    I will be back from Boston by mid July. I live part time in San Francisco and part time in the Emeryville/Berkeley area. I would be interested.

      i've met such wonderful, wise and brilliant people here, it would be such a pleasure to meet you in person. everyone who reads this is welcome. i figure a cocktail party with music and unsurveilled frivolity is the order of the day. i'd be happy to provide. i have a cat, so allergics be prepared and take a drug beforehand. we have a large backyard with a firepit and are near the beach and golden gate park -- 1-3 blocks from each! so getting together on the beach is also possible. any musicians? maybe we could jam as well?

            i work mon-tues-wed for the most part, and with a dentist and massage on the 17th, and a bday party on the 19th, but saturday the 26th would be good.

            are we thinking weekends, i assume? a sunday round trip is a bit much for me, but saturday would be good.

            where we doing this anyway?

                Can't do th 26th, or anything that week because I'm managing the events for an improv music summit.

                www.edgetonemusicsummit.org/08/s....html

                Come on down and join in.

                So the week of the 14th, or the week of the 28th, will work for me.

                    19th or 20th sounds great...

                      Depending upon where by the ocean we're meeting, I could do the 19th if it's later in the evening, after like 6 or 7. But I prefer the 20th.

                      That might work too because sulevay can't make the 19th.

                      herding cats...what ya gonna do, eh?

                        well, i think i'd prefer the 19th anyway, cuz it's at least 4 hrs roundtrip and i have to work monday. unless friday evening works....?

                              OK, now that we sort of have a date set - the 19th, what's the gig with food, drink?

                              Also, I'll have to arrive later in the afternoon since I already have morning plans.

                              Time - early afternoon until whenever?

                              Blue, what works for you time-wise? Also, potluck, BBQ. Have any suggestions?

                              Seems we'll have to find female companionship for sulevay.

                              Also, I'm assuming significant others or whatevers will be invited.

                                okay, not the 26th, but saturday the 19th... at what time? evening? and here's my understanding of where: Somewhere by the ocean in SF...ummmm.....

                                  i feel a little uneasy about publishing my address in a thread, forgive me. i pray i'm not being too paranoid. but i figger once the group has started nodding, i could send you all the specifics privately, oui? this is exciting! you all are so impressive to me. it will be an honor to have you as guests. remember i have a feline friend, so any allergics should prepare themselves! (she is also trained to kill, should any of you turn out to be axe murderers... she is actually at her best in an axefight. i've seen it before, and it's like a stop-action ballet of fangs and claws in red fog.)

                                i was thinking of an immediatist potlatch, but i think we should probably work up to that!!

                                www.left-bank.org/bey/imm_potl.htm

                                well, i do think a potluck dinner and afterdinner frivolity sounds good. anyone want to play music? that can get alienating to those who don't, so i'm not suggesting the full steam klang, but perhaps a little klang would be fun. boogieish klang perhaps.

                                yes, invite whomever you want, the more the merrier. if it turned into a shamanic hoedown, that would be fine with me. i'm inviting a few others from outside "the Willful" as well, including some drummers and deejays and maybe we could all chip in for a good magician? we could probably get one for a couple hundred bucks. the better ones are up to $400-500, which is too high, i know. maybe that could be later, at the immediatist potlatch?

                                  Wow, this is getting better every minute - though I should caution everyone to remember that whether or not you show up and have the friggin' time of your life - it all may just be the illusive materialistic appearance of holograms dancing on waves born at the edge of the universe. What the hell more could you ask for? Life is good.

                                            Yeah, I'm sorry I missed it to. I was afraid of that. But I sure hope I can make the next one. Sounds like a fun time.

                                            How was the magician?

                                              sulevay and scooter, sorry you both couldn't make it. I had gone into deep imagination about the dish that scooter might cook up. And I'd really looked forward to meeting sulevay, especially when she got herself cleaned up ;-) By the way, hope you are feeling better.

                                              The magician was simply fantastic; she had an unending assortment of tricks up her sleeve, but more interestingly she had an uncanny sensitivity about her - a most perceptive person, and she worked this into her act(s) by creating a strong rapport with the crowd, which was pretty damn big. During her shows we were smashed into that room like a bunch of sardines, but it worked out well and cemented us all together as a group. Personally I think she was just adorable - such a sweet person and so talented.

                                              I really got off on the drumming myself. Some of the drummers were quite good, and I found myself pounding away for about an hour.

                                                I had a really great time, it was nice to see you again Charles, and also to meet Blue-J.

                                                I wished I could have stayed for the drumming, though my friend had to wake up early next morning.

                                                The magician put up an amazing act and had a really good personality... though her mechanical talent at magic though... I guess since we were so squeezed together, and I was just about sitting under neath her... I got to see how most of her tricks were done which was cool and not at the same time.
