    Maido is a stationery store. Kinokuniya is a bookstore. sleep(1).gif

    Quick heads up: Stores tend to carry more of what they specialize in.

    Oh, and come on. Who was the person that cleared the M&M stock at MoMo House? Please, I know you're out there. smile.gif

    that was a long time ago...
    Kinokuniya has better pens... just rather expensive... but then again, Maido is expensive too

    Sorry, I can't travel through time.

    no nate... feb. 14th, 2009

  14. nateiskewl

    That's the week of winter break for you?

    yes.

    isn't it more called president's week sleep(1).gif or February break

  17. perrako
    Date: Mon, Feb 9 2009 06:08:22

    I would love to come to the next meetup. The 14th itself is not so good... Valentine's Day and all. The day after or whatever would be good though. San Jose is doable too, it's like an hour by bus.

  18. Fall
    Date: Mon, Feb 9 2009 23:37:47

    how about the 21st?

  19. Archermitch
    Date: Tue, Feb 10 2009 05:54:01

    I vote for Santana row, Great Mall, or mitsu/kino.
    I can't do the 21st. In fact that is the only day I can't do it. Any other day will do, though

  20. perrako
    Date: Tue, Feb 10 2009 19:05:32

    Is the 22nd or the 15th workable?

  21. Archermitch
    Date: Tue, Feb 10 2009 22:41:28

    Sure I'm fine with both those dates. Where?
    We should get a confirmed guest list going after some more details are settled.

    I personally haven't gone far out of my way for PS yet so I don't know what would be a good spot. I just need to be able to take public trans there.

    Any veterans got suggestions?

  23. Archermitch
    Date: Wed, Feb 11 2009 14:29:52

    oh dang. Public trans in California is so hard to use. The best place would be Great mall, I think. You should google map each place and then click the "public transit" button to find how close each one is for you. I doubt there's a bus going to kino/mitsu, but there is a bus that goes pretty near Santana Row.

  24. nateiskewl
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 00:40:23

    Great mall is really bad, there's NOTHING there, and it's always super crowded.

  25. Fall
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 01:46:49

    I agree... 20th anyone? I'm not available on other days...

  26. perrako
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 01:48:40

    I think i can get to mitsu or kino. I think.

  27. nateiskewl
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 02:07:46

    Make sure that the date is a while in advance so we can announce it to the public.

  28. Fall
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 02:13:27

    Date: Feb. 20th
    Time: iono... 3-5?

  29. Archermitch
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 03:31:22

    I second that. Friday Feb. 20th at Mitsuwa/Kinokuniya. Everyone cool with that?

    Edit: 3-5 pm works for me.

  30. nateiskewl
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 04:37:05

    I don't think two hours will be enough IF there are going to be more than five people coming. At our first gathering, we had eight people and it was from 11:30 to 5:30. And you will want to eat lunch together, it just turns our better that way.

    Basically how it works is we hang around outside for around 45 mins, wait for people to come, go eat, spin, shop, film, go home.

    Maybe you want to do it differently, but that's just my two cents.

  31. Archermitch
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 04:41:22

    I think that would be perfect, BUT it's a Friday, meaning some of us have school. cry.gif So we wouldn't be able to meet that early in the day.

  32. nateiskewl
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 05:27:23

    Oh yeah, weekdays are out of the question for me as well.

    no, that's this weekend. lol. I have a 4 day weekend. So basically we're narrowing it down to Sundays or President's day.

    we have a week break next week o.0

  36. Fall
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 05:52:27

    Oh no... I can't do the 20th... I can't do anytime next week for that matter... um... I don't know... you guys make up your mind

    I meant we as in my school. I'm sure you and possibly the other spinners have breaks.

    Well, I'm fairly sure I can do anything, it's all up to you people and whether you're willing to wait up for Fall. I am, though.

  38. perrako
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 07:01:29

    I'm in no rush. Any day is pretty much the same for me. MWF 10-3, TTh 10-5, weekends nada.

  39. Archermitch
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 14:57:07

    ohmy.gif no weekends? That's rough for me. I can probably only do weekends, but if it's at Kino/Mitsu and after 2:30, then I can come.

  40. nateiskewl
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 15:26:02

    If it's not on a weekend then I can't come. I'm not going to come home from school just to get into an hour and a half car ride.

  41. perrako
    Date: Thu, Feb 12 2009 17:07:15

    My bad -- I meant on weekends I have nada. Weekends are totally good.

    I'm sort of on nateiskewl's side on this one. Although, I guess I could go out of my way a little for a weekday meeting.

    And if you can't make this meeting, that's fine. It's one of many.

    Edit: oh nvm. Weekends are fine for Perrako. lol. biggrin.gif yay.

  43. Archermitch
    Date: Sat, Feb 14 2009 04:52:29

    So are we planning on next weekend then? Sunday, Feb. the 23rd at 11:35 - 4 at Santana Row would do.

  44. perrako
    Date: Sun, Feb 15 2009 01:30:04

    Sounds perfect to me.

  45. Archermitch

    me, too. lol biggrin.gif

  46. perrako
    Date: Mon, Feb 16 2009 11:44:46

    So like the 23rd is monday. You meant the 22nd?

    I hope we get to spin at least a little while -- I need a LOT of help with combos. I'm spending like 3 weeks on what is probably gonna be about 6 seconds max.

    oh oops. Definitely meant the 22nd. We should get a list of people who are coming going.
    I know what you mean. Comboing at first takes forever to learn some of the simplest things. I working through these 3 vids right now. 1, 2, and 3. I just work on them one at a time. So far the fingerless indexaround blows my mind and I don't understand how it works. I really hope to get some help from you guys. I think we're going to be spinning buddies for sure Perrako.

  51. Archermitch

  54. Archermitch
    Date: Fri, Feb 20 2009 14:25:42

    I was going to propose postponing it a week or so because theres just going to be me and two other people, but now that I think about it I guess we could still do it. I'm pretty bad at penspinning and I just want some help on a few things.
