I like either Saturday, July 14 or Saturday, July 21. Which > of these works better for you? You perhaps were picking the 2nd and 3rd Saturdays -- but looking a June calendar instead of July? In July, it would be the 12th and 19th -- but those are both scheduled installfest days. I'm going to be away some time around and after the 4th, so the end of the month looks better for me. How does a Sunday sound instead of a Saturday? Maybe the 20th. > > We'll keep it real low key and simple. BYOB or anything you want to > eat/share.

From: http://www.a-zsandiegobeaches.com/beachsafety.htm """ Alcohol. Alcohol is prohibited at all times at all City of San Diego beaches and beach parks as well as State Beaches. """ (ditto smoking, for the record) I don't know how authorative this might be but http://sandiego.about.com/od/outdoorrecreatio1/p/booze_ban.htm says """ What beaches and parks does this cover?: All city beaches and bays in City Council Districts 1 and 2, along the coast from Point Loma to the Del Mar city limits. Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and associated piers, boardwalks and sea walls are affected, as well as the beaches and shoreline of La Jolla. Can I drink alcohol at parks?: Mission Bay Park (includes Fiesta Island, Robb Field and Dusty Rhodes Park in Ocean Beach), Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, Tourmaline Surfing Park and all coastal parks south of Tourmaline no longer allow alcohol. But booze is still allowed in Ellen Browning Scripps Park from noon to 8 p.m. Does this ban apply to weddings or special events?: Organizers with special-event permits issued by San Diego's Office of Special Events are exempt from the booze ban, such as Over-the-Line and the Thunderboat races. If you are planning a wedding in a park affected by the booze ban and wish to serve alcohol, you have to obtain a special-event permit to do so. Are all city parks that are not off-limits for alcohol consumption?: There are 21 inland parks where alcohol is allowed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., including Lake Murray Community Park, Kate Sessions Memorial Park and Presidio Park. There are eight coastal parks and open-space areas north of Tourmaline Surfing Park, where alcohol is allowed from noon to 8 p.m. They are: Calumet Park; Charlotte Park; Hermosa Park; Hermosa Terrace Park; La Jolla Strand Park; Nicholson's Point Park; Ellen Browning Scripps Park and Windansea Park. """ I suppose I could survive without a beer, but it seem like a picnic without beer is like a umm, .. a picnic without beer. :-( ==> QUESTIONS: ************* 1) Anybody got input on places 2) How does one go about reserving space (if one can) I was going to suggest we all crash your wedding, but I believe that's going to be in Vietnam?
