So Cal Freepers: AFTER BBQ REPORT
Sunday, August 11 the So. Cal freepers (and special out of town visitors) had a BBQ/Pool Party in honor of Jim Robinson. Jim was in the LA area to attend the NFRA convention and present the Reagan Award to this years winner. Bob J and I attended the luncheon at the Reagan Library and Bob presented this year's winner with the award, the Young Americas Foundation. Saundra Duffy was also there with her husband (his FR name escapes me).
Saturday we prepared for the party.
On Sunday, Freepers started arriving here ready for some sun, fun, Gray Davis bashing, and swimming. A sun-burned DoughtyOne, managed the grill and helped feed around 60 people. I will let the attendees come in and give their reports but I had a great time! Thanks to everyone who brought food, wine, beer, chips, (we have more food here than when we started!)

To: diotima; Bob J; DoughtyOne
Thanks for the invite to such a great BBQ and party. I wish we had been able to stay longer, but as always there is never enough time. It was good to see you again and great fun to meet more freepers in person. I only wish I had been able to meet everyone there! What a great crowd! (and yes, 50-60 people for a Sunday afternoon casual swim party is definitely a crowd! Fortunately, wherever there are freepers, there is good food! lol)

Sounds as though a great time was had by all, wish I would have made the trip! Tell me, didn't Sheila do any singing for you guys? She has a whole bunch of selections of rock songs in that head of hers, some she made up! If she didn't, you missed a treat!

I thought you were going to be there looking for maninred. LOL
My brother left for three weeks, leaving me the pool to maintain. Then some other friends left town and I had their pool and plants to maintain. I actually haven't had that much sun, but I turn red rather than tan. Within a week I'll look like an albino again. Such is life. ;-)
I looked painful, but it didn't hurt a bit. Oh well.

For a cheesy pick up line, try "I heard you were looking for me, I'm Mr. Right and your name?"...
or one that really did work for me....after she asked if i were trying to pick her up, "if I was trying to pick you up, we'd be in bed by now"...the next night, we were...:))
To: Ms. AntiFeminazi
Hay MAF! If I would have known you were going to be there I would have driven down (against the advice of my "handlers" LOL), I couldn't find a co-driver.
It looks like it was a good time needed more pictures though...

Hi Sink! I'm sorry you didn't make it too, but I wasn't there long and it was a very rushed trip. One of these days...you know how it goes.
It looks like it was a good time needed more pictures though...
Bob and dio were excellent hosts. I had a camera and took some pictures, but I seem to have left it somewhere...lol
