Let's do this, people!

Post by yeezy » Sat Aug 20, 2016 1:35 am

What up what up. First timer. Prolly getting up to BM about 10 years past what I had in mind, but then again it's exactly the right time. Originally from the Bay, but driving from LA which has been my residence for a minute now. I'm totally unprepared, but at the same time just hyped to go in with an open mind, open arms and see how I can contribute with my meager abilities.

I feel like this is where i've been destined to be my whole life.

Question: How does one acquire a playa name? Is it something that is given to you?

Maybe you'll receive a playa name, or maybe you won't. You could even choose a playa name by just telling people a name of your choosing, but it's probably more fun and "authentic" to receive one.

Some people don't have playa names. I don't, even if I get called by my forum nickname at Meet and Greet. Maybe I'll acquire one some day, but it isn't a huge priority for me.

Welcome, Yeezy! :D

Playa names are best awarded after some sort of caper, mishap, or shocking hijinks.

That said, you may introduce yourself however you like.

Thanks! I heard hijinx and capers fell out of fashion on the playa back in 2008 after it got all commercial. Aww fuck it, we'll just have to make it work. See you soon!

naw, lots of hijinx and pranks going on. just all the asshats are too busy snapchatting their indian tacos to notice.

BTW, your shoes are the best for the playa. wouldn't wear anything else with my prada butt plug.
