After we do this one if we want to do it regularly that would be great.... any ideas for future events is most welcome.


Also:  Cathy_C.  suggested we bring clothing we want to swap... so weigh in on that idea as well... or just bring any you want to swap!!! 

Bring your ideas for future meet and greets.  Some Ideas I have are:

Go to the Improv Comedy Club, a dinner cruise, spa day... just some ideas to get your mind working!! :)

Ok....I had to confirm the weekend plans....but we'll be there!  We do have to go to the 1/2 marathon expo first though so we might be a little late.....so drink your coffee sloooooooow!  ;-)Does anyone know how far this Starbuck's is from the San Jose Convention Center???

Can't wait to meet everyone.....and Janel...YOU BETTER BE THERE!!!!!  :-)

Also....we have our plans set to do the wineries and SF...but are planning on exploring San Jose (most likely car-less) on Saturday.  Any locals have any ideas of where to go?  Any not to miss eats anywhere or any must do activities?   :-)  Oh....and we NEED a great place to watch the football games after the race on Sunday!   

Hey Kirsten, I am so glad you have decide to come!! It will be nice meeting one of the southerners.LOL
Looking forward to meeting you.

HUGS
JOY

Ditto!

Its about 2 miles from the Convention Center, but if u and Kev want a lift, I'll be happy to give ya one

Jess, I'll be at coffee (even though I don't drink any haha)

Brian

I am glad you are coming Brian.  You can be the token guy lol. 

Sounds great Brian.  We'll PM you if Kevin hasn't already!

The starbucks is not in walking distance but driving it is not far.  Its on the marathon route actually.  I knew the traffic near that place would bee too much to get everyone there without having to pay parking fees.
My favorite place to eat downtown in San Jo is the Melting Pot.  Its a fun fondue restaurant.  And its a lot of protein with the meat and cheese.  Its within reasonable walking distance of the expo center. 
You will love the wineries.  If you can visit Opus One its a treat.  I also like visiting Domaine Chandon (sp?).  If you are in Yountville and want a real culinary experience there is The French Laundry.  It was the best restaurant in the world at one time.  But it is pricey.  we went once and it is truly an experience. 
For touristy things to do in san jose you have to go to the Winchester Mystery House and for shopping and dining Santana Row is the IT place.  You could watch games at Britiania Armp probably.  Im not as good at remembering where the good tvs are.  So im not actually 100%sure about their tvs. 
I am glad you are coming!!! Jess

Thanks Jess for the info.  I LOVE the Melting Pot!!!  I will check out the wineries you suggested.  Did I mention that I LOVE wine too??  LOL

Make sure you add a +1 to me....Kevin's coming too!  :-)

Will do... Your welcome for the info.  If you go to Opus One they have a wine there called Overture... its worth the money.  Jess
