone. (I haven't found anyone yet so if you know of any inexpensive house and petsitters in the North Bay, please let me know.)

Golden Gate Park sounds like a fun place to have it too. Boogie likes to go and watch the Buffalo there. This will be Teddie's first time there.

Yup, just won't let me view it. I've tried a few times but.... Could you Pm me the URL & I'll try directly rather than through the evite. May work better?
