    hmm...maybe if there were more than just people's names tagged here, we could organize a gathering/get together. I'm also in San Diego...what part of SD are you guys from?

    I live really close to San Diego State University (not UC San Diego) basically I live close to the Vietnamese part of town, which is nice- Pho Ca Dao is the best!!!!

    We make up the novice spinners of SD. Most of us are just beginning, but some (dylan, jet, and I) have been spinning for longer. I'm really bad at spinning but the only reason I keep doing it is because I love it and want to get better. I know quite a few Pho places. I used to eat at Pho Ca Dao in Mira Mesa every week but I'm not sure how many are named that.

    LOL you want to meet there? I say we go to some library meeting room or park :D

    @kam where are you in SD?

    It doesn't matter what skill level you guys are at...it's always fun to hang out with other people that share the same hobbies. Besides, I'm not that good compared to some pen spinners, despite being spinning longer. Anyways, I'm in constant movement...sometimes in Rancho Bernardo, National City area...weekdays I work in Solana Beach, Saturdays I usually go to San Marcos then Carlsbad. Anything north of that would be more of a hassle to meet on a regular basis (and anything south of that wouldn't be within US borders...lol). Are you guys in school? What's your schedule like? I'm pretty busy with work and other things nowadays, but if you want to meet up, I can find sometime (weekdays at night, except wednesday), sat after 5pm or before 11am, or sunday (probably the best day).

    kam...how old are you, LOL. Rancho Bernardo is pretty close. across the 15-ish.

    I know of at least 2 Pho Ca Dao, the Mira Mesa one and the one by my house. My schedule is about to get a bit tight, I'll be going to Mesa College on Mon and Wed Night (starting Jan 23) and Miramar college on Tues and Thurs mornings. Weekends are best for me at this time, cuz I work during the week.

    double posting... What about Tea Station/Ten Ren in the convoy area? Maybe we can get a spot outside? I know it gets really busy there most of the time tho, so it would be hit or miss as far as getting enough table space. Tapioca express is not far from there, but again, it gets busy often. I haven't been to those places in like a year so maybe its different now?

  17. greyziekid
    Date: Fri, Jan 13 2012 07:15:45

    Tapioca Express is usually very, very busy. If we go there, we should probably go on a weekend around 3-5pm-ish. Tea Station the same. (Cause not many people eat in the afternoon) XD

  18. jet
    Date: Tue, Jan 17 2012 05:12:56

    The one in convoy is actually a pretty good idea :D @greyziekid can i haz a ride if my parents r busy?

  19. greyziekid
    Date: Tue, Jan 17 2012 05:14:49

    lol i was going to ask you for a ride -.-

  20. kam
    Date: Tue, Jan 17 2012 20:16:02

    That's fine with me. As long as there are tables or somewhere to sit down :P What day and time would be good for you guys? I'd prefer a saturday afternoon or sunday, but week nights might work too (depending on the day).

  21. greyziekid
    Date: Wed, Jan 18 2012 05:26:10

    i'm busy every weekend from now until feb 12.... chinese new year =|

    Kam I miss you, I'm coming to this.

  25. Hahnda
    Date: Sun, Jan 22 2012 06:12:25

    what about Bakery Cafe on convoy just south of Balboa, that's where we used to go for korean-english language exchange meetups, it's run by a really nice family. I hope it's still there... btw Feb 18 works for me at this point

  26. kam
    Date: Sun, Jan 22 2012 12:13:03

    that works for me. but since the 18th is a sat, I probably won't be able to make it there before 4pm kam

  27. jet
    Date: Mon, Jan 30 2012 02:14:36

    I can't make the 18th.... 19th? :dunno:

  28. greyziekid
    Date: Mon, Jan 30 2012 07:06:41

    Dang, something just popped up... 19th? lol

  29. kam
    Date: Mon, Jan 30 2012 22:52:51

    hmmm...the 19th is my birthday, so I'm not sure if I have plans. I guess if we only stay for a couple hours that might be fine.

  30. jet
    Date: Tue, Jan 31 2012 00:59:26

    @sangara I'm looking forward to meeting the spinner who made the lemon mod ;)

  33. jet
    Date: Wed, Feb 1 2012 01:09:26

  34. jet
    Date: Thu, Feb 2 2012 04:58:59

    @sangara c'mon guys, can we do this?

  35. MystikSun
    Date: Thu, Feb 2 2012 05:28:10

    Meh. Wouldn't want to bother kam (or ANYONE for that matter) on their birthday :P

  36. jet
    Date: Thu, Feb 2 2012 05:46:19

    Very true. so the 26th? last day of break :D At tea station? that's a good place to hang out

  37. jet
    Date: Thu, Feb 2 2012 05:51:11

    aaandddd in the afternoon? 3:00?

    26th is pretty much perfect.

    Date: Fri, Feb 3 2012 01:17:22

    sweet. @kam are you okay with this? :D

    Im down also

  42. jet
    Date: Sun, Feb 5 2012 00:15:44

    ohhhh sh*t. I can't make the 26th, I'm in seattle then. D: Do you guys want to have the gathering w/o me? Or is another date OK?

  43. kam
    Date: Sun, Feb 5 2012 22:42:23

    I'm ok with the 26th. I'm not sure about the 19th. @jet we can always have more frequent get togethers. Doesn't hve to be only one time. I think otherwise it will be pretty hard to match everyone's schedule.

  44. sangara
    Date: Sun, Feb 5 2012 22:48:21

    I can only do the 26th, sorry jet.

  45. jet
    Date: Sun, Feb 5 2012 23:00:13

    meh. Okay, you guys can have the meet-up w/o me. @greyziekid can you get kam's autograph for me? XD

  46. jet
    Date: Sun, Feb 5 2012 23:02:40

    wait....can you guys do the weekend after?

    That, but don't change the date because of me, if it's on the 26th then I'll show up, if it's not, see you guys at the next one.

  49. kam
    Date: Tue, Feb 21 2012 19:06:24

    Sorry for the late reply...I think the 26th is better for me as well...sorry @sangara

    I'm there.

  52. kam
    Date: Thu, Feb 23 2012 06:03:47

    It's getting close to the weekend already...let's double check Feb 26th Sunday, around 3pm (I don't mind doing earlier/later, but that's what was previously suggested for some reason)? At Tea Station? Somebody please post the address so there's no confusion. let's do this.

  53. kam
    Date: Sat, Feb 25 2012 06:02:55

    you guys still going? @sangara

  54. Kion

    @baixiongmai is going also

  55. MystikSun

    Nah, my parents won't let me >.>

  56. sangara
    Date: Sat, Feb 25 2012 09:09:17

    Someone post the address or Kam and I are just going to hang out by ourselves.

  57. kam
    Date: Sun, Feb 26 2012 04:13:05

    well, with the lack of response, I'm not sure how many people will show up...but I googled and I'm guessing this is the location http://www.yelp.com/biz/tea-station-san-diego-2

  58. sangara
    Date: Sun, Feb 26 2012 04:23:41

    So 3pm there?

  59. faCiem

    MAYBE.

  60. kam
    Date: Sun, Feb 26 2012 07:40:15

    @sangara, are you driving all the way down from Long Beach mainly for this? I'd hate for you to drive so far and only spend a few hours in SD (assuming you're driving back the same day before it gets too late). If you're down here earlier, let me know. I have to run some errands in the morning, but can probably meet earlier if people show up earlier.

  61. jet
    Date: Wed, Feb 29 2012 06:35:13

    @sangara how was the gathering? I heard from greyziekid that some people didn't go. Seattle was freezing, btw

  62. kam
    Date: Wed, Feb 29 2012 20:54:01

    Actually, I don't think anybody from UPSB besides me and sangara showed up. If you did, I apologize...we waited for 45 min, but had to move because of the cold weather and my fiancee needed an outlet for her laptop. But otherwise, it was a good 'gathering' (if you want to call it that...lol). @sangara and I talked a lot about new trick ideas, training techniques, our views on pens, tournaments, the future of PS, etc. Surprisingly, we didn't actually film anything, but that's ok. I'm sure we both learned something from each other. The gathering lasted about 4.5 hrs, then sangara had to drive back up. We're thinking in the future we'll maybe do a monthly get together, but a bit north around the Carlsbad area, so that it's halfway between LA and San Diego...maybe we'll have more people show up that way.

  63. jet
    Date: Fri, Mar 2 2012 01:57:55

    Wow....that's really messed up. Kind of dissapointed :shake: See you at the next one then

  64. sangara
    Date: Fri, Mar 2 2012 02:09:03

    Yeah come to think of it, Kam and I basically deconstructed every aspect of penspinning. Twas good times. Anyway we're thinking of doing more of these so I guess we'll keep you guys posted.

    Date: Mon, Mar 5 2012 21:13:09

    I know this is last minute, but anyone interested in meeting up this sun 3/11 in the Carlsbad or Oceanside area? Around noon/lunch time? I'll be in the area with not much to do so if you guys want to meet up, that would be cool...if not, no biggie. let me know, Kam @sangara EDIT: Sorry...got the date mixed up...it's sun 3/11 and not sat 3/10

    @sangara, do you mind meeting in Vista instead? There's a starbucks there that's closer to where I'll be (and plenty of other stores/food places in the area) http://g.co/maps/kb5w4 We can meet at around 11:30. Let me know if that's ok...or I can pick a place in Carlsbad or Oceanside, but I'm not familiar with the places around those area enough to pick a good PS location. We'll probably meet there and maybe get some food if you guys are up to. I can stay until mid afternoon (around 4ish), but possibly later. Either way, I'll be around the area...so let me know if you guys are coming
