Sunset Sunday Happy Hour in Walnut Creek, Sunday, March 25, 5 - 8 PM

Location: McCovey's Restaurant & Bar, 1444 N. California Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, Phone: (925) 944-9444

Walking distance from the Walnut Creek BART station on the Millbrae-Pittburg/Bay Point Line.

The Sunset Sunday for March is at McCovey's Restraunt & Bar in Walnut Creek. It's a sport bar restaurant and should be perfect for baseball spring training. Hosted by Lori ( lemonpieyum @ yahoo.com ). The fun starts at 5pm!  Look for the blue balloons!

Everyone is welcome, first timers, non-drinkers, people with purple hair, and those people who just want to have a good time.

When you arrive at home plate at McCovey's (it will actually be in the floor), head down past 1st base towards the bar area and we SHOULD be down the 1st baseline. Look for the balloons. We have reservations for all the tables down the 1st baseline in the bar area.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Your Sunday Hostess, Lori ( lemonpieyum @ yahoo.com )

Several of you know that I am doing the Avon Breast Cancer 40 mile walk in July. I have to raise $1800 in order to participate. That is where you come in. On March 31st I turn 45, so I am having a birthday party fundraiser. It's $20 to get in. There will be music, dancing, food, drinks, beautiful people, etc. It is BYOB if you have something specific you want to drink bring it, but I will have a few things on hand including a HUGE vat of hard PINK Twisted Lemonade, Santa Cruz Sangria, Margarita Hooter Shooters and our famous Jello-shots.

In an effort to reach that $1800 goal we will havd several activities and hi-jinx going on. Everyone who wears PINK will get a free raffle ticket at the door. We will also be selling additional raffle tickets and the return of the Kisses for a Cure Kissing Committee. Pucker Up, kisses for a buck! Since I will be turning 45 I will also be selling spanks for $1 a piece. 45 spanks? Ouch! And Mistress Yami will be coming around with paddle in hand to issue or receive spanks to willing participants. Buy a spank for a friend? Or send one to that someone special across the room! Remember it is for a good cause!

It starts at 7pm and goes until whenever. As usual, feel free to bring a sleeping bag, pillow and something soft to sleep on cause my floors are hard! There are also several hotels close by if you want to make a weekend of it in Santa Cruz and off season pricing is still in effect. When was the last time you had brunch at the beach? Check out http://www.santacruzca.org/index.shtml for hotels, rates and availability.

If my memory recalls, we had 110 people there last year, but then again I don't remember much after the 2nd cosmo. Doh!

Cost is $20 if you pay before March 29. It is a donation to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It is payable in advance via the paypal - the link is on the Evite. Because we are limited to 125 people it is on a first come first served basis. If you don't pay by March 27th it goes up and there is a penalty for paying at the door:

$20 if paid by before March 29th;  $30 if paid between March 29-31; $50 at the door with no RSVP

BAF members will have pink name tags.  Civilians (the few people there who don't have H)  will have yellow name tags. That way you can differentiate from who is in BAF and who are my friends and family. =) According to my friends and family - BAF is my singles, social club. Some know it's H and some don't.

If you have a guitar or other musical instrument, bring it for jamming around the fire pit! We were up til 4am last year. Yeah! Thanks in Advance.

Help in cleaning up on Sunday morning will be much appreciated. After the clean-up, we'll go out for brunch at the Ideal Cafe on the Wharf.

See you Saturday! ~Julie
