It is my goal to meet all Hatrackers in the SoCal area. Yet time and again, Damien has thwarted this goal. (He's not the ONLY one. *glare*)
Soooo . . . this thread is to get the SoCallers to a) convince Damien to come to a Shinda, and b) figure out how to provide the necessary transportation.

Damien, being a generous sort, has agreed to a mini-Shinda Monday, May 24. Downtown L.A., at a Tea Leaf and Coffee Bean. Anyone else who'd like to join us is welcome.
Ooops, it's called Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Oh well, at least I didn't call it Tea Bean & Coffee Leaf this time.

We're meeting about noonish. Corner of 7th and flower. 801 w 7th. Apparently RIGHT at a metro station (where I will be coming from, heh)...

Ok. Chances are slim, since Mama won't be able to take Superstation with her to work that day. Thus, if I do attend, it will be with a six-month-old in tow. Not impossible, though....

I'll twist my panties anyway I see fit. No pun intended. Or it was. Eitherway. Hooray for twisted panties. And come to the invite thingie.

Well, this is what I get for not looking in this thread earlier. I will be in SoCal on Monday. Don't know if I can make it to said shinda, but I'll take the particulars with me, and see if I can work something out. Noonish? That sounds good. I'll be in Buena Park, but a drive isn't out of the question.
Like I said, no promises, and if I can show up, I'll likely have my mother with me. But, we'll see.

Thanks, rivka. As I said, I can't promise anything, but since I will be in reasonable driving distance, I'm going to try to make it. I've tried to get to two other shidae and wasn't able to get there at the last minute. Maybe the third time is the charm? (Ouch. How cliche is that?) At least, I've got the name and address, date and time written on the back of my hotel confirmation, so it will definitely be coming with me on the trip.
Hope to see you Monday.

You're talking an hour, possibly an hour and a half to get from Buena Park to Downtown LA at that time of day. Not that I want to discourage you from attending the mini-Shinda. But that (and the fact that I can't take that long a lunch break) is why I won't be able to make it (working in Fullerton and all).

Aww, no Mooselet? But it'll make Pop's life simpler to only have to deal with one kid -- dealing with us SoCal jatraqueros takes a lot out of anyone. Yay that I'll get to see Superstation again. And his dad, too.
quote: What IS a shinda?
It's one of those weird Californian things. A shinda (plural: shindae) is a gathering of SoCal jatraqueros. There is some debate as to whether gatherings that do not include certain persons are in fact shindae; however, I believe that the majority has decided that they are.

That's reasonable, Pop. I know how hard it is to get anywhere with kidlets in tow. Hope you two can make it.

*shrugs* A Veggie Sandwich, maybe? Or possibly even a pastry at the coffee joint we're hittin' up for this thing? If so, you're allowed again. =)

Lara, I think the knick-mack-Shinda-whack is scheduled for June 6th.
fallow, we're meeting at a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf -- they don't HAVE ham sandwiches, I'm quite sure. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003
