    Nothing to add except this should be called the "SBAF Big Meat."

    Might be too early too if BIG meet. I'm sure @brencho can host a mini-meet that weekend.

    That would be nice. But if not, I was thinking of inviting people to meet up at the Schiitr as I plan to pick up some gear on one of those 2 days.

    Where does @brencho live? I'll probably drop the wife and MIL at Westfield Century City which should hopefully keep them occupied for at least half a day.

    I hate living in the Midwest.

    Any tips for cheap plane tickets to LA? Round trips are so expensive, usually around $600 or more. I fly out of STL.

    We can do Schiitr. Easier traffic for Brencho and I.

    If you come in on Friday and stay until Sunday it will always be $600. Flights can be under $250 round trip if you leave mid week. Of course that only helps you if you have some place to stay once you get there and can take a few days off work.

    I would like to stay a few nights actually. Never been to the west coast before, lots I probably want to see. Any good hostels in the area for a cheap bed? Wife will be staying home, or I'd probably splurge a bit more if she were coming with me.

    (I apologize if this is too off topic)

    @Mystic If you can come out for a week you won’t be disappointed. Just get a rental car with unlimited mileage. You are going to be driving. A lot.

    Let me know if a bunch of you end up at the Schiitr. I can usually be there. And I might be able to bring a couple of show-and-tells. Actually, show-and-not-tell.

    Yea, thinking about coming in on a Wed and leaving the following Monday. Might stay even longer, kinda want to drive up to Vegas for a night or two. Furthest out west I've been is Arizona.

    I might have to make a day trip down, can’t sacrifice a whole weekend that close to finals. Can’t miss another Big Meet though

    Too late. You announced the meet here, so the weirdos know.

    Love the wording! Remind me to book a different flight from ice-man.

    I was planning on getting a haircut on March 3, but I can work around that. I hope to attend.
