I have started a poll on NARP. If you plan on attending, it would be really helpful to the family if you could please vote in the poll. They want to try and get some sort of head cound for this weekend.


Please vote in the poll


Thanks




Event Info:

When: Saturday August 11, 11:00 AM

Where: 776 Sunfield Court
Westlake Village, CA 91362

Please plan on bringing your favorite beverage and/or dessert.

I will be going up from Costa Mesa / Newport Beach. I am taking Skline up with me. I have room for 2 more if'n anyone needs a ride.

I am also 1 mile from "John Wayne Airport" if ya need a to be picked up.

NOTE: I smoke and burp and fart on occasion. Anyone is welcome to go with me. In fact... it would be my pleasure.

PM me here or at the NARP site for phone numbers.

Clayton

Since your so forth coming with such wonderful information, I have to ask, do you do these all at the same time while you are driving ?

And, can you do these in Sequential mode ? And can you change the firing order ?

is john wayne the nearest airport? i'll fly in for this one.

k

Burbank Airport would be the closest to the farewell party, but John Wayne, Long Beach, and LAX are all along the route for Orange County guys heading up to LA.

John wayne's good if you want Ms. Lisa to pick you up. Otherwise, I think Burbank is closer. There's also a small airport in Simi Valley, right? someone local chime in here please.

Jen

Actually, Lisa lives by Long Beach and John Wayne would be way out of her way. I would say Burbank or LAX would be your best bet Kevin.

anyone have a piece of floor i can sleep on? to make it happen i'd need some help with keeping the costs down. renting a car, nights lodging, and the related mayhem would make it cost prohibitive. guidence please.

k

Howard and I had plans for the Hang Over Run....he told me Burbank and LAX were about the same distance apart....

Clayton....what kind of ignition system are you using to produce such results?

Kevin: You have PM.

Camarillo, or Oxnard are close, but TINY.

Santa Barbara is a bit further, but do-able if needed.

BJH

Still waiting to see if anyone from the NORCAL area wants to ride down to Howie's gathering...otherwise I will push on alone.

Brian and I are headed down, but making a weekend of it (spending time with the in-laws as well). We'll be headed down Fri night and coming back up Sunday afternoon.

Jen

I am offering my couch, floor, whatever to anyone that needs on friday night. It's not the ritz, but it beats passing out in the car.

BJH

I have a prior obligation that can't be rescheduled, but will be there in spirit. Howard was a great guy.

Thank you to Carlos for providing us DJ equipment

And JOE is having a Friday Night BBQ

damn. stinking priceline.

k

I'll try from my office later today if you want.

What do you think your plan will look like?

A lot like Miles' escape plan after drinking that smooth firewater he is famous for.

The plan is to meet at Uncle Howie's, not Uncle Jiggley's.

Jen

BUMP

this is tomorrow

I'm very sorry I won't be making this event

What a great time and Yes Howie was there. NO parking and not a seat in the House. Thats my boy Howard. He still knows how to pack them in. God Bless & drive safe up there.

and

When it’s all said and down as you lay asleep tonight think about what you will leave behind. How you spread joy, how you help other and what impression you left in another’s heart & mind. The memories and the pure joy of having the opportunity to meet and enjoy Howard's company will forever roll on throw his friends and Family.

Well said...

I've never, ever seen anyone wash a car in a dress. That's a good friend.

Drinking a beer, missing Howie, and missing all you guys right now
I like the fact that there was no shortage of smiling faces, it gives me hope. <--

wish i could have been there ...

Andy

Z getting a grip on himself. Or what he wishes was himself.

Deckman and Mrs K

Howards son Greg on the far right.

OK This got kinda ugly. Two gay lovers had a thing. You know. A thing??

Everyone had a great time. If only Howard had been there it would have been perfect. He was there in everyones hearts though. So in a way he was standing with us. Holding a drink. Smiling. I'll miss him alot.
Elliot

Lisa

He sure was a lucky man to have so many good friends. thank you for sharing the pictures, I really wished that I could have been there.

Wish I was there, but I did tear up some dirt roads in a dune buggy on saturday here in New Jersey. I am sure Howard was thrilled to see you all there on his day, especially Mrs. K and Jenny.

Edit: Oh god I forgot Toastie, didn't see you there the first read.

for those who were there that have more pics.........

I am sure all that attended are aware of the feeling you must have left " Howards" family. He touched the lives of so many people in so many ways.
