TCK Meetup in Los Angeles LA
Edit on June 17, 2008: Meeting on June 18, cancelled.
_____________________________________________
Hi All!
I live near Los Angeles, California, and I am wondering if any of you guys are interested in meeting up in LA (Perhaps for the first time? I don’t know if this has been done before).
Please reply with your:
1. Age
2. Current school year/or write if you’re working
3. City you live in
4. Time frame of when you would like to meet up.
5. Also, would there be a specific topic that you would like to discuss during the meeting?I think this would be awesome so we can just talk about the life of being a TCK.
I’ll start with myself:
1. 23
2. Graduated uni in 2006
3. San Bernardino
4. I am doing a few projects here and there so my time is very flexible.
5. I would love to just meet everyone and hear everyone’s story about their experience living overseas, and/or if LA is where you’re placed from another country.

Today I just found out what a TCK is and that I am one. Im very happy I found a site with similar people. I didnt know there was anything like this. I definitly think this is a good idea, and to a certain degree, a relief.
So when do we meet everyone? Let’s make it happen!
1.34
2.Working
3.Los Angeles westside.
4.Anytime as long as a gig doesnt come up
5.Topics about the good and bad and being a tck

What’s up!?
I am on the Westside as well.
It appears you, Starzine & I can hook up at during the weekdays.
You two can hook up with Gwen at another date/time.
I would love to somehow make this work where all of us can be in one place at one time.
My email address is msmerising@yahoo.com if folks on the westside want to meet for lunch this week.
Peace

Hi Guys!
Gwen, you said that you’ll be freer around this month and after. Does that mean you can, on one of the wednesdays, meet up before 5:30p.m.? This is so we can try to fix in some meeting time with MsMerising.
However, it seems that right now, it’s not possible for all to meet up at one time. My proposal:
1. After reading through everyone’s posts, it seems that Gwen, Rose, zam and my schedule can work out on Wednesday evenings. So, why don’t we plan for the 21st of May, around 7:00p.m. in Pasadena (since it’s more of a common ground for the majority)?
Then, next month, or the month after (in July), we meet at an earlier time in another location.
or
2. We meet further towards LA (same date, the 21st of May, but for lunch around 11:00a.m)
Then, same thing, next month, June or in July, we meet in Pasadena at a later time.
***
Please let me know a) which number choice do you guys prefer, b) is the date ok for you guys (I set it at a later date, so it’s not too sudden for everyone and people can plan for it) and c) if you guys want to make this a regular deal for the benefit of everyone else and those that haven’t been on the forum, but will in the future…do you guys prefer once a month or once every other month. Or, you just want to meet up once. haha.
EDIT: Also, please let me know your e-mail address, so I can email you guys the set date time and location after we all agree on the schedule. My e-mail address is voon (dot) sharon at gmail (dot) com

May 21 is my birthday, lol…
Let me know when you guys can do the day time in the Hollywood or West side area. I don’t drive so Pasadena is kinda for the bus. But whether we all make it or not I hope that it is a great time for everyone involved! I am sure it will be interesting to have all these different people in one location sharing!

Girl, I understand. I am slowly crawling out of a lower pay cheque to a livable one, lol…
Hit me up @ msmerising@yahoo.com to arrange a time for lunch!

Yes, let’s meet on May 21st around 7pm wednesday if that’s okay by most people and then let’s meet again monthly after that as I believe that it is very helpful to get us all together to meet and share and dialogue about our stories and experiences. Any ideas where to meet? Fondly, Gwen.

1. 25
2. First semester of med school
3. Guadalajara, Mexico, but OC is home for me, Fullerton to be exact, and I get there at least several times a year.
4. June-Julyish works best for me
5. Topic: Why didn’t I know about you people earlier and why haven’t we done this before?! =P
I lived in Fullerton for 11 years and attended UC Irvine from 2001 to 2006, not to mention all of my family lives there, so I guess it really is home for me. But really, great idea!

A few possible places:
1. Pasadena
2. Anaheim (I’m thinking Downtown Disney, unless there’s an eatery around that’s good)
Any of those two places is good for you? It seems to be kind of in the middle, and they seem to have good places to dine.
However, if you want to share a favourite restaurant, please let me know!
Once I figure out where people are willing to drive to, I’ll pick a more detailed location.
Kirk, welcome! I am looking forward to meeting you! Gwen, you live in Pasadena, right?
