Gilroy Garlic Festival Gathering! July 23~25

[Jerry]

Pretty self explanatory:

http://www.gilroygarlicfestival.com/

Vote for which day works for you best! We'll go by majority rule : Friday or  Saturday or  Sunday

In previous years, I've gone with roommates, Fellow Fanime staff, Rovers, and whoever else I may run into from or around that area.

Heck, I'll even go in my Russell Cosplay just for giggles and more photo ops- :P

Most Likely we could meet up at my place [east side san jose] and then head down via carpool-

for the most part, we'll just check out the food [duh], maybe check out a live event or two, play some carnival games, try to stay sober in the wine tasting tent, and have a nice dinner somewhere on the way back or in san jose.

Anyone else interested? :D

[otakuya]

I'm interested and could offer my car, if it comes down to it. Just letting you know from past experiences that traffic would be **** on 101 so we'd better leave SJ early.

[venka21]

Wish I could go, but I'm broke and don't have a car.

[HeyItsMeeEE]

i'll be there on Saturday with friends, so i will be willing to meet up.

Couple ideas up in the air- 

Board gaming Gathering
T-shirt art making gathering
Rock band days/night marathons
Cooking/baking/ BBQ gathering
"Hack and slash" my backyard gathering...

course I have to take care of some personal construction at my home first... so it wont be until AT LEAST mid July before I plan anything new....



@ PsychoGarden - where in Cali do you live? Pm me and I'm might organize either a carpool, or meet up at my home and maybe that way you can get a ride if you live somewhere around or between  San Jose and Gilroy. Pm me if you still thinking about going!

Adventure is out there! :D

do you know where Oakridge Mall is in San Jose? Around that area~!

[Jerry]

do you know where Oakridge Mall is in San Jose? Around that area~!

Course I know where Oakridge is... cant be a junior wilderness explorer and not know where most things in San Jose is.

We've had a few mini hang outs at the mall, or im even thinking about catching Toy story 3 either there or at the Eastridge mall.

maybe we'll cross paths before the Gilroy Garlic festival... who knows. :P

I remember this festival all to well...getting dared to eat the whole glaric ice cream. Ugh, never again I say. I might get dragged out there this year, we'll see hope to see some of you there.

[RyuHayabusa]

I might go saturday for the festival. so if I go, I'll see some of you there

[otakuya]

We can also meetup at Sonic, since it's Gilroy.

lmao .. garlic ice cream? xD eh..

Drove by Sonic every time I come down to Gilroy, and I'm surprise I never had any.

I would actually advise against meeting up at the Sonic because the Festival and this Sonic in particular are on completely different sides of town.

I would think it easier meeting at the fair itself. and looking for the BIG GARLIC thats on fire. as a meeting point. Assuming people are still wanting to meet up for this event.

[Barnes]

I'll see if I can make it. I'll try to, and Saturday sounds best for me.

*ahem*  Garlic Ice Cream isn't bad at all.  You barely taste the Garlic.  I remember eating this in 2008 twice.  :)

[otakuya]

That's the point of the festival: gahhh-lic! BAM!  Garlic ice cream though it sounds hideous, it's not what you think. It's more vanilla sweet than anything, plus a faint aftertaste, but not strong garlicy.


BTW, "BIG GARLIC that's on fire" ? What's that?
