SPCNET Gathering - Bostonian tyle

[Sugar]

excuses..i thought my absence would allow you more time to record!
i've invested in you so i should be at the top of your list!

don't know how to say this , but you weren't the first to invest in me.. there were others with bigger offers :

I find it funny how you guys keep throwing these gatherings and everyone always back out at the last minute.

Here are the reasons why these gathering will never work...

Everyone's from different places and SPCNET doesn't have a big enough community to have a substantial number of members in one area. So even if there is a gathering no more than a handful of people will show up. And no one is gonna go out of their way to meet a couple of strangers from online.

What we gonna do once we meet? Pretend to know each other? That's gonna be awkward. Sure, let's go to Sin City. Anyone here up for clubbing or going to a show? No? Oh sh it, what are we gonna do now? Are we gonna hang out for the whole day or a couple of hours? There's no organization. There's no plan. Just a few idealistic individuals with the intention to meet up. "Oh! So that's how you look like!" Yeah, that's gonna motivate alot of members to come.

Not everyone is thrilled about meeting new faces. Everyone's scared of encountering weird people. There's no point in trying to ignore it. We're not that close. The guys might want to meet the girls but the girls don't wanna come if there are not enough of them. And the guys also don't wanna come if it's just a one huge sausage fest.

There's a lot of truth in what you write heh....

And then there's the matter of---why should a bunch of people spend $ and traveling time to go to a certain place, *cough* Boston *cough* where a certain # of spcneters already reside there and can just stroll out. Who wouldn't like it if everyone goes to THEIR hometown? But so many people, so many places, so little money/time.

you'd go with the highest bidder? you have no sense of propriety and loyalty!
...and i bet you're going to recycle your recording and give them to all your 'investors'

[GuGu]

I'll be at LAX on july 19th from 8pm-10pm if anyone wants to come stalk me. If you get a picture, you can post it here and I'll admit it was me. ^_^

[pemberly]

btw, I recommend Quincy Market as well

pfft, quincy market, fanuel hall, haymarket, same thing! different names for the same place. i think i'm most correct bc qm and fh are just those buildings. haymarket includes them all and more!

lol, actually I was so confused I took the time to look this all up - apparently Haymarket is for open-market produce (thanks pemberly - both you and sugar with her Chinatown suggestion are not really grasping that I'm a tourist), Quincy Market is a building (??? then wtf is it called a market?) and Fanueil Hall or however you spell it is a marketplace. All according to Wikipedia.

Anyway, thanks a bunch everyone for the info. The last shirt I bought included 13% sales tax, so I'll be doing a lot of shopping. So be on the look-out - if any of you see a small girl with enormous sunglasses and leggings who is rambling incessantly in an annoying voice, you've probably met Sparky.

Ugh I had another question but I'm so hungry...12:51 am...too late to eat asdfjkl;.

I know. How hard is it for the ones who live in Boston to just pick a Saturday and hang out. It's probably more interesting to talk about it than actually doing it. Which is fine because most of the people in this thread were not even sincere anyway. I'll meet a Victoria Secret model in my bedroom before any of these guys meet each other.

I've met Suet Seung and PJ met another SPCNET's member before so I don't find the odds of us meeting each other one day very low at all.

Well, if you're already going there anyway, regardless of whether you're meeting any SPCNETers, then why not meet some SPCNETers as a bonus.

It's like when I met Laviathan: I was on vacation in Amsterdam, and he happened to be nearby. It made sense for us to meet.

Of course, if multiple SPCNETers can plan a trip to a common destination at the same time, that would be ideal

[999roses]

I think your first option is easier.....one person going to a city with a lot of Spcneters already. Of course easier than a bunch of Spcneters coming from a bunch of different cities.

In fact, I know of 3+ people who live in my city and even then, I wouldn't really spend the effort to meet them heh. But then again, they probably dunno that I'm from that city in the first place ahaha....

well. i got lot of love to give

i believe u.
but whaaaat, u never ask ME to go on a ****ing date!!

[bellamia]

I don't think anyone is discounting the possibility of a meeting/gathering among the folks that live in the same state or city. Also, it is likely that people are open to meeting other Spcnet members if they happen to be in the area vacationing or on a business trip. However, it's less probable, as Radken had alluded, for people to spend money and fly to some *destination* just simply for the sole purpose of meeting some strangers that they have met over the internet.

Well, we just have to find the right time when the most people will be at one place at the same time. I love traveling.
