What we've done is started at the golden gopher, then headed down to broadway bar, then la cita (lots of ladies if it's the right night), then to bar 107, then the edison. From here you have a multitude of places to eat, but we've always gone to little tokyo and grabbed noodles at daikokuya (best noodles ever), then you head down to the association and end up at the seven grand, where you can buy $100 whiskey cocktails if you want (the bartenders are crazy awesome at this place). My loft is two blocks from Seven Grand so we can hang out on the roof or whatever after that.

Daiko actually has teh 2nd or 3rd best noodles in la ;)

And finding enough space for a bunch of ATOT'ers = no fucking way.



OP, add a poll for the date please.

I'd say 4th week of March or 2nd week of April (4/18)


If the weekend is right I'd be willing to go up to the bay area.

++++ for Seven Grand. One of the best bars in LA.

So far I really like abaez's suggestion. Anyone else with good scenarios? Don't let this die, fuckers!

April is fine for me, I'd like it to be a nice turnout. How does April work for others?

haha, I can do the carpool (If i'm in the country during the time of the meet that is...).


Man, So many San Diegans in AT too! I live with TWO AT'ers as well hahahaha (although one is an ultra lurker, but gained fame from Ikariam, and the other posts once every month? haha).

Good to see more replies. Would anyone be interested in doing a second bay area meet?

ok i lie, candyland is badass and id be there in a heartbeat.


then again i wonder if syringer and accruedexpenditure are going to try their luck again at the annual sushi eating contest at ichiban's in may. if we do another san diego meet for that event i think we should do a side bet on who can knock out more pieces of sushi between the atot'ers who compete in it.

I'm all for having another SD meetup centered around ichiban's sushi eating contest... it'd be pretty cool to have 5-10 enter and compete against each other
