Then you need to come along to the event of a lifetime. Yes, it's the first annual

"Flare forumgoers deceide to meet in the real 3d world and are slightly dissapointed by everyone being slightly less funny than they are on the internet until Lee gets drunk and starts a fight with anyone who says that he sounds like a BBC Wildlife narrator 1999!"

Lee suggested Page's Bar. It's a trek bar apparently. Any British forumperson who is over 18 and isn't dead is welcome to come along. I think Satrday would be best, for those of us who havebusy weekday jobs. Students of course don't care, and get large loans anyway. Ha Ha.

Any takers? Lee, Monty and I shall be there.

Oh, it'll be in London. In England. Now, that's not in the US, which may confuse some of you. I am aware that everything in the world happens in, or is related to, America, so to compensate we shall drink some really weak beer, and then spit it back out. Thank you.

You know, some of us in the US might be able to do something like that...

How many of you forumers and forumettes live in the vicinity of Buffalo/Niagara Falls/Toronto area?

If you're getting down tonight, Liam, shall you be getting up tomorrow morning? *ducks*

Jeff: Actually, I think quite a chunk of the population lives in such a radius...

Jubilee and Frank live in the same state, Krenim(Krenum, Krenem) and I live in the same state. IIRC, that's about it for close.

Indeed. Be there or be an equilateral quadrilateral.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Well, theoretically, two people in the same state could be no closer than Jeff and someone in Toronto...

Jaresh is around this area too. But I suggest we don't meet or the two of us are going to get into a very nasty political argument........

Actually, Sol And LOA live rather close to each other. And, IIRC, somebody mentioned that they live relatively close to CC.

I live about 45 minutes south of Pittsburgh, PA.

That's about 5 or 6 hours from Niagra Falls.

However... all fun that this might provide aside, I make it a point never to drive 5 hours for ANYTHING, unless there is a nubile, willing young lady at the other end. (And the last time I even did THAT, she got back together with an old boyfriend WHILE I was making the trip! ARRGH!)

Have it in Pittsburgh though, and that's another thing altogether.

I don't check the forums for several days and the night out is announced at that same time. Coincidence?

(just kidding)

I would have liked to go, but it seems that I've missed it. I was going to come to the library on Wednesday to check the forums, but there was a football game going on, and I decided to play football instead. Today is the first opportunity since then that I've had to check the net. Damn it!!!

That said, I don't think I could afford to go down to London at the moment anyway because I'm ridiculously short of money, but maybe next time eh.. *sighs*

Well pity that us Austrayans

live in complete different STATES...

Daryus: New South Wales
Dax: Western Australia

maybe we could all meet in the middle - that'd put us in some sorta desert.

Uh, Syndickychops, we haven't set a date yet. . .

Posted by Baloo (Member # 5) on :

I live in New Mexico, and (I think) there are 2 forumers within Driving distance (in opposite directions, of course). One is (or was) in Lubbock, TX (distance a bit more than 100 miles), the other in Albuquerque, NM (a bit more than 200 miles).

Ah, well, it's much more convenient the way things are. Just think of all the gas I'm saving by not visiting each and every one of you individually! (Not to mention the disillusionment you might feel when confronted with my obviously corporeal, non-god-like self!)

The forumite that you speak of that lives in Lubbock is Warped1701. As far as I know, he's still there. And I must pay him a visit sometime, as Lubbock is the hometown of the delightful Jennifer Love Hewitt

If I stood outside and yelled, Tahna could hear me on a clear day. But I agree with him. We should not meet.

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :

Yes. Quite right. This is a British thread. Bugger off, you Yanks and Canucks. After all, you'll only concede that the best place to meet is somewhere in the centre of North America, like Wyoming, which doesn't exist anyway.

Posted by Montgomery (Member # 23) on :

Let's see....
Yes, Yes and YES!

This is awl vewwy confusing. Right now I'm juggling a trip back up north one weekend (TBC), a trip south by my Scottish cronies with their homages (TBC) and the big Trek bash organisng here before your very eyes.

Right erm....
I think we can agree it'll be one of the Saturday nights in November. I'll try and post more after making some phone calls.

Posted by Chris Howell on :

Am I British? Erm, yeah.

Am I Single? For now, yes (but a certain young lady 20 miles down the road may or may not have something to say about that..)

Am I Horny? Better ask that young lady....but for now, I'm interested. Now, if we could just get a WebCam... :-)

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Look! Chris posted! Woo!

Although I'm not sure why we'd need a webcam. I thought we'd actually be talking to each others real 3d faces. Or is this a cunning plan to make sure that Monty really is the bastion of fox that we believe him to be, so that we can all prepare ourselves before we actually meet him?

Anyone suggest a place?

Posted by Orion Syndicate (Member # 25) on :

Oh, I haven't missed it. I thought you were going to meet up this Saturday gone.

That's fine, I'm up for it - it just depends on when it is and whether my finances can cope. If I get my student grant before the get together, then I'm there, otherwise I'll have to see if I can afford it.

Sorry Frank, Wyoming does exist, I know someone who moved there and visited the state several times, and they insisted that it existed, even when I said it didn't. However they they may be lying .
