USA San Francisco 2025 Sunday Feb 1st

Sounds good to me!

 

Works for me!

 

I can definitely make that!!

 

Also Happy New Year, everyone!!

 

21st works for me!

 

Sunday Jan 21st should work for me!

 

I'm a maybe! I'm aiming to be back in the bay area for the meet, but there's a chance I'll get snowed in up in the mountains.

 

Too sad it’s in SF not in LA too long drive & I have to work that Sunday for inventory

 

Awesome, I'll be there too! Here's what I'll be bringing in hopes someone will want all of it. Everything's from a smoke/pet-free home and well taken care of.

Giveaways

Looking forward to seeing everyone's dolls!

 

I'm an extremely tentative maybe. Probably not. But the surgery got pushed to February so who knows what might happen!

 

I'll def be there. Just trying to decide which dolls to bring lol. If anyone has any requests from my profile, please let me know. :3

 

Wow! Finally, something in my area! I will try to attend

 

Thanks for the detailed description! I haven't been to a doll event since Dolpa LA in 2017—looking forward to seeing everyone's dolls and hoping someone will find a good home for the things I'm bringing. See you all Sunday!

 

I'm still a tentative yes as long as the weather behaves! I'm thinking of bringing my Andre.

 

Yay! A good crowd this time! I will definitely be bringing my Volks F-72 because it's her turn for some shots on the spiral and maybe my Dollstown Elysia if I feel up to hauling two.

 

I also invited a couple of friends but they are maybes lol

 

oh, i should be able attend! i haven't done anything doll-related in....a while, but i should be able dig things up and make my darlings presentable

 

I will try my best to 3d print some free things for giving out! What sizes would be best for folks here? 1/3?1/4?

 

Not helpful, but... yes. I have a goodly amount of both sizes.

 

That's so thoughtful! I don't need anything, so feel free to exclude me from your count. In fact, a big reason why I'm going to the meet (other than seeing everyone's dolls) is in hopes that people will take some things off my hands!

 

I would LOVE to take that little Shigekuma plush I saw in one of your packs off your hands, if you'd be willing to split the set! (Unfortunately I'm also mostly trying to get rid of things too and would rather the other items go to someone who will use them.)
I have the Setsu plush, but I never go to go to any Volks events where Shigekuma was a gift T_T

Also I think you can move me to confirmed, @MacaronTea. Heading back to the bay area tomorrow. Now I'm just debating bringing my Ludo vs. my Andre for now.

 

@Astro I vote cursed Ludo!

 

@St. James I’m terrified of taking him anywhere because every Ludo is some degree of cursed, but mine seems ultra cursed. Maybe I can take him somewhere to get blessed and/or exorcised if I let him leave the house

 

Unfortunately, I'd rather keep the whole thing together, but I imagine if someone grabs everything you could ask them if you could get the bear?

 

@positivespace Hopefully someone is willing to split it with me

 

@Astro Then I change my vote to Blessed Andre!

@MacaronTea You can add M to the list, you know she'll be with me.

 

The rest of that stuff looks like something I could use, and you're welcome to the bear because I've got several already!
I could use the MSD stand too.

 

@St. James Plot twist, I'm bringing them both! And that would be lovely, thank you so much!!

 

@MacaronTea I don't think mojodollz(IG) is on DoA, but I told her about the meet and she said she'll probably be coming, too!

 

Hi all! Due to the rainy weather, my health has been on and off plus I'm a bit way of bringing my dolls out in the rain... I'll sit this one out and hope for a healthier and sunnier February meetup!

 

Hello all! I'll be coming depending on how rainy it is Time to decide who to bring!

 

Since health stuff has been a bit frustrating, I won't be able to make it to this one Please take tons of pictures!!! I miss seeing everyone and their dolls

 

Yooo I kept forgetting to comment! I'm coming too!

 

I’m by the spiral flower fountain. I’ve never been to a meet here so I’m not sure if this is the right place.

 

I slept in so sorry that I missed im very dissapointed!

 

Thank you so much for organizing! It was nice getting to see everyone and their dolls.

 

It was great meeting you and thank you for organizing! Really cool to see so many people and their lovely dolls.

 

*gasps* Bummer! Despite that I subscribed to this thread and ensured that I get updates in my e-mail, I never received any notifications, and totally missed this gathering. I'll have to go back and check the settings again so that I don't miss anything.

I see that another meeting is scheduled for March. I will be away at a business conference on the first weekend of that month in SoCal, otherwise, I'll keep my calendar open March.

 

I will try my best to join for next time!

 

Hi I’m new to the area and I don’t go on DOA often but I’m really interested in joining! I may be confused is this for march? Seems like people are saying it already happened Do y’all have a discord or Facebook page? Sorry for all the questions haha

 

Yes, it's for March! The thread gets updated for the next meet after every meet!

 

Welcome! Do you live in the city?

The January meetup happened, and the thread title gets update after the meetup happens and the next one is still in planning stages so people know it's upcoming, but I was wondering why it's March as well, are we skipping Feb? I wouldn't be able to make February but I might be able to make March!

 

RE: I can imagine the factors behind not having a meeting in February. The weather has been absolutely unpredictable this month, and in some parts of the Bay Area, we've been hit with mudslides, and trees falling over on roads, freeways, homes, and powerlines, due to the heavy rainfall and winds resulting in some of us being out of power. Also, it's a little hard to find an indoor venue that will accept a group like ours (though I can't imagine why; we don't bite... much), or is reasonably priced for all of us to chip in for the expenses for the place itself or the food; there's a lot of organization and planning behind making sure all the expenses are covered before attending. It can also be because the organizer wants a break in between the two months so they have plenty of time before planning the next gathering. Don't get me wrong; we love getting together, but at the same time, some of us work full time (and not necessarily on the weekdays) or we have families that we need to keep in mind as well.

Hope this gives you a little insight into why there is a break in between the two months.

 

Oh, I'm well aware. I also work full time and have to ask a month in advance if I want specific days off. But yeah the weather has been brutal lately, I had to call a coworker to come rescue me the other day because all our streets were flooded lol. I was just curious and wanted to make sure I didn't miss something.

 

Thank you for explaining! I’m moving in February so excited to find doll people in the area!

 

Thank you!! I’m actually moving in a couple weeks so I’m really happy to find a bjd meetup!!

 

Are we looking at a 4th Sunday (24th) meet again this month?

 

Not sure how we typically decide since it’s my first meet but the 24th is good for me!
Side note if anyone lives in Oakland and wants to ride the Bart together from 12th st. Let me know!

 

17th is a bit too close for me to make it back, but I might be able to make the 31st!

 

I concur with March 31st. That's more than enough time to plan for a doll gathering.
