    I might try to attend if it's on a weekend, but a lot of businesses that agree to accommodate this kind of thing would rather have it on a weeknight or some other time when it's slower.

    I would say once a month on a Thursday or something, that way we're not there on a Friday/Saturday holding up a table, and we can survive hungover at work on a Friday haha.

    This is very true, native son said Mon-Wed would be a bonus to them & that we may be hard pressed to find room on a Fri-Sat

    I agree with this, Thursday may be a good bet

    I did a birthday bottle share with a big group of friends at Native Sons, couple months back. They were tremendously happy being a part of it. We celebrated on a Friday night and was lucky enough to get a table before the (busy) weekend crowd arrived. That being said, I think a Wednesday or Thursday could work out best.

    Saturday can work for me.

    I'd possibly be able to make a Thursday work, Saturday as a potential backup.

    So I think Thursday is probably going to be the best bet, and seems like Native Son is going to be the spot. Maybe we can try to do the first Thursday of each month and start around 6-7PM?

    What does everyone think?

    Sounds great. Maybe we can sneak some Saturday shares in later down the road.
    So first one Thursday 12/6 @ 6 pm?

    The earlier in the day the better for me. I get off work reasonably early (which is a few streets up from Native Son), but I can try to stick around a little bit on occasion for a share.

    If we keep it small (eg no one show up with a weekday horizontal), we can always go to one of the Beachwoods, Seal probably best.

    Santa Ana would be a little tricky for me at that time as the traffic would make it hard to be there at start, but I should be able to make it.

    Can some more people chime in whether next Thursday works for them or not? I'd like to get Native Son a rough estimate if that is a go. Otherwise we can try to find a date that works better for more people.

    I think I could stop by on the 6th... Probably not right at 6 but somewhere around 6:30-7ish.

    I got a business lunch the next day, so i'm going to be a no for this one, but should be able to make others.

    This sounds great! I'll keep 12/6 open. If it's a go, I'll bring a bottle or two of some barrel-aged stouts.

    Best of luck on your inaugural BA OC Share.

    As a regular attendee of the BA West LA share, I love seeing these shares popup throughout the Southland. I will keep my eye on this thread on the outside chance the stars align and I am able to attend.

    Wanted to give this threat a bump even though I'm no longer able to make it. I hope to make the next one and I've alerted a few of my friends who don't have BA accounts and they're all interested in future shares.

    Hmm, at this point I'm not sure if we want to move forward with this Thursday or try to find a better suited date. I feel like only 3 or 4 people are able to make it - seems like a lot more people are free on Saturdays, with the downside being that Native Son will be busier and would appreciate the bump in business on a weekday. Maybe we try to do Saturday around opening (11AM)?

    Lot's of people seem to be showing interest but not exactly responding with availability so I'm not really sure what to do at the moment.

    Yeah, unfortunately (or fortunately) I have my own little "share" with friends at Beachwood LB on Thursdays. Makes it hard to up and go, and my Saturdays can be taken up by outdoor pursuits for the most part, but I will have occasional Sats where I can make it.

    I think 1st Thursdays at Native Son can work. I think any day in December is hard with the holidays and all. I appreciate your work in organizing this and I'll do what I can to make this successful in the future.
