The 8th Los Angeles Meetup event will be the Great American Wiknic of 2013. Please help us get this event going! And read about our 2011 event!

2013 event wrap-up

[edit]

We had about 30 attendees this year, with a good mix of readers and editors. User:Wadewitz was kind enough to arrive early at 9:00 and claim a good spot for us with a working grill and two picnic tables. User:Tinkermen brought plenty of food and User:Chris troutman supplied the beverages. There were some other veterans of previous Wiknics as well as those who attended previous LA-area events, with the addition a few people who just saw the banner ad this week and decided to swing by. A good time was had by all. howcheng {chat} 05:01, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What, Where, When, and How?

[edit]

What: Picnic!
Where: Pan-Pacific Park [ info ] [ map ]
When: Saturday, June 22, 2013; ~9:30 AM – 4 PM
How: By hook or by crook

Details

[edit]

Pan-Pacific Park is pretty large, so let's plan to find tables/grills at the north end (closer to Beverly Blvd). On weekends, the park gets busy with picnickers and barbecuers, so we need some plucky volunteers to get there as early as possible to hold some tables, preferably with a grill, but if someone wants to bring a (medium or large) grill, then we can afford to be less picky. If nobody can get there early in the morning—say by 9:00 AM (I can't, I'm coming from Ventura County)—then we will need someone to bring a grill because those tables will likely be taken by others (we got lucky last year, but we can't count on that again). We should also have signs or something so that we can recognize each other. :) Also, it would be nice to get a better headcount than just "possible" because people bringing food will need to know how much. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 18:05, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am bringing enough plates/utensils/cups for 30 people. FYI. Wadewitz (talk) 23:19, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]

I've created a custom Google map. The map contains place markers for all the locations with a BBQ pit and without, and I've named them all. So on the day of thlle event once well have a spot, I plan to update this page (and the map) to state where we are and hopefully that will make it easier for people to find will also have my phone number here so that you can call me for help. howcheng {chat} 18:05, 11 May 20:13 (UTC)
