Anyone in Greater Los Angeles?

there's a building attached to the student union that has a very fine cafe-sandwiches, smoothies, baked delights, coffee, etc. it is a lovely respite from the heat! and the student union has jamba juice.

i'll be there all day saturday. i highly recommend to anybody going that they buy tickets to see ray bradbury at 4:30 saturday (ETA: tickets are free, plus a 1.50 ticketmaster charge). he's unbelievably awesome and inspirational even if you don't write sf/fantasy!

Next weekend is supposed to be back in the 60s/low 70s, so it should be comfortable for walking around the Festival.

Any takers? Other suggestions?

Anybody else still up for this?

Sounds great. Are spouse/sig. others invited? Anybody know about parking in that neighborhood?

Sunday is Mother's Day.

I can't do that date or time.

Would you consider:

Saturday, May 9
1:00 PM
Cat & Fiddle Pub

Other suggestions? I can go a bit later but not as late as 5:00 PM.

I can't make it on the 17th--Long Beach Pride!

I live just north of Koreatown. Have always wanted to go to the Cat-And-Fiddle, but I work from noon till 8pm on Sundays (also Wednesdays and Thursdays).

Bumping this to say that I'm also in Los Angeles and would be interested in any AW meet ups.

Hi Bagels!

Anybody up for reviving the plans for a Cat and Fiddle meetup sometime this summer?


Anyone going to Mythcon at UCLA (July 17-20)? I'm going just on the Saturday, and I think a few out-of-town AWers are going also.

Sure! Once my circus performances are over in August I should have more time.

Any meet-ups down closer to Disneyland work for me. LA area is a little far without a vehicle.

i can't wait to get to LA. I have about 35 more days and i should be on a plane headed there. Wife is already there fortifing her buisness in anticipation of the lose of my income. We will do alright though after i get into college. GI bill rocks once again!

I'm not going to Mythcon (although it sounds very cool), but I'd definitely love to be kept in the loop about any meet up.

I'm all for it!

I'm celebrating a friend's birthday on Friday June 17 but am free all day and most of the night Saturday June 18. Have to be at work at noon on Sunday, June 19.

Plus I live here in Los Angeles (Koreatown to be precise).

Okay I meant July. Sorry. Sorry.

Just wanted to say, I went to this last year and it was pretty fun. The UCLA Extension has some really cool instructors and you can hear them talk and stuff. It's more geared toward the writerly noob, but there are some interesting talks for people who write both fiction and plays/screenplays.

But it's certain, that we will meet again.

But to meet me, you'll probably have to be visiting New York.
Enjoy the weather and the palm trees!
Eat some California roll on my behalf!

Oh, well that's a bummer!

Can't blame you for gettin' out though. Us LA people suck. We've been trying for a year and a half to get together and we still can't get all our butts in a seat in the same room. Seriously, how lame are we?

Hello fellow AWers of LA! Just wanted to point out that The LA Times Festival of Books is next weekend at UCLA, April 24-25. There will be heaps of books and famous authors and celebrities who wrote books, and if you have little kids they have some amazing free entertainment on the children's stage. I'll be there for my fourth year, I love it and I can't get enough!
