I might be able to get Sunday the 15th off.  Will this works for you?

I should be able to make it the 21st. 

I may be able to make it, let me check with the better half and see what she has on the pipeline...

I'm still down if it is the 21st.  One of the rare occasions I can ditch the family.

I'll put in a request for a day off on 12/21 tomorrow.  Will let you guys know by Friday.

I could make it if it goes down.......

DpShim is also down, what should we bring?

Sweet. I can deep fry a turkey and will bring beer.

 ...OMG...Is it OK if a SacBoy and his Mrs. Showup to this?..we will be arriving in watsonville Friday night. I could and will bring lots of tastey goodies!!! Like Mud Salmon. Fishmasters favorite!  

Sounds good ... except for the Mud Salmon!

Sweet. Thanks bro. Ill leave the Mud salmon but will bring some yummy goods either way. Thanks for offering your Casa for this hookup too brotha..That's holiday spirit right there.

Hell yeah!! This is gonna get fun real quick!

Looks like its on a Saturday evening.  I might be able to make it.

Maybe +1 if my son is hanging with me.
