Um, isn’t this the blog party thread? I thought all the RE talk was the traffic.

Yes, Any serious RE talk would be seriously off topic. :)

Sorry about the off-topic drivel then :-)
Who can create threads?

DinOR --excellent post!

I have created a new thread from it: "Lagging Vs. Leading Implosion Indicators"

Also, has anyone sent an email to Patrick inviting him to the party?

I thought anyone reading here is invited. Since Patrick is special, perhaps we sould send him an e-mail.

how exactly do we find eachother since most of us don’t know what the other’s look like

Good question...

Massive foreclosures are not a requirement at all. Think of it like a margin call.

Massive foreclosures will first be the effect of the initial crash and then the cause for further collapse. Feedback loop.

SQT, according to weather.com, fog is possible on Saturday in Roseville. So let's wait and see.. I have sent you my cell phone number. (I will be in SF on Saturday morning so I will not be blogging.)

Majita isn't a very big place, and I've met Peter and Jack already. Look for 3 guys discussing real estate?

Btw, what time did we settle on: 1:30...or 2?

1:30.

But Kurt, it is fine to be a little late. Don't rush. Drive safely.

SQT, you know what I look like...you can look for me, right?

If it's a small place, it shouldn't be too hard to find the other people in a largish group if you arrive late, or of we arrive early it's pretty easy to pick out the other person or people standing around looking confused about who they're supposed to be meeting.

Here is info about parking and directions for the ferry building tomorrow. It includes all the parking options and costs:

Is KurtS going to kyack over with his wife? Or just take the ferry? LOL just kidding Kurt!

LOL...I'd love to, but the wind off the bay is freezing now! Ferry is more likely.

Btw, you may find better parking just a few block into the financial district, as the Ferry Blding/Embarcadero is clogged with holiday shoppers.

"Btw, you may find better parking just a few block into the financial district, as the Ferry Blding/Embarcadero is clogged with holiday shoppers."

Do you know any exact blocks that have parking? Because unless I know exactly where I'm going, I'll just be wandering around confused. I never drive in the city, and I'm parking-impaired.

I'm sorry you won't make it, SQT. :-(

I think I’m going to have to cry mercy and face the fact that I am not going to be able to make the party.

That's okay.

Generally, that's true for me too, but this happens to be where my office is located.
From the Ferry building (Embarcadero rd), drive up Mission, take a left on Spear then a right on Howard. There's several lots on Howard and Main that have weekend rates, and of course--parking meters everywhere (possibly cheaper too).

Thank you, Kurt! I'll try to use one of those lots.

See you all tomorrow!

Saturday Dec 17 13:30 Ferry Building, SF

Use your instinct to find others. Once we have critical mass the group will be easy to spot. :)

I plan on coming. I will be the short guy with the very pregnant wife.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. :) See you tomorrow... I mean today. :)

Saturday Dec 17 13:30 Ferry Building, SF

Btw, 13:30 means 1:30 pm on your standard Timex.

It was great meeting you all today, Peter P, Jack, Jamie and the lurker who's name I forget (Chris?) as well as Peter's wife. Sorry I could not stay longer, I had to leave just as the conversation got interesting.

Brokeback Mtn was outstanding by the way. They really did a good job of capturing what Wyoming is really like.

Hey SQT, we missed you. It was great meeting live blog people! Thank you to everyone who showed up and made it such a fun afternoon.

And we actually HAD a GOAT at the blog party. No, really! We did. Well...actually, he's a lurker who plans to post by the name billygoat. So now I guess I have to quit with all the goat jokes, eh?

Thanks for the movie recommendation Jimbo. I'll definitely check it out.

Yes--quite a lively discussion! It was almost like a...blog--but with real people!
