Bay Area/California meetup

[Pocketa]

Thanks! I might have a camera as well, but that's for the potluck mainly. I'm not very good with...stuff in general...and the concept of not losing it, so I may give it to my mom after the potluck.

2:30 is an overestimate, max it should take me is 20 if I have to wait for lights at every corner and if there's a walking-too-fast-law.

Friend from my camp I just finished up, "Yeah, the police there would be like: 'Halt: you are walking to fast. Either slow down or start running' ".

Ah, GS, how we will miss your eyebrows.

You realize you'll have to tell us the whole story now, right?

[Felixaar]

Okay guys, all is looking good. I don't know if I'll be able to post again prior to the meet up so if not see you there.

[SilentNight]

Alright, see ya then.

[sheepofoblivion]

I'd love to go, and I only live a couple hours east, but I'm not quite sure my parents would approve of me running off to San Francisco to meet up with a bunch of people I met on the Internet...

exactly my prdicamet (however you spell it)

also, can I get a summary of what's going to happen, I just saw this thread...

[Pocketa]

Wait, what more?

About his eyebrows?

*waves*

Hey everyone, I just joined the forums here last night, and as I was browsing today, I noticed this thread.

I happen to be in the bay area myself (According to google maps, 34 minutes away from Berkley.)

I was wondering when this was being held, and if I might join in and perhaps drag a friend or two? (At least one has read OotS, not sure about the other.)

[Icewalker]

No reason you shouldn't come along. It's happening around noon on the 23rd, place is, as mentioned, Eudemonia, which you should be able to find with internet maps of one kind or another. If you bring people, make them make accounts on the forum first

Haha, fair enough on the accounts thing. I'll get in contact with them this evening and tell them to get on here.

I should be there, just look for the 5'10" blonde girl. :3 Should be easy enough to spot.

[SilentNight]

Sweet, the more the merrier. Um if you don't want to read back, you should look for a short guy in a shirt that says "Felix", a guy with a maple leaf on his head (that's me) and a steam punk. Am I forgetting anyone?

Yeah...

I'm a girl.

Not just a steampunk.

I'm also the Head of Berkeley High Steamworks Dept., I was actually elected into the position, it has not been contested, and I got over 200 votes. Not even bragging.

Also.

I won't battle any girls for alpha position or dominance.

I already am alpha.

Only Serp is above me!

EDIT: Also, Icewalker is apparently tall.

And BTW:

I will be the triple-wielding-welder.

[SilentNight]

Duly noted. Oh yeah, averagejoe's a tallboy too.

[Alleine]

And I'll be the invisible boy wishing for the fairy Godmother to let me show up.

I'm seriously tempted to just take off and show up. But I'd rather not die just yet. Plus it would only start to be acceptable for me to do such things a couple days after the meetup when I level up to 18.

[SilentNight]

You'll be with us in our minds Alleine. See you next time then.

[Alleine]

This is totally frustrating. I can imagine the look on my parents faces if I ask to go. Its not a nice look.

BTW Silent. Your avvy is totally shirtless. It's a vest he's wearing. And looks mildly pirate-like. The hat makes it look very much more swashbuckler like though.

Yeah, I know it's just a vest, but people have been calling it naked from time to time. Go figure.

Yeah, I think all the guys better show up shirtless. I would too, but there's a No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service policy at Eudemonia.

*sigh*

Then how could we?

[Pocketa]

You can't, that's the sad part.

[SilentNight]

You can't, that's the sad part.

Ah, my bad, I'm a little tired, must've misread the post. I thought you meant we (the guys) could come shirtless but you couldn't.

EDIT: Although I've always wanted to walk into one of those stores without pants and demand service.

Do it! I'll have the camera and you can have a new avatar.

*You've got the looks, I've got the brains, let's make lots of money.*

Nah, but I may pack fanservice clothes, because I have to dress 'normally' for the potluck (jeans and a shirt) but I prefer my other clothes. I.e. bodice and dress. But the dress has a hole in it, so that idea might be out.

BTW, potluck will end b/w 12:30 and 3 now. So expect me whenever.

[Poison_Fish]

Excellent, I'm getting in a day earlier then I thought, so I can now assure I'll be coming.

Things to bring: Some magic decks (I can't promise they will be awesome, but i'll try to put together a few decent ones from what I can scrounge).

What else? I'll bring my computer just for the heck of it, I've got a few board games I could bring in myself as well: (Zombies, Frag, and a bunch of others laying around).

Decks don't need to be 'perfect'. I played against a guy from my best friend's group that was very stuck-up about his decks (i.e. "This card is worth more than all your decks combined" to which I replied, "It's your money you're wasting on cardboard"). I myself just have some premades, and I'm happy with that.

Computer, hmm? What games do you have on it? I won't bring my 'top most likely. There is no wireless at Eudemonia, at least free wireless, that I know of.

With games:

MAKE SURE TO LABEL THEM! I.e. strip of masking tape with your name and email/address/whatever on it. The store has lots of games, and if they look sort of broken in, they might think that the games you're taking out of the store are the ones from their personal public collection.

Oh dang, my rip-away tux and banana hammocks are all at the cleaners. I kid I kid. But seriously, I've got my hat, that's about as weird as you can get.

[Poison_Fish]

yeah, I've got all my board games labeled. I've worked/been to too many cons to have those mistakes happen again ;_;.

I remember the place having wireless when I went to the eventide release party, but you need a password to get in. I'm guessing they charge for it.

I've got a macbook myself, so not a lot of PC games. Just some Warcraft III, WoW, and a whole host of random turn based strategy games (dominions 3 being my prime). I haven't bothered installing windows, no major desire yet, though TF2 looks fun.

Oh, and java programs. Plenty of those.

On the note of the premade decks, they are cool, and I had a few, but I scrapped them to form other decks. I don't care about costs of cards (Unless I'm trading, I hate getting gipped), as I like surprises and I dislike the idea of buying a deck to win. I do like making random funny decks though. Granted, magic is just more a fun hobby then serious business for me.

If it were serious business for me and my friends, I'd have one extremely emo friend right now. Note to all; magic card boxes on top of cars going 65 mph on a 5 lane free way = pretty color explosion for all behind us.

Edit: and if we are going for weird dress ups here, I could walk around as a doctor, but that tends to confuse people. Also, lab coats are not comfortable when it's hot.

[Pocketa]

I laughed in real life when I heard that one.

I call it fanservice because my closest friends are my 'bros', and they called me flabby one day (I'm normal <maybe even thin-side> but flabby) so I wore my bodice, which makes everything firm (torso, back, stomach) and they poked it, and somebody mentioned fanservice, and it stuck, and I ended up dressing up in that outfit every Monday for Gaming Club (with a tiara and cape too, complete with lining, etc.) and wore the bodice every day.

Now that I have some awesome goggles (they fit my glasses underneath, thank goodness, and have shades and regular lenses) and a plethora of weaponry (including but not limited to a morning star, three steampunk gun-things, and a whip <a la Indiana Jones, not Bettie Paige>) as well as a bracelet/wrist band of metal/awesome thing that declares me the Head of Berkeley High Steamworks Dept. (I was elected, I'll tell the story later), I don't really just need the bodice for the outfit, but it helps.

Heh, wow. I take back what I said. That is definitely more noticeable than my hat.

[Pocketa]

Nobody wears hats at BHS, lots of people wore bodices.

'Cept you obviously.

[Poison_Fish]

Wow, that's rather armed to the teeth. Well, maybe not so much teeth, but still.

I remember back in my day (Because It's been a crotchety 3 years since high school... where's my cane?), there was formal fridays at BHS, along with plenty of silly hat days.
