Battousai Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm good for either day. I've never been to Baker Beach or SF Japantown so those are cool options. I'll be up in SF this weekend so maybe I'll scout around a bit for other cool options. Yoshi's Japanese restaurant / Jazz Club is a cool place (if it's still open in SF? I heard they might close) so I'd look into that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Whoa, what the heck? WHEN: Friday February 27 @ 11:30am (Option 1) OR Saturday 28th @ 11:30am (Option 2) That is way too soon. This will be a mini meet up at best considering how little time there is for people to get the days off neede to travel here. I will see what I personally can do. I might be able to attend, but I can't make any promises right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustatunez Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 @ Batt: Cool! Lemme know. About the date, honestly the real decision is just Friday vs Saturday. If you need more than a month notice then that's totally cool, how's March 13-14 sound, guys? Let's get a general timeframe down first and then make the Friday vs. Saturday decision.

bustatunez Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Oh, by the way, my roomate also has this thing in the right corner over here: He's got Metal Slug X, 3, and 4, Samurai Showdown, D&D: Shadows Over Mystara, TMNT, and broken-audio-MortalKombat2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arek the Absolute Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Will is actually a lot more north than where you circled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well, if you pick March 27 and/or the 28th to do something, I would think about possibly flying in to San Francisco (assuming someone would pick me up and that I have a place to stay).

zykO Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Will is actually a lot more north than where you circled. yeah, you pretty much circled waleed who could possibly also make it up there for this if it is a plausible weekend for him... also, if bahamut ends up flying in, there are even higher chances of this happening!

The Pezman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That sounds like a totally fucking fantabulous weekend, and like Mr. theXjesse I am quite sadified that I cannot attend. Yes, I make up words when I'm tired. Shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well, if you pick March 27 and/or the 28th to do something, I would think about possibly flying in to San Francisco (assuming someone would pick me up and that I have a place to stay). This sounds a lot more favorable over the two dates will suggested. Think it is possible? The later the better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustatunez Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 March 27th/28th doesn't work for me, Game Developers Conference. April 3/4? Again I didn't expect this much interest so that's why the original date was so early. I'm okay with postponing, only thing is the more people come, the earlier I'll need to register you as visitors. FYI I'm not sure about the group visits policy, if I can't use a group reg then I'd have to register 3 visitors at a time under other peoples' names.

Bahamut Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I might be able to do March 21st too if that's a possible date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capa Langley Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 That's.. definitely a lot more people than I originally thought to be. I didn't know a norcal meetup would end up having people NOT from norcal. As I've told you in IRC, my personal vote would be on a Saturday cause then I can stay (I'm off work Sun-Mon). Then again that tour does sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAuto Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm in. Placerville isn't too far off... plus, putting names to faces, now that's what I call entertainment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Actually, I may even consider attending if it is the April dates. Yeah, I'd fly in from MD cause this knocks out a couple of things on my to-do list: 1) I have a friend who recently moved out to Cali and a) I didn't get to say goodbye and she's new so doesn't know many people, so I'd love to pay her a visit. 2) Hangout more with Busta and whoever else could make it out (I've never been to an outside-of-magfest-ocr-meetup ) Magfest wasn't long enough to get in the full quality-hangout-time...it's NEVER long enough... 3) I've actually never been to Cali before! 4) Lucasarts+ tour?!? Umm, yes...yes... Question for Busta: Can you get rough price details for the activities we'd be doing? I also gotta price a flight potentially.

The Pezman Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 If you made it over the summer maybe I could come. But it doesn't look like many people would want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicole Adams Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I might be able to go. I don't care about the date, but I'd prefer to go on Friday for the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Depending on when the date is (not too soon) Ash and I may be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustatunez Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Can we say April 3rd then? (the Friday) I spoke to our dept. coordinator and she explained that as long as it's on a Friday, I can theoretically register as many as I want at a time. Again I guess not to harp on it but we'll just have to keep in mind that it's a place of business, best behaviour, no photography of any kind or loud speech, respect the mountain of NDA's they'll have you sign, etc. (I had to say it at some point) Otherwise obviously the tour is free, lunch at Lucas can run you maybe $6-9 depending on what you get, some buses are free others are $1.50 and the BART train system varies (up to $5 for a longer trip from an airport I think). Shuttle from Oakland airport to the BART train system is I think $3, SFO airport is actually on thee BART line so you'd just hop on. And I'd bring maybe $20 for dinner depending on where we go, if anyone wants alkeyhall, etc. (I'm not sure if it's against OCR policy to post about this but if anyone has beer recommendations for consumption at my place, feel free) Barbecue (if we do it) I guess is on me but it'd be GREAT if somehow someone who's more local to the SF area could help me buy stuff the morning/night before... I don't have a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
