Well kids it's that time of year again. The forums are going to meet up and hang out and that means FUN TIMES.

After last year's poll it was declared that the next meet-up would be held in lovely San Francisco, CA to appease our west coast pals that were too broke and/or lazy to go to the last three cons out east. Due to Jodie's trip to America for roller derby-ing, the dates have already been set for this shindig. We will be descending upon yet another unsuspecting city the second to last weekend in July (dates being the 22-25). As usual you are welcome to come early or stay longer, but for any interested parties the official dates are set for that Friday through Monday.

If you are at all interested in attending, let me know and I will add you to the running list of attendees.

See you guys in California!

(As per request all detail planning will occur via private group page on Facebook. Once you reply in this thread as either attending or probably attending, I will add you to the group. PM me to be added if you are a maybe that wants in on discussion or if we are not Facebook friends.)

i decided since moving to the west coast that i was pretty much almost definitely going to be making a trip to san francisco this summer, and that plan is still good and intact but the problem is that for the time being that trip doesn't really have anything to do with this so i have no idea what it looks like date-wise and i'm definitely not making two trips. anything can change this early though so consider me a very, very tentative maybe for now.

either way, hope to see you SFers when i'm there.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 08:26 »

I am SO in, and I'll be cranking Bathory the whole way there

valley_parade · « **Reply #3 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 08:37 »

Not attending, fuck youse guys.

Christophe · « **Reply #4 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 09:04 »

Consider me probably in. July? I'll probably be around; I'd still have to get those dates off of work though.

Metope · « **Reply #5 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 09:18 »

I'm regretfully not attending, fuck you.

probably. (okay,i realize that has been my answer for the last three whatevercon threads. it's just what i do)

Liz · « **Reply #7 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 09:27 »

We now have an event and a group on facebook, so I will be inviting people to both. Then again I might just delete the event as it's basically useless.

Johnny C · « **Reply #8 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 09:53 »

very much a "we'll see" at this stage as we're probably going to finally go on tour this august thanks to finding a drummer who understands how important it is to tour as a band

Johnny C · « **Reply #9 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 10:16 »

no i mean we've already found a guy

Christophe · « **Reply #10 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 10:18 »

If your drummer calls it quits before your SF date, consider me an In for skinsman. Or dude shaking tambourine.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #12 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 10:29 »

I have a friend who is going to cali for the summer and I was going to visit her maybe anyway so maybe? If I manage to save up enough money, I hear San Francisco is very far away though.

scarred · « **Reply #13 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 10:36 »

I'm a maybe. One of my friends and I were talking about cycling the West Coast. Although, if we make it as far as SF, coming from Seattle, I'd be surprised.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #14 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 11:47 »

Incredibly unlikely unless we win the lottery to finance both this and our move.

If we win the lottery we will buy rounds though.

squawk · « **Reply #15 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 11:47 »

I want to be in Johnny's band!

Anyway! Yeah. Probably in. Don't think I'm doing anything with my life this summer. My sister's getting married at some point but it's def not in July. And if I have summer school well it's the weekend so it ain't no thing.

Fuck yay

KvP · « **Reply #16 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 12:11 »

Much as I'd love to return to the city of my birth, San Francisco, I think I may be headed to cooler climes this Summer. I'll see if I can shake it.

Also somebody should definitely alert Yelley, this is something she will be interested in.

squawk · « **Reply #17 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 12:51 »

john why

KvP · « **Reply #18 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 12:56 »

I have made commitments!

I will do my best, I promise.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #19 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:00 »

I think I qualify as a 'probably' under current circumstances. I may not still be living in the area come July, but it shouldn't be too hard for me to take a few days off to come back.

If Johnny and Tania don't come I will be pouting SO HARD, though.

sean · « **Reply #20 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:15 »

oh guys so seeing as how i am an unemployed dude going to school in WV i am probably not hitting this up.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #21 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:23 »

The cheapest flight to SF I found is with Lufthansa German Airlines for £703.68 and involves a 19 hour stop in Montreal.

I think I'll skip this one.

valley_parade · « **Reply #22 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:27 »

Ryan come hang out with me again!

Metope · « **Reply #23 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:29 »

Come on a boat trip instead!

Re-allocate yr (doubtlessly heroic) alcohol budget to a travel budget

Papersatan · « **Reply #26 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:40 »

As Steve mentioned it is unlikely we will make it, but there is some hope. We don't know where we will be living yet, or when our move will be, or how much money we will have to play with. It might work though if we can get 2 people to road trip it with us. It is still early for any sort of planning though.

KvP · « **Reply #27 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 13:44 »

Actually you know what I have a gay friend with easy access to cheap flights so this may be a bigger possibility than I thought.

Incidentally what are the prospects for room and board?

A little under £2k in four months.

That's a lot of booze, doggo.

Yeah, but they're all in Canada so you wouldn't know them

Elizzybeth · « **Reply #34 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 14:21 »

Damn it, the year you all actually come out to California, you do it during the one year I'm going to Comic Con. During Comic Con.

tania · « **Reply #35 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 14:21 »

oh dang anna i got to admit i was only saying "maybe" earlier just to be polite to these losers about the fact that i most likely won't be attending but gosh, i can't say no to you.

uh yeah well like i said i'll definitely be going to cali at some point this summer regardless of whether or not it's during this thing and right now it is looking like i might find be driving down, whether it's via renting a car or just finding a friend who's got one, because i want to see seattle and portland too. santa cruz is not very far away from san francisco at all! true love will being us together in the end

vegkitkat · « **Reply #36 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 14:25 »

I am strongly leaning towards yes here. I was considering going to VidCon in LA, which is the last week of July. I'm thinking that going to San Fran a week early and hanging out with you bunch would be so awesome.

Liz · « **Reply #37 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 15:21 »

It would be. List is updated, people are added to the facebook group. We need more definitely attending!

vegkitkat · « **Reply #38 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 15:26 »

As it stands now, I can afford to come. I just need to talk to my supervisor to double check that taking a few off in the summer is fine and there's nothing I have to do in terms of transferring into my PhD at that time. There shouldn't be.

jodizzle · « **Reply #39 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 16:11 »

Well obviously I am definitely in, as is Aaron.

Someone who knows stuff should suggest a hotel we can stay at so we will all be in the same vicinity. Or we could do the house thing again, whatevs!

And also people should think about places to eat! If there is anywhere standout that we HAVE to go to (like Kumars & Hot Dougs in Chicago....mmmm Kumars and Hot Dougs).

And someone should find a skate rink....haha (I'm kidding we don't have to go skating. I will be skating all week in Vegas!)

I hope you all can come! There will be 3 Australians! THREE! That is like, half our population or something!

Liz · « **Reply #40 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 16:28 »

(It's Kuma's. But close!)

Barmymoo · « **Reply #41 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 16:42 »

GO SKATING.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #43 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 17:18 »

Put Amanda and I as maybes. We'll totally do it if we have the money, but right now our only source of income is student loans.

Of course, we also want to go to RollerCon because that sounds amazing too so who knows.

Lines · « **Reply #44 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 17:50 »

I will not be attending. It's too far and school has made me very poor. Oh wells.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #45 on:** 29 Jan 2011, 17:54 »

Gonna have to be put down as regretfully sorry. Heading to Chicago in March and I won't have the money for another trip till next year.

A 19 hour stop in Montreal makes this trip almost 300% more appealing.

Catfish_Man · « **Reply #47 on:** 30 Jan 2011, 00:23 »

Already living in SF. Someone ping me when things are happening.

Catfish_Man · « **Reply #48 on:** 30 Jan 2011, 00:40 »

Also if you guys want good food I know where to go. It ain't cheap and it ain't fast though.

<edit>Actually the good Chinese food is relatively cheap, I take that back.</edit>
