	SL meet? Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Does anyone think an international get-together would be worth attempting sometime in the future? I can't think of a better bunch to hoist a few pints with.

Civ4??

It would be great, but I just can't see how I could take part in it... But if something is organized, I might try to come (but I wouldn't cross the pond for that, though: twice 8 hours plane might be too much for just a week-end...). Europe might be doable!

Europe would sound fine with me ... sitting in Vienna at the centre of it makes is even easier. I like that idea, Brian

Great idea

Bit tricky with the pond dividing us though. I could probably make it to the US or Canada if it were timed to coincide with a business trip.

How about Europe, next summer? Optional charter tour of selected pubs, er, battlefields?


Alternatively, someplace hot, this winter.

Assuming that you're talking about the northern winter, then Canberra seems to fit the bill. It will be excellent - I'll show you guys the National Library and, um, the front of my office building and, er, the lake! One lucky SLer can even sleep on my sofa!

I'm a poor student without (much of) a job, so I can't go any significant distance before next spring at least. After that though, I might go travelling a bit... At the moment it seems very likely I'll at least be heading for the UK.

We could always have low-level "SL Hostelry" whereby SLeaguers who are travelling arrange to meet up with others from that country with possibility of free short-stay accommodation

I rather selfishly thought of this after seeing Case's post. I'm seriously thinking of travelling to Australia. How 'bout it, mate?

I can of course offer a free bed in my London flat; and I mean the sofa-bed in my front room. Sheesh . Jorrit, you'd be very welcome.

That's a nice idea... (Maybe not even just the SLeague, but all of Apolyton)

Bah! Not even your own bed? Thanks for nothing, Andrew.

But I'll remember that.

I won't be able to return the favour yet... I live with my mom.

Great idea! An attempt was made at CDG a year ago or so. It didn't go too well. It's almost an impossible project to plan. Firstly there's the distances and secondly all the various circumstances. I myself am currently a poor student and can't just take off in the middle of the semester, not can I afford it, as all my spare money go into the sweet weekend life

If anyone's coming to Norway (Bergen) though, I'll be ready with a cold pint in my hand

I'd say setting a certain date and time for an SL chat is a more realistic idea.

Though I like that idea very much myself I think I have some input that might be of interest ...

As Eivind stated before, we once tried something like a meeting over at CDG - which resulted in me meeting with two other Civ2 addicts in Barcelona, when I was in Finland last summer I met another one.

I guess it would work here too if the place would be know well ahead of the meeting time. Your suggestion sounds good, Brian, I do think it would be possible. I for one would sign up now but since I graduate come February/March I do not know yet what job I will have then - and what kind of vacaction times I would get.

About that chat idea: We also had such a chat over at CDG for some time, one hour a week on a Sunday evening. It died, however, when the main force behind it decided it would be the same like - say - a MSN conversation since it was only the two of us most of the time.

Concluding I do think some kind of a meeting would be great, I would like to come - though I could not possibly sign up definitely before come spring

I'm not much interested in a chat, I'd prefer a face to face, even with a few SLers. I know it's a stretch for those in North Am, even tougher for those in Australia and Asia. I'm due for a European trip sooner or later, so next summer would work for me. Amsterdam, because it is hopefully convenient for both Brits and Continentals. Plus it's lots of fun!

You´re right about that, Brian. If you come to Amsterdam I will try to be there too - given the facts mentioned above

@Tech: Amsterdam is a great choice, for all the wrong reasons

Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful city, spliff and, er, Amstel beer. It helps if you only eat cheese, eggs and ham as well..
