    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? ^_^

    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

    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 ^_^

    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 ^^;

  27. Ice Cobra
    Date: Thu, Jul 15 2010 14:29:13

    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.

  30. Malch
    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.

  31. JC
    Date: Sat, Jul 17 2010 03:13:53

    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.

  38. JC
    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?

  41. JC
    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.

  42. Ice Cobra
    Date: Sun, Aug 15 2010 14:06:24

    hmm my band has a show that day, so maybe the weekend after that?

  43. JC
    Date: Mon, Aug 16 2010 02:28:03

    Where: Prudential Center Time: Sept. 25, ~12pm Is that good for everyone?

  44. Malch
    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.

  45. JC
    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...>.>)

  46. Ice Cobra
    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*

  47. Malch
    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

  50. Ice Cobra
    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*

  51. Afrit
    Date: Wed, Sep 15 2010 13:30:00

    So I guess like no spinners live around me? xD figures. Cape Cod >.>

  52. JC
    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

  53. Afrit
    Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 00:15:39

    Maybe when i get my liscence =/

  54. Ice Cobra
    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 ^_^

  55. JC
    Date: Thu, Sep 16 2010 03:38:17

    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

  60. Near
    Date: Sat, Sep 18 2010 17:07:46
