So I know there were a few people there from good ol' SoCal and I thought if there were a few I met, then there is definitely more I didn't meet! So what I want to do is host a post-PAX get together/dinner meet-up somewhere in Orange County (Between LA and San Diego) for all of us SoCal PAX goers, or if you couldn't make it then you can still come to hear all the crazy stories!
What I'd like from you guys is if you could send me an email with your details (What city you are coming from, what days would be best for you, and what times). Mine are Anaheim, Weekends, Dinner would be best.
This way I can get a count of who is coming so I know what kind of gathering to plan! I'm thinking we could just do a meet-up in some game store and order a shit ton of pizza for everyone! What do you think?
Send me all details at geograd7@gmail.com
Check back here for more details!
# of Possible Attendees: 11
Possible Location: Brookhurst Hobbies (http://www.brookhursthobbies.com/Page.cfm?ID=2)
Possible Date and Time: October 23rd from 10am till whenever the store closes.
Lunch will be provided (a ton of pizza and 2 liters)

October 12th 2010 UPDATE
Alright, so here is the update!
I've gotten a "should be good let me just confirm with my boss" from the guy at Brookhurst Hobbies. The cool thing is that there is an event going on that same day which is a demo for a D&D game called Gamma World. There is already about 11 people signed up and lots of space left. It runs from 10am until 2pm so anyone who wants to come take part needs to RSVP on their meetup group. That will be the main focus before 2pm then we'll play other board games and card games after that.
So for now consider October 23rd the final date. It'll be at 10am for some of you and 2pm for the rest. You can come any time inbetween but probably will have to watch us play Gamma World.
If you would like to join us for Gamma World please sign up here:

==================================================
Alright, everything has been confirmed. There are a few rules to the store since it is mostly a retail store.
1. Don't be obnoxiously loud. If you want to have a loud conversation with someone take it outside the store. Do not curse or scream.
2. No outside food or drink allowed in the store. I'll order the pizza and we'll have it outside the store then move back in after.
3. Do not disturb customers (obviously).
I'll warn you a few times before asking you to leave the store for a little, when you come back if you don't follow the rules then the store worker will be forced to kick you out of the store. I know none of you want that!

I will be back down in the OC (don't call it that) on the 22nd though, so I'd be interested in doing something. Were you planning something sooner or would that be too late?
I didn't go this year, but still would be fine hanging out with those who did.
Full class schedule, not really sure when would be a good time for me, but whatever is decided on, I would go by hook or by crook.

Definitely interested though - always wanted to see what kind of PAers live in this side of California - and plus, maybe we can start talking about who's interested in sharing lodging fees for PAX East?

It will most likely be on a weekend for sure. So far the Medium is around the 5 and 605, so we'll see if we get more people if it shifts.
I know there are some San Diego people who went to PAX so we'll see if they want to join.
# of Attendees (so far): 6
Middle location: around the 5 and 605
When: Sometime in October on a weekend
count me in. Like Rogue_hunter i'm in the San Fernando Valley
Weekends are good for me (except for the first weekend in October and oct 10th)
{Fondly remembers the PAXTrain}
I'm intrigued depending on where the final location is since I'll be coming from Pomona and I don't feel too hot about traffic on the weekends heading into the OC. HOWEVER, if anyone else from the ass-end of LA County wants to carpool, I can make arrangements.
So here's an update:
# of people interested: 8
When: After October 10th, probably around lunch time running till the evening.
Where: A few possible locations, need to call an confirm
http://www.brookhursthobbies.com/ - They have a room in back we can use
Activities: Pizza, board games, card games, chatting, and just having a jovial time.
As an added note. If you have any board games or card games you'd like to bring please post them up here so we can make a decision on what to play.
It'd be fun to get a few board games going.
Other than that, I also don't mind if anyone wants to host DnD since this PAX was my first time playing it and I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Bring munchkin along. I love a good competitive munchkin game! And BHH is always a fun time, but I'm not an expert on it so you or someone would have to lead a teaching game
Possible Location: Brookhurst Hobbies
Possible Date and Time: October 23rd or 24th, from 11am till whenever the story closes.
Lunch will be provided (a ton of pizza and 2 liters)
Post what kind of pizza you like.
{Fondly remembers the PAXTrain}
My friend can eat chicken/lamb/fish, although he's allergic to pork and beef.
So I guess some chicken or veggie pizza?

180 minutes game time? hhmm we should be able to fit it in, I'd be interested.
As an update I think we are up to 11 possible people now? That's pretty cool
I was thinking it'd be like 5 or 6, if you guys know anyone who didn't go to PAX you can bring them too! Also, if this gets too big I can always rent out the hall of a Knights of Columbus church I know. It can hold up to 150 people and has tables and stuff. I'd just need some money from everyone for the rental.
I doubt it'll get that big though. I think Brookhurst Hobbies is a good spot.
I think this group is big enough - if you fit more than 20 people, it's harder to get to know people.
8-11 people seem like a good enough size to get to know everyone.

I updated the original post. Someone couldn't do it till then, so that's when the best dates were
Most likely it'll be on Oct 23rd, I'll confirm this weekend!

I already have my ticket to to see this at the amc burbank 16.
if we can plan around this that would be great, if not I understand and I hope you all have fun.

It will most likely be Oct 23rd. I'm just confirming with Brookhurst Hobbies. It'll be 11AM till whenever they close so it's a good time span for people to arrive.
