I am beyond THRILLED to find you posting again!

But some little something grabbed my attention from your post. You said “And it seems there is no longer any shame in being a Californian” after mentioning that the natives are now a minority. It seems to me that shame should not be dependent upon numbers.

I remember living in Oregon in the early 90′s. Locals there generally weren’t thrilled with the wave of Californians coming to Oregon, but rather than view them with animosity most viewed them with pity! (It was an interesting dynamic, involving a world-view that California is equivelant to Hell)

In case you didn’t see it, Rachel Pritchett interviewed the women organizing the party:
