THE NON_MEETUP
and here are summaries/paraphrases of private msg exchanges that i had with suiram about the 500$ before the meetup and during the meetup.
* 10:41pm : i pvtmsg'd grace and got her okay to arrange to pick up the 500$ from suiram. she replied shortly thereafter that i was "more than welcome to attempt" to collect.
* 11:33 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram that grace said i could act on her behalf. told him i would be at the salon about 130-145 on monday. i sent my hobby ph# and also added that if i could not make it monday, i could do so w/in the next 2 wks or 30 days per his comment in the thread:
"I will give anyone who cares enough 30 days to come pick up her money for her. I am only going to be home in Dallas for 2 weeks on Monday, so there should be no excuse."
i was out of town w/ friends all day saturday.
* 04:31 PM : suiram pvtmsgs me that i needed to have my ass there to get her money "fuck boy". he wrote that i should pm him when i'm 10 mins away, he would wait in the lobby, and i would have to log in to eccie and prove it’s me. then wrote that if i wasnt willing to do that, then dont waste my time. then wrote that i should be a "real fucking man" to come when he was there and to get this ho's money that she did not win.
* 11:29 PM : after getting home, i read the above pvt msg and pvtmsg'd him that i was planning on being there monday. i would either pvtmsg him when i was 10 mins away or that i wouldnt be able to make it.
* 01:08 PM : suiram pvtmsgs me that i had 40 mins to get there "pussy". since i post on eccie (and elsewhere?) w/ lots of shit, i now had my chance to be a "hero" and pick up the money that he thought i thought she earned (i have never stated that). he wrote that he would be in the lobby and that i should pm when i got there.
* 01:30 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram that i arrived and would be in the lobby in a few minutes (i wanted some time to decompress after a 30mins freeway drive).
about 1:35 or so, i walked into the lobby - no one was there, not even at the receptionist counter. i walked all thru the salons looking in rooms for a guy. i saw two asian (vietnamese?) guys talking w/ some asian stylists and one anglo-american guy in a salon getting his hair cut. everyone else was a female stylist or customer. i walked outside and leaned up against the lobby window cos it was nicer to be outside than inside.
* 01:41 PM : suiram pvtmsgs me - his "boy" said no one was in the lobby, that he was in the barber chair, and i should pvtmsg him when i was in the lobby.
* 01:44 PM : after i got outside, i pvtmsg'd suiram that i was outside.
01:46 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram to describe what i was wearing.
one of the asian guys walks out of the salon, goes a few storefronts down, and sits down to smoke a cigarette and look at his smartphone.
a few minutes later, a tall and large african american guy w/ dreadlocks and a durag walks into the salons. i say "hey" and he continues inside. i decide to walk in and sit in the lobby.
i'm there for a few minutes when the dreadlock guy comes into the lobby and asks me if i'm waiting for someone. i tell him "suiram" twice. he asks "what for". i reply to collect an envelope.
the gist of his response was that suiram told him to tell me that suiram wasnt going to give me the money and that i was a fool for coming. i said ok, but i'm here before 2 o'clock per msgs and am ready to collect the envelope.
he then went on about how i'm a hero or tough guy, was here to collect money that she didnt win, and believed she did win, etc. etc. etc. i said again that i was just here to collect the envelope and that it was before 2 o'clock.
he restated his lines and then added "well, i dont read those boards, but make sure you tell everyone there that he wasnt gonna give you/her any money."
since this wasnt going anywhere, i get up to walk out and told dreadlock guy "fine, just tell him that i was here before 2 o'clock and that it was HIS choice to not give me the envelope." he starts again w/ more of the same, so i repeat my two points, leave the salons and walk out, taking the long way back to my car.
* 01:59 PM : by the time i get to my car, i see that suiram pvtmsg'd me - he said he was going to send his buddy to delivery a "special message". if i didnt like the messsage then i could feel free "to come take my money."
* 02:01 PM : PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram and ask which salon he is in so i'll can come collect the money (i made sure i never said "take" the money).
* 02:04 PM : suiram pvtmsgs me - he said that he told his boy to let me know that i was not "getting a damn thing."
* 02:08 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram - i replied that i was responding to his "if you dont like the message, come take my money." then re-iterated that if he was deciding NOT to give the money, fine - that was HIS choice and that i was only there to receive it, not take it.
* 02:15 PM : suiram pvtmsgs me - saying that was not his understanding from my postings on "the boards". then said that while i talk shit there, i didn’t do shit when "his boy" showed up. he said he now knows me and that i should just go home to my family (btw, i dont have any family here in dallas, only on the west coast).
i waited in my car to see if anyone came out of the salon. about 10 mins later, i see the anglo american guy walk out, go to his honda cr-v, and then leave.
* 02:27 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram - not knowing who's who, i tease/troll him and say "nice haircut, mr. cr-v"
* 03:31 PM : about an hour later i receive the last pvtmsg from suiram. he says i'm clueless, that he parked in the back (cos he knows the owner), said that since i didnt shit talk to "my bro" i shouldnt start shit talking now (saying "nice haircut" is shit talking??). even called me "Santa clause" (btw, i'm not anglo-american). and ends with an imperative tense to not contact him any more as "we are done".
* 03:59 PM : i pvtmsg'd suiram - i tease/troll him one more time and say "i wont pm you any more. oh shit, i already did."
