View submission: Let's meet up June 22nd
I consider cheese and crackers to probably be my favorite snack, so this is wonderful news to me! There are few cheeses that I have tried that I didn't like. If I can make one request it would be Red Dragon but seriously, I'm sure anything you bring will be awesome.
If you don't mind me asking...from where will you be visiting?

Awesome! I've never heard of Red Dragon but just looked it up and added it to my list. I'll likely be going to a few different stores (Whole Foods, Sprouts, BevMo - do NOT underestimate the power of the BevMo cheese section, zomg! Safeway for the standard burger-sized sliced varieties) and will see what I'm able to locate. :D I love going to the cheese counters and asking for suggestions for things I've never tried but they recommend and only once did I have a "meh" experience with it. They let you sample everything at BevMo, Whole Foods and The Cheese Board in Berkeley so I've discovered some pretty refined tastes. Midnight Moon is presently my absolute personal favorite but I love so, so many different types. I love bringing stuff that isn't simply the pre-packaged sliced variety pack of boring-ness to parties and events but definitely recognize the value of sliced standards when burgers are present (but I'll still aim for more than simply American).
I'm not coming from very far, just the east bay, but I'm evaluating Sacramento as a possible place to move when my lease is up next year because, well, crippling rents here. lol Super looking forward to meeting some of the locals and learning more about the area. I've had 2 visits in the last couple of months so far and hope to attend Pride this coming weekend as well as the Reddit meetup on the 22nd. :D
Any suggestions for things to check out in addition, please feel free!

I found Red Dragon cheese at Whole Paycheck today!! :) I've got 7 fancy cheeses I'm bringing and labeled plates with what will be on each. I've also got regular sliced Colby Jack, aged Swiss and provolone for burgers (or straight nomming, because CHEESE!). :D
Happy to show up earlier as well as it appears you will be forced to do so for reserving the space. Can bring some simple card games to help pass the time.
Super excited. :D
