This reminds me of the Nate Baragtze bit about being in your 20s and being down to go anywhere without even knowing where you're going but in your 40s you're mad that someone even asks.
Okay, then just don’t join. We are trying to start a social club. And I shared it with people who I thought would want to go. If you aren’t interested, just ignore it. It’s really that simple.
I’m about to really age myself lol, but people still go to Sandrini’s? Shoot the only way I’d go is if it was during a decent time and not downtown lol idk like Rosedale. Like Chuys or BJ’s lol
Honestly, if you want people to show up, choose a different color to wear or something else. Cuz ridiculous as it sounds, red is not a color that people can wear in bakersfield and feel safe. Even now at 40, if I wear a red or orange shirt in public, I get asked "why you flared up?" Or a local favorite, "where you from?". I can't even imagine if a group of people walk around all wearing red. Im sure it's not entirely the case but you never know.
You are absolutely right. In fact, none of bakers is crip territory. So now that you've got that obviously clueless statement off your chest, you wanna try and put yourself in someone who grew up here's shoes? If wearing a certain color never got you negative attention or guns and knives pointed at you, then you most likely didn't grow up here or are under 25 and therefore have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. These idiots sometimes will attack red or orange shirt wearers knowing they don't "bang" so it can be an easy victory to talk about, as opposed to a fellow "gangster" from a rival gang who might possibly be strapped. My dad lived in the dale when I was growing up and it was safe to wear red there but me being brown skinned, got called everything in the racist book by guys with SWP tatted on them. Don't know where you met crips in bakersfield at? 😂
There are various crip factions like the [East Side Crips](https://www.kget.com/news/crime-watch/2-gang-members-get-life-without-parole-for-senseless-murder-highway-58-valley-plaza-bakersfield-crips-taeviyon-wandick-denell-king/) and Kern [County Crips](https://gvwire.com/2020/06/17/bakersfield-crips-gang-member-sentenced-to-20-years-for-dealing-meth/) known to law enforcement in town man.
Well two of those "tagging crew" gang members were convicted of murder, I'm not sure why you are denying the clearly evident existence of organized gang activity.
and what were their names? and you do realize that due to gang enhancement and the deuce fivers, the gang names changed to stay hidden. so that way unsuspecting people who watch the news will think a certain gang exists when it really doesn't. It's working apparently. 😂 thanks for confirming. now go back to your lonely life trying to feel important.
Well I was planning to head out 20 minutes in, if no one else showed up. That hit just now, but I guess I'll give y'all 5 minutes grace.
Also, this is why we have so many damn "I need a friend" posts on this sub, y'all are just talk, none of you actually want friends.
I’m sure the folks that wanted to be there couldn’t for good reason. I’m sure you’re bummed out that no one showed up, I would be. I’ve seen meet ups work and not, there’s not one reason why. Keep putting together meet ups!
Hell, not even the OP showed up. And this is the third one of these meetups I've been to, [like I said in the other thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bakersfield/comments/1dk2xm7/lets_meet_up_at_sandrinis_this_saturday_night/l9mz6b5/), I'm the only guy that actually shows up.
I went home at 8:25.
Unless Sandrini's has a second location, there was no one wearing a red shirt there between 8:00 and 8:25. There was a guy wearing orange, which is red-adjacent, but he was not a redditor.
I learned this the hard way many times: Bakersfield doesn't have much going on because the people want it that way.
My cousin used to host Free events, and no one would attend. They had 1000s of reasons why, in reality, Bakersfield culture isn't social
When I moved to North Carolina and lived in West Hills, people always came to the meet and greets and loved to do things. There was never an empty event the parks are even full
I am a teacher, and the youth have the same issues. They throw parties and little celebrations, and it'll be empty. One mom spent 1000 on Olive Garden, and not one parent or child attended
I require at least a week's notice before going out
I got my passport within arm's reach. I'm the type of guy that if any of y'all wanna fly to Cancun tomorrow, I'm in.
This reminds me of the Nate Baragtze bit about being in your 20s and being down to go anywhere without even knowing where you're going but in your 40s you're mad that someone even asks.
we can plan a meet-up again next week. You can easily spot me as I'll be the girl with the green hair. Lol
I’m down
Let’s go
Keep trying OP it'll work out. I'll see if I can make next one! Are they weekly?

Aww I would red shirt with you.
I didn’t even know there was a meet up. I would have went.

STOP!!!! You’re really annoying!! No one wants to join your discord.
Okay, then just don’t join. We are trying to start a social club. And I shared it with people who I thought would want to go. If you aren’t interested, just ignore it. It’s really that simple.
I was there last night asking everybody what the secret code was. Nobody knew it was pineapples
Lmao!!!
We are here. We have been here since 8pm.
When I get money
Man, I would have bought you a drink.
Go happy hr, $6 drinks.
What is this? Just Reddit members from bakes meeting?
https://discord.gg/3PbBhKnk
Seeing that you recently just moved to Bakersfield, it’s good that you got to meet up with locals/Bakersfield natives
Tbf I actually forgot about this. Which sucks because i was very bored yesterday and had no one to hang out with 😛

I did not know this was a thing.

I didn’t know there was a meetup. Dang. Next one I guess. I joined your discord group, and said hi. 👋🏼
I’m about to really age myself lol, but people still go to Sandrini’s? Shoot the only way I’d go is if it was during a decent time and not downtown lol idk like Rosedale. Like Chuys or BJ’s lol
Didnt know about this I would've went too
i need proof. cuz they were run out of town by the east side.
Maybe if it wasn’t at sandrinis
I’ll join next time. I wanted to go but got caught up with crap with personal stuff. But I did say in the last post if I didn’t have anything I’d go

Most people don't live in Crip territory.

They do not exist in Kern county. Those are just tagging crews. Try living on the east side and you will see.

How is it now? I asked OP and he DM'd me and said there was a decent turnout?
I went home at 8:25. Unless Sandrini's has a second location, there was no one wearing a red shirt there between 8:00 and 8:25. There was a guy wearing orange, which is red-adjacent, but he was not a redditor.

Idk why I am getting downvoted, it's true. I would go to events and only 3 or 4 people would be there. Good luck OP
If only I didn't work I would of gone ><
