hey im wondering if anyone on here is from the surrounding seattle area and would like to meet up? im real close to vince perry, i know him and i would love to play skate and hangout with other fingerboarder people

I'm right across the border in White Rock. Like, 2-3 hours from Seattle. You should try to come up next weekend for my meet up!

i live really close to seattle

vp!!!

whoop we need to have a nw meetup!

Bumpin' this shit.

I live in the heart of Seattle in Pioneer Square. I guess VP is in the hood too. Is there still any interest in a Seattle-area event?

I live in Nanaimo. Which is only about 3-4 hours away from Seattle!

me and vp just built a pretty fun concrete plaza at my house in lake stevens. i have a huge yard and could probably organize a meetup if there was enough interest!!

I'd be down! I got a park i an bring too

I would definitely attend.

I could also host an event. I have an apartment in Pioneer Square and could reserve one of the spaces on the roof. Only issue would be parking. My parents' also have a place in Bellevue that would also be perfect for hosting an event as well. People could skate the backyard, grill, fingerboard etc.. It's a really good location as well (just off of both I-90 and I-405). Maybe we plan a few events over the summer?

Let's do it.

Want to do the first event at your place? 3 acres sounds rad! I have tons of ramps that I can bring. Also down to bring some brewskis (for those 21 or older of course).

After your event, I will book the roof and make sure it isn't the same time as a Sounders or Mariners game. Parking gets a little expensive and hard to find! My parents' place would be a great alternative as well. There would be 0 issues with parking + people would be able to skate in my backyard.

It should be a weekend thing. Split the weekend one day at each venue. Just pack up the parks Saturday night and drive 'em over to the second venue. Maybe do that twice over the whole summer.

i agree abt the weekend thing makes sense for people travelling. that way maximum people can attend maximum events lol. we should decide on a date, and then chris you can book the roof for the second day? or bellevue, which sounds tight, whatever works best for you and your fam. if we set a date we can advertise and try to get things rolling. i have a few things to do to ready the park here, it needs to be more mobile/stable. a layer of concrete sealer couldnt hurt either. how does the first two days of august sound? aug 1st-2nd. is that too far away? idk abt the date nobody said anything so im just throwing it out there.

I may be moving out of my apartment around that time so let's just plan on having the event at your place for now. I can definitely attend on August 1st, but the 2nd is my brother's b'day.

ok so just one day at my place? how should i advertise it? i want lots of ppl here!

We can come up with a plan. I'm down to make a simple event webpage. I know someone that is interested in flying over Once that is made we can share it via YouTube, Facebook and Instagram!

We can start nailing down some details in this thread. Once we finalize the details, we can make a new thread.

Event Name: ???
Tentative Date: August 1st
Location: Grilled Cheese Sandwich's estate in Snohomish
Food: I'd be happy to provide food for everyone. Whether it's pizzas/sandwiches(grilled cheese?)/etc.
Sponsors: Don't think we need a sponsor but I'm sure I can get some goodies to give away

We should still try to pull a few sponsors. maybe call it "Cheesy Fingers 1"? haha.

Alright, just found out from Mike Schneider that the Rendezvous is on August 1st. He wants to come to our event, if possible. Maybe we do two weeks later (August 15th??)

If we do have sponsors I'd personally like to limit it to a handful of companies. Just my opinion though!

I'd be down on the 15th. that's a sunday right?

im down with that! whatever works best for everybody. if mike wants to come, thats friggin rad! im working in the yard this weekend, and will get to the park on sunday. i will take pics of the park and the property then and post them here, that way you guys know what it looks like and we can go from there.

your lists looked good, heres what i can add:

Event name: Cheesy fingers is cheesy and good haha
Location: my house in Lake Stevens, Wa. camping and sleeping arrangements are possible if people want to post up in my yard and chill. we have a lot of space.
Food: we have a grill outside that i love to bbq on, i would also enjoy making grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone seeing as how its my username lol. also there is a firepit and smores and hotdogs are easy.
Sponsors: i say whoever wants to sponsor can and should. more swag=more people=more fun
Events: i think we should do a few events or whatever, just for fun but i think competition breeds progression. maybe a best trick, or a contest of sorts. maybe under 21 and over 21? idk
is august 15th too soon? id like to give people enough notice to get ready and prepared early.
Parking: This could be a slight issue, but we have a huge driveway. depending on the turnout, we can fill my lil 'parking lot' i have and then fill the driveway down but everyone will be locked in. we could shuttle to and from to the nearby park? idk. just trying to think of any and all aspects of what we need.

i live in vic bc ))

Looks good to me!! I think August 15th is a good amount of time (47 days). Those that are still in school will be on summer break, while those of us who work 9-5's have the weekend

Next step would be to create it's own thread that we can link back to when we promote the event. We can make one in this forum as well as a Facebook event page. That would help give us an idea for how many people will show.
