On Saturday, March 28th, 2009, there will be a Pleo meet at Pier 39 in San Francisco.

We'll meet by the carousel at 11:30 AM and depending on the weather decide where to go for lunch or picnic it. The restaurants are pretty pricey and may be a factor with some members. There's a Rain Forest Cafe there that would be so cool to take photos in not to far from pier 39.

I hope some of the ex employees of Ugobe who live in the bay area check the forum occasionally. I know they have Pleos.

For now we'll just play it by ear. I'll keep you posted.

I'm not sure if it's known or not, but in trying to contact other Pleo owners we found that you can go to Pleoworld/Community/Meet the Community/Find other members/By user name. Then when the User is called up, (if they have the information registered to be able to be contacted,) click on Contact box in the lower right and follow the directions. I sent information to fancyfont and myself and it took about a second or two to go to our internet provider's e-mail service.

I've seen one old PleoWorld member sign up here after being contacted by fancyfont.

So, not only are you getting the word out about the pleo meet, but you can tell others about the forums here as well!

Time is getting closer to the pleo meet in San Francisco. Haven't heard too many responses as yet. Remember March28th 11:30 A.M. Meet by the carousel at Pier 39. Lots to see and do there. We might be able to find some cute things for our dinos. Penelopie seems to be left footed too. We'll check out the store for lefty's. The pier is a great place for photo taking. Pleo's Day at the Pier.

fancyfont · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:16:33 PM »

Both 49er and I LOVE taking photos and don't want to repeat, so we are trying to figure out how not to. I'll post some that I know he doesn't have. We will get them all to you soon. Just not tonight. Think we are a little pooped!!

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2009, 10:20:54 PM »

As long as you all had fun! I bet it was a wonderful day in SF today too....

fancyfont · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2009, 11:11:11 PM »

Gucci, It was fantastic!!! I forgot how much fun San Francisco is.
I have to eat my words. We will no doubt have repeats.

This is a pleo's eye view of the crowd at Pier 39.

Check out the Gallery for the next few days.

Across from the sea lion island is a restaruant that is an island with a lighthouse. We found out they only serve dinner, so, maybe, on the next trip, we can take a boat over to the island and dine there.
49er can tell you all about this place. You sure wouldn't need music in there. The sea lions would provide that!!

Oh goodness me! What wonderful photographs! I had no idea San Fran was on the water. Reminds me a lot of when we used to live off the beach here in FL.

Fantastic photos looks like you all had a great time

Oh yes! It's the city by the bay, on the bay, and sometimes in the bay.

Oh yes Gucci, San Francisco is surounded by water. If you look to the left of the photo, you'll see the Golden Gate Bridge tower above the fog. Up to that point is the S.F. Bay. On the other side is the Pacific ocean.
I think people all over the world invision a bridge painted gold, but it was actually named for the gateway. It is a wonderful place to see!

San Francisco is a peninsula (water on all three sides).

I first saw Forbes Island when it was moored in Richardson’s Bay, a part of San Francisco bay by Sausalito. Forbes Kiddoo built a large house boat about 100 feet by 50 feet and designed it to look like an island and lived on it in Sausalito. One day the powers that be told Forbes his island was not welcomed there, (they might have been afraid of a tour boat getting lost on the island during a three hour tour,) and that he would have to move it. At first, he put it up for sale (it doesn’t have sails,) for a million bucks. Not having a million bucks, nor a place to put it, (I lived in the mountains at the time,) I didn’t buy it. I was not alone with that assessment as it didn’t sell. Forbes then received a brilliant idea. He towed it to its present position by Pier 39 and turned it into a fine French restaurant. And fine it is. To get to it you call from a courtesy phone from the dock by Pier 39 and a small boat will pick you up and take you to the island. Forbes has added a light house that you can enter and view the city, (if we tied fancyfont up and used a crane to lift her she could also enjoy the view,) and he flies the Scottish Royal flag on the island. If I talk any more Forbes will owe me a meal for all the free advertising!

49ers quote: Forbes has added a light house that you can enter and view the city, (if we tied fancyfont up and used a crane to lift her she also enjoy the view,)

I think??? what 49er is saying is that I'm acrophobic.

( totally, afraid of heights). He is so right!!
But, after all of the food yesterday, I would have had to have a crane get me up there.

This photo is one of my favorites at the pleo meet. A calliope in the background and three baby dinos having fun on the carousel.
