the OFFICIAL socal giddy-up thread 3/24/07

[socalsean]

My birthday is March 21 and my roomate is being discharged (honerably of course) from the US Marines on the 23rd.

Why should you care? Ask any turbobricks member who attended my 2005 X-Mas party....this party will supercede the previous.

Can you say, "Inflatable Castle" in the front yard with "Themed Female Servers" supplying the beverages and food?

Hopefully a sound system will be provided :oogle:

Got sounds confirmed from my housemate. Donations are appreciated as it's a big rig. He's looking to get $100 for it, and I'm down to pitch in on it.

[Coupe' de Grace]

Cool! I don't have to schlep gear!!

[socalsean]

Cool! I don't have to schlep gear!!

dammit! Now we gotta pay for it!

Hmmm...honestly I really don't want to have to pay for a PA system. I appreciate the offer but let me think about it for a few days.

I'm all about spinning some records! What do you have...and what would you need to make it possible?

[Coupe' de Grace]

I have all of the front end stuff needed, Rane, 12's, etc...

I'm interested to see what kind of a 'big rig' comes for $100. Schnnnnaarrrf!

Sean, I got a coffin with the turntables and a basic mixer. I just need the PA to plug into. And if you guys want CDs, it's be cool to have a CD player. If not, I'll just hook the laptop up and use that.

Honestly, when me and Scott talked awhile back it sounded like he had all of the equipment. I just don't know if he's bringing it!

You got Technics 1200s Scott? If not, I'll bring my coffin with the 1200s.
What exactly are you planning on bringing out?

[Alex Buchka]

Bumpity bump. Sean, what is the status of the party plans? Should I be bringing anything?

4 18" Subwoofers, 4 15" woofers and some 2" drivers mounted on some horns. We've got a 14,000 square foot warehouse and it is pretty bumping for that space. Depending on who is around; there may be a Turbosound rig brought instead. If you have the head unit, then we can really make this happen. A couple of my friends may come through who play dance music.

[socalsean]

Bumpity bump. Sean, what is the status of the party plans? Should I be bringing anything?

Sup Alex!

I'll be putting a post together later today asking people to bring various things to BBQ/eat. Let me know what you feel like bringing.

It appears that Coupe de grace is not going to be able to make it and that means he won't be bringing his "no charge" sound system.

The coffin set up with a few turn tables sounds awesome. I don't need someone spinning all day/night, but it would be cool to have some records playing, especially during the croquet tournament.

If someone wants to bring some small cabinets with like 15"s and a small amp that would be key. We don't need the cops coming by like last time (twice :omg: ).

Only problem is I don't have CD players. And whadaya know, most people use CDs these days.

what about a few laptops or Ipods? We have those.

[PetesDustyVolvo]

I do know someone w/ some 15" cabinets but he would never bring them down =/

looking forward to it tho

[socalsean]

Ok folks here's the deal.....

The BBQ party will begin around 12pm-1pm. I need RSVPs (guests included) and I'm asking everyone to bring some food to share. We have a grille and a large kitchen to prepare dishes. I am also asking everyone of age to bring at least a 6 pack of beer. This is very important!

The days activities will include a croquet tournament so be sure you bring a fruity sweater to tie around your neck while you play (I'm serious....go to Good Will). Beer-pong/ping-pong will be in full swing as well as Guitar Hero (we have two guitars) and a full assortment of Wii games (we have 4 controllers).

There will be either an inflatable "jump castle" or a boxing ring with sumo suits and boxing gloves.

If there are enough Volvos we can go for an afternoon cruise BEFORE anyone starts drinking. We'll play this by ear. If not, then we can just bench race in the garage as it seems like everyone on here is a pro bench racer.

After the sun goes down the real fun starts. We hired two security guards to man the front gate to keep any young annoying kids out of our house. We live real close to a college and a few highschools. The kegs will be tapped at this time and two cocktail waitresses will be serving beer for everyones enjoyment. I hope that the turn tables will be spinning and if not we'll figure something else out.

This is a combo party....my birthday, my room mates getting out of the marines, and a house warming party for our new female roomate (single by the way).

[Alex Buchka]

Sean, this sounds like a party for the ages. It should be a ton of fun.

I will be bringing myself, my twin brother Karl, and possible one more person (to be determined in the next couple of days). I will let you know the final count asap. I'll bring beer and some food.

I'll be there plus a six-pack of Newcastle. I'm not sure what I'll do for food, I'll probably grab a few bags of chips or something. If you'd rather I actually made something tell me and I'll try and get an idea together.

If somebody can assure me they're bringing a PA (amplifier and speakers at least), I'll bring my turntables, mixer, and all my trance/house records. If you want to bring other records, bring them. I'll also bring my a pigtail to hook up a CD player (probably use my laptop) or anybody's iPod.

As long as it's ok with Sean, anybody may bring their records, CDs, and iPod to be played or plugged. I do not give a rats ass, but don't bitch if I'm the only one who brings records and all we have on vinyl is trance music that isn't manly enough for you guys. DO NOT ASK FOR SANDSTORM. :rofl:

Sean, if it's ok with you I might bring somebody along to help me lug my gear down there. (Unless James-Alphanumeric wouldn't mind helping me load it before he headed down) Or I might not.

[ZVOLV]

I'll be there. Sean's is always a good time!

Also, I am bringing some Volvo goodies to sell for cheap. 700/900 IPD sways, 3 16v heads, V90 tailights, 700 cowl scoop, maybe my 740 Volvo Body Kit, B234 block rebuilt with b230ft pistons and 16v valve cuts, and some other small stuff like B234 alternators PS pumps etc. I'll make a thread in FS with prices, pics, etc.

[posiden77]

bummer, ill be on my way to jamaica. Maybe next time.....my 780 needs to be unleashed

[ThePOWERtoRULE]

If nobody calls or PMs me with this assurance in the next 24 hours or so, it's not going to happen.

Sorry guys, but I'm not going to lug all my crap down there just "hoping" that somebody will have the other half. :e-shrug:

Stoked as ****ing hell this is coming up tho. :-D


Edit: Sean, if you want me to bring it down anyway to hook up to your stereo or home theater or whatever I'll try. My 960 is actually out of commission at the moment and I have NO IDEA how I can fit this in the 242. But let me know, and I know I can make something work.

[socalsean]

afxdave is bringing a system. don't know how big it is but I don't need anything crazy!

[ThePOWERtoRULE]

not sure if this is to late but I never saw this thread, I have 2 speakers that might be worthy of a party along with a decent receiver.

You should do it. My sound guy probably won't be around today and I'm tied up til later. I can bring some records though.

[L8 APEKS]

Bounce house FTW! Sean, you need to patent the bottle opening sandal...ingenious! :-D

Sorry we couldn't stay longer, but you're so friggin close...let's get some more events goin'!

[Karl Buchka]

I just uploaded a **** ton of pictures from yesterday. Figured I'd register and let you guys know about it.

http://picasaweb.google.com/kbuchka/SoCalTBricksMeet

I just want to thank Sean for ogranizing a sweet get together. The tbrickers I met were marginally insane but cool nonetheless. Also, as an aside I want to mention that Nick's BMW was ****ing gnarly. I talked to Alex about it on the way home and a similar build is now definitely on my to-do list.

-Karl "Alex #2" Buchka

[shaved240]

I still can't believe how great those pictures came out!

Thanks to Sean for hosting ANOTHER great party and to Karl for slaving over that camera night and day. Met a few new tbrickers, kicked everyones ass in croakay, drank a bunch of beers, ate some burgers, got my 16v head. All in all great party....and nick's BMW does haul some balls. Alex "Swedish fish" Buchka told me I needed to slow down driving up harbor going a wee bit to fast

I see you've registered. Good call.

Nice meeting all you guys, it was fun as hell. I wish I could've been there earlier.

Next time I come over remind me to knock instead of ringing the ****ing door bell.

[ThePOWERtoRULE]

I kicked everyones ass in croakay

Bull****!!!

[shaved240]

Bull****!!!

[ThePOWERtoRULE]

haha last place both times boi!

I bet it's just cause you're too cool for croquet.

[shaved240]

I really did get first place in croakay, but last place in croquet lol

[Alex Buchka]

nick's BMW does haul some balls. Alex "Swedish fish" Buchka told me I needed to slow down driving up harbor going a wee bit to fast


yeah I don't like being arrested for going 70 down a crowded 45mph blvd :-P

Thanks to Sean and all the other people for once again putting together a bitchin' party. It's nice to put some faces to the names. Next time we will one up the SE "crew" and show them how we do it on the best coast.

We could have done without all the meat head marines at the house, but what can you do.. Us t-brickers, in true volvospeed fashion, formed little clique'y circles and kept to ourselves.

Hell yeah. I want a group-shot pic of like 20 SoCal TBrickers throwing up gang signs. Preferably in front of a SoCal landmark.

[socalsean]

Great party 'eh?

Thanks to everyone who pitched in when I attempted to start my car for the first time. Don't worry....I'll work out the electrical gremlins today!

And my room mate apologized for her super bitch outburst. For anyone who witnessed it I'm sorry about the drama. Drunk girls on mythical power trips are lame!

yea she was abusing her super bitch powers that night. That was classic when she was apologizing to nick with her intentions for him to just take it; yet he reversed the whole conversation around on her.

I dunno man, it was pretty ****in hilarious IMO. I'm glad I caught it. Damn shame it was a major buzz kill for everybody and **** got all aggro and ****.
