SoCal Meetup

[andi]

Ok, guys, it looks like it's our time...

If any of you are from Southern California (LA/OC/Riverside/San Diego/San Bernadino, etc), or if you just want to come OUT to Southern California, we're going to be having a meetup fairly soon. :3

The day and time of the meetup are to be determined by people's availability. If you are definitely going to be in the area (live here or intend to come), what days of the week and times are best for you? Do you have summer classes, do you need transportation, where are you coming from?

We'll have to work around traffic a bit, but it shouldn't be hard to manage. If we started in the afternoon on a weekday, we could probably go until fairly late in the evening and be all right. :3 Of course, this is all going to accomidate a large number of people (I hope...), so we'll see how this all flows.

A basic plan for this time of the year would be a few hours at Disneyland followed by a Long Beach picnic or something and then a trip to an Angels game. There's plenty to do around here, so just shout out any fun ideas you might have! :3

And now... my info! :3

Current Location: Orange, CA

Willing to travel to: Anywhere that's below wine country, not across an ocean, and not too far into Mexico, Arizona, or Nevada. :3

Availability - Any time! I have work at night but can always take a day off, and if I have class that day I can always skip it. The earlier we do the trip, the better. I'm supposed to be starting a *lot* of classes in September and will still be working full time then as well. This summer, I'll probably only be taking one. :3

Preferred Locations: I've never been to Legoland or Seaworld or Hearst Castle or the Winchester House... but again, I can always go there on my own if it's too far out of the way for a large group. I have an annual deluxe pass to Disneyland, so I'm always up for that too. :3

Transportation: I've got a car. I can drive somewhere and even pick up a few people and shuttle them around if need be (would prefer to shuttle over-18s, but will drive under-18s as well as long as I meet their parents first). :3

So, come on, guys, let's get a meetup going! :3 Toss some ideas out there, fill out the doofy form above, and let's see what we can toss together! :3

[Yami]

I'll be there!

If I have £500!

[andi]

GET £500 THEN, STINKY. :3 :3 :3

[SeckzyMicah]

I will so totally be there if I can help it. July 14th week looks pretty awesome.


Edits: Uh, Long Beach area would probably be the best for me. Since I'd probably go down there with my mom now that she is also planning on going (and taking two seperate cars would be a waste of gas.) And I'd love to take Rems to Knotts Berry Farm. :3 Long as it's not too hot.

[SeckzyMicah]

Then how come you post? There is seriously no reason to post unless you do happen to be living on the westerly portion of the US.

Update: 21st of July is looking better. My motherly figure is preventing me from going any earlier. And dental appointments.

If Yami gets that kind of money, it's to come drink with Mess, Tempest and I in NYC this summer.

[Panique]

Fine just keep having meetups halfway across the world from me. D:

[Aniday]

Disneyland sounds fun. We should obviously do it in the summer.

Pick me up Andi. I'm over 18.

[andi]

Can do, hun. Consider yourself chauffeured.

What town do you live in? :3 (PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting here)

So, let's set a tentative date for mid-July. Sometime in the week of the 21st, I suppose. As we get closer to the date (say, by mid-June), we can pick a particular day and time. :3

Obviously, if we're going to Disney or a theme park, we'll have to work this shindig around the park hours and rush hour traffic. Please don't forget to post *where* you guys are from so that we'll have an idea of how long your commute will be and what we need to do to avoid major traffic delays. :3

[Dark Link]

I'm game. I live in Los Angeles. The only potential problem I might have is transportation.

[andi]

I'll already be heading on a route up the 5 from Orange to Ventura. A stop in LA will be nothing when that's already planned. :3

If anyone else needs rides, just say so. :3 The car will be getting a bit crowded, but I think we'll all manage - and if worst comes to worst, I think there's a 7-seater I can borrow. :3

[musical zombie.]

I wish I could come. :< I don't live that far from California (Nevada), but my parents still hold the mindset that everyone online is a pedophile, so...

Maybe next time. In three years.

[Mrs. Kassi Aileron]

You can pretty much count me in. =3 (Andi, we still need to have our own meetup sometime soon since you're just a stone's throw away) I'm so glad you started this! <3 Also, the boy is moving next Tuesday. We'll both be in Riverside. I might be able to offer rides, but my car's not too crazy good. XD Um, I have no specifics yet cause I've got to hammer this out with Lex. We've got to plan some details, etc, cause we're both moving. Count us as a "Probably." <3

We are. We're all a gang of 55 year old fat men and this is all a ploy to get you in our sweaty, fat hands.

[Mr. Lexxi Aileron]

Post-mid-June is more than likely good for me/us. =D

[jman#1]

I can probubly go to long bech becase my uncel lives there pluse I live 5 miels away from LA

[Shikaino]

Alex and Kassi need to hurry up and not get married so I can actually attend their wedding :<

[andi]

They need to hurry up so I can! :O

<_< I'd bring along a camera, of course.

And maybe a laptop connected to a live webfeed or something...

[Shikaino]

LIES. YOU'D BRING ALONG ME.

[SeckzyMicah]

Err. Yah. Looks like I'll only be down there the week of the 14th. >.> Following week is no good.

[Fire Bird]

Wow, this sounds like lots of fun. Too bad I can't go. My parents wopuld kill me for even asking. Plus I doubt they want to pay for a train ticket or drive me from Northern California to Southern.

That works too then. :3

PM me and we can work out what date works best for peoplesorts. :3

[Mrs. Kassi Aileron]

Kassilex update: We are free from parentals and living in Riverside. Consider us super flexible available.

Birdy: Forget the rents. Come anyway! =D

[Jizzy]

I live in San Diego (yeeeeuh!), but transportation is a problem. Maybe once I start driving legally. :p

[Anime_Queen]

(Posting to say that Asia will cry forever if she doesn't get a postcard from this meetup! :< )

[Shikaino]

Dammit I want postcard too.
