I'm from Fort Worth. I can do heat. It's 112 in the summers in August there. Cold weather is my bane.

April is nice down in the LA area. Its not too hot yet if you're not used to the heat. On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 7:37 PM, Keith Johnson < keithbjohn...@comcast.net > wrote: thanks. I have a friend who went in January a couple of years ago and loved it. I've only been to San Fran in California, but figure March or April might be too cool for me, so sunny San Diego came up as an idea. I have a free plane ticket I need to use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2010 9:52:26 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Compton Cookout San Diego is beautiful and warm. Too nice for rednecks, but they all commute down from Simi Valley. (Where Rodney King got beat up.) Nice beaches too. It is about an hour from LA which is where everything is really going on. (its loaded with so many things to do) Stay away from Tijuana. They still have the drug war going on. If you are still in the planning phase check the almanac for how the weather will be around the time you are planning on going.

Invitations to the event, sent out through the social networking site, Facebook, encouraged female attendees to dress as "ghetto chicks," characterized by gold teeth, cheap clothes, "nappy" hair and a "very limited vocabulary" Male party-goers were required to wear urban clothing and other accessories stereotypically attributed to Black urban culture. Watermelon and fried chicken were served as refreshments. Most egregious is that the students used this event to mock Black History Month. -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
