I'm coming to SoCal in May!

**Winged Mermaid** · 04-06-2015, 06:58 PM

Great news- I'll be visiting SoCal the first week of May! (May 1st-May 7th)

I'll be originally in LA but may be traveling down to the Anaheim and/or San Diego area as well! I'd LOVE to have a meetup while I'm there! Swim meet, or beach photo shoot or something awesome!

wish I could see you there. I hope you have a wonderful trip you deserve it!

**Mermaid Wesley** · 04-06-2015, 10:40 PM

According to Nate and Anita, I'll be meeting you

can't wait!

I will probably be meeting you as well! (: We may very well be having a mermaid beach bonfire meet that week, especially if you will be visiting!

I want to be in whatever meet goes down, but someone needs to concisely message me what's happening so I know if I can make it, because my English has been flopping lately, and I tried to figure out what was going on in the FB Pod Group post, and I just got lost. Lol

Ooh! Are you ever planning to be near the Malibu area? Or I can suggest Leo Carillo beach, there are tons of good photoshoot areas there! I hope I can join

**Froth** · 04-08-2015, 02:22 AM

Id love to get the chance to meet some fellow mers!

**Ashton** · 04-08-2015, 10:39 AM

As I said on our FB, I am so in!!

**polyhymnia113** · 04-10-2015, 02:36 AM

I'd love to be included and meet some fellow socal mers as well. My new tail should be finished by then too and I'd love to get to break it in surrounded by other merfolk. Please keep me posted.

**polyhymnia113** · 04-10-2015, 02:37 AM

*I'm local to LA btw. Failed to mention that bit in my excitement.

**Winged Mermaid** · 04-10-2015, 06:19 PM

Also it's possible that we may be organizing a pool meetup in the week. Just need to find a pool, haha :P Preferably in SD county cause I plan to head that way after Monday, and also it will give the mers who are in SD county who can't travel up to the beach meetup a chance to get together. But we'll see what happens

**Winged Mermaid** · 04-10-2015, 06:18 PM

Okay so I'm going to be attending the SoCal pod Meetup on Sat May 2nd. (Here's the FB link for those who have it: https://www.facebook.com/events/1568356840085795/). Event says 11am-9:30 pm. I probably won't be there till around 2ish though cause I gotta get my hotel stuff sorted then drive down. It's at Balboa Pier (#1 Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, California 92661)

According to Anita the group stays after dark and has a potluck around a bonfire on the beach. This month's event says "To participate, you need to contribute [to the potluck]! Please do not show up with nothing to contribute to the group and think it's okay to just eat the food that others brought, it isn't fair to those who go out of their way to help provide for this event to happen."

I'm going to be going and getting food somewhere else though, cause I have a super strict (medically necessary) diet. I'll try and bring a little something for others to snack on though

**Mermaid Wesley** · 04-10-2015, 06:42 PM

Yes! The monthly meet is potluck style, we hang out with legs and in tail and do a bonfire. You're welcome to bring "you only" snacks or food and I'm sure everyone will be understanding. Can't wait to see you!

Looks like I'll be able to make it so far! I'm so excited to finally meet everyone

Hope I fit in enough

**Mermaid Wesley** · 04-10-2015, 10:56 PM

And It looks like I can only show up for a tiny little bit now. -_- I have finals the week of the fourth.

**Winged Mermaid** · 04-11-2015, 09:46 PM

So it looks like they might be changing it to Sunday... they have a poll on the event page to pick which day works best for you. If anyone doesn't have FB and has a preferred day let me know here and I'll comment with your preference.
