Post by: Barnes on November 28, 2008, 02:54:56 PM
So, will there be one this year? Around or on New Year's Eve? At a mall, bowling alley? Where and when?
Just asking.

I dont know, I didnt go to the last ones but I have been to christmas parties and those are a buttload of fun plus its cheery and social given that its in a cozy home. It is also easy to have people mingle and catch up on stuff rather than be mallrats and be akward

@Rei: Baby if you go imma be so happy x) but I might steal your shu umera eyelash curler ; ; <3 do want

=) we should do a gift exchange sarah! like we can keep it to a minium amount of spending and such

Probably not on the day OF New Year's Eve, but if we did something the day before or something I'd most likely (unsure of how things will go so far) be able to come.

There's no way I can be making any San Jose or San Ramon dates anytime soon. If it was a meetup that I could get to easily via public transporation from Oakland/Alameda area that would be really cool, and I could totally do that...but...yeah...

Hey maybe later this month or early next month we could make at Piedmont's Dr. Comics & Mr. Games area? Or we could meet in Jack London? Just a thought...

Everyone is out for Xmas, and with it being on a Thursday this year my schedule is a bit on the hectic side.

Since Sarah had her Xmas Gathering I'll reconsider a Beginning of the year PArty.

No guarantees, but at least I have a good time at my own gatherings :P

I think.

*begin crazy thinking mode*

There are a few options in this: we can either have a beginning of year party(which would work out), or we could go ahead with this crazy idea that popped in my head right now...

Since everyone is gonna be busy with Xmas and such, that day is already out of the question and I can tell that some people(i.e. me) have already made plans for new years; Between Xmas and new years, there's a 2-3 day window open(Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) with which we can do a last-minute hangout. This has been tested before with the Smash Bros. gathering, albeit that had more time around it to plan it out and it worked seemingly well. If we go that route, we have about one week to make this happen.
If we take the other road, most of the small kinks and minute details can be worked out sufficiently.

*End crazy thinking mode*

Jerry, its all up to you.

Well I have no idead (at least until this Friday the 26) what my schedule is going to be like for the Beginning of the year weekend, but I'll just cross my fingers and hope I'll have a full day off to possibly throw something together.

I just realize I may have to make it smaller (say about what 20-ish people or less? :P) because the house is a bit of a mess and theres only so much room for the gaming room (where everything happens... literally)

Mario Party was fun, heck if anyone has Mario Kart on wii and (I'll need 4 wii motes) and I also have this game called Dokopon Kingdom which is pretty fun, but more of a slower paced RPG board game if you will.

That or would could make it a regular movie, gamer, board gamer - random what the heck hang out night. again I'm just more happy to have another gamer help me shoot zombies on left for dead, or resident evil 5 or Rock out with Rock Band 2. Now with MOAR songs!!!

so yah, theres definately a will to have a gathering, just the timing is WAY off due to personal responsibilities (i.e. to lame jobs to pay the bills) :P

besides, i think the epic gathering (i think one of my bday gatherings) was like what less than 3 days planning on the boards? or something liek that.

Anyway, its the holidays, small or big groups, im just down to hang out almost whenever XD
