Title: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Lits on August 17, 2009, 03:01:23 am

I would like to offer up my house as a place for the FA Get-Together of Summer 2010.

I have one spare bedroom that can be split between minimum of two people, max four. I have a gerat internet situation, wireless is hella fast now plus direct connect.  I can't put up as many people, but there a plenty of cheapish motels, hotels, and great hostels a few blocks from me, and I am willing to play Taxi to those who need it.


Also I am two block from Venice Beach. Full of crazy artists and half naked rollerskater chicks, as well as the greatest waves for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, and near-drowning (I can supply all necessary implement for this)

For those who came this year, you know what a great bonding experience it was.... we'd never met and yet within the hour it was like we were family.

Lets make it happen again as soon as possible, and I offer my home as a homebase for us for 2010.

Thoughts?

Vegas? You'd never see me! You would have to drag me from the 1/2 cash tables!

Also, if anyone of you guys pass through or are near Phoenix, AZ I have a big house with extra rooms with your name on it.  I'd gladly put anyone up.

I have family is Casa Grande so may take you up on that...

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010

Sweet!  That'd be pretty cool.  I'm only an hour away from Casa Grande.

I'm being considered for a job for Boeing in LA, so might be able to call it a business trip!
Unfortunatley, they'd have to offer me a shit ton to move to the craphole of California.

Hey now, I have fond memories of growing up in SoCal :-/ Believe me when I say that Sacramento and Lemoore are the respective armpit and asshole of California.

I'm not saying it was always a craphole, but in it's current state isn't too attractive. I keep an open mind though.

Oh I am so game, and I'm looking for excuses to go visit my relatives in Cali next summer (Just in time for the San Diego Comicon)

I don't know if having a 16 yr. old attending would handicap you guys, but I'd love to show up if I wasn't in the way.

As long as your parents dont need to meet one of us, I think it'd be fine. =) We didn't barhop in DC either but still had a blast.

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Heironymus on March 15, 2010, 03:54:49 pm

Ok guys and girls.. I have gotten my taxes back.. I have set aside some for this trip.. should we start hammering out dates and such? I think so.. I am mad I missed get together 2009.. im not missing this one!!!!


Also,, if we wanted to do this around comic-con weekend we need to get those tickets NOW because the only ones not sold out are Thursday and Sunday.. =(

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Lits on March 18, 2010, 11:01:24 pm

I say we do it... what are the dates for Comic-Con/where's the website? Any idea on ticket prices?

Although I don't think it would be worth it if it's just the two of us... Manic, you're in, yeah?

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Manic Velocity on March 19, 2010, 12:22:43 am

I'm in for the meetup. However, I can't afford comicon tickets for me as well as my girls. This trip is supposed to be rather low budget.

The girls just want to hang out on the beach, and I just want to hang out with you guys. :)

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: likwidtek on March 19, 2010, 03:32:36 pm

So when and where?  Who's all coming?

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Lits on March 19, 2010, 06:32:52 pm

Well looks like those two, plus Manic's ladies in LA. My house is kinda small, so we may have to splurge for a hotel. If we time it right so that my roomate goes back to France we can have that spare room for Manic and co, and then I've got a couch, of course. Looks like it's going to shape up to a weekend hanging out with FA people on the Venice beach, maybe do some touristy things in Hollywood, Heiro wants to go to Comic-Con, so perhaps that, although I don't know much about it.

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010

Really wish T was coming so he could handle all the details, lol!

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Tbone on March 19, 2010, 08:18:43 pm

At this rate T will need to be "sponsored"...lol. Both of my jobs right now are theatre jobs, and apparently two jobs where you don't make much money don't quite add up to one job where you make a lot of money.

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Heironymus on March 19, 2010, 11:08:53 pm

Comic-Con is July 22-25.. the only tickets left are for sunday the 25 and they are 20 bucks for adults a piece.

Tickets for me in Atlanta to LA runs about 340 at the end of July.. it goes down considerably (70 bucks) second week in August.. Either way timeframe is really up to the host, imo..
Plus there is a lot to do in LA besides it being relatively close to Vegas, right Lits?

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Lits on March 20, 2010, 09:21:33 pm

actually the time frame is completely up to you guys, with the exception of the last week of August-first week of September... I'll be in the middle of the Nevada desert, God willing. My roomate moves out mid July, however, if you wanna take that into consideration. Just because she's French doesn't mean she's cute, but it DOES mean she's a huge pain in the ass.

And yes, LA is roughly 4 hours drive time from Vegas, plus there is Universal Studios Hollywood, Hollywood Blvd, the Sunset Strip, Malibu, Disneyland and plenty of beaches and hiking in the mountains. I live two blocks from Venice Beach, so that would obviously be the cheapest attraction. I heard the other day that even Compton is getting in on the tourist industry with "gang tours" I kid you not. Let's please try to avoid interest in THAT one.

Oh yeah, forgot: we're walking/biking distance to the Santa Monica Pier. Gorgeous at Sunset.

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Manic Velocity on March 21, 2010, 04:52:00 pm

July 23rd-25th or July 30th-August 1st works for me.

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Lits on March 23, 2010, 01:29:43 am

sounds good to Litsy... any objections to July 23-25th or July 30-August 1?

and preferences? Heiro you're coming the farthest, why don't you pick the weekend of the two?

Title: Re: FA Get-Together 2010
Post by: Heironymus on March 23, 2010, 11:44:04 pm

im going to see which one is easier to take off for.. should know by end of day tomorrow.. :)

Wish I could be there, but that's the girl's birthday weekend and she'd probably kill me if I bailed on her.
Prayers and peace to you Ragnarok, that's no simple thing to handle.
