I’ve been wanting to try Pat Bing Soo (Korean shaved ice) for a while. Would any beanies in the LA area be interested in meeting up and getting Pat Bing Soo?
Should be plenty in Irvine. All over Orange County truthfully. I know you said you don’t like to drive in LA but K-Town has plenty of Korean eat spots.
I’m pretty close to the OC too. LA has more well known spots but parking sucks in ktown. I’m up to go to either OC or LA! Garden Grove used to be known as the OG non-LA ktown but Buena Park now is more known as the non-LA ktown.
Oh this beanie meet up already sounds grand!! I have had 2 beanie meet-ups but nothing on a group level.. keep us posted when u do meet and how it goes! 😊😊😊😊
@lcaro13@thatstp@acacia@lordcobol@crysta
So should we meet in K Town in LA or should we meet in Buena Park?
Should I give you all my email so we can work this out privately?
I just went thru the circus of:
Install Kakao talk
Set up account
Try to log in
Try to get past the message saying that I had to do something with their app on my mobile before I could use it on my PC.
Delete account.
Uninstall program.

@lordcobol I’m sorry KaKao didn’t work for you. Do you want to post what days/times you prefer here and we can include that as we work out when to meet.
I’m free almost any time, especially weekends and weekdays until mid afternoon. (I work a funny shift, but I can take a day off to make a weekday evening too).
I’m kinda assuming that Saturday would be best for most people, but it doesn’t matter much to me.
i keep trying to join and getting errors msgs, but i’ll keep at it! (im on my work internet right now, so maybe its firewalled or something? ill try at home later). <3
OK, if nobody beats me too it I’ll post something like
——————-
Ra On Ah is trying to arrange a Los Angeles / Orange County beanie meetup for some Korean shaved ice, probably either in Koreatown or Buena Park.
If the kakao chat works, we will try to figure it out there and add in the comments from here to come up with a place and time. If not, we might end up just doing it all on here. I wanted a little bit more privacy since this is about as open as it can get but I get that not everyone has kakao or can get it to work. We’ll make sure everyone who’s interested will definitely know either way!
Irvine is more convenient for me too, but if it’s going to be in OC then I think Buena Park might be better because there probably will be several beanies coming from L.A.
Delurking to join in. Thanks for organizing this, Ra On Ah!
To my knowledge, there have been two previous meetups in this area that were publicized on DB, and both were held in L.A. (One was DB’s 10th anniversary bash, and the other was held during K-con about 5 years ago.) It would be nice if this one, or if not, the next one, were held in OC. If this one is in OC, then maybe the next one could be in K-Town when the weather is cooler.
If it’s going to be the Sat. before K-con (as suggested above), then that would be August 4th. I know some beanies drove up from San Diego County for the previous meetups, so it’d be good if it weren’t too early in case that happens again.
I think @kiara is in the area too. IIRC, she’s taking a break from dramaland at the moment but she may want to join us.
Could someone post this on the What We’re Watching thread, too?

Delurking to join in. Thanks for organizing this, Ra On Ah!
To my knowledge, there have been two previous meetups in this area that were publicized on DB, and both were held in L.A. (One was DB’s 10th anniversary bash, and the other was held during K-con about 5 years ago.) It would be nice if this one, or if not, the next one, were held in OC. If this one is in OC, then maybe the next one could be in K-Town when the weather is cooler.
If it’s going to be the Sat. before K-con (as suggested above), then that would be August 4th. I know some beanies drove up from San Diego County for the previous meetups, so it’d be good if it weren’t too early in case that happens again.
I think @kiara is in the area too. IIRC, she’s taking a break from dramaland at the moment but she may want to join us.
