[chicagolongboards]

You need to be less of a hater!
I lived in Chicago, but now I have a family and moved to the burbs.
Anyways who th f$#@ are you to be the judge?
Whatever... back to the topic.

[Directive0]

wtf?

shapeshifter gets cranky around new people, especially those who make decks. Dont worry, just go to the events and sessions section, or use the search function! Odds are there's tons of peeps on here.

You're 8 posts deep, and already calling people out?

[chicagolongboards]

Last I checked it was a free country. If this guy wants to hate on me, then so be it. I am new here and am trying to find people to ride with. What's the big deal?

[Directive0]

trust me bud. Shapeshifter is not a bit part player in this scene, he is condescending but when you talk to him and see what he does you'll understand why. You'd be best (especially as a board builder) to just cool your jets and take any flack you get and turn the other cheek for now... atleast untill you know who you're up against and what bridges you're burning.

Welcome aboard, enjoy yourself, and don't take ANYTHING personally.

[chicagolongboards]

That's cool. What can I say? I'm new here and he's slamming me.
I'm SORRY Shapeshifter. I don't use forums much, so I'm not used to the way they work.

[Directive0]

its all good man. Dont let it get ya down. Ride your board and smile.

[shapeshifter]

actually i kinda like his attitude... that's what gets my respect!

you've been tested. it's all good.

[chicagolongboards]

So . Are you still living in Chicago ? I am going to hit up the lakefront by the museum this Sunday with a few people. maybe you can join us.

[shapeshifter]

i know...

what time are you going to be at the museum campus? i plan to be at the theives market not far away soon after sunrise (or whenever the bars close). i'll be the one sleeping under lsd in a hammock. the rest of the crew will be a stoned throws away.

[onetwotapas]

completely unrelated but ......

i heard a few months back that Berghoff was going to shut down. did it happen? if so its a shame, they made some good sausages.

[shapeshifter]

not quite... they still have the bar open which doles up the killer bratwurst 'n saurkraut. sure miss the old place where you could get good game any time of the year.

[chicagolongboards]

If your in the area tomorrow, I'm going to hit up the museum and aquarium campus on Sunday may 21. I'm meeting some people at the bean in millenium park at 7 am. The more the merrier!
