    As usual...let's start planning for our next gathering. [B]Location:[/B] Brea Mall (in Brea, CA), food court. [B]Date and Time:[/B] [COLOR="red"]final date: Sunday, Dec 19th ~11am[/COLOR] [spoiler="old info"]This is what we usually need to discuss. For now, let's consider December and January. The only condition is that it's usually on a Saturday (because of my work schedule and travel distance) Priority will be given for long distance guest spinners (people coming from another state or country), since local spinners can always come to future socal gatherings. If there are no guest spinners, we'll try to accommodate people's schedule as much as possible. Note: it's never possible to find a date that fits everyone's schedule. Please post a range of dates that you're able to come to make it easier for the organizer(s).[/spoiler] [B]Attendees:[/B] I'll try my best to keep a list of people who are coming (or possibly coming). You don't have to be in the list to come, but it helps us know how many people are attending, and whether we need to find a better location. Also, some people might make an extra effort to come if they know a spinner they really like is coming (kinda creepy if you ask me, but it happens). [B]Carpool:[/B] Those of you who need or can give a ride, please post here in advance. [B]Trades/Sales:[/B] There seems to always be people who want to buy/sell stuff at gatherings. If you are looking for specific pens/parts, please post here as well, and I'll try to keep a list of things that people want to buy/sell here. [B]Events:[/B] We're usually pretty random when it comes to gathering...with everyone just doing their own things (spinning, talking, modding, etc.) But if you have something you would like to organize (workshop, batttle, etc.) or request, please post here as well so we can have a heads up. Other than that, let's start discussion for the next gathering. I'll update this first post as we get more current information (usually in terms of date, location, etc.)

    maybe not for this gathering but for next summer... you should consider making an overnight gathering, its a lot of fun! but you need a good amount of planning and a good number of ppl too...

    The day is not a problem, with time I can ask for permission. For mods, I'm looking somebody that has rsvp vortex or the original g2 vortex but the versions, Also Waterfall mod. Well, Brea Mall was really far from where I was, lol. But if there is not a closer location, then, it is ok I guess. I'm at Hawthorne City, I'm away 29.08 miles. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Hawthorne&state=CA&zipcode=90250&country=US&latitude=33.9148&longitude=-118.3521&geocode=ZIP

    @neoknux im pretty sure its in december

  21. ChauTran
    Date: Mon, Nov 15 2010 14:47:48

    Hi guys. I'll be back in SoCal for like 2 weeks from around 20th December.

  22. kam
    Date: Wed, Nov 17 2010 22:34:53

    I think two people were coming from out of town, neoknux and ChauTran. From another thread, it looks like neoknux is coming in Nov 20-24, and not in December like originally planned. That would mean this weekend, which is too last minute to put a gathering together. Sorry man, perhaps you can meet up with some people that live in LA? This is too last minute to make an official gathering. Let's see...we could try to accommodate ChauTran's schedule. Seeing how I can only do weekends, and the dates that Chau is in town, that would mean either the weekend of Xmas, or New Years's :/ I usually prefer Saturday's so I have Sunday to drive back to San Diego, but we could do it Sunday since saturday is either the 25th or the 1st. What do you guys prefer? 12/25 12/26 1/1 1/2

  23. tacohead12
    Date: Fri, Nov 19 2010 03:25:40

    Crap those all suck for me ._. Wish it could be the 18th of Dec. I have Xmas stuff on 25th and 26th and my super giant new years party going from 12/31-1/1 and I'll probably be exhausted on 1/2, plus I'm supposed to go to church on that sunday I think. Unless it gets cancelled for some reason. but of course gotta accomodate for people coming from afar. If it HAS to be one of those dates for sure 1/2 would probably have the largest chance myself and Knightpal coming. so yeah ._.

    hey TEK if i can get a ride down to SB could i get a ride to the gathering?

  25. Escorpio123
    Date: Sun, Nov 21 2010 07:55:23

    It depens on everyone's schedule, idk about those dates, maybe a week before 25 like somebody said too, but if there is no option I think I might be able to go still ;)

  26. kam
    Date: Sun, Nov 21 2010 18:02:06

    the 18th wouldn't work for Chau or my gf :/ But let's see what the rest say. If you know someone that should be coming but hasn't replied, please remind them to check this thread. Also, aren't most of you young? You should be able to party all night and then come to a full day gathering the next day :P

  27. tacohead12
    Date: Sun, Nov 21 2010 21:40:18

    Yeah. I could do it but then Idk if my parents will be up for driving an hour to Brea Mall after that ._.

    Date: Mon, Nov 22 2010 22:34:21

    Would the 19th work better for everyone? As far as I can tell, the only person who wouldn't be able to make it is Chau :/ Chau, are you able get to California a bit earlier? Otherwise it will be hard to make a gathering around Xmas or New Year

  33. tacohead12
    Date: Tue, Nov 23 2010 05:29:57

    19th would be better than any of the suggested dates. Im sure that I could convince my parents to let me skip church for a day :P

    Date: Tue, Nov 23 2010 19:35:36

    lol i got the text kam. I get home on the 18th so 19th should be ok for me

  36. Escorpio123
    Date: Tue, Nov 23 2010 20:36:13

    Saturday is the 18th, Sunday is the 19th. So if it is Winter Break Zkhan on the 20th, still saturday and sunday there is not school.

  37. TEK
    Date: Wed, Nov 24 2010 00:46:44

    Got kams text too. 18th or 19th is fine with me.

  38. ChauTran
    Date: Wed, Nov 24 2010 09:18:13

    Oh yeah, I booked a flight today and I'll be there on the 17th, 19th will be totally fine with me :) !

  39. kam
    Date: Thu, Nov 25 2010 01:20:36

    Ok, i'm calling the 19th to be the official date. Anyone else that's too lazy to come to UPSB to check/post in this thread can work their schedule around it :P I'm looking to buy/trade waterfall mod parts if anyone has them.

  40. tacohead12
    Date: Thu, Nov 25 2010 06:07:52

    I can get you parts but not G-spec grips >_> way too pricey lol. if you just want dr grip grips I can get it tho.

  41. Escorpio123
    Date: Thu, Nov 25 2010 06:54:05

    19th is horrible because is Sunday, and I just saw ChauTran comes on the 17th, so 18th would be fine for him too. Also TEK is ok with 18th or the 19th, pholord too. dang, the 19th really? Ok, this is what happens, on the 19th, I am in charge of the Valet Parking, so there is no substitution or excuse that I can give :( that's all. That happens every sunday. Saturday is good for everyone I think though right?

  42. RH
    Date: Thu, Nov 25 2010 16:07:35

    yeah i should be able to go 18th or 19th :D at anyrate, neon pink waterfall anyone?(yes i like pink)

  43. kam
    Date: Fri, Nov 26 2010 07:00:53

    ugh...18th is not good for me. usually I prefer saturdays, but just not that one. work deadline :/ escorpio, any chance to ask for the 19th off? or have someone switch days with you?

  44. poisoned
    Date: Sat, Nov 27 2010 02:25:28

    18th and the 19th both work for me, I'd personally prefer after the 25th, but it's not like that matters.

  45. tacohead12
    Date: Sat, Nov 27 2010 06:54:27

    Crap, I cant go on the 19th ._. Xmas service at church. 18th is good for me and knightpal. Otherwise we are screwed

    Gotcha. I also came across a ton of HGG's. Mostly red ones, but I've found a couple purple too. If anyone's up for some trading, all of them are available. I was also wondering if anyone around the brea/fullerton/la habra area would be down to meet up before the gathering. I've been severely bored recently. :P
