June 26th and July 10th Mixer

[MelissaModerator]

Alright so let’s make this happen. Let’s meet each other at our own mixer! To make things simple, how’s June 26th? We all have different schedules but would the evening work? Location is always kinda hassle to pin down but if you guys have suggestions, I’m all ears.

Anyhow, let’s make something happen.

[MichelleParticipant]

I’m completely down for this. My son has a water polo tournament during the day so the evening is great:) Thank you Melissa for starting this:)

[Iris HalliwellParticipant]

Sadly this is a little too short notice for me :-/ I have plans next weekend. I was going to try to aim something for the weekend of July 9th-10th. Buuuuut I am only one person so we can always do both, and I hope you all have a wonderful time without me.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

I could only do evening that day as I will be coming back in town. But this sounds fun!

[Jake OParticipant]

escape room mixer?

[CodyParticipant]

Hopefully this falls on my trip there boys and gals! I would love to meet you guys!

[MelissaModerator]

@endlesspictures not a bad idea, it just depends on whose in for sure. Plus getting an escape room for next weekend may be hard to pull off but it’s not impossible.

@irishalliwell120, yes we can absolutely do something in July as well! I just personally went for June 26th because I know @111error will be in town and I wanted some opportunity to get Tension people together in case the June 25th OOA Orientation is a bust due to the calendar being ignored. But ya if you want to plan the July date let us know, I’m partially free that weekend.

[Susie JParticipant]

Me and @prufrock5150 are down for the 26th and in July!

[Susie JParticipant]

Here’s a thought, we could reserve a party room at like a pizza place or a bowling alley, decorate it for a kid’s party and just all show up in black and stand around quietly being creepy.

[Jake OParticipant]

this would be amazing

[CodyParticipant]

Lmao.

[Anonymous]

Amazing.

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

Just a thought, but does anyone have a house or property where we can BBQ and have our own dinner? I would love to cook for you all, I’m quite handy in the kitchen 😜

[MelissaModerator]

I like all the ideas! How about this:

June 26–somewhere public because a mixer at someone’s house may be too short of time to get that organized.

July date–maybe mixer at someone’s house or apartment/condo rec room area?? I’d personally say Mac and cheese gathering

[Iris HalliwellParticipant]

Yay @mkarrett that’s great news! Except the part about @111error being in town on what is clearly the wrong weekend as I will not be there to meet his awesome self. I guess we will both have to return to the city of angels to make that happen.
@kingkill33 I think that’s an amazing idea and would gladly offer my house, but everyone and their mother would have to come all the way down to San Diego to do so. But I love food, so we’ll have to figure out a way that you can make some. Perhaps barbeque at a park or beach? Do people still do this? What kind of food do you cook?
@endlesspictures I’d do an escape room with you any day. Sounds like fun

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

@irishalliwell120 My specialties are Italian, American BBQ, and Mexican, but give me a recipe and I’ll nail it. I definitely have enough tricks up my sleeve to cook for us.
@mkarrett I have outdoor grills and a pool/spa. Maybe we can plan for that down the line. I’d have to clear it with the apartments, which has been done before, but it would require some planning.

[Susie JParticipant]

June mixer, July potluck! I’ll bring the sausage dip!

[Iris HalliwellParticipant]

@mkarrett -“Macaroni and cheese gathering”-I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED ABOUT ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.
Can we please invite @gatekeeper3 ? We all know how much he loves cheesy noodles 😛
@kingkill33 -Italian?!? Please say lemon chicken. Pleeeaaassse say lemon chicken. God I love lemon chicken.

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

@irishalliwell120 How about one better… A lemon caper sauce with grilled chicken breast, served on a tussle of angle hair pasta, with a house made ceaser salad. Oh gawd, I wanna eat now haha.

[MelissaModerator]

@kingkill33 can you inquire with your dwelling manager and see if it would be okay for us to come in July?

[Anonymous]

Can I skype in?

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

@mkarrett I will as soon as I get home in a few days. I’ll keep you updated.

[MelissaModerator]

Thanks @kingkill33! If I don’t hear from you in a few days I’ll follow-up.

[MichelleParticipant]

I make a killer vanilla bean cheesecake with homemade whipped cream and a chocolate wafer crust.

I’m in for both dates as well. I may be a little late to the July gathering but I’ll make it work.

[MelissaModerator]

@halfbloodfangirl –I make a mean spinach artichoke cheese dip! With Mac and Cheese I think we could actually have a pretty awesome cheese-centric gathering!

• This reply was modified 8 years, 5 months ago by  Melissa.

[MichelleParticipant]

@mkarrett Bring your own cheese dish party! Instead of BYOB, we’ll bring our own cheese. 😉

[CodyParticipant]

So I would like to put it forward that we should follow the advice of 4 and make the events a “family affair”.
I was wondering how literal this was meant to be.
When I arrive in LA in July I will be accompanied by my family. My misses has given me the go ahead to abandon them for a day or two for events while we are there. If there were to be a community gathering I would like all of your blessings for them to attend as well. She Is starting to become quite interested herself.
If not I understand. It seems to me that any good community has families within them… I dunno. lol.

[Susie JParticipant]

I say bring them. The more the merrier. My husband was graciously welcomed and eventually pulled in as a full apostle himself, right @prufrock5150? =P

[CodyParticipant]

Oh my 😄. @prufrock5150?… Is your Ole man!? What!! Bahahaha 😮. You guys are two of my favorite individuals on here. So full of imagination. Cant wait to meet you guys for reals!

I must go now. A tasty treat awaits to satisfy my ravenous munchies!
hahaha

[MikeParticipant]

Hell yeah….but only if you say “aboot” and “eh” a lot 😀

[CodyParticipant]

Oh yes, I will be dropping mega éh bombs on the reg. Not to sure about the aboot’s though. However, the top of my head will definitely flail wildly when I speak.

[MelissaModerator]

For June 26th gathering I was thinking EightyTwo or XLanes in little Tokyo.

However, I’m holding off on solidifying the meet up place until I figure out where VesCorp is doing their event that evening.

[MikeParticipant]

I don’t think we should do a bar since *some* people wouldn’t be able to attend…coughrizzocough and whoever else has that problem :/

[Jake OParticipant]

damn @rizzzoooooo always screwing everything up!

[Susie JParticipant]

Leave him alone! He’s just a baby! 😆

[Michael RizzoParticipant]

Thanks for thinking of me bb ❤️
BUT by then I should be good to go for those venues 😉😉

[MelissaModerator]

Ohhhhhhh I keep forgetting we have youngin’s. No problem, Wurstkusch has that patio area. We’ll figure it out, I’m sure.

[JoeKayeParticipant]

I’m down for whatever y’all. Sorry I’ve been so quiet this past week. Things have been a little emotionally rough on my end. I’m feeling better. Much better.

[MelissaModerator]

Sounds good, we’ll see you this Sunday! TBA location

[LordofDecayParticipant]

You’ll have to post pictures after the fact for those of us not in the area! I guess if there is any North Dakotans in the forums I would love to meet up 😀

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Totally down for the 26th!

[NosnevetsParticipant]

Totally up for offering my backyard for one of these or future barbecues. I have a small charcoal grill, a big backyard, and a pool =). Might need to buy some chairs and things though depending on how many are interested in coming.

[MelissaModerator]

Okay location determined for June 26, 2016 from 7-10p:

Wurstküche
800 E 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90013

Hope to see you there fellow Tensionites!

I’ll post to forum on Sunday once I’m there to give you an idea where I’m seated. It will probably be the patio if there’s space.

@kasch, @jkonigsberg, @rizzzoooooo, @mike, @prufrock5150, @monkeymuffin333, @halfbloodfangirl

Where is it going to be?

[MelissaModerator]

Pasadena, CA

I’ll edit my post but the information is in this thread.

[Anonymous]

Looks like I need about $1000 to go; better start saving up.

[Susie JParticipant]

Is it still cheese themed?

[MelissaModerator]

@monkeymuffin333 sure! I mean who doesn’t like cheese? Actually we should probably say what we’re bringing so we avoid bringing nothing but sodas and meatballs.

Please indicate if you’re bringing something here on this google spreadsheet please.

[Susie JParticipant]

@prufrock5150, please put us down for sausage dip and chips.

[prufrock5150Participant]

So, one keg of meatball soda. Check.

[LucusParticipant]

“A keg of meatball soda” I have tears from the laughter.

[CrelegantParticipant]

I really wish I weren’t in far, far away Tennessee-land and could go to stuff. I’d bring everyone one of those annoying little party blower things! XD

[MelissaModerator]

I wish you weren’t so far too!

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

I tried the google doc and it wasn’t working on my phone @mkarrett but I will bring meat to bbq up, possibly kabobs. I’ll also bring other stuff to bbq for during the day.

[MelissaModerator]

Ya I’m a dummy and forgot to change permissions, it’s changed now but I’ll put you down for meat/BBQ stuff.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Want me to bring some Ecto Cooler?

[MelissaModerator]

Holy crap I haven’t had Ecto Cooler in a long time! They still make that?!

[Neil KingParticipant]

Looks like I’ll be able to make this Sunday’s mixer! Tell me what to bring and I’ll bring it.

[MelissaModerator]

@nking please bring whatever excites you!

[MikeParticipant]

Did anyone notice that III is apparently coming and bringing a plumbus tomorrow? He (or someone) put it down on the Google Doc! hahaha

[CodyParticipant]

I dont see this “plumbus” in the google doc. I do see that my chronicle has been slightly modified however.
What is the importance of the “Â’s” all over the place?

[CodyParticipant]

I see. Was looking at the wrong google doc. hah.

[CodyParticipant]

“plumbus
First they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebop and push it through the krumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a schlomi shows up, and rubs it, and spits on it. They cut the fleeb. There are several hizzards in the way. The blamphs rub against the trumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old plumbus.
Everyone has a plumbus in their home.”

[EziParticipant]

I think III has been at netflix again!

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

Can’t wait to see alot of you tomorrow! Already got the salsa and beef kabobs marinating overnight for ultimate deliciousness!!

[MikeParticipant]

Also, can we have some sort of rule that if you’re playing that stupid Pokemon game more than you’re hanging out/chatting with everyone, that you get to meet III and his staple gun?

[JoeKayeParticipant]

A) not stupid
B) DONT CRUSH MY CHILDHOOD DREAMS FONTAINE! 😩😩

[Susie JParticipant]

I will restrain myself. 😔

[Susie JParticipant]

*plots to take a picture of a Pokemon on @mike‘s head*. 😼

[Mustafa SaidParticipant]

I support this idea. 😀

[RustyParticipant]

I bet there will be Pokemon. How much do they eat… my dip recipe came out smaller than I expected :/

[111_errorParticipant]

[AH-layParticipant]

Ah heck…at times like these is when I wish I wasn’t living in the little town of Prescott Valley, AZ…have fun, guys!

[EziParticipant]

Hope you guys have a great day! Keep an eye on the happenings, seems maybe you will get a treasure hunt?

[JoeKayeParticipant]

Is anybody heading from the NoHo/Burbank/Valley Village/etc. areas? Could I maybe bum a ride with one of y’all? 😀

[_Michael GrayParticipant]

Just sent you a PM. Let’s work this out.

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@jkonigsberg – we’ll be passing through, can pick you up if no one else is available. But we’re going to leave a little early at six or seven. Check pm’s for my number if you want to take me up on that

[JoeKayeParticipant]

Thanks y’all the fabulous Michael Grey is gonna give me a ride. See y’all soon!!!

[American RuinParticipant]

Hope everyone is having fun!
I was looking forward to meeting everyone, but I wont be able to make it out this time.
Here’s hoping something unexpected brings a little tension for all.

Cheers!

[111_errorParticipant]

[NateParticipant]

It is absolutely imperative that someone post any occurrences exactly at 8 your time.

[AmieParticipant]

Just curious of the reason for this, not sure if I missed something.

[Andrew KaschParticipant]

Why do you say that?

[MelissaModerator]

Why?

[creepsocietyParticipant]

Why do you say that?

[NateParticipant]

Because I’m thirty five and a half hours away and there’re others who are more and I just wanna knowwwww. Lol. I say eight because that’s the end time of the party.

[ReidVParticipant]

Seeing such a diverse and amazing group of friends is what this is all about. 😃
(Btw we are flipping off dear @111error 😘)

[AmieParticipant]

Oh my goodness, @daela @reaton are you sharing an arm? 😆

[creepsocietyParticipant]

😭 whyyyy am I so far 😭 This looks wonderful! ❤️
