How early do you think I should book? At this point we're pushing mid thirties to forty people including all the guests. If I'm going to book this early then maybe we should switch it to Moo Dae Po II.

Yeah at this point you should probably change the plan to the new place since they will be able to accommodate us.

I think at this point nobody would blame you if you stopped doing the graffiti thing and switched to just a list since it seems troublesome for you as well.

I just called Moo Dae Po II and made a preliminary reservation for 40 people. Sounds like they can take even larger groups. But they only take reservations up to 6pm. So we have that for now if we want it. I'm going to count up the running total and see where we actually stand:

Everyone who's going so far: (* = name is up on the OT banner in graffiti; C = willing to drive a carpool)

Fidelis Hoodie*
doitlive* C (South Bay/Hermosa/Redondo/Gardena/Torrance)
Iceman* C (Pasadena/Eagle Rock)
Nintendoll* + 1
Clydefrog* C (Costa Mesa/OC)

That's 34 so far if the maybe's join. Looking good for Moo Dae Po II right now.. but is 6pm okay for everyone, especially those going out of their way?

I'm a definite, Iceman. 6 P.M. is also fine.

40? This is becoming a party of epic proportions.

I may have a way to Los Angeles Proper, at least North Hollywood. I can either take the train in or bribe someone to drive me in.

Yeah, guys, lets make this extremely uncomfortable for the GAME GURLS before they even get to the eatery.

(I'm all for that)

They were probably all told this is some kind of 'sports club' meet-up with +1's. As soon as they see a couple of guys in Pokemon + My Little Pony shirts with hipster glasses, they're going to know they were tricked.

Yeah, I think this might exceed the LA GAF party back in 2010.

Every time the east coast attempts to organize a meetup, I watch with amusement as it fails miserably.

I should bring a girl to this and not tell her anything about the group, then watch her reaction as the memes, inside jokes and game discussions begin.

:| Aw. Yeah. We should all do this.

Wait til I say something about how much the Wii sucks and the Nintendo fanboys bring out their baseball bats (with Zelda stickers) and ream me a new one. It'll be like being a Giants fan talking shit on the Dodgers.

You're assuming everyone's crippling social anxiety doesn't keep them from showing up.
Click to expand...

Lol. I AM assuming too much, aren't I?

As for the graffiti names.. now I'm even MORE determined to get them done. I already have a spot picked out for Puddles.

I'll rejigger the OT to reflect the change in venue and time and add a carpooling section.

I like the name tag idea. I was actually thinking of getting hats or tees for everyone but man that's going to get expensive.

And is this really the birthday champagne spraying place? It's like eating in a barn lol! But the food is really good -- the birthday music might drive me nuts. The 6 o'clock start should save us from the worst of it.

Body pillow carriers, MLP doll holders, boob mouse pad enthusiasts and Pokemon hat wearers will be relegated to the kids' table.

It's getting pretty big, huh? Bluemax has a good point, though. How many will hover in the parking lot, fearful for their anonymity being stripped from them? RP gaf has prepared me for this moment...!
You know I don't give a damn.
Wish you were coming. :(

RP-gaf doesn't need name tags. I think we should have stories prepared to introduce ourselves though. If we do go with name tags, it should have our GAF tags.

Classy! It's going to be 40+ at this rate. Maybe we can fill the whole restaurant?

RP will make us know who's who, but for those that didn't participate yeah we do need some sort of name tags cause there's no way in hell I'm gonna remember everyones name after the first meeting. Maybe someone can pick up a "hi my name is *real name*" tags from staples or something...

or better yet do a printout of names and put "Hi my name is *real name* but my REAL name is *gaf name*"

I remember back in the day my clanmates in counterstrike used to call out each other using our screennames irl...it felt too much like gang nicknames lol.

I've had one or two internet based meet ups in the past and whenever this happens it always feels really, really strange.

That depends on if thats you in your avatar ;)
jk

If so, half of the guys will probably be silent and sit as far away as possible from you.

Oh and if you're one city west of Arcadia, I might be able to pick you up. I'm in Glendale.

Well. I was going to wear my Tanooki Mario shirt to the shindig.

Now I'm thinking of going with the horribly offensive 'Womb Service'.

Haha. I think most will contain their anxiety by drinking a lot VERY quickly. It could get messy right off the bat. ;)

I really do think we need to wear the name tags. Not just to identify us from other soon-to-be-scared patrons, but because 1) it's funny, and 2) think how hard it'll be actually remembering everyone's real names on top of their user names. Better for memory's sake this way, especially if we're going to be drinking.

And, I checked the pics of it online. I don't think it's the same place after all. Similar names, but this one seems to be indoors at least, and it looks much nicer. Think we're safe from the champagne thing.

You have a point about RP Gaf. :) I really don't want to be identified by my tag, though (I'm localization, dammit!). Haha. And, good bet on the leaving the booby pads out of this.

P.S. Got the rope, duct tape, day-glo sticks and ferrets ready!

I've been to like four GAF meetups; maybe more than any other GAFfer.

It's up to me to break the awkward social tensions!

Believe in me, GAF!
