Seriously? I thought there are no retarded businesses left requiring the jab. Even in SF it's pretty much gone. Let's find another one in Oakland or Alameda. Like speisekammer in Alameda
Well, I just checked Plank, they "require proof of vaccination of all people that will be inside the building", but there's a beer garden outside - it's run next to Jack London Square:
https://goo.gl/maps/BqC9ggvB2Pzbcnoe7
But as my feeling is, fuck all of Oakland. Seems to be an area mandate. Could we possibly meet at a park or something? It's a HUGE imposition on @Patrick, but we could meet at his place again if he's willing, and he shouldn't feel at all obligated to host us, but if he does, I will bring beer, and I'll even buy pizza this time, and by pizza, I mean food from Amici's not that shit that the DNC appears to be into.
That's if anybody actually liked Amici's - it's NY pizza.
If we meet at Patrick's - I'll bring two growlers - anybody want to have the bottles when they are empty? If we meet at Patrick's I also demand to pay for the pizzas. I'm in a fuck the world mode. A growler is basically a pitcher of beer. They are reusable.
Not certain what they have on tap at the moment, but the Ah Limin is on tap and I think most people liked what they were able to get before I drank it.
Little hard to stagger to from Jack London Square also I just checked two places in Oakland and they both require proof of vaccination. I'd jerk off with 50 grit sandpaper while using a straight razor for a dildo up my ass before I put up with that.
I'll suggest this place again which is in Sunnyvale - this is where I'd pick up the growlers.
This is super unfairly convenient for me though - but I just called, no vaccination policy. If the food sucks there (I have no idea how it is now) there's the rest of the street to wander on. It's right next to the Caltrain station. The locale isn't as nice as any of the other places that were mentioned previously, but it's a fairly nice area.
You can party without me if necessary. A long trip like that has to be weighed thoroughly. I like Patrick's place but al currently slammed with work, trading, baby and more

I'm a bit overbooked until the end of May myself. Onvacation says
Sounds good to me. Send me a reminder notice in late spring if I forget.
Summer starts June 21. Maybe put it off till early June?
Martinez seems accessible to the regulars @Patrick @ceffer @RichWicks The train ride along San Pablo Bay and then the southern shore of the Carquinez Strait is cool. @mell It's a nice drive down 29 to 12 and then 680 to Martinez
I know a cool place where we could enjoy some micro brew and food and just hang out for an hour or two.
Invite only. I don't want exact time and place to be published. Afraid of ducks driving by or someone coming to my house.
Anyone else interested in going to a party to celebrate the mega-post that Patrick could vet as not dangerous? .
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday July 28 through 31? The first weekend of August 4th through 7th?
Who's interested in a get together the next couple of weekends?
I haven't met BayArea, but he seems OK from his comments.
He's a total dick (that's a joke). I like that you said he "seems ok" though. His comments seem pretty straight forward, and doesn't get aggressive with others. BayArea is one of the users I'd be interested to meet.
I'd love to get out there. Need notice though as I'd have to fly obviously. Don't plan anything around me though. I'd need probably 30 day notice. I've only been to the Bay area twice and I was 18 or younger. So I really don't know the geography of the places you're talking about, though I could easily figure it out.
I've been wanting to do a solo trip with no real end goal. And not with friends or family. I've done it for a night here or there non-work related (Spokane, WA is fun solo), but I think it would be fun. I'm the main parent as my wife travels a lot, so I'd love to get a break from the kids so I don't go crazy.
I'm up for it, and San Jose is OK for me, for harder for those in the East Bay.
We just need strong leadership to pick a date and place.
Date is probably most important. From there location. I'd love to try and do it, just depends on flights and as long as the wife isn't traveling herself. You guys can just drive and don't need lodging. So my prep would take more time. I'll give it a shot if you get a date. I know CA traffic is a bitch, but once there I can figure it out and don't really care location as long as it's not ghetto. Even then I'm okay. Just prefer something nicer. Dive bars are fun.
Have fun fellow patnetters! I'm stuck here on the east coast at least until Labor Day. Social calandsr is already pretty full!
I was going to ask where you live, but NYC is pretty obvious. I'm trying to help a friend move out of this shithole.
I'm almost tempted to recommend Malta, but it's NY. NY is as bad as Commiefornia. I'm thinking of the research triangle on the east coast. He's not going to put up with the LGBTQ shit.
San Jose is OK. Martinez is a stretch from my stomping grounds.
Expand your horizons! Martinez is a two hour train ride from San Jose. Martinez is quaint. If it wasn't the county seat it would be dead. Because the jail, court, and administrative buildings are in town it's quite lively.

Relying on 'penis intelligence' has never worked out well for me.

I'd be OK with that.
It's pretty far for @mell and @Onvacation but a little less far for @Ceffer
One good thing is that it's not a far walk from Palo Alto or Menlo Park Caltrain.

Maybe @richwicks @Onvacation and myself could share an Uber or Lyft from down here.

It's theoretically possible for @richwicks and myself to get to Martinez by Amtrak, and there seem to be a lot of brewpubs near that station.
It would take about 2 hours each way, but sitting on Amtrak is a lot more pleasant than sitting in a car.
@Ceffer would have the longest trip though.
Martinez is pretty cool. It was the place to go to during the pandemic as they close down the streets on the weekends and let people eat outside.
@patrick What did you think of Martinez?
Martinez seems accessible to the regulars @Patrick @ceffer @RichWicks The train ride along San Pablo Bay and then the southern shore of the Carquinez Strait is cool. @mell It's a nice drive down 29 to 12 and then 680 to Martinez

I’m in pleasanton
Pleasanton a quick drive up 680 the other way from mell.
Can Patrick Vouch for you that you're not crazy?
I meant dangerous. We're all a little crazy at this point.
I've been interested in doing that train ride. I think any of those weekends are OK with me.

You in the Bay Area?
I think one person has put me on ignore during that time and I still can’t figure out why.
Work in tech, EE background, married with kids.
Rest assured, even if I vehemently disagree with you here, I'm pleasant drunk.
We meeting up or what? Did I miss out on anybody in this thread?
You know, San Jose might be a good central point to meet, it's at the end of the bay. San Jose isn't as horrible as it once was.
I'm taking time off, so I don't care really where it is, I can travel. I'm just throwing shit out there.
We just need strong leadership to pick a date and place.

@WookieMan How about any Saturday? You pick the Saturday, and if you get a plane ticket, the rest of us will conform to that.
I was going to ask where you live, but NYC is pretty obvious. I'm trying to help a friend move out of this shithole.

Maryland, but used to live in the Bay Area.

Works for me.
@WookieMan When's the party?
