Time to get serious about planning to make the gathering if you are on the fence stuff a little cash back each week for gas money and get you and whoever you want to bring in the car/truck to north LA. Just need you.
Bed? There's one waiting.
Food? There will be plenty.
Fun? No doubt.

Just need you! You will not regret it!
