Title: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Temple on March 23, 2012, 05:36:47 PM So in another thread i mentioned US should do a local meetup:
Find a location (park,hotel) Plan a 1 day event and see who will come. Im sure a few would be willing to make a trip to hang out with forums members and the US crew. Summer is coming up and would be an ideal time to do it here in sunny cali. Anyone Game? Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: ZequarX on March 23, 2012, 07:26:57 PM Yea, man, I would love to arrange a meet up with everyone on the forums! I've never been to Cali, unfortunately, but I know the weather is extremely difficult to compete with, cuz here in Texas, its hot as hell! I guess if you wanna sweat more, Texas is a good option :)

Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 23, 2012, 11:17:40 PM Maybe we should set up a meet up for each state?
;D If I were in Cali I would be up for the US meetup 100%. Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Manroon on March 23, 2012, 11:34:36 PM Everyone should move to Cali. We need more wookie, ortolan, .... whatever TJ is, and, well, the rest of you. We just need more saberforum in this state. Oh man, that should be a meme! 'Your state needs more lightsaber.' XD

Post by: ZequarX on March 24, 2012, 12:19:27 AM Shoot, it would be cool if US put on their own lightsaber tournament and we would all meet somewhere over a weekend and the winner would win any saber of their choice and other cool gifts, etc, etc... now that would be AWESOME!
Plus we would all still get to hang out. Make it the annual US "So you think your a Jedi" tournie lol Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: ZequarX on March 24, 2012, 12:20:20 AM Oh and BTW, count me in if this pops off!
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Temple on March 24, 2012, 12:53:33 AM lol well up way to stay on topic :P
Whos all in cali? Would Ultra & Deep be willing to set up a mass mailer Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Darth Cestual on March 24, 2012, 12:55:52 AM But I moved from Cali. :-\ It would be great to hang out and clash sabers with any of you, but I'm pretty much tied up in my neck of the woods. I'll be the crazy old hermit in the forest. ::)
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 24, 2012, 01:04:33 AM I would think a customer appreciation day would be a doable event...at a local spot to Ultra Sabers central...a BBQ day...handful of duels...meet and greet...
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Manroon on March 24, 2012, 01:08:35 AM @Cestual: Hey, I'm with you. If it weren't for friends, Disneyland, and conventions... I'd at least be on the other end of the state by now. Sou Cal can be a bit nasty, especially when you go through like Iowa or some place and meet people who actually apologize for messing up your order at lunch. :o
@Rel: Point for making TJ be Oscar, and man that idea of a customer appreciation day sounds awesome. Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 24, 2012, 01:11:53 AM They could do it here, right down the road from HQ

Yeah, I miss my Cali friends and the convienience of most anything you can want, but I really like being away from the cities and actually having a chance to save money for a change, money that's now being spent on UltraSabers, lol. ;D Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Jammo on March 24, 2012, 03:42:54 AM Jammo will be at Phoenix Comic Con in May if anyone wants to party...
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: ThreadJack on March 24, 2012, 08:04:49 PM Hey, since when am I Oscar?
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 24, 2012, 08:47:01 PM ;D
Between Oscar or Elmo I figured the one was a better fit. :) Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Lucien Kane on March 24, 2012, 10:46:50 PM I'd be down depending on when and where.
Also Manroon you're in Anaheim? I'm down in Oceanside! We need to meet up and cross blades someday! Title: Re: Meetup Idea....

If I'm over that way anytime I'll drop you boys a message. We can have some duels and maybe catch a burrito at Colima's... Lucien, I KNOW you've been there, right? Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Manroon on March 25, 2012, 01:11:36 AM For sure guys! I need more duels in my life, my poor beautiful collection spends too much time unchallenged these days.... though hopefully that will change come summer. :)
Also, if there's ever another Celebration Con in LA.... we should all get Phillipe's. Epic sandwich right there boys. Epic. Sandwich. ;D Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Temple on March 25, 2012, 01:13:48 AM I just emailed Ultra to see if they would be willing to host something along thses lines.
Told them i would be more than willing to work the logistics :) see if they bite Title: Re: Meetup Idea....

If you're coming out this way give me a heads up, I can probably get my friend to put you up at his place... he's not too crazy lol. Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Temple on March 25, 2012, 03:50:11 AM lol define not too crazy
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 25, 2012, 03:57:29 AM lol define not too crazy Doesn't always drag an axe as he shambles around the house... Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Lucien Kane on March 25, 2012, 04:06:08 AM Doesn't always drag an axe as he shambles around the house... Only on days he is having a rough time with building lightsabers... or on days we don't duel. He's worn out after we duel lol Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Manroon on March 25, 2012, 05:50:23 AM Heaven help the world if we ever go beyond a picnic in the park type thing and get a full blown Saberforum Convention.
'The day of the first saberforum convention will be a day long remembered... assuming there are any days AFTER the day of the first saberforum convention...' XD Crazys like us could make or break planet earth. Not to mention, it's people like us who join NASA. lol Hmm. Not to get off topic, but I must ponder. Which has/will be taken into space first by humans? The phaser... or the lightsaber? Title: Re: Meetup Idea....

It was taken to space a couple years ago. Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Master Rel on March 25, 2012, 03:34:12 PM Hmmmm by proxy I would sat Star Trek for the win

Post by: Remy Lost on March 25, 2012, 03:40:35 PM I was kinda hoping for a meetup at either Celebration or Dragoncon. At least for us east coasters anyway...
Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: Jammo on March 25, 2012, 05:14:08 PM lol What Marine hasn't been to Colima's? If you've been to Pendelton and haven't been to Colima's, your fellow Marines have failed you... Title: Re: Meetup Idea.... Post by: ThreadJack on March 25, 2012, 10:04:44 PM What would you wear to a Meet and Greet? Probably just a t-shirt and jeans. |
