Not gonna lie... When I worked security at a country club in the foothills, I was closing up the on course bathroom when something flaps by my head inside. And keeps flapping around for a bit. Thinking it's a bird I try and get it outside.
Then it lands.
ON the wall.
Not a beam or truss, but the wall. With its wings.
I calming back out, hit the lights and lock the door.

Gotta a love a state where you can Ski in the morning and Surf in the evening of the same day. (Granted that's pushing it, so you really need a weekend. But not like a 3 day weekend.)
I've done that in one day. My friends back in college called it the Triple Threat. Longboard/Skateboard to the beach, Surf in the morning, finish the day in the mountains nightboarding. It's as awesome as it sounds, but man was I tired. Best I can do these days is maybe two of those. I heard you could do this in Hawaii as well, but just not as easily.
Yes and no.
I've had friends tie a couch to the back of their truck and we all took turns sitting on the couch while the others drove around the block.
If it relates to a couch at the beach, no.

Hahaha, I suppose that counts, but I was talking about the backpackers group. Basically wherever you travel, you have a couch to crash on if you're a member of this group. The group is having a meet up in downtown this weekend.

That sounds like a huge couch.

I suppose I should put my availability/interest level out there. I generally work weekend afternoons/evenings/nights, so that cuts down on when I can do anything. My weeks are generally pretty free. I'm cool with meetups and the usual group gathering activities (movies, meals, drinks, plotting assassinations, puppy pageants). I've never done any group gaming so I don't know how I'd do in those kind of gatherings. Umm. That about covers it for now.

Welp, secret's out...I'm not a backpacker.
Edit: But I do love hiking; in fact, it was my job at one time!
I'd be down for the cabin idea, but if anybody wanted to stick a pushpin into a park or game shop for a single-day hang-out, if it's close enough (for multiple people, obviously), I'd be up for making something of a half-hour trip for that. Maybe a PA lunch meet-up?
The tricky part, though, is knowing who wants to go, where those people live, and how best to accommodate everybody's travel-distance.
Being unemployed, I can say that I've got next-to-nothing holding me back from traveling out to hang out with people except for the occasional interview that I'm lining up each week (yet still somehow not getting hired).
Plus, I love visiting new places to eat. Some of the best places I've had meals have been hole-in-the-wall restaurants that aren't part of a chain.
Antelope valley here (la county but 50 miles from LA). I'd be up for social meetups. Big bear sounds fun, but how do I know nobody will kill me or douse me in garlic while I sleep?

These are very specific concerns. Either that or you're clairvoyant and know of my..."garlic parties".

If you want to come out to orange county, I think we could probably get four of us in one place together. That may cause some sort of temporal rift, but I think it may be worth it.

Which is why I want to get some smaller get-togethers for lunch or something going.
But if people want to douse me in garlic, please promise me that you'll also baste me on the rotisserie with some Frank's Red Hot...love that shit.
Edit: Also, it better be organic. California is pretty much top of the list for states that people demand everything be organic. Everything except Frank's Red Hot...I just had some on a corn tortilla, and damn that was a good tortilla.

Something this weekend? I usually go out to eat with my parents on Friday night and I have an interview lined up for Monday, but other than that, my schedule is blank.
If you're still gathering names, I'm in northern Orange County. I can't vouch for my availability all the time, but hearing about this sort of thing makes me happy.

I am, and you're added. We need to unify the Orange Countians before the Sacrementites rally.
I didn't believe it but there actually is a county called YOLO? Is the primary export swag?
Considering the 3 major towns that I know of are West Sacramento, Davis and Woodland...
Kinda... Woodland is dying, Davis is a college town and West Sacramento is on the wrong side of the river.
Haha. This old man had the reverse confusion at first when it seemed like suddenly every other kid on the internet was repping his area. And I'm in Davis specifically, pretty sure our primary exports are geeky scientists who seem to pop up in the NPR On Science podcast every other week or so and the occasional oddball stories like The Toad Tunnel for folks like Colbert to make fun of.
Davis is a lovely little college town - I always like when I end up there walking around downtown in the spring/summer.
As far as I'm concerned, you export a lot of attractive women. Most of the time I find myself down there is when I'm meeting people for dates :P
But yeah, totally spoiled on the pretty people front here.
And it does look like Sacramento's the good middle ground for the folks around here even though no one's popped up in the city itself yet. I'm a stereotypical Davisite in the bike everywhere sense but Yolobus'll get me as far as downtown Sac if we get something set up out there.
I'm aware of one, maybe two people who are pretty close to Sacramento proper, but not within city limits. Won't post names because it's not my place to call 'em out, even if they've posted themselves before.
I'm Sacramento County, but still about a half hour from downtown. Tend to be super busy, though, so it'd be up in the air as to whether or not I can make anything.
Well, I'm currently unemployed which means massive free time but no money.
So I can play taxi provided someone pays and doesn't mind a car that's about to fall apart.
I don't mind a little bit of driving so long as it's not a weekly thing...then gas starts to get expensive.
But a first-time meet-up is within my current funds.
I'm down to meet some PA people. But free time is going to be hard to come by for the near future. If something does get planned though, I'll join if I can.
If the best you can come up with against someone who's patently ignorant is to yell back at him, "Yeah? Well there's BOOKS, and they say you're WRONG!"
Then honestly you're not coming out of this looking great either.

Would it be helpful to post events in each region and see if people would be interested meeting up for them? I've turned into an event coordinator of sorts for my friends up north and down here, so my feed is constantly filled with random adventures. Art openings, artwalks, cool live shows, etc.
I live in LA. But, like all LA people, I demand that you Orange County people come to me to hang out. I try not to go "down there" too often. It makes me feel unclean.

I think it would. I'm not plugged into too much stuff west of Roseville though (ie Sacramento proper), but I got an ear on the ground for various major cons and such.

I can get in the giant orange balloon and see the huge brown smudge on the horizon over in LA's direction, and yet you feel unclean when you leave it.
But, yeah, LA has better things "to do" unless there's a specific event planned.

Hey! OC rat burgers ain't half bad! Plus, come on...do you really expect the rest of us to adhere to your silly 3 shells in the restroom?
Nahh, not South Lake Tahoe, much closer to Sacramento. (unless this was a reference I didn't get, which is quite possible)
