Plus One it is!!

Is this still happening?

Thanks for following up, iSm. I was just coming in to update that, alas, budget does not permit us to host the outing, but I would very much like to go later this year, if everyone is willing to wait until later.

Of course, this leaves me without a birthday activity. If anyone else wants to hang out next Saturday (and has budget-conscious ideas of what to do) I would love to do something to celebrate. Maybe a picnic or something?

Picnic at Lake Balboa Park! You can Red Line to the Orange Line to Balboa Station if you don't want to do a long drive.

I've heard it's a good place to take pictures, too. They've got nice places to walk and all kinds of birds and squirrels and bunnies to spot.

That's kind of where I'll be celebrating my birthday, too.

Picnics are ideal for us.

I think we've figured out a plan!

We're going to picnic at Descanso Gardens around noon on Saturday 3/12, followed by an afternoon exploring the gardens. Bring sketchbooks, journals, reading materials if you wish, as we'd like to do a little creative work while there. It'd be nice to just sit and talk with friends, as well. Afterward we'll head to a tasty but reasonably-priced restaurant, yet to be determined.

Come for part or all! We hope you'll join us. And we hope to host the Accomplice outing later this year.

Yup, definitely in. Yay!

Awesome plan, man. I believe I and maybe + one are a Go for that.

Um, shouldn't we change the title to this thread? Might get more peeps at Descanso that way!
