    Summer is almost coming so yeah, gathering. x) So.....heeeeeeere's @kam B) [B]Hey guys, It's that time of the year again...when we SoCal spinners get together and get drunk and what not (oh wait...that doesn't really happen) Well, I know I haven't been around the board lately, but I'm still pen spinning every day, and hope to meet you guys/gals at the next gathering if you can make it. As usual, let's start by posting your desired/available dates so we can try to find a date that's suitable for most people. If you're visiting from out of town, please mention that so we can try to make you a higher priority than those who can always come to the next gathering. Suggestions for events, workshops, etc. are welcome and open for discussion.[/B] So we might have to decide on a location too unless it's Brea Mall again. :/ Can't wait to go to my second gathering. ^_^ Going: JackyMacky Zkhan shoeman6 sangara Kyoflow SJ esp poisoned Escorpio123 kam [COLOR="red"]If.../Maybe:[/COLOR] DJSpin Mufoofee funnky jet tenku069 Nachoaddict hoiboy UPDATE: Location has been voted on and finalized.

    I might be able to go again, but not to psyched about going to the brea mall. not that I didnt like it, it was just a LONG trip and I almost missed a bus that would have landed me on a missing person list filed from semi-over-protective parents. D: Dont want to be a buzz-kill. I will ask, put me as a maybe? :D

    Quick question: Why is there both SoCal /and/ NorCal gatherings? Distance?

  26. Nachoaddict
    Date: Sun, May 13 2012 19:59:40

    Socal is usually at La Brea Mall and Norcal is usually somewhere in San Fran. I can't give you distances because I don't know where you live lol.

    I'm like JackyMacky, I am not that active in the forum but I'm still spinning every day :D. I hope we can make the meeting more west, because BREA MALL is over 30 miles away from most of the LA people lol. :hmm: @Mufoofee

  31. Kyoflow
    Date: Mon, May 14 2012 05:08:47

    yea brea mall is kinda far away for most of us... i vote august cause im a bit more flexible with time, but july will work just fine if its on a weekend @Fuse california is one of the biggest states out there, and its stretched from up and down the coastline. a drive from nor cal down to so cal could get you through several states on the east cost

  32. JackyMacky
    Date: Tue, May 15 2012 01:02:55

    4 July and 4 August (including my vote). Anyone else?

    July 4 for me. im busy in august.

  36. kam
    Date: Thu, May 24 2012 00:57:39

    if anyone has a better place, feel free to suggest. We've always done it in Brea (I think initially this was closer to the people attending, but that was years ago and people who used to go no longer go). For me, it's gonna be around a 2 hr drive from San Diego to LA anyways...so it doesn't matter to me. As for time, a saturday works better for me, but I'm okay with sundays as well.

  37. utkarsh
    Date: Thu, May 24 2012 06:35:44

    even though i am not in USA, but i would suggest adding a poll with the weeks as options, would be of help i guess.

  38. Mufoofee
    Date: Thu, May 24 2012 17:50:02

    I don't know first one I went to was Westside pavilion. Easy for me to get too, like a 45 minute travel. Anyone else find this area close? I think DJSspin does and his pals. Anyone else comfortable with this place? Just a suggestion.

  39. tenku069
    Date: Mon, May 28 2012 16:22:03

    if its at brea mall again maybe i can come after my bike ride and see how everthings holdin up. if july then no go for me (gonna be in vietnam)

  40. JackyMacky
    Date: Mon, May 28 2012 23:56:56

    I'm thinking weekends of July 7, 14, or 21 and weekends of August 4, 11, 18, or 25 These are Saturdays but I said weekends so you can choose Sundays. So choose like Idk.....2 or 3 days that we can meet? I'll put up a poll if I can. I'm fine with whatever days given so...

  41. Nachoaddict
    Date: Tue, May 29 2012 04:55:14

    Anytime mid-late August is good for me. I'm gone all of July and a bit of the beginning of August :/

  42. Quake
    Date: Wed, May 30 2012 00:10:20

    im moving out of the country in august. wont be back for years. so this would be my last and only gathering.

  43. kam
    Date: Thu, May 31 2012 00:04:49

    I added a poll for the location (thinking that I could add another for the date), so please vote for the location first. I guess in a week or so I'll change the poll to decide the date.

  44. JackyMacky
    Date: Thu, May 31 2012 00:19:14

    @Escorpio123 Vote for location.

  45. Kyoflow
    Date: Thu, May 31 2012 02:28:02

    personally i think itll just be easier if we do brea, or a large city, but i can make it to pretty much anywhere so whatever is most convenient for other people is fine by me.

  46. Nachoaddict
    Date: Thu, May 31 2012 02:53:29

    Either Brea or somewhere more south is good for me! @hoiboy and I are coming from the same area :D

  54. Zkhan
    Date: Sat, Jun 2 2012 23:26:53

    I probably wont be going if it's at westside pavillion mall. It's an hour and half drive for me :/ Im down for brea any weekend during the first 2-3 weeks of august.

  55. poisoned
    Date: Sun, Jun 3 2012 18:36:49

    I'm kinda fine with anywhere. I mean westside would be nice, it's a lot closer to me. Downtown la would also be nice, theres lots of resturants, a kino, etc. But it seems like a lot of people can't come if its not at brea.

  56. CBC
    Date: Mon, Jun 4 2012 05:45:43

    maybe one day i will go to these but i live like an hour from brea mall so ya.

    Updated first post with final location (most of the votes were for Brea or Doesn't matter, with only a couple requesting different location). I also created a new poll to help decide the final date. Please check all dates that are ok for you AND the dates that are not good. Hopefully that will give us a good idea of the best date.

  67. kam
    Date: Thu, Jun 14 2012 18:35:52

    I think most people already voted...from the looks of it, August 11 seems to work for everyone. The next best choices would be July 7 or July 21 (we have the most votes on those dates, but Nacho wouldn't be able to make on those dates.) Nacho, where are you coming from? I don't remember you living near LA. If this is the only gathering you can make it, we should definitely make an extra effort to make it on Aug 11. Also, zkhan suggested we rent the room we used a couple years ago near Brea. Are people interested? If we all pitch in, the price might not be too bad, but it is pricey for one person to cover it all.

  68. Kyoflow
    Date: Thu, Jun 14 2012 21:54:19

    @kam Dammit I just logged on to say I can't make August 11 Lemme know if it ends up being moved to some other date Is it possible to do July 7 since many more people would be able to make it...

  79. Zkhan
    Date: Mon, Jun 18 2012 23:16:35

    It'd be best if I the gathering was hosted in august sometime (maybe the 2nd or 3rd week as posted in the poll). But for July, I am not so sure... I'd be alright if it was on the last weekend of July. But of course, accommodations should be made so that the most number of people can attend. @Nachoaddict 's house? :P

    Yeah if Zkhan and I don't go to the Socal gathering, we're gonna have an Irvine gathering so no worries :P @hoiboy Yeah my parents said that August 11th is fine :) But of course if more people are going to go during July you guys should just have it then without me xD

  82. Kyoflow
    Date: Tue, Jun 19 2012 02:29:58

    so i think i could squeeze in 11th, but i wont be sure for awhile. and yay irvine gathering :D

  94. kam
    Date: Tue, Jul 3 2012 23:53:44

    Ok, let's go with August 11....while it may not be the best date for everyone, it seems to allow the most people to go (while still having plenty of votes). So i'm gonna set the date for Aug. 11

    Errr...I realize that it's impossible to please everyone, which is why I made the poll so you could put down the dates you cannot make it. Since nobody voted NO on August 11, I assumed most people could make it :/ It seems that NachoAddict is the only one who can't make it on July 21st. @Nachoaddict , can you double check that you can't make that day? If you can manage to make on that date, then I think we can change it to July 21st. Otherwise, we're sticking to August 11...sorry :(

  104. kam
    Date: Tue, Jul 17 2012 17:30:54

    Ok, to be fair...I'm gonna have to stick with August 11 as the final date. Those who can't make it...I'm sorry, but you didn't vote "NOT August 11" :/ I understand that the poll is not the ideal tool for deciding a date (as it doesn't allow you to change the votes once you've voted), but that's the best thing we got right now. I'll try to think of a better way of handling this in the future (we always have a hard time deciding dates). For those who can't make...well, I hope your schedule changes and you can make it...but at least...we're only a few months to december, so it shouldn't be long before the next winter gathering.

    Bring whatever you like/can. I'm bringing all my pen spinning related items so...... xD Maybe not the tools though. :/ And people like to sell or trade stuff.

  116. Kyoflow
    Date: Wed, Jul 25 2012 19:14:51

    @JackyMacky yea I'm aware of trading/buying/showing off pens, but I was more wondering if anybody is actually gonna bring modding tools into the mall (not suspicious to carry hacksaws around)

    I wouldn't take tools to the mall. Most of them can be considered weapons I'm pretty sure :/

  126. kam
    Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 18:38:52

    I think small tools (like X-acto knife, glues, etc.) are fine. Anything bigger than a pen case or that requires an outlet is probably too much and may be frowned upon. In other words, I would leave out any power tools just to be safe (unless you plan on going to someone's house afterwards and mod there).

  127. Kyoflow
    Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 21:06:59

    Lol I wish I had power tools for modding D: I'm probably gonna bring small pliers, tape, and a small x acto knife in that case. Just in case one of my more poorly made mods starts to fall apart.

  128. JackyMacky
    Date: Thu, Jul 26 2012 23:22:42

    K. I guess I'll bring some of my tools. :)

  164. Zkhan
    Date: Sun, Aug 12 2012 02:03:13

    @Nachoaddict, I literally have 2 full gigs of of clips/pics, you can just compress all the media into a .zip file and send it to me via mediafire or email and also, it was a great gathering, not many people, but still enjoyable nonetheless see ya this winter the gathering video will be edited and released about a week after I gather the clips from all the attendees.

    the gathering is in La Brea mall, which is nowhere near pennsylvania lol. im not sure how the winter gatherings usually are since i've never gone. and the cypher mod is two pens to the left of the cobra mod in the first pic i posted

    Date: Wed, Aug 29 2012 06:37:43

    irvine has enough pen spinners to have its own gathering, yet we all still drive to brea if we wanna go to so cal gatherings. and if you moved it, we would all hafta drive 50 min now, which would reduce the socal gathering to even fewer members.
