Is there a place to do karaoke nearby? Specifically the karaoke box type setup so that us shy DLers can make fools of ourselves exclusively infront of each other and no random bar strangers...

Shoe shopping? In Los Angeles? This requires a wild Dhyer call!

Grefter · « **Reply #202 on:** June 28, 2013, 02:27:58 PM »

Bitch please I am going to shoe shop the shit out of you already.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #203 on:** June 28, 2013, 02:38:27 PM »

But that's in San Francisco. Popess shopping requires a separate trip.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No wait...I do have an awesome shoe shopping place. The employees (except for dat one bitch there) go an extreme length to make sure that you get the right show. I would recommend them to anyone.

That's an impressively tacky website. Regardless, as long as there are other shoes besides running shoes at that store, it might be an option.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #206 on:** June 28, 2013, 08:53:00 PM »

I wouldn't mind some pink tennis shoes and maybe some nice (closed-toed) shoes for summer. We'll see. A little low on funds at the moment, but I absolutely need new tennies, mine are broked.

Got a room for Friday - Sunday at the Comfort Inn.

FYI: it's been unseasonably hot here for the past week or two - minimum 80F/26C with 40-60% humidity. It's supposed to stay like this for the entire time those of you who are joining us in NorCal will be here.

Pack, like, linen pants and an extra layer in the increasingly unlikely case that our SF trip hits it when it's magically colder. The rest of the time you're going to be more comfortable dressing for 30C*+.

For the precon in San Francisco area on July 6-10... that's still myself, Grefter, Jo'ou, (Brian?), Djinn on Monday, + area DLers? (Andy / Ashley / Laggy / Gate) I mentioned this before, but I'd recommend at least one day randomly wandering around San Francisco doing tourism there over the weekend (July 6 or July 7), and probably one day screwing around (Andy's house? Someone else's house?) + anything of interest in the Valley. Anyway, does anyone have a preference over which weekend day is which? It can really be either one, but if there's some special event on one of the days, or traffic is notably different, that can sway it. Otherwise, let's arbitrarily pick a day for each. (Or decide to do tourism / playing games two days in a row. Either one works, really.)

Reminder for myself in a place Ashleys and Andrews will see.

I need to pick up a copy of House of Leaves when I am in the US.

I own a copy - want me to bring it? (That said, hipster bookshops in SF should definitely stock a copy anyway.)

Quote from: AndrewRogue on June 10, 2013, 08:44:35 PM

Since I'm pretty sure electronic gaming can be covered by everyone else, let us see what board games I have available. I have two sets: ones I own, ones I can likely (maybe) borrow.

I realize that was intended for the real con, but seems to apply to the precon as well. It's possible that we can be antisocial and sit in the corner playing Twilight Struggle (finally!) over the weekend on the day that's set for "screw around someone's house playing games" and using bad Russian accents. You should also borrow Tichu because it is awesome and fits into any time slot. (Or heck. I'd be fine with purchasing a copy and ensuring we have it.) The Resistance and/or Avalon would work, too.

Grefter · « **Reply #210 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:03:38 AM »

I want to lend it to people over here so unless you want to part ways with it permanently I will need to hit up a book shop.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #211 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:25:57 AM »

Just one thing: ONE DAY in the 6/7 weekend, I'm pretty set to hitting up the Castro district for reasons of: teh gays clubbing. Any companions up for this adventure?

Lady Door · « **Reply #212 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:35:05 AM »

The window on borrowing games for this weekend is closed. We might still be able to get stuff to bring down to DLC, but the person we borrow from is gone until Tuesday now. Sorry!

No TI, Resistance/Avalon or tichu -- although I'm sure we could find a cheap tichu deck around if no one owns one already. We're relatively close to a decently stocked gaming store.

I'm up for weekend SF plans. Aforementioned friend (who is also the mahjong friend, and the brony) is up for coming down to South Bay on Tuesday to go in for some MASS GAMING if anyone's interested. Otherwise, Andy and I are working Friday, Monday, Tuesday and half of Wednesday, so y'all can do whatever you'd like with Laggy & co.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #213 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:42:26 AM »

I'd offer to bring my Call of Cthulhu board, but I'm sure it'd be entirely excessive.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #214 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:54:54 AM »

I'm up for clubbing of course. But I won't be there til Monday. Stupid work

Niu · « **Reply #215 on:** July 02, 2013, 04:29:34 AM »

BTW, for the standard fighting games stuff. I don't have any outside Blazblue and Persona4.
So any body wants to play that well have to bring a copy of their own.

Lady Door · « **Reply #216 on:** July 02, 2013, 06:23:09 PM »

NorCal pre-con peeps:

The current plan is to swing by Berkeley in the afternoon on Saturday. We can do one or two things in SF after that, or we can save the SF trip for Sunday. East Bay has a couple amusements of its own, but nothing too exciting. UC Berkeley's campus. The reptile superstore. The marina. Rolling by Pixar. Hiking the hills. Walking through downtown Berkeley.

SF has lots of stuff, obv, but it depends on what y'all want to do. I recommend a targeted approach because 1) the BART may still be on strike then; 2) parking is a bitch in the city, and once we find a spot we're likely staying there.

Thoughts?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #217 on:** July 02, 2013, 06:27:47 PM »

CHEESECAKE. FACTORY.

SnowFire · « **Reply #218 on:** July 02, 2013, 07:08:55 PM »

If BART is still on strike this weekend, my enthusiasm for doing much of anything at all in San Fran is greatly diminished. Berkeley sounds like a solid substitute. (Although sure, drive to one single location and chill there and have dinner or the like is still fine.)

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #219 on:** July 02, 2013, 07:45:52 PM »

Awkward week for the BART strike.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #220 on:** July 02, 2013, 08:47:10 PM »

We could hijack one of the buses and get ourselves arrested en masse.

Laggy · « **Reply #221 on:** July 02, 2013, 09:18:50 PM »

Cheesecake Factory is so overrated, Snow. We have better places to feed you here. (That said if you want to go clubbing in SF I suppose a visit to the Macy's in Union Square is probably mandatory anyway.)

Grefter · « **Reply #222 on:** July 02, 2013, 09:46:18 PM »

Allan Edmonds. Grefter needs a new pair of shoes.

VySaika · « **Reply #223 on:** July 03, 2013, 01:09:08 AM »

I may or may not be able to do pre-con stuff, depending on when/where? Transportation is kinda an issue for me and all. But if folks have any specific plans, feel free to toss me a poke in chat or just call and I'll see if I can make it?

I just want the cheesecakes. I don't care about anything else in the Factory. And OF COURSE clothes+shoes shopping is mandatory.
