I'm hoping to meet the local watch community and would love to attend any of these meetups.

So, everyone saying they’re interested… Is there any one person who puts these things together? I don’t wanna step on any toes by starting to come up with proposals, someone someone else usually does this. But, let’s try to make this happen in the next month or two, by starting some meaningful discussion! Let’s hear some preferences: Weekdays versus weekends? Indoors, or outdoors? In SF, or surrounding Eastbay? Lunch-time, or dinner/evening? (I’m assuming meeting at a restaurant where we can order food and drink) Have I missed anything? What would everyone like? (let’s do this!!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Friday and Saturdays can be pretty busy in The City, but maybe that’s more free for everybody who are working. Lunch versus dinner? No we don’t need much organization… Just a place, time, a room big enough for whoever RSVP’s, and getting the word out. People have mentioned security concerns with too much exposure to passers-by, so it would be great to do it indoors, so we can lay out our toys, and have fun! Can you think of some places?

I'd be interested in a Bay Area get-together. I lived in San Francisco for almost fifty years, but moved to the wine country 2 1/2 years ago.
S.F., East Bay, Peninsula, or North Bay would be OK with me.

I am interested too and can help try to secure a location since I live in the city and know some folks with venues. May I request that we do a GTG/Swap meet? Would love to see whats out there locally and not have to worry about shipping and undisclosed issues and I have some pieces I would like to move too.

oh man great momentum going !! also so down for this event. i would say weekends, like saturday early dinner/drinks at an enclosed outdoor seating type venue. i don't want to volunteer to organize but am happy to throw out some recommendations. how about we agree on a date, say mid-september, and then we can decide on a place.
anyone going to the wiscon event ? that's supposed to be end of September in Vegas, and arranged by gerardo here on the forum. haven't seen any threads about it yet and he's been slow with the details via email. |

As long as this thing is happening sometime after our move to the area in mid-October (and it's on a weekend), I'll make the drive up from Monterey.

I’m stoked that this is gathering steam! We LOVE the “swap-meet” concept, as I also am about to list things for the first time. (Tuxedo DJ, Batman, NIB Skydweller). My wife (Shetona) had a few awesome ideas. Consider a place that may have some security, such as, at a local store? I have some connections at Tourneau or Shreve, and might be able to talk them into allowing an after-hours event. (We could each chip in $20, and pay the security guard to remain at the door, allowing entrance only to people who say the “TRF“ password!) We can walk up the street afterwards for dinner, if desired. To play this right, let’s give ourselves enough time. How does October 9th, 23rd, or 30th sound? In the meanwhile, I’ll contact the stores and check out their interest. (allowing “swap-talk” may have both pros and cons, right?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else good with October 23rd, in SF? If we have 10 or more of us, we know the kind of venue to look at. (Otherwise, if there’s 4-6 of us, then let’s just meet at a steakhouse, and have funny the table!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK… It’s getting to be time to send a real e-mail around! Looks like this could actually be made to happen. But we’re going to need a better way to communicate than: “I’m interested!“ messages with no identification or contact information. If you’d be willing to put your e-mail in this thread (or private message me if you wish), I will send out some information as a group e-mail, and will include everyone as “blind copy”, if that matters to anybody. (Please let me know how important the privacy is to you, so I can respect that.) As I wrote above, the size of the group will dictate the venue and the plan. And, please write me if you have ideas or suggestions! I’d love it to be in a place where I can wear something special, and bring 2-3 more pieces to share. This could be really fun!

Thread subbed! Can't commit quite yet due to travel but definitely interested as I work in the City.

Will this GTG be within San Francisco city limits?
I might make the drive all the way from Sacramento but lately I've had a phobia of parking my car anywhere in the City right now due to an extremely high car break in rate that's been going on this year. If the event was being held in say Walnut Creek or Pleasanton instead, I think I would be more likely to go..
