Westside - lots o' places for a meet & greet, but tough to find good diving and good grub on the sand. Fire pits, sure. Reasonable diving, with firepits and fun...tough to come by.
I second Catalina. Many of us are there all the time. I'll set up a big banner so the world knows its us, we can dive the park then go to Descanso for a few pops - set a blaze in the pit, and get nuts. Maybe we go into town for some Karaoke (sing it, wrinkles...) or just go put on funny hats at Luau Larry's and sing stale Buffet tunes with the band.
I can see it now - So Cal Scuba Board descends on Avalon. We'd tear that place up. residents settling into a mellow fall groove after Jazz tracks and the triathlon then *BOOM*.... "hi honey, we're home..."
They may ask us never to return... who knows. Good thing we have a resident advocate in Dr. Bill to smooth things over after the schrapnel we'll leave behind. He and Herbie will make things right with the CAT IS CO for us.
Maybe we make it a daytime affair and do some dives, then descent en masse to the Dockside for a Rhode Island sized Breakfast burrito and some more bad cover tunes. Sing along with the gasoline fumes...that's my motto. Sounds like another mess DrB will need to mend for us.
Hmmm... theres a pattern developing - we roll in, take over, leave a swath, DrB fixes it so we're not 86'ed from the place. Maybe that won't work so well - I mean, dude is the king o' island fun. We'll need someone else with a stearling reputation and UN-type negotiating skills to be our gardian angel.
Wrinkles - you get my vote. This inspired mobile mahem was your idea. You need to get over there quick so the bluehairs can board the windows, and Olaf stocks up on hot fudge. SB So Cal is rolling in, baby.
Mid November is my vote.
Besides, I live on the fashionable Westside. i don't want you degenerates descending on MY part of town....
