Hello to all. I'm from Gilroy, CA "The Garlic Capital of The World", at least it used to be, but it is the home of the "Gilroy Garlic Festival" which will be next week. I'd enjoy making some new friends, and hopefully connecting with someone nice here.

Welcome :-) Made the mistake once, of driving the same weekend of the Garlic Festival, and too close to it, traffic jammed for hours :-)

Thank you, ladies. soufie, I used to live less than a 1/4 mile from where the Festival is held. The locals know either to leave town early that weekend, or stock up on necessities and finish errands so they don't need to brave traffic or the large number of pedestrians.

It is a great Festival but holy cow it is busy! I lived in Sunnyvale at the time, and before I-5 (I think) was finished through that area, they routed you around a bit..horrid sitch :-) But the garlic candy was wonderful :-)
