Panzer_Meyer Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 I followed the thread about the DC meeting and saw the picture on Combat-missions. I would really like to go to one of these "meetings" and talk to fellow CM players. Seems like fun and people here have comon interests. So I though why not a meeting for CM players here in the Bay area (california). I know there has to be quite a few CM plaers here in the Bay Area. So why not a Bay Area CM meeting of sorts, would be fun. I for one would go no matter where in the bay area it is. Altough I woulnd't be able to drink since I am not 21, but bah, don't matter. So I am just wondering if anyone would be willing for a meeting here in the Bay area. I know this place is huge and a few people would have to commute, but who doesn't commute here in the bay? We all do. So how about it, who would like to go and be able to attend? I myself would go. Regards, Philip p.s If people do decide to have this meeting, don't make me choose where. I don't know any good meeting places or bars or what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidst_Void Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 Welllll, OOOOO and AHHHH and what-not, how FANCY, and also how SHMANCY, a big time meeting for all the big time, high-class, CM'ers like yourself, well aren't you so special making a meeting. Well I'm sorry I cannot come to this BIG TIME meeting of yours (that you have created), I'm sorry I cannot afford even shoes to come to this meeting which would be a first step to presenting myself properly. Snipped the Latino bit. [ 09-30-2001: Message edited by: Amidst_Void ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treeburst155 Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 I like what Lawyer did too, Rommel. You, living in population center, probably do have many CM fans within an hours drive of you. Perhaps one of them will catch on to Lawyer's idea. The free beer is the real attractant, I think. Maybe one of the older CMers in your area will throw something together. Unfortunately, you would not be able to attend if it was in a bar. Being young is tough sometimes, eh? Who lives between Dallas, Memphis, New Orleans, and Springfield, Mo.? We could have a CM convention in Little Rock. So what, you might have to drive 6 hours. That's what we get for living in the stix. I'll buy a few rounds. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanonier Reichmann Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 Bloody hell! I thought that prohibition had been repealed. Not being able to drink in a publis place until 21 is a bit harsh. Live in Australia. Here you get to drink publically once you turn 18 and can legally drive a car on the roads at 16. Mind you, don't ask about the road toll per head of population... the above two situations usually don't mix. Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Meyer Posted September 30, 2001 Author Share Posted September 30, 2001 Hi, Seems like a few people are interested. I live near Hayward (Castro Valley). Let's wait and see if more people respond. I know there are way more people here in the bay area who play CM. So c'mon you people, lets have a meeting! Anyone have any suggestions as to where to meet? I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fieldmarshall Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I live about three or four hours from San Francisco (Bay Area) I live in LA County..unless for some reason you think the Bay Area is LA. I might go...maybe...depending on when and where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted October 1, 2001 Author Share Posted October 1, 2001 Cool, more and more people are interested. If we do meet we need a meeting place. Anyone have any suggestions where to meet?

gredeker Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I'm up in Chico (3 hours from SF), but it would be a hard sell to the wife unless we're already down there for another reason. If we had the meeting up here, I'd suggest the Sierra Nevada taproom - you can still get in if you're not 21, the beer batter onion rings are great, and they have lots of Sierra Nevada varieties on tap, including some specialty brews that somehow never get bottled.

Jack Trap Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I guess the point to all this is that Rommel22 needs a fake ID. Seriously though, beer is needed, as is a close Bart station! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Meyer Posted October 1, 2001 Author Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hi, Fake ID ey? How about I'll buy everyone a glass of beer. Hope this draws some people to go to this meeting. How about a bar where you have to be 18 to go. And they serve alcohol. That way I can go and people still can get beer or what not. How about it? Anyone know any bars where 18 year olds are allowed plus they serve alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopaka Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Checking in from Redwood City. I'm up for it. One suggestion for a place because it's big, allows Rommell's type, has pool tables, mixes in my other hobby - about a million TV's playing sports and (usually) only sports, and has a full bar and a solid variety of beer on tap is Scores Legendary (their words, not mine) Sports bar in Foster City (at hwys 92 and 101). Oh and I'm good for buying a round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted October 2, 2001 Author Share Posted October 2, 2001 Lopaka, thanx for the suggestion. The sports bar sounds interesting. Good thing they allow 18 year olds in there. Plus Foster city aint that far from where I live. Anyone alse have any other suggestions as where to meet. If not, the sports bar will be the meeting place. We'll all have to find the directiona s how to get there. Anyway, anyone alse interested? So far we got 8 people interested. One is far away so might be seven. C'mon people I know there are more of you out there. Also lets start thinking of possible dates as when to have the meeting. I can pretty much go any date any time. Since I have nothing really important gooing, yet. And I can skip school or call sick to work. Any date is good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 May want to consider "Barclays" in Oakland. Right down on College Ave. Within 5 minutes of Rockridge BART. Nice place, 25+ beers on tap, good food, happy to accomodate all ages as are all brewpubs in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Monkey Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Hrmm, if I still lived in the Bay Area, I'd suggest Heinhold's First and Last in Oakland, which has the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating bar in California, being built out of the timbers of a beached whaling ship sometime at the end of the last century. It's walls and ceilings are littered with the detritous of the last hundred years of American history, including not a few things of interest to Combat Mission afficionados. But then, I'm not impartial But, really, any history buffs in the Bay Area rally ought to do themselves a favor and check this place out sometime. Having been to many (many) bars in the area, this one is still my favorite. It's located in (the otherwise tourist-y) Jack London Square of Oakland. All IMHO [ 10-02-2001: Message edited by: Sock Monkey ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Trap Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 To add my two pesos, I think that a place in San Francisco may be the best location. I may have a place in mind if no one else does. I'm over in Oakland myself, so if there's a bigger move to having it east bay, I'm cool w/ dat' too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted October 2, 2001 Author Share Posted October 2, 2001 A meeting place in SF seems like the best thing. Since everyone knows how to get to San Fran. But where in San Farn. is another thing. Plus it's real far for some. But remeber it has to be a place where they allow 18 years olds. So I can show up! So any places in SF or does the bar in Foster city seem ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
