I heard/read it was fun, I saw some of the footage from last year even though it was short I was still quite bummed.

We must all get together this year.

No one requested the room in time, thus no forum panel.  I'm all good with meeting up with people at Fanime.  Living so far away I love putting faces to names during Fanime, without the panel that makes it hard.

Right then, I'm up for anywhere really as long as it's on the Con grounds.

Post by: RyuHayabusa on May 13, 2009, 07:41:35 PM
If you guys meet in front of the con center, where the fountains are, I'll show up since the Macross F Cosplay Gathering will be on sunday at 1 p.m in the same vicinity. If You guys move it somewhere else, then yeah, can't come, cause I'll be taking pics of the gathering.

Title: Re: Forums gathering at Fanime?!
Post by: Liquid on May 14, 2009, 05:00:21 PM
Well, I don't know the con grounds, so yeah. But I agree with possibly NOT doing the meeting at the fountains, since I've read in other threads that pretty much every other meeting is in the same place and it's gonna be stupid crowded.
Title: Re: Forums gathering at Fanime?!
Post by: SimaSeph on May 14, 2009, 07:31:32 PM
Granted, just about everyone meets at the fountains and there are a number of gatherings that happen there as well, but I would recommend meeting in front of the fountains, closer to the actual street, because no one ever really thinks to stray too far from the con grounds. Or we could say in front of the convention center by the 3 flagpoles close to the Marriott.
Title: Re: Forums gathering at Fanime?!
Post by: narutofan17 on May 14, 2009, 07:51:20 PM
We could meet at the park across the street.
Title: Re: Forums gathering at Fanime?!
Post by: XpHoBiaX on May 15, 2009, 12:04:01 AM
We could meet at the fountains, then move to a better and less crowded location. Cuz the fountains are like a major "you can't miss this" type of thing for people.

narutofan17:
The park with the turd-thing-that-is-supposed-to-be-a-snake monument? That's the only park that came to mind.  :P

You should still be able to at least walk over and say,"Hi!"

(If not, I will have to assume your mohawk is a dangerous weapon and peace bond it to your waist.)

Title: Re: Forums gathering at Fanime?!
Post by: XpHoBiaX on May 26, 2009, 07:03:46 PM
No problem gais! ;) I met a lot of you outside of the gathering so it was really awesome!!!
I just took out my dreads today. It feels so weird to have short hair again. X3

I may try to have a summer/end of summer lake gathering, as the water in the lake has come up and looks so nice now. Maybe have one in July. Too many bdays in August to try one and I'll be moving in september to Fresno. @_@
It all depends on fanime recovery time and all that nice stuff.

Also, my mom will be throwing a massive going away party for my bro who's leaving for bootcamp in September (14th). SEMPER FI! So, if it's okay with family, I'll throw up an invitation for that as well.

It was cool seeing some of you at this. sorry about leaving suddenly, but macross f gathering was being epic and needed to take shots. there's always gatherings after fanime so i'll see you guys then.

@Phobia: I can make said summer lake gathering if it happens. I need to go swimming and get out of the bay area for a weekend. keep us posted on that.

Ryu and others:
Right now, until June 25th, entry to the lake is $8 as opposed to $20+ bucks. I'll have to pick up info when I get back to the lake. I don't know if its for day use or actual camping. If it's for camping thta would be awesome, as I don't have any floor space for a lot of people. (unless sleeping in a big ol' tent under the stars is your thing :] )
If it's just day use, forget that.  I live on the lake, people can get in for free as my guest. I'd reccomend carpooling though...

I'll get the info first, before posting a lake gathering. O_o

I am at my moms' again to drop off a charity donation for an auction this weekend.....haven't gotten to officially rest up just yet. @____@

A lake gathering would be awesome.

I was roving around and only dropped by for 5 seconds, completely by accident, because Ari and Steve flagged me down.  I remember I was antsy to run off to do something..but I can't remember what.

Any sort of outdoorsy trip, I have an awesome rape/pedophile van that's great for sleeping if you're short on room and people don't want to sleep outdoors.  That seems like it'd be fun.

Good luck to your brother Phobia.  We've got a lot of marines over in the Rover department.  You should send him our way if he feels like staffing. ~_0  Any idea what his MOS/job is?  Is he going reserve or active?

Ari hit me. i was taking pics of the Bleach gathering(stupidcameraonlypicsigotoutsideofhotel) and she decided to slap me on the back for attention.
for teh camping-type thing, i have A LOT of supplies, and a 2 room tent that'll sleep ten (i can share). this should get some kind of planning bu i'm without a vehicle.

My brother is going to San Diego to Camp Penelton (sp?) He and his friends are going to boot camp under a buddy pact. he wants to be an engineer, like our Grandpa was. (Although gramps was army...lol)

Anyways, I was told that pricing for camping is way cheep for this month. I have to look at the pricing. Although, we could always camp out on the double decks  and grass behind the house. The water level is rising back to its normal level.

It'd be free, since I live right there smack dab on the lake. I think It'd work out nice since we're all in need of recovering from fanime.
I'll start a Lake Trip topic since a few people are pretty interested.
