SoCal VF5 party with Shin! Starts TOMORROW!

Just when you thought it was time to relax with some laid back VF5 play, those crazy SoCal VF'ers throw a party with almost no notice at all![/size] See, I just got this phone call from Srider[/size]... "Hey, me and Shin are coming to L.A. tomorrow and want to play some VF5. Oh, you're welcome to hype Shin all you want because he'll back up any claim you make about his playing."[/size]

"Sweet!" - Ashton Kutcher



That sounds like all the hype I need right there - so here goes...[/size]


It's time to play at Plague's house!

Pack up your PS3s, High Grades, and RAP3s. Bring your new-found VF5 skills and come to battle with the best SoCal, North America, and the world has to offer. Players from all over the globe are welcome to attend. I think it's definitely worth the effort.

There's always something magical about these events and the universal thought from the people that miss them could actually be this.[/size]

Event Date: Thursday, April 27th through some time into next week(!) 2007.

Quick List of what's happening: Little(?) gathering Thursday (tomorrow) night, Big Party Friday night, and then you'll just have to watch this thread, 'cause, hey, I don't really know what's going on after that.[/size]

Now for the details...


Party Place: Plague's House - 8538 Wild Pony Drive, Riverside, CA 92509

Party Time(s): Thursday: 7:00pm to midnight. Friday: 7:00pm till whenever, Saturday-Tuesday to be announced!


If all this sounds good to you - here's where to stay and how to get here...

Places to stay: My house or, if you want to use a Hotel/Motel, you can use the Motel 6 near Plague's house which is 2.3 miles from the house. If you wish to call my house your home during the party, here's a list of the soft places on which you can attempt to sleep: two couches and two recliners . I recommend you pack sleeping bags and pillows just in case. These soft places are not reserved for anyone. If you need to sleep, you use whatever spot you can find - it's likely to be amongst other people still awake and playing VF. A shower is available. I ask that it be used at what should be the quieter times of day - specifically 9am to around 1pm when people tend to be asleep and not needing to use the restroom.

I'm gonna leave the flying instructions in just because it's so effening cool that people fly here just for VF, ya know?

Flying in to SoCal: Please schedule arrivals and departures from ONT airport (Ontario, California). If you're an intercontinental traveler, I believe you must land in LAX. I can provide housing and transportation from the morning of Thursday the 29th through the morning of Monday the 2nd. Please post or PM your itinerary to confirm your visit. It builds excitement and momentum - it's the stuff that gets more and more people to say "You know? I'm gonna buy my plane tickets and go to this thing!"

Will you hit traffic? Yah, it's Southern California - you bet there will be traffic. Don't let that sway you! This trip is worth every minute of it.

What we provide: 32" SDTV (480i), US PS3 with VF5, two Virtua High-Grade sticks, four 20" widescreen Dell Monitors with HDMI to DVI cables + audio, two 25" (or so) SDTVs, air conditioning, fridge full of soda, various chips, pretzels, and what-not, places to sit, room for five or six (maybe seven?) VF setups.

Please make the effort to bring these things - your contribution will add so much to this event. Besides the 32" SDTV, we have six ready-to-use displays (two SDTVs and four HDTV monitors). We need your gaming set-ups.[/size]

What about food? Everyone usually chips in for food. Lots of fast food in the area. Good sit-down restaurants, too. Plus, there are pizza places that deliver.

Who's gonna be there? Well, in the past we've had some of the best that Southern California, the West Coast, the East Coast, and the world has to offer - any one of them could make a return visit: akiralove, andy, Myke, Srider, Joey (GY_beta), mukatsuku_shun, YOSUKE, ice-9, bearcrusher, kurita, Namflow, Rocket Pai, adamYUKI, kazu, Shag, Konjou_Akira, Denkai84, maddy, thebradSHow, s_aki, Ladon, DRE, Chanchai, HowBoutSum, GodEater, MADrox, Kaminari_Oyaji, stompoutloud, Jerky, SiYkO, Pushku, IronJUNKIE, Shang, Shou, Zero-chan, Fishie, growcian, afroconnexion, EL_Brisal73, L_A_Akira, Team Tokyo Mafia (PhoenixDth, Sean, GoatCheeseBlues), Ken__I, Exile, SillyWilly, KTallguy, Unsafe_Dan, CaliJared, Lion-2P, KoD, Renzokuken, Raoul, THE_WALL, snapz, sirphobos, Lawrence, Paolo, Tierzo, Riona, FatalRose, Matt_K, Type Tenchi, Banes, Mindscan, Whoa_its_Eric, Mike90210, vf5akira, Gribbly and Team Pandemic (Austin, Forrester, Jimmy), sgtsmurf, Joon, Weslyzm, 2012, firstpressing, Rikyu, Adam, Amir, Chris, Chris II, Adrian, Peter, Mike, Jacob, Collette,[/size] and many more!

Maybe this time we'll get six setups going! Maybe even seven!

What's gonna happen? Lots of VF5. Major good times.

Remember this: During a SoCal VF Event - Sleeping is not important. School is not important. Work is not important, either - that's what every other day of the year is for![/size]

Please post your intent to show up right here on this thread - it generates excitement and results in larger attendance.

OMG! SoCal VF5 rocks!

 

YEEAAAHHH!! Sweet, I'll be there. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Man!! I promised myself that I will go to the next Socal event, but this is too soon =P Anyways have fun guys. Make sure to bring lubrication for the rapings /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

What?! One day notice not enough for you?! HAHAHAHAH!

 

I have already ordered the body bags and cleanup crew after the tsunami hits there tomorrow. Also, I have sent out 4-5 psychologists to counsel the survivors remaining.

Goodluck everyone and most importantly have fun!< I forget this alot, lol...
<u>"It's like your moving in slow motion!"</u>

Peace^-^

 

Fuck! I'm guessing there is no get together in NorCal this weekend. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

I was hoping to increase the ratio:
Shin 12 Me 1 (total fucking fluke)

 

It would of been nice if Shin were at the last gathering..well make sure you save a bunch of replays

 

Have a blast you guys! Wish I could be there (I would so be there if I could!).

Well, we all know what the most anticipated replays for the next few weeks will be!

-Chanchai

 

no go

 

who is shin?

 

Another future Willy fan /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

that's so funny.

 

First, there was Yotaku. Then (maybe) Shintaku!

 

LOL, there definitely will be Shintaku!

Willy's AWESOME! You've got your stand up comedians, your stage/skit comedians... and here comes Silly Willy who should make his living being an "Escort Comedian." It's a unique talent and you sometimes wonder if he's insane in all the right ways. Awesome for out of town VFers. But I bet he could make a fortune turning his services to the ladies!

Yes, Willy... Even the white chicks would completely dig it!

(But don't forget us VFers when we come to town.)

-Chanchai

 

Wish I could make it guys. =/

 

Sorry I couldn't make it. Last minute crisis with the kids. The joys (and sometimes anguish) of being a parent.

 

cant make it on both days, too much stuff to finish before the weekend

 

Shin hax, wtf.

lol, I think everyone left around midnight at least me. There was Willy, Ken. I, Me, Srider, Shin, and Plague. It was pretty nice. We need to get ranking battles started cause I've been DYING for VF action, not owning a PS3 is gay.

 

Awesome night. Thank you all for showing up and here's to more VF5 madness tonight! (Insert Hurrah! Party! icon here)

Extra thanks to Shin and Srider for making the trip all the way out to the house.

 

i would like to make it to one of these.

too bad the drive from orange county to riverside sucks, especially on a friday night.

maybe next time
