    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. The location will most likely be the usual Brea Mall (Brea, CA). Sugestions for events, workshops, etc. are welcome and open for discussion. I'll keep this first post updated with the most recent details. Update: Date: 12/17/2011 around 11am until 4-5pm Location: Brea Mall, Brea CA (meet at the food court tables...it shouldn't be hard to spot the pen spinners) http://www.simon.com/mall/?id=233

    I thought you said your parents said that you can't meet with us spinners <_<, that's why you did not attend last 4 meetings :hmm:

    LOL, I have an excuse. :3 I have study groups for Calculus so I'll say we're going to Brea Mall for a study meeting. :lol: And I'll probably have my driver's license by then so I can drive there myself w/o having to notify my parents. :D

    I'm in, hopefully its dry this year haha. Last winter was during the worst rainstorm in years, I swear getting there was hell.

  28. kam
    Date: Fri, Nov 25 2011 19:05:55

    Ok, sorry for the delay, but I think we can narrow the dates down to two days: 12/10 or 12/17 I think that anything earlier is too soon. I can't make it on 12/3, and based one the calendar, the last 2 weeks for December are also too close to Xmas and New Year's, so most probably would already have plans. What do you guys think...please vote. Edit: Added a poll to this thread. Please mark the days that work for you. Thanks.

  29. Zkhan
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 05:42:14

    Im going to have to go with the 17th, but im unsure if i can go if it's going to be the day after school ends. I'll see what i can do.

  30. Quake
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 05:53:16

    ugh i really wanna go but i dont know if i have the means to.

  31. Escorpio123
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 06:13:55

    I would like to go for the 17th so I have more time to ask for permission lol :D

  32. Nachoaddict
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 06:18:46

    17th sounds all right to me. That's the day right after school ends for me too ^_^

  33. Cloud
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 20:37:48

    I know for sure I can't go on the 10th. The 17th is when I get off so that seems best. And @Nachoaddict I wont need a ride. My parents wouldn't be too happy about me going with someone I've never met anyways. I'm pretty sure my parents would be fine with dropping me off at Brea. So unless you need a ride, that's the plan for me.

  34. Nachoaddict
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 20:40:26

    Nah I won't need a ride. I just asked and theysaid it would be fine ;)

    I'm pretty fucking SoCal

  42. Zkhan

    then what's stopping you from coming bro? XD i'd like to meet you ^_^

  43. sangara
    Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 02:34:04

    I'm going to be in NorCal on the 17th.

  44. kam
    Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 10:25:12

    ugh..it looks like I'll have to call this one on the 17th. Sorry sangara...i was hoping you could make it this time, but it looks like we don't have a lot of people as it is, and the majority cant' make it on the 17th. I guess I should have started this thread earlier, and opened the poll with more options right from the start...my bad...bad planning on my part. Maybe we can make a small get together in January or February...november and december are some of the busiest months for me, so I have a hard time planning. Alternatively, you could ditch whatever you're doing in Norcal and hang with us...I'll buy you dinner if you come... how's that? ;)

  45. sangara
    Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 11:23:08

    Nah it's cool Kam I accept my fate. Summer SoCal gathering here I come, I'm out of town to celebrate my birthday (the 16th) with friends and family so I'd totally ditch otherwise. D:

    Nooooo! Less likely to go on 17th. Why did my school have to start winter break on the week after!? WHY?! And what time do you guys start/usually arrive. Because I have tutoring from 1-3pm. :/

    Date: Thu, Dec 1 2011 02:16:59

    Is someone going to design a Socal Winter insert? :D

  50. tacohead12
    Date: Thu, Dec 1 2011 03:57:27

    Yay :D I can most likely go. So that would mean myself, Knightpal, and DJspin are in :P Maybe some extra people who are noob will come with us too haha.

  51. Zkhan

    You're not only spinning pens, you're fraternizing with people who share the same interest as you. In fact I'd argue it's not about the spinning as it's about the community.

    Since I am working with Grant on both of our documentaries, I feel that it is necessary to pass on his details to those that may be to be filmed. He is unable to make it to this Socal gathering, but if any of you have free time and want to be filmed, feel free to contact him. [quote="Grant Inaba"] Please feel free to pass on my information to any person in the SoCal area who might want to be filmed or interviewed and I can certainly try and schedule time with them individually or in a group at a later date since I am in the SoCal area quite often. If anyone does film the event they are free to send me footage for archiving purposes. Grant Inaba [email][email protected][/email] [/quote]

    Sad I missed it, it's funny though I'm working in a building literally a block from Brea Mall, I pass it every morning.
