Re: [GSAS-board] Picnic

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Note that my comment about the alcohol thing was definitely not 'we need 
to find a place that allows alcohol'... as far as I know, alcohol has 
never been a featured aspect of the GSAS picnics.  :)  I was more annoyed 
that the phrase 'no alcohol, this is a family event' has become a featured 
aspect of the GSAS picnics.  I am perfectly OK with 'no alcohol as per 
city park ordinances' if we're at a city park.

That probably made no sense to anyone, but oh well.

#1 priority should be to find a good location and time for the picnic (and 
closer to the middle of summer, i.e., start of August, rather than right 
before the September meeting pls!).
