Hey Courtney,
Did you try hotwire.com or cheaptickets. Just a suggestion.

I'm still working on the location (not sure if the weather will cooperate, so I want a covered area outdoors). I'm looking at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma or perhaps Salt Water Park in Des Moines (just north of Tacoma).
April 22nd happens to be an Earth Day celebration at Point Defiance Park, so it may be difficult for us to reserve the covered area, but I haven't actually spoken to anyone yet.
If it doesn't rain, then it's no big deal, but hey--we are talking about Washington weather!

I'll try to pin something down by the end of today--can't promise because it is Fri and people seem to be very aloof with the phones these days!

Sorry for the delay...Julia and I have been leaving messages at parks for several days. We have yet to actually speak to anyone in person. The gathering will either be at Point Defiance or at Saltwater Park. I promise I will post as soon as I know. It wouldn't matter so much if we could count on nice weather, but I want a covered spot just incase it rains.

It will be a potluck, so bring something to share.

It would be good if y'all could email me and we could co-ordinate stuff, but if not--no big deal. The most important thing is that we get together.

We will meet up in the afternoon for how ever long anyone wants to hang out.

I hope to post the either park and the time we have ASAP.

NO MATTER WHAT, we are gathering Aprill 22! I hope to see as many of you there as possible (be it Tacoma or Just south of Des Moines!). I promise I will posts all the details just as soon as we get them nailed down. We really are trying...phone tag is such a drag!

Great! Can't wait to see y'all!

I think I'm going to go ahead and reserve a covered spot tomorrow at Saltwater Park (just to be on the safe side). Julia was waiting to hear back from Point Defiance, but I don't think she did yet. We can't wait any longer. I want this all squared away.

I will post tomorrow after I confirm our spot.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it!

Bad news. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I'm so bummed because I had so much fun at the camp in D.C. and would love to meet everyone else. I'm sorry I cannot attend. Please have fun and thank you for setting it up.
