Title: How about a Bay Area meeting?
Post by: hauden_lukas on June 01, 2012, 03:40:51
I could envision a regular (once or twice a year) meeting in the (expanded) San Francisco Bay Area. It could be anything from a summer BBQ to a simple get-together.
Are we enough (motivated) members to get this going?

Let me know what you think of it - any suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

A Playmo-meet with possible BBQ on/near the beaches of SF... sounds interesting!
Just one thing; Could you then send a private-jet to pick me up in Brussels?  :uhoh:

Now that's a start! Thanks for the reply, Ras!

Just another suggestion: these meetings could be perfect trade occassions, so everyone could bring their spare parts.

Hey, Erwin, if you hop in a plane heading to SF, I am sure we find ways to accomodate you ...

Cheers,
HDL

PS: Anyone else interested?

I lost the argument for the laundry machines to be outside so I did have to give up some realestate, playmobil or dirty laundry Hmmm  :hissyfit:  :P playmobil does not smell  ;D

I will have to dig out my loose parts if we are going to have a West Coast Bay Area meeting, I would love to trade parts with other local members

Hi everyone,
I have been quiet for quite awhile, working endless hours of OT, but if you have a bay area meeting I would love to join you.  I actually live in SF proper, but that means I have an SF size house, and my collection would probably fit in Rasputin's back pocket by comparison.

This means, we could probably carpool  :wave:
 
It's not about the size of the collection, it's about the spirit - and even the smallest collection always can be extended and parts can be added. (don't take Ras' collection as the bar - I heard rumors that his local ToysRUs store calls him asking for supplies when they run out of stock... :lol:

I would love to exchange experience!

Cheers,
HDL

There might be more clickies living in Rasputin's shed than theres people living in some cities as well.  ;)

I wonder if clickies already outnumber the total population of people.. I read somewhere that lego minifigures already outnumber people 4 to 1.

Location location location, You might have a small place but you are with in walking distance of the historic Marina District beaches. And one of my favorite restaurants is in one of those warehouses across the street from safeway.

And I also lack a hospital, I have been bidding often but always loosing  :hissyfit: I even bought 3 extensions when they were  on sale  8}

You are right about that, but my klickies live under a imperial dynasty and I am the Tsar  :party: and if you oppose me my "army of clowns" will be summoned

With their numbers, you need to be real carefull about an uprising.  :lol:

 :lol: I'm afraid she's a bit too small!

But I'd be happy to board the Lady Washington, if Ras could master & commander the ship  ;) The "special crew" he told us about shouldn't form to much opposition  ;D

I'd love to come to the US for a holliday (with a regular flight), but then I should start to cut back a bit on my Playmo purchases ...  But for that I might have to get into rehab first  ;D

hauden lukas
you are in the SF area as well? 

Actually, Rasputin and his three wonderful boys have been over to my not-so-child-friendly house to pick up some miscellaneous things I had collected in various purchases and needed to get out to make more room, and they were wonderful guests.  In spite of their barn filled to the brim with so many klickies, they thought my small collection was great. 

Ras, thank you for your kind comments, and yes, I still have boxes of things to add to my hospital, but... time...  ah yes, never enough.
