    bf i believe bart is about 9 bucks for a round trip mitch u want me to meet u at the ocean supermarket right?

  34. VendettaBF
    Date: Mon, Jul 19 2010 22:12:58

    for a round trip what does that mean? so to go there and back it will take 18 dolalrs? ><

  35. Tetsip
    Date: Mon, Jul 19 2010 22:15:37

    You pay once for round trips. So it'd only be $9. Same with airplanes, buy a roundtrip ticket just once for one fee.

  36. blahblahting
    Date: Mon, Jul 19 2010 23:12:50

    to clarify: its 4.30 for one way 8.60 for round trip.

  38. Archermitch
    Date: Tue, Jul 20 2010 17:45:16

    I can come to the fremont station anytime. When will you guys get there. I think 10:15 would be a good time to get there. we'll meet up before getting on the train. My number is 408-712-5913. Call each other to coordinate. Blah, let's just meet at the Femont station. So, Lanaro, Blah, Vendetta, and I are all going on BART?

  39. blahblahting
    Date: Tue, Jul 20 2010 18:56:25

    mitch can we meet up at ocean supermarket? i dont want my dad to drive the extra half hr or wtv to fremont :\ and i think we should take the richmond-bound train at 10:10AM, so we would arrive at berkeley ~10:55. We shouldnt be more than ten minutes late. so...mitch: how long does it take to drive to the fremont station from ocean supermarket? i'll meet up with you five minutes before we need to leave.

  40. AwonW
    Date: Tue, Jul 20 2010 19:46:08

    If anyone has any questions you can call me at 510-332-8836.

    It takes 25 minutes according to Google Maps. Which would mean you need to get there at 9:40ish, maybe a little earlier. My sister is driving me, so I'll have to ask her once I get back home tomorrow. We'll see if she's willing to take you. @Lanaro and Vendetta - 10:10 ride sound ok for you guys? @Awonw - I got your number on my phone now. :o Also, are you guys taking BART back home, too? My dad says he can pick me up at Berkeley, but I'm not sure if I'll take him up on the offer.

  42. blahblahting
    Date: Tue, Jul 20 2010 22:50:32

    your dad can just pick us up at the fremont station. we can call him like 20 minutes into the bart ride on the way back bf and lanaro: are u guys getting rides from mitch?

    That's what I would prefer, but we'll see. My dad might be in Berkeley already. You guys should try and get to the Fremont station on your own. My sister is just driving me as a favor, while my dad is gone. She might even have work or something and need to drop me off earlier. (We'll see when I get back in town and ask her.)

  46. Lanaro
    Date: Wed, Jul 21 2010 07:39:17

    I live in Fremont, so it should be easy for me to get myself to the 10:10 BART. And hoiboy, you're not coming anymore? D:

    I actually can proabably come. i just have to confirm my mom bought my train ticket to get back up to the bay area, but if she did then i'm in.

    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 16:06:27

    my cell number: 408.886.4983 is this 5-6 person (mini)gathering gonna happen? lol

  51. AwonW
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 17:45:40

    It depends if you guys want it to happen. We can always move the date, it doesn't really matter to me. The only thing that I care about is that if the date is moved, more people will definitely be able to come, since that clearly was not the case with this change <_<

    Be there by 9:30. Maybe 9:20-25. We'll pick you up at the front of the store. I think we should keep the date.

  53. blahblahting
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 19:19:05

    well i want this to happen, but i was expecting a larger turnout .__.

  54. Archermitch
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 19:29:34

    Why exactly aren't people coming? Is it because they have other plans on the day or they just can't come?

  55. blahblahting
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 20:12:22

    some of both, i believe.

  56. blahblahting
    Date: Thu, Jul 22 2010 20:14:01

    eh, i still wanna go even if only like 5-6 ppl are going :P my summers pretty busy after this/next week so it would be hard for me to make it to anything after this week if we reschedule.

    aww shit bf :o i wish you the best in ur procedure man^^ ANYWAYS, this is what my retarded, overprotective asian mom told me last night. She's going to drive me directly to Berkeley and pick up mitch (and possibly lanaro, idk) on the way. i just feel that this sucks orangutan COCK because its always awkward as shit around my mom, and she always wants other people's and their parents' contact info -_________- idk i just feel that the bart experience would be fun and that i'd rather get to know lanaro on the bart than in front of my mom -__- and ive always preferred to spend as little time with friends in front of my mom anyways because of her strict view on swearing, and especially girls -.- idk but if my moms taking me to berkeley, id prefer to go alone lol, but if its ok with you guys, then whatever, but dont expect a car ride with much talking ._________. edit: last night my mom essentially told me i was an incompetent, overconfident son of a bitch :| and im guessing hoiboy is laughing his ass off reading this <_< lol

    Well I finally got my plans all worked out and will be able to make it :happy:. But just to make sure, even though there is going to be a fairly small turnout this is still going to happen correct? I really want it to, because I still need to meet spinners in my area...

    It's definitely happening. :) Congrats on your first gathering. Can't wait to meet you. If anything, the small turnout would only encourage us to have another gathering later in the summer where more people could come, but we can talk about that later if there's people who want that to happen. @Blah - Well, at least you can still come. :/ I'd be fine with going with you in your car, but giving my dad's contact information is useless because he's out of town and probably won't pick up or anything. lol. Would you pick us up at the Fremont Bart station?

  65. blahblahting
    Date: Fri, Jul 23 2010 20:48:27

    LOL ION XDDD anywayys, mitch: we'd never touch the bart station. my parents would pick you up (at ocean mart?) and drive to uc berkeley. they would go do something else (knowing my mom, thats probably following 20ft behind me >_>) then drive us back from berkeley when everythings over

    Could you give me a ride from my house directly? It's 2 minutes from Ocean. I'll pm my address. It would really make things a lot easier for me.

    Hey guys! I met a few of you today, but not sure which of you I met. I was on my way to a yoyo club meet and saw you guys on the corner of Durant and Telegraph. Unfortunately I could only stop by for a minute and had to go eat, and you guys were gone by the time I got back. Anyway, it was nice to meet you guys. I wish I were more active in the pen hobby still, but it was good to see some pen spinning out and about.

    That would be Awonw, Blahblahting, Lanaro, aMP3d, and Cupofjoe. :) It was so trippy when you mentioned upsb. lol. All our heads exploded. How long ago did you spin? We saw the yoyo gathering later, too, but we didn't see you in the group.

    I added your reynolds to my cart, but I have to wait to order until embosses are in stock. D: Hopefully Awon uploads his videos soon. He has the majority of them. Edit: And also, I had mentioned that Littleboy had quit spinning. Here's the video I had mentioned --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMtOlyZ9d7E

    Haha, I know right? I spun it the whole SoCal gathering and he was like, "what's wrong with you? It's not that great." lol. I ordered our penwish order yesterday, should be here this week. I'm gonna make the mod soon hopefully. :D

    I really don't get why we had to change the date to the 24th all for POV who probably never ended up going. I was good for almost any date this summer except for the 24th which I forgot was my little sisters birthday so I didn't have a chance to make it. Bloods a little thicker then water so sorry guys that I couldn't make it, its just my mom would have killed me for missing my sisters b-day.

    We are open for gatherings all year long. You can always plan another one for those who didn't make it or would be interesting in attending another one.

    Your link does not work. It simply directs me to my own account playlist. I only had one clip of our relay and I sent it to aaron to upload. As for pics, my dad lost our card reader so I will upload the pics as soon as it is found.

    The playlist tab isn't enabled on your channel. Check your settings.

    Lol. Seriously, there's no playlist section on your channel. Maybe try logging out of youtube to see what your page looks like?
