your welcome 🙂

 
Samir: You got that girl's number. Good job bro.

i owe serious gratitude to you for that... like i mentioned when i came in, my priorities are seriously misplaced. i owe ya' for that spur of the moment "thank you idea."

how about I buy ya' a drink at Off Campus or something?

btw... where did you run off to? by the time i turned my head, you had run off. i thought you were playing role of wingman. 🙂

 
dude there were some cuties up in the party tonite. crap now that i said that the next meet is gonna be a total sausage fest.

wonder if I should bring jennipha and vanessa to the next meet. Okay vanessa is mine but jennipha is shopping even though she has a bf (or as she calls it sugar daddy - just dont tell her I told you that).

I think Newt was very cute.. didnt know who the rest were.... nor did I actually look at them face to face. If Kim was who I think she is, then yeah i know who she is.. but otherwise i really never looked at any other lady other than Ivy, Newt and Kim (for a microsecond).
 
Samir! damn you drive fast!

I dont really drink and I was playing wingman until I realized everyone left already in the elevator. Then I was more like, "Noooo im gonna miss the afterparty!"

That girl though was HOT! Dude she was completely on your jock. You lucky guy.
 
Thanks to Ivy for hosting us.

Thanks to John for stockpiling food for us. Also sorry for picking on you a bit. 😀

Shouts to the cute ladies that attended.

I was the tall asian guy with spikey hair.

i got in before you? very strange. as for the "afterparty" there was some talk of going to the... hell where was it... i forget what club. andy was up for it as was Charlotte, but i dunno exactly what happend, the idea disolved.

next time. we'll schedule something in advance so we all know where to meet up once the initial festivites end.

well, i gotta replay somehow. i guess i need to be your wingman in the event you need one.

If I remember right.. most of the prior So.Cal things were impromptue after the main event took place.. every one of them had some sort of an after party.

I would have probably popped in for some coffee or somethin but that would have been the extent of my after party, even though 4Play was very near by and so was Cafe Muse.

Hi It was fun! Thanks Dezign who just barely won our marathon three hour Trivial Pursuit game (NEXT TIME GADGET.. next time..) She'll have tons of chips and beer to eat for the next oh... three months?

Thanks again Dezign!
😀

Got back a while ago, despite that sudden, temporary jam-up on the 10. If any of you saw a blue E36 streaking by, that was probably me. 😛

Anyways, it was good enough fun and worth the drive. Got to see some old (Crono, Andylaw, OS, TGG & abaez among them) and new faces. Now it seems like I know every SoCal ATOT'er---at least the ones brave enough to come out and play. 😉

Alas, I only got one Trivial Pursuit game in since I arrived somewhat late (nothing compared to our ol' buddy Manjul heh). When I arrived, some folks were already immersed in games of Scattergories and some version of Risk. I was surprised how many peeps arrived after me. Plenty of food and drinks were on hand. Didn't have much time to consume them, or converse with everybody there unfortunately. Definitely need to do this earlier in the day next time would be my suggestion.

BTW, that was a "Hi, now get home and finish that farkin' paper and get off the SoF2 for a sec" sorta beep there, Manjul. Hopefully, a random quip/quote was good enough to get the gears in the noggin goin' again, hehe. Good luck tomorrow man. 🙂

LET'S ALL SEND OUT A BIG THANKS TO DEZIGN... our Trivial Pursuit winnar and world-class host! Much love. 😉

Once again, it was great seein' ya all. 🙂

Something tells me the girls woulnd't be too keen on 4play 😉

I forgot to say thanks to an attendee who's gonna send alot of us some really cool looking bonsai plants for free !

Definately needed to spruce up my barebones apartment.

well, how was it? fun? hehe based off on these posts...it sounded like it...ok maybe next time..... 🙂


EDIT: btw, whatever happened to those pics from tsiaco's meet? ..it never got posted 🙁
 
Whooooooooooooooooo!!

Okay, here I am at work, eating Danny's/SOSTrooper's (red shirt in the picture) shrimp chips for breakfast... 😀 Mmmmmmm, shrimp chips...

Alright, ladies first... thank you weezergirl for bring your sweet roommie and schooling EVERYONE on RISK: LOTR Edition... it was great meeting you, glad you two were able to make it and even out the M:F ratio a bit.

A million and one thanks to Jonathan/JonathanM (striped shirt in the back in the picture) , who came early (same time as Danny!) at 7:25pm sharp and brought TONS (literally, tons) of chips n drink... with everything you brought, you pretty much fed the whole gang... 😀 It was great chatting with you, hope you kicked butt at RISK... you and Kim need to teach me how to play so I can join in next time.

It was fantastic meeting Rufio You're such a friendly, outgoing, funny guy... next time, let's hope your girlfriend doesn't have a science fair and can make it after all. Good job smacking everyone in SCATTERGORIES... and I was gonna go back for more rounds, too.

Hello to ALDO (second from the left, back row), who was holding your own in both Scattergories AND Trivial Pursuit... thanks for putting up with me blabbering away next to you, you definitely held your own pie-wise... 🙂

James/OS (back row, fourth from left, black leather jacket and gray-ish shirt), it was fun seeing you again... 🙂 We've gotta kick Oliver's butt for not attending... thanks for helping out XinMei with Scattergories... wait... she was the one who saved you from your "3" answer. 😀 Heh heh heh... okay, so neither of us are mechanical engineers... 😛

Van/neovan and his lovely girlfriend Tina, (van = far left, standing up, happy Asian guy 😀 Tina = lady also on the far left) thanks for bringing your bright cheery selves (along with plates and cups and pop)... Tina was such a sweetheart (hardcore Scrabble-r), and you/van came SO close to winning in Trivial Pursuit. You need a 3... now you need a 1... dammit, now you need a 3 again... 😀

Steven, (SNUCK AWAY, NOT IN THE PICTURE!) what can I say... you redeemed yourself in Trivial Pursuit, and I thought my fish clue was a good one. 😛 "Jack and Jill... *cough* Jack... JACK!!!!" I think that one Heineken was one too much... 😉

LordUnum/Rob (?) (fifth from the right, black jacket/white shirt)... GAH, I just totally blanked... how could I forget, after that marathon TP game?? It's all about pie karma, man... 😉

Many thanks to Ivar (blonde fratboy-looking type, second from the right in the back row) for the million and one clues during TP... it's too bad I'm not a better lip reader. You SO look 16 and underage... heh... 😛

Samir/xyyz (standing, third from left in khaki), dude... DID YOU GET HER NUMBER??? Tonight I learned I have hot neighbors. Very hot neighbors. Did you see that girl in the white tank top? Yowza... room 307, right? 😉 I'm gonna go over and introduce myself after work today... heh... next meetup ATOT, I'm on it... you can thank me later. 😀

Chirac (standing, far right, red plaid) and Andy (kneeling, tan shirt), I'm sorry I kept forgetting your name!! Glad you guys had fun playing cards... sorry I couldn't join, I was involved in the LONGEST TRIVIAL PURSUIT GAME EVER (no more Genus edition, we need some questions from THIS century)...

Charlotte/newt (second from right, black shirt/green skirt), I'm so glad you were able to make it! You were so sweet, it was wonderful chatting with you (however briefly). I noticed you got right down to the strip poker, woman on a mission, hehehe... 🙂

Very happy you came, BruinEd03/Ed (a photographer, not a subject apparently 😛 )... can't wait to see your pics, you certainly have a flair for capturing moments. 🙂 Sorry to play the name game so many times, and I'll keep you updated on your offer... thanks again for it, I really appreciate it.

Manjul/The_good_guy (bottom row, kneeling, patterned shirt) wins the prize for arriving the LATEST... when the door buzzed at 10:40, we were all like... uh... who's that? Of could you had to "make your appearance"... glad you did, sorry Vanessa couldn't come. Hope all her (and your!) studying got done and that you managed to ride home safely!

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH... I'm drawing a blank on two names... front left, kneeling (navy blue shirt) and fifth from the right, standing (frat shirt 😛 ). You guys game late too... sorry I was totally immersed in the game, please send over a friendly reminder... 🙂

Once again, a HUGE thanks to everyone who attended from near (2 blocks away) and far (Orange County/Irvine)... I had such a great time, and it definitely wasn't just another ordinary Wednesday night. It was wonderful meeting all of you, and we'll have to do it again sometime... goodness knows I have the snacks/soda/alcoholic beverages for it. 😀 Xinmei says thank you to everyone as well, she had a fantastic time (although she was really surprised so many people showed up... neither of us have ever seen so many in our apartment at one time). Thank you all for being so much fun (and so polite and so funny and so clean), I'm off to work a bit now but I'll talk to you all soon, I'm sure...
 
So, since Dezign probably needs help eating all those chips.. when's the next one? 😛

I might be up for hosting one.. my place is probably as big as Dezigns but it won't be able to happen until schools over..
