No Levon the meet will never change. That was a 1 time thing because John is moving. I'm almost positve we stated that as well, I know I did, we don't change the meet just for the hell of it.
This meet has NEVER been unorganized, I'll give you the last meet.
Givin less people haven't been showng up lately but it has nthing to do with the organzation of the meet. It has been due to laker games, work, finals and school.
And to answer your question Levon, simply no, the meet is at sport chalet. Wanna watch the playoffs don't come, simple.
If we want to change location from here on out we will discss it the meet prior and the weeks before so there is no confusion.

Sure not as many people haven't been showing up but we've had 20+ guys still show up and it's been a good turn out.
But I see talk about going bowling again so I was wondering if that's what will happen again, if the same guys that went last time will be doing the bowling thing, so that others can join. If that's the case, cool. But if you guys are still going to meet up Sports Chalet, that's cool too.
Just need to determine what exactly is going on because as you are aware, nobody went to Sport Chalet. IIRC, Henry himself said it would be a waste or not worth going there since people are planning to go bowling.
My whole point is that it's not fair to newcomers or people that don't frequent the boards.
I personally look forward to these meets and hanging out with everyone.
I really don't think this needs to get dragged on any further. I have spoken my mind and I did not come here to quarrel. I just wanted clarification, again, I'll repeat myself. People talked about going bowling again and I wanted to verify if that is what is going to happen for the following meet. That's the answer I'm looking for as I'm sure it will be beneficial to everyone. That's the purpose of the question, so that others are informed. I visit the forums often, check the posts so I know what's going on, but some people are not quite into it as myself, or yourself, or other PW's.
^ no shiet, why not you live right there LOL. I kick it with Gz everyday, just had lunch with 5-6 Gz today lol. Everyday is a meet for me almost lol. You guys are tripping balllz
Snap outa it Guys!!!

The "Regular" meet will always be held on the 2nd & 4th of the month.
If anyone else wants to make any unofficial meet, as long as its not really tied in to this meet, they are free to do so. I.E. Some of us might be bowling at the same bowling place we went to on the 7th.
I don't think we should make anything official as to what place we should make our meet for the 14th, because if a Laker game is on, I can assure you almost no one will go unless we make it at a place where we can watch the game.

Last time the "regular" meet was not held. Not sure if that's what going to happen again cos of play-offs or what.
I just think it needs to be settled at least several days in advance what will happen. I got a call from 3 people asking if I was at the meet for the regular location. Not everyone checks this thread to find out and I'm sure some people may have showed up and just left.

woh heated discussion up in here I hope we can solve this so we can keep the 818 meet going strong. I nominate someone who goes to the meets 99% of the time to be the coordinator of the meet. I'm not saying the host SHOULD go to every meet but the other way around. Someone who ALREADY goes to every meet, to stand up and take charge. That way if a group wants to do something separate (which they are 100% free to do so) can do so without having to worry about misleading others about when the meet will be held. This way the person in charge will give the definite answer
I completely agree about it being changed in the first post and the thread title etc ... that makes it easier for everyone to see what is going on.
But on the contrary, how is, for example, going to the bowling alley NOT a meet? Let's take some of our previous meets as an example. We kick it in a parking lot for a bit, then head into Hooter's for several hours to "hang out" and grub, and then come back and go somewhere else. Or, we kick it in a parking lot, then all head to In-N-Out and hang inside/outside, chillin' and eating. Ok hopefully that stuck with you...
Now take last meet, at the bowling alley. HAD people decided to show up, we all could have kicked it inside, watching the game together, bowling together, eating together, TALKING together, and afterwards kick it outside by the cars. I don't see how that is ANY different? In fact it's the same thing that we always do, but more fun.
Look I don't know about you guys, but when it comes to the meets, who wants to sit around for 4 hours saying, "oh my exhaust is cool", "no MINE is" blah blah blah. It's fun chatting about cars for a bit, but I prefer actually hanging with you guys, eating and having a good time just kickin' it. Our cars are there, we can ALL go see them whenever we want and get our jollies off by talking about them. I'm sorry but I thought these meets were about community and friendship. Going bowling, watching sports games and eating together is everything "friends" would do with one another. So I'm sorry if you guys got butt hurt that it wasn't at the same spot. The only thing I'll agree with you guys upon is that it wasn't updated in the thread title or the first post. But it was talked about plenty of days ahead, so you can't win that battle (it was actually spoken about a week in advance, just finalized a couple days before hand). Next time I'm sure it will be better organized to your standards.
EDIT:
you took the word battle out of context, didn't mean it that way

I would like to add, that a reason some got heated was because at first, ok I thought or we thought it was Henrys meet or Shane's meet. But since Henry posted we assumed he ran the meet, so I put myself in his position and Assumed that if he had a meet going and he set it up, and one of the participants ended up posting a plan on top of my own meet I'd get pissed, especially without my consent, so try we suggesting ideas to side that hey there's still a meet going on. Little did I know they probably planned it together (this is where the announcement in the 1st page should've been done), so when Henry would say than -if they dont want go then dont go or if they want to make a meet on their own than do it and he'll meet the others at bowling instead-, few get disappointed and assumed he ditched his own meet. It was a misunderstanding, We were only trying to help in the 1st place with suggestions, trying to not kill the meet, if I knew the crew that hosts the meet had plan everything together, then for sure man, its your meet guys. Which I later found out and understand, totally cool, the bowling was the official meet. But than now this

My whole point is that it's not fair to newcomers or people that don't frequent the boards.
I'll point out EXACTLY what happens and why it may SEEM as if it get unorganized. The reason being that the few times it's been hectic is because My self and say John and maybe a couple others will decide to go finish a game or what not, so to be cool well tell or ask if anyone else would like to join, now keep in mind we aren't moving the meet when we do this, next thing you know EVERYONE is following us or saying they want to go, THEN the **** gets hay wire. Like i said I nor anyone else have changed the spot of the meet, except for this last one. I gave plenty of posts letting people know as well as John, Henry, Jason, Kurt, 3 days is AMPLE time to figure out what is goin on IMO. Even if you dont check the thread till the day of, the last 10 post the night the meet is gonna happen are more than likely related to the thread. Now why people are getting false info about meet locations i have no idea because that is never the case, we are ALWAYS somewhere lol.
Now Levon you have been here for some time and posting in this thread for a while, you KNOW that this thread is not meet specific, and that other lil hangouts/kickbacks are ALWAYS being planned. Like I and Henry have stated, more times than i can count, the meet never never never never change from the 2nd and 4th thursday schedule. So yu guys never need to ask if/when a meet is gonna happen. The ONLY reason a meet will ever not happen is if it falls in like Christmas or some shiit like that.
To answer your question about the bowling, yes i believe a few of us will be going bowling tomorrow night or next thursday. Either way it is not meet specific, and would be pointless to make a whole new thread when only 4-5 people are gonna show up. We all know how people are when it comes to driving a few extra miles out of the way LOL.
So seriously there should be no comments about the disorganization of this meet all because of ONE meeting that was a lil hectic, (In which i KNOW at least a handfull of yu guys were WEEELLL aware of it yet still decided to do other things)
Henry and I have basically been running this meet since the first time i met all of you guys~!
I know 90% of the main people who come have my number so there was no reason they couldn't have called me to find out if there was confusion. So yeah thats it...

It also doesn't help when half the members on this forum board have absolutly no common sense, and can't figure out a damn thing on their own, basically if info isn't spoon fed to them they have no idea whats going on. LMAO!!!
Levon i completely understand the point you're trying to make. But lemme just point out the we have NEVER changed the meet location, aside from this one time so all this not fair commets and the meeting getting unorganized comments are unnessessary.

Shane I totally agree with you. The meet to the location itself was not changed, I just recall Henry mentioning it would not be worth going to the regular meeting spot and then going bowling so instead people will go straight to bowling, well the ones that wanted to go bowling.
I think that's where the confusion lies, where it was recommended for those that wanted to go bowling to not bother going to the regular meeting spot, however, the regular meeting spot was still open to others.
It just seems like a HUGE misunderstanding on everyone's part. I didn't think my question was going to lead to this. If I knew I would have kept my mouth shut.
I just want everyone to be on the same page. I love hanging out with you guys, you guys are my homies. We have good times in a non-homo way, lol.
Seems like everything is understandable now and we see eye to eye and where we overlooked some things. I'd say let's delete all these posts but then we lose post counts, hahaha. Anyway, it's all good with me and I'm just glad we got things settled. Stupid things like miscommunication should never cause conflict between good friends, and thats what I seriously consider all of you that I've met. People that really know me, know that I don't bullsh*t and if I don't like someone, I wouldn't fake myself into saying it, I'd just keep my mouth shut, but I'm being upfront and really mean what I say, you guys are good friends of mine and I want it to stay like that. I look forward to the next meet
Dude, you know how it is. You see some of the new topics created and people respond telling the OP to search first...some peops are just lazy, and some no common sense, lol.
