Polycount Meetup-San Diego

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Hey there PC,

I'm looking into starting a meetup for us SD guys and gals, with the potential to turn it into a monthly meetup.

I was thinking a sort of midday meetup on a saturday at a coffee shop, a very layed back, casual chit chat thing to relieve the stress of the work week with a group of like minded people.

As stated in the Trion layoffs thread (You all affected are more than welcome to join) depending on the numbers interested, I'd be more than happy to supply the attendees with a cup o' joe.

Location & Time:
2750 Dewey Rd #193 San Diego, CA 92106
2pm to 4pm officially, but I'm not stating a serious end time for those who want to hang out longer.
Contact:
Payton Quinn
Paytonq@yahoo.com
505-688-7548

who's interested? and where are you located? What days are you usually available for something like this?

I'm in:
Payton Quinn-Escondido (available all week, only able to purchase group coffee on saturdays) [no vehicle, but mobile.]
Dustin Brown-North Park-Available on weekends (mobile?)
Shawn Stone-Downtown (mobile?)
Bobby Mccoin-Downtown (mobile)
Javier Perez-Chula Vista (mobile)
Anthony Garcellano-Carlsbad (mobile?)
Erick Beckmann-Downtown?

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Awesome, what days are you free(est)?

ErichWK · Aug 2013

I'm pretty much in! Escondido is suuuper far. But I can deal. I wish you had a car! Convoy-area has some great japanese cafe type places open late to drink boba and shoot the shit.

Shawn Stone · Aug 2013

Im in, but closest to Downtown SD

Bobbeh · Aug 2013

I'm down.

I live downtown, but I'm mobile so I can do whatever. I'll just make Erich or Shawn give me a ride anyway.

MeshModeler · Aug 2013

Chula vista, willing to drive where ever. IM IN

agarcellano · Aug 2013

A PC meetup in SD would be awesome. I'm in Carlsbad, but I'm open to meet wherever.

Vathrik · Aug 2013

Sounds cool, I'd be interested in joining the crew if it works out.
I'm in Rancho Penasquitos and weekends would be best here also.

Vathrik · Aug 2013

I'd be down to join you guys. In PQ here but can join you wherever you choose to meet. Weekends would be best.

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

No coffee for you sir, you live close to badass coffee, I cannot top that.

Im currently looking at places in north park, by balboa considering the concentration of you downtowners.

This will be on saturdays, and im looking at doing it once a month.

reverendK · Aug 2013

I'll try to make the drive down from pine valley on a saturday...provided I have somebody to watch my kids

else I can come in from mission valley during the week..which is easier.

ScoobyDoofus · Aug 2013

I'm over in Mission Valley, near the stadium. I should be available on some upcoming weekend.

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

I'm thinking saturday the 31'st, give everyone a nice relaxed end to the work week and the month.

Who all is free on that date?

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

OP updated with my contact info, please either post here, pm, email, or call me so I can get a roster written up for availability on that date. That way I can get a minute expectation of the coffee budget.

Cheers,
Payton

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Updated OP with a flexible time for this. I'm also sending out PM's to those who posted here to try and get a solid headcount. I have two rsvps so far, looking for at least six to make this a solid get together.

MeshModeler · Aug 2013

so is the 31st set in stone?

damn now i gotta choose between the san diego meet up and santa monica ._.

bounchfx · Aug 2013

yeah really, both are at similar dates and both are during pax ;(

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

The 31'st is open to debate really, So far I only have two people who have confirmed that they can come. I am completely alright with changing the date, especially given the drives that some of us will have to do to get to the downtown meetup, not to mention I have to take a bus and do some walking from escondido to Downtown. If there's a large concentration of members attempting to decide between Sd and Sm, I may as well change the date so we can get a larger concentration/better conversation.

Feel free to pop a date that works for you and I can work around that.

MeshModeler · Aug 2013

i second the lunch and beer! how about slaters 50/50?

https://slaters5050.com/locations/san-diego/

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Have no fear, you don't sound pretentious, starbucks is not my locale of choice, I don't particularly care where it happens, so long as it does. is Slaters 21+?

agarcellano · Aug 2013

31st sounds good. Slaters 50/50 would be awesome. I don't think it's strictly 21+.

MeshModeler · Aug 2013

nope slaters in not 21+, they have a section in the back for big parties which would be perfect imo

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Alright, called Slaters to confirm I can actually go. Thats all good. The Santa Monica meetup has changed date to Friday the 29th. I need to talk to some people regarding some details and may or may not change the date.

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

Im going to agree with the 7th, we've got some fellas from Psyonix who plan on going but the 31st isn't viable.

With that said, the 7th @slaters?

reverendK · Aug 2013

day after a pay-day? i'm all in.

MeshModeler · Aug 2013

the 7th slaters baby!!

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

6pm may be a bit late for me, due to bus schedules. I'll look it up and confirm.

ErichWK · Aug 2013

Is it on?? It's happening.gif

ErichWK · Aug 2013

I just realized I don't know what any of you dudes look like. -_-

TheWildHunt · Aug 2013

I'll be the scrawniest fella there

kobyupedley · Sep 2013

This is such a great idea! I hope we can have more of this in the coming days!

ScoobyDoofus · Sep 2013

I just wanna throw it out there that I've gotta move again (Landlord sold the condo I'm subletting) so if any SD Polycounter needs a roommate...Get in touch. I need to find a new place by the 14th!

BlvdNights · Sep 2013

Might hop down to SD that weekend for a separate event. If I get time I'll try to hang out for a bit.

bounchfx · Sep 2013

6 is people! plus I'll most likely make it and Remi sounded like he could as well. There's also potentially those that may not use the FB thing.. but we're looking at 7, maybe 8. I don't see that as any reason to call it off haha, but more would be neat.

ScoobyDoofus · Sep 2013

Yeah, I dont really know how many PC'ers are here in the area. I may have just convinced my coworker to come as well tho, so you'll probably get 2 molten character guys.

TheWildHunt · Sep 2013

Ill be there for certain, we may have more than expected in uncomfirmed co,ers.

keosar · Sep 2013

I'll try to stop by if I can!, busy day tomorrow :P

TheWildHunt · Sep 2013

I'll be wearing a PC green tshirt if anyone has trouble locating where were sitting.

jasong · Sep 2013

I'm down for this. Dustin, you might remember me from Sony when we were working on that E3 project.

TheWildHunt · Sep 2013

6pm fellas. We already have one member who arrived early, im going to be there around 3:45 to make sure noone thinks it isnt happening. Green tshirt and a super ratty black hoody. My number is on the front page if you need to contact me.

Ill be here, at the bottom of the ramp. Im turning my internet off due to low battery, so call or text if your lost.

-Payton
i lied, im back. Table is under my name, so ask for payton. I reserved 8 chairs, and im outside in a green T with a ghetto "polycount" sign around my neck

TheWildHunt · Sep 2013

We've arrived. Anyone who is coming, ask the waitress for Payton's party, were in the back room.

adam · Sep 2013

Nice shirt, Ryan!

TheWildHunt · Sep 2013

Hey!

Thank you all for showing, I had a great time and I profoundly second the notion to do this again.
