All confirmed & dates free set. :yahoo:
I'll be in LA on the 15th and 16th, fly out evening of the 16th so the whole day & early evening will be free.
I'm most likely to be staying in Santa Monica for the night & have tentatively booked a dinner with a friend. Aside from that, all free!
If necessary I'll hire a car and head out to any suggested venues (unfortunately this will probably limit the  :drinks: :drinks:)

G'day Fellas, looks like I now have the 16th as FJ hook-up day. I've hired a car so I can head out of Santa Monica to a venue you guys suggest.
My flight back to Oz is later that evening, so, unfortunately, no chance to stay over.
PM me with any specific ideas.

Cool, not many specifics to add. Tuesday 16th Feb is the day.
Depending on where we meet up my departure time will vary so I can be checking in at LAX 8,30pm latest.
I'm staying in Santa Monica at Loews. Anyone who wants can meet me there, I can shout a few beers on the Tuesday.
Work has sucked up my 'free' Monday, but Tuesday will remain all clear.
I will have a car & can drive out on Tuesday to meet up if Santa Monica is too far.
Lunch somewhere is probably the best bet (yeah, I know this limits the  :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:).
Any other specific's I've forgotten?

Probably a jinx, but work looks like it may cooperate.  Noon @ Stout Burgers & Beers?   111 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401?  Not this one: Hollywood, 1544 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028?  The 2nd address is just beyond walking distance from my job.
