Seven Deadly Sins:
Bay Area Touhou Gatherings

This is the general thread for the gatherings that are held regularly in the California Bay Area, specifically the San Francisco-San Jose area. We hold these gatherings about every two months, and we encourage as many new people to show up every time.

If you’re a fan of Touhou and you live in or near the California Bay Area, this is the place for you. See, in the summer of 2010, a couple of us back on Pooshlmer had the awesome idea of getting everyone in the Bay Area together for a great big potluck party in San Jose. The event was a hit, and since then, we’ve been arranging gatherings in the Bay on a regular basis.

Every 2 months or so, we pick a spot, usually in the San Jose area, where we meet up at an open, easy to find location and hang out for a while. Most of the time, we do it potluck-style, where everyone brings a dish of some sort so we all get fed. After that, it’s a trip to Cupertino’s Gamba Karaoke, a traditional Japanese-style Karaoke joint with a huge selection of Touhou music, as well as assorted anime themes and plenty of non-Japanese music for those not gifted with a firm grasp of the Japanese language. After that, it’s off to dinner, usually to Ringer Hut, an awesome little Japanese restaurant in the area. You can attend any or all of the day’s festivities, though the full experience is getting it all in. We love to see new faces, and we’re shooting for as many attendees as possible.

You can find more information on our tumblr - http://bayhou.tumblr.com/ - we update it whenever there's more information, so if you're following it you can get any info about the latest stuff. If you're in the area, you should show up, even if you can't show for the entire thing.

CURRENT PLANS

The next gathering is scheduled for the 17th of December. You can read in more detail here:

Basically, we'll be starting the day around noon at Omogari Korean Restaurant, which is located at 154 Jackson Street, San Jose, CA (4th Street & Jackson). After that, it's a day downtown, followed by the standard Gamba -> Ringer Hut evening plans. We've also got some plans to extend the festivities later into the night at the Gamecenter in San Mateo, so hopefully people can stick around for that (and maybe more, if we can keep things rolling).

Arcengal:
Aw, and I just got back from vacation in CA too...

Seven Deadly Sins:
Sorry to hear that, but we hold them about every 2 months, so hopefully we'll have one while you're in town.

Luna Scarlet:
ouch, got to travel half way around the world to get there...
LOL

AJS:
That sounds frickin' awesome....I'd love to go, but San Jose is a bit out of my reach.  I live in SoCal, near the LA area (but not during the school year, when I'm at my college alllllllll the way on the East Coast).
*cough* Somebody please set up a gathering in that area, pleeeeeease! *cough*
