Date: Tue, Jun 29 2010 04:53:37
i think it would be really cool to get a group of spinners just from massachusetts. to make videos, and talk about pen stuff. and if were good enough, maybe even talk about competition :] but yea, if anyone is interested, please reply, and we can talk however you want, through PM or whateva. thanks ~ ice cobra oh yea, and if theres enough people, then we could all have a big gathering before the summer gets over, or during a vacation ^_^

All east coast states would be impossible... there's no way you can get all the spinners from Florida up to Mass. And even though I live in NY, which is relatively close (3-4hr drive), I still wouldn't go if it's in Mass. In order to have a tournament, we'd need probably all the spinners from the east coast to make it a decently sized tournament...but like I just said, east coast gathering would be impossible. There's no way you can decide on where to have it either -- everyone would want to have it in their state so they don't have to move -.- For you to meet more spinners, your best bet is to have a Boston Gathering or something... but as you probably know, there aren't many spinners in Mass. The gathering will definitely have less than 10 spinners. (It'll probably have about 5 spinners tops) There's nothing you can really do about that.. Mass just isn't a heavily spinner populated state. But hey, gotta work with what you have :\

thanks JC youve helped me out alot :P but yea its understandable, since most spinners are in california lol. oh well, yea hopefully something can work out. hope for the best, right? ^_^ -
Date: Sun, Jul 11 2010 03:59:22
Yea... when I went to southern california last summer, the gathering had like ~40 people... norcal has a lot too. But compared to the asian countries/their gatherings, that isn't a lot at all. I went to a small scale gathering in Hong Kong one time, and that easily had ~15-20 people. America in general just doesn't have too many spinners, and especially not east coast. But gotta make the best outta what we can

Date: Mon, Jul 12 2010 21:19:27

yea i understand. but once you have the time & place established for NYC, i can decide if i can make it or not. but for the mass one, i could round up some people if they cant get a ride ^_^ -
Date: Tue, Jul 13 2010 00:12:31
You'll just have to make it worth our while, JC. :hmm:
-
Date: Thu, Jul 15 2010 03:32:10
so if we make a mass gathering, where would it happen? burlington mall? northshore mall? prudential? may take a bit longer for you guys out farther west, but we need somewhere convenient for mostly everyone

right right. i say either Boston or Worcester. Worcester would be more convenient for me, but Boston may be for everyone else :P whaddya think? -

Too much pressure T___T nyc gathering's are usually pretty small, don't bother ^^; hm.. so it seems there's a solid 4 people now? me, malch, ice cobra, and flarion i know where prudential is, no idea where the other two malls are i'd like to keep it within reach of the T-stations, that's all i need ^^; -
Date: Thu, Jul 15 2010 14:29:13
there would be 5 people cuz i spin with spinnin_bro. i keep telling him he hasta go on UPSB more!! but ok, so itll be at prudential?! convenient for everyone?

It would probably work for me, but id need to find out where prudential is... and id need to arrange a method to get there and Worcester wouldnt work for me, as it would be a hassle to get there Also, when would we be having it? -

yea idk where prudential is either :o i nvr rlly been 2 boston x] i go to newton alot though. BUT for me, the end of august is good. also weekends in september. i think september for JC because thats when he'll be back in boston. -
Date: Fri, Jul 16 2010 02:44:50
JC when will you be coming to Boston? The end of August is probably best for me but I could do September as well.
-
Date: Sat, Jul 17 2010 03:13:53
the first day i can move in is september 1st I think... so anytime after that :\
-
Date: Fri, Jul 23 2010 18:50:50

-
Date: Fri, Jul 30 2010 14:19:58
This isnt really related, but for JC, if you have access to the T, Im assuming you mean orange, red, green, blue, and purple and all those? Because if you have access to purple, you could meet me like 10 minutes from my house, lol

Um... i don't think a purple line exists o.0... unless you mean the blue line? what stop would i get off at to get to the t-stop by your house? i'm all the way at the end of the green line lol -

The purple (commuter i guess is what you would call it) line. seen here: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.hio.harvard.edu/settlinginatharvard/images/t_map.png&imgrefurl=http://www.hio.harvard.edu/settlinginatharvard/livinginthecommunity/transportation/&usg=__QG1E3sxrZgbg0qAWWCMGeruNK68=&h=764&w=740&sz=151&hl=en&start=0&sig2=nxiqfdTqnrIRS8y9sDqWAw&tbnid=8p8JfwjHAKnyjM:&tbnh=132&tbnw=128&ei=jOVUTOnJK4nHnAfpxOTYBQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dboston%2BT%2Bpurple%2Bline%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D807%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=322&vpy=163&dur=490&hovh=228&hovw=221&tx=144&ty=134&page=1&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 holy fudge, long link, but, you go to the main purple station and take a train out of there.
-
Date: Wed, Aug 11 2010 07:43:24
oooh, it's a commuter rail... hm, if that's the case, i can access anything that the commuter rail/purple line goes to too.. so if there's a better place to meet up, i can go there too as long as the purple line is by it oh, and i forgot.. ello goes to NU, so he would probably be able to come too :]

so wanna establish a set meeting date/place?
-
Date: Sun, Aug 15 2010 08:17:49
I'm still fine with the Prudential Center, they usually have plenty of empty chairs in the food court and other places to just chill. And as for day, maybe Sept 18th? It'll give me some time to settle into school again and it's a Saturday.
-
Date: Sun, Aug 15 2010 14:06:24
hmm my band has a show that day, so maybe the weekend after that?
-
Date: Mon, Aug 16 2010 02:28:03
Where: Prudential Center Time: Sept. 25, ~12pm Is that good for everyone?
-
Date: Thu, Aug 19 2010 01:25:41
I have an all-day cross country meet the 25th. And every Saturday I have practice from 9 till around 11:30 but I could make it work. We could also look at Sundays. When do your classes start, JC? I was thinking Thursday September 9th could work because it's Rosh Hashanah.
-
Date: Thu, Aug 19 2010 21:26:35
my school doesn't celebrate jewish holidays ^^; it's a catholic school :X soo.. sept 26th? or sept 19th? and my classes start at 11am on thursdays and end at 4pm, but that's just for thursday some other days start at 9am, and some days end at 9pm (Wednesday... fuuu- =.='' 9am-9pm, with a little break here and there...>.>)
-
Date: Tue, Aug 24 2010 15:47:14
lol alright i think those sundays would work. either of them. the 26th preferably, cuz the band has a show on the 18th. i may be wiped out xD *if meet was the 19th*
-
Date: Tue, Aug 31 2010 23:52:34
Sept 26 is good. Noon? Anything else we need to plan?

nope..not really, i don't have any plans, i was just gonna chill/eat/spin ^^; i'll try to bring sailorboy and ello along too :] soo.. who's coming, i need a confirmation again me, malch, ice cobra, maybe sailorboy/ello, maybe Pen(pen, you should come :) ) i just want anyone else coming to confirm that they can come to Prudential Center on Sept. 26th at noon -
Date: Fri, Sep 10 2010 00:40:01
ok i spin with 2 kids in my school...they both have accounts actually. 1 = 'mannix' and the other = spinnin_bro so ill see if they wanna go too :] and i may bring a friend to do some filming? maybe *my gf*
-
Date: Wed, Sep 15 2010 13:30:00
So I guess like no spinners live around me? xD figures. Cape Cod >.>
-
Date: Wed, Sep 15 2010 16:10:04
mhm yeah, cape cod is pretty far from the gathering place... but i googled mapped it at around 35-45 min, which i don't think is an unreasonable distance if you wanna go -- it takes me about an hour to get to nyc gatherings when i'm in NY, and it takes loanshark like 2-3 hours i believe to get to NYC gathering from Connecticut too, so 40min isn't too bad
-
Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 00:15:39
Maybe when i get my liscence =/
-
Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 00:36:32
yea dude the meeting place is like 2.5 hours from my place. but can we have like something on the 25th? because i will be in boston that day anyway. its Berklee's open house day, and i plan on attending there for video game music ^_^
-
Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 03:38:17
won't you be busy that day then lol?
-
Date: Fri, Sep 17 2010 00:15:23
25th doesn't work for me... Sorry. D:
-
Date: Fri, Sep 17 2010 04:54:02
yeah, let's just try to keep it on the 26th please..
-
Date: Sat, Sep 18 2010 15:55:26

It was just discussing the who, when, where of the gathering. The gathering will be me, Malch, Ice Cobra (if he can make it on Sunday..?), and maybe sailorboy24(i have yet to ask him though, he attends the same college as me). So yeah, it's gonna be pretty small lol Place: Prudential Center (I just looked up Medford, you're like ~15 min away from it so not too bad =]) Time: Sunday, September 26th at ~12pm -
Date: Sat, Sep 18 2010 17:07:46
All right =) Yea, quite small meeting indeed xD edit : 15 mn with a car, but with bus + train it's 1 hours xD doesn't matter
-
Date: Sat, Sep 18 2010 17:20:05

-
Date: Sat, Sep 18 2010 22:12:47
uh yeah, sure, whoever wants my number, just PM me but i'm from NY.. not boston =.='' so it's not like i know this area super well lol, but i've been to prudential a few times soo it should be fine
-
Date: Tue, Sep 21 2010 21:22:43
:o How lucky is it that our gathering is during the one week Near is near. lol.
-
Date: Tue, Sep 21 2010 21:32:14
lol, well, near is gonna be around the area for the whole school year :] so we can have more with him if you guys want he's pretty close to me so i might chill with him more later,but you guys are a bit further so i duno if you guys are willing to :( but gathering this sundayy, can't wait :]
-
Date: Thu, Sep 23 2010 00:23:42

Fail man.. fail. Alright.. so still, gathering on Sunday with me, Malch, and Near attending then? lol
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 00:15:55
This is no good Ice Cobra. No good at all. Now I get to be the noob of the gathering.
-
Date: Sat, Sep 25 2010 00:54:51

-
Date: Sun, Sep 26 2010 06:03:49
Okay, gathering's tomorrow. Malch/Near.. I hope you guys are still going, cause I am..and I don't wanna go there and have no one show up (like what happened to Eso.. -.-) Soooooo, if you see thiss, can you guys give me a call and confirm that you guys are going and so that I can get your number? I think I'll try to be around the food court waiting for you guys, but give me a call so we can find out where we all are. Thanks guyss, see you two tomorrow :]

-
Date: Sun, Sep 26 2010 23:32:59
another fail but it's cool, we can set up another gathering if people want :] omg.. all my friends said meeting up with people from the internet is so sketchy -.-'' (which i guess it sorta is)... and then called me a creep cause everyone was younger than me ;___; but gathering was fun :] learned some new stuff from near, and expect to see a gathering vid from near sometime today or tomorrow!
-
