    Default [UPDATE: New Venue, Beverly Center] South Coast Plaza (So Cal) This Sunday Anyone?

    Is there any interest for a meet-up this Sunday at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California?

    Something like:

    Starbucks at 10:30am.
    Paradise Pen at 11:00am.
    Montblanc Boutique at Noon.
    The Poor House at 1.

    ?

    =) Eric

    I could possibly be talked into this, even if it does mean crossing the dreaded Orange Curtain.

    I hear ya. That's why I suggested Sunday, when the curtain is pulled back ever so slightly.

    Did I mention free FPGeeks buttons?



    I've got a dozen. First come, first served.

    If you already have a button, wear it to the party and I'll buy your first cup o' joe.

    Wooo nice buttons. Is there a BayStateBlue version ?
    That would almost make it worth the airfare.
    And we've mostly eradicated Starbucks from our country although there are still a few stubborn shops, sorry stores left.

    You know full well I already have a button. Hmm...free cup of coffee. This is becoming more and more tempting...

    Coffee tastes all the better when it's free. Can I still get another button too?

    If you need/want another button, of course you can have another.

    I'd expect you to wear one, though =)

    Ok, game on!

    A group (thus far, two) of us will meet tomorrow, Sunday, May 27, 2012, at High Noon at the Starbucks inside the Beverly Center, Los Angeles, California.

    If you're anywhere in the neighborhood, stop by. Once we meet, we'll begin the search for the Montblanc Boutique. They're expecting us so if we get lost, they'll send a search party.

    Once we've ravaged the boutique, we'll find a large table at a welcoming restaurant and play Pen Show & Tell.

    Don't forget, I've got free FPGeeks buttons.

    Oh, and did I mention? There's an Apple Store. A big one!

    =) Eric

    PS If you want my cell phone number, drop me an email: eric /at/ fpgeeks dot com

    Have so much fun! Wish I still lived out there in that area. Do share your gathering and pen loot with those of us who will live vicariously. :-) I would be tempted to take a big breath and by the Princess Grace.
