3:00 - ? Super Bowl/Veranda sitting at the Paso Robles Inn for whoever is interested. The veranda is a fairly football free zone, while the bar just inside has all your big screens and yelling.

Everyone, make sure you have the address of the cottage when you show up in Paso...

Shannon,

I am beyond impressed . But I might need for you to PM me the address of the cottage unless it's on the other thread? I mean,it has been almost a whole year.

Marcia

Address to me too, please, because:

a. I wasn't there last year and
b. if you did distribute the address at some point I've lost it.

Judy

Here is the address - 133 Capitol Hill Road.

Hey Shannon, good job, everything looks perfect. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Slow Bowl. We should be in town by 3:00 Friday.

Luisa

Shannon, will you take over planning Sammi's Bat Mitzvah ?

This looks great Shannon - thank you so much for all of the organizing that you're done!

I was looking for something else, and came across Shannon's article about Wine Tasting on the Central Coast.

It might come in handy for Slow Bowlers!

As I said last year, Shannon is my heroine and I want to be like her when I grow up.

Thanks, Shannon! Great job!

Do you think we'll need one more salad for Friday night? If so, we could bring one.

Charity

Shannon,

I agree with everyone. You have done an awesome job of organizing this event.

As I will be driving in after work on Friday, I won't be at the Friday dinner. Is there something that I can contribute to the Saturday evening event?

Thanks again.

We are going to come up Saturday morning, so we'll miss the fun on Friday night. But we'll get to the cottage at 10:30 to meet up with everyone. And we did get a room at the Melody Ranch motel on Saturday night, so we are set.

Thanks Shannon for all the work you've put into this!

-Krista

Okay after the events of last night, (, ), we're going to have to watch the superbowl on Sunday too. Is anyone else doing that?

Oh, and Shannon, I updated the dinner Friday, in addition to the pretzels, I'm going to make some chili too (which btw, goes good with mac and cheese if you've never tried it. ).

Oh, we're familiar with it. We just choose to ignore it. I hope all of SF will be watching the game so we can shop in peace as we continue our anti-super bowl weekend!

Kim,

He's tweaking you . Not to worry, I think that there is a SuperBowl plan in place for Sunday afternoon at the Paso Robles Inn. At least that's what I have told David .

Brunch, winery visit and football (for those who need it). Sounds like a pretty cool day to me.

Marcia

Oh, I know Marcia. Sounds pretty darn cool to me too.

However, it's cool to me because the only reason I love the Super Bowl is because there's no more damn football until August! Sorry, tho I actually did sit and watch most of two games with David yesterday.

As I recall, that's the day we used to go to our favorite local pizzeria as it's the only time we could be assured of getting in without a wait.

Although you CAN watch the Superbowl from the bar at the Paso Robles Inn, it's also quite possible (and quite pleasant) to sit on the porch just outside the bar and enjoy a chat and a drink sans football.
