    Seaside Games, Ventura CA Oct 10-12, 2008

    OK, I'll start the thread! Who is planning this far in advance? Bob (bigdad1) and I will drive up from San Diego on Friday, attend the festivities Saturday and part of Sunday, leaving in time to drive home Sunday afternoon/evening. After checking prices at the "host hotels" we are booked into La Quinta Inn, Ventura, about 5 miles away and half the price

    Kilt night Saturday? Anybody local with suggestions for a gathering place?

    I'll definitely be there. I'm not sure what the plans are just yet. I think I'll be there both days, competing one and cheering on my brother in law and some friends on the other.
    .. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

    I'm planning on being there, though I will have to cut out pretty early (3:00) on Sunday.

    I did a little checking on line for a place to meet and found this spot. Looks like it's close to the location of the games and it appears to be family friendly for those of us with kids and teens.

    What does everyone think?

    Hi,
    New to the board, but I'm from the Ventura area. I'd be happy to provide local info, or do local research for anyone who requests it.

    Will any other XMarkers be at the pre-Games dinner on Friday night? We're the recipients of two tickets courtesy of my sister and her husband, who cannot attend. It is tagged "sold out" at the link below, so if you don't have tickets now seems you are SOL.

    Comes complete with "fashion show" . . . we'll see. May make for some interesting photos and do/don't discussions!
