USA San Francisco 2025 Sunday Feb 1st

Sure. that works for me.

 

I guess I'll see everyone hopefully in November then!!!

 

Please count me in for the September meet! I finally have some free time.
I don't quite know which doll to bring yet, but my fallback will be SD16 Diamond

 

I haven't decided who I'll bring either. lol I know who I'm tempted to bring tho. If anyone has requests, please let me know.

 

I can make it!

 

I'm planning on coming!

 

Oh, sorry! For some reason I didn't get any updates to this thread and nothing was happening last I checked.
M and I can spoop on over, for sure!

 

Yes, I should be able to make it this time!

 

@idrisfynn I'll be out of town starting Friday

 

I’m hoping to be there!

 

Ohhh I would love to! I have a couple Halloween themed dolls!

 

I'm thinking about it, but I'm nervous :/ Never done a meetup like this before

 

I will come and stand awkwardly

 

Hello! A Halloween meet is a perfect time for me to come out of my lurker shell, so that's a yes for me!

I recently started some restoration work on a newly acquired Volks F-12 Miisha, so I'll bring her if I can get most of it done before the meet. If not, then I'll bring a vintage Knickerbocker rubber-faced, plush doll.

 

I think ill be able to join!! and hope its not too late to say that im coming!! >v<
I will be bringing my Volks DD 9S

actually second thought i think ill bring freedom teller everett boy instead of 9S lol

 

Thanks, this is really reassuring
I don't think I'll be able to arrange transportation for this time, but maybe soon I will join

 

Hehe
I will try to get there on time ♥️

 

@MacaronTea Unfortunately I've come down with something and will have to sit this meet out to be safe but I hope I can make it to a future meet!

 

if anyone needs foam packing sheets (like to wrap face ups) or thickers ones (1/4 inch) or bubble wrap. Let me kow. I'm trying to get rid of packing materials.

 

I'm running late today, but I'll still be there!

 

I am running about 15 mins late. There is both an accident and traffic on the way

 

We're just leaving the house now, so we'll be there around 1:15 with bus luck

 

Adding myself to the “going to be late” gang

 

The lights on the counter are out. we might want to scoot upstairs.

 

I am crawling on Embarcadero. Traffic….

 

Hey all, as promised, I got a discord server put together for the group. Please feel free to join and invite other bay area doll people to it.

Are we still meeting in November?

 

17th works for me!

 

17 is good for me, too!

 

Yay! See you on the 17th! Maybe it will finally feel like fall.

 

I am hoping to join on the 17th!

 

I should be able to come too!

 

As Luke Skywalker once said, "I'm with you, too!"

 

I should be able to join too!

 

I'm almost entirely sure I'll be able to make it to this meet - I'll be at the Fluevog swap meet in the morning!

 

Same as Chobi, good chance I'll be able to make it (and also planning on going for Vogs)

 

I'll be there on the 17th!!!

 

Hi everyone, I'm going to join for the first time this weekend! I look forward to meeting you

 

A few of us will be bringing our Dream of Dolls, if anyone else into them wants to vibe n match!!

 

I am on my way but might be a few minutes late!

 

Bummed to miss this one! Is there another one planned for 2025?

 

I was just going to ask how January was looking. 3rd Sunday, the 19th?

 

what about meeting indoors like at a coffee shop or tea shop? or a free sunday date at a museum?

 

For me, I'm open to changing locations as long as the new location is also close to a BART station, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it! But of course if it works for the majority of the group I can always wait until the next available meetup!

 

Super insightful and also really disappointing that security tends to move in and kick us out although a group of a dozen doll collectors bringing one or two dolls could look strange to the general public... I wonder if it's mostly because of the group size rather than the dolls?

In any case, I'm open to anything! Depending on the weather and if any of my dolls return or come in, I'll bring whoever I can to the meetup!

 

Yeah, it’s been a very long time since I organized a whole-ass meet inside a place. It’s a whole thing and would require planning to start about now for the next meet to really kick off. As Idrisfynn said, it really cuts down on accessibility to the meet to host one like that. I may still do so in the future as I have some places near me that would potentially be amenable, but it would absolutely cost money up front.

that said, maybe it’s also time to scout around embarcadero center for an “enclosed” space that has more light since our counter lights got turned off (understandably) in our original meet up spot. I know there used to be a whole larp game that would meet up in one of the other buildings, but I’m not sure about the lighting/setting up space looks.

 

Are we going to try for meeting on the 19th, or some other day?

 

I’m planning for the 19th! It’ll be cool, but we’re experiencing a dry winter, so rain isn’t expected.
