UK AO'ers meet.

ok look i hate bitching about aps but this time something has to be said to justify this posts presence.....

someone gave negs saying this thread should have been done in a private confrence...which i suppouse we could have done - but then how would peps have found out about it?? we would have had to invite peps to come read about it - now i dunno about everyone else but i think this kind of meeting should be open to who-se-ever wants to attend not just to those select few choosen to be invited to the private thread.

so please think before you make comments about where things belong....
if 2 peps were arranging to meet or even just 3 friends from AO then yes a public forum would b a stupid place to discuss it - but as this meeting is open to EVERYONE at AO don't you think that everyone should have a chance to read it???

so next time place put some thought into your comments and remember to stay quite and have people think your stupid is preferable to opening your mouth and removing all doubt.

oh and on a completly different note.....

preep > np mate glad the links helped someone out ;)

You were the one who decided where the dome should go, weren't you ????

hehehehe

As I said .... Count me in, i'll be the geek in the jeans, and slashdot t-shirt.

ok so we have dates.....15th/16th yeah??
we have a place...london
now all we need is a venue - am thinking if we have several different places to meet for different times

so no matter what time people are arriving they will know where we will be :)
plus it means that those who arrive early on won't have to sit in same place all day ;)

anyone got any ideas??

Valhallen and reb00+ .... all I can say about the negs is I'm glad to see that I wasn't alone in recieving exactly this message...

<edit> I know I'm a bit late on this bit.. only just got home from sorting out stuff at work :( </edit>

as for meeting... 15/16 Feb London ... looks like we're all agreed on this. As for places..... well picadilly circus is always a trad meeting place for 'dodgy' dealings... can we include a 'geek-fest' <ahem g/f words not mine> :) in such activities?? Maybe start there at a particular time in the morning and move on with the intention of being in particularly well known spots at certain times for say 30mins so peeps can meet with us.

It's either going to be that or some folks start distributing their mobile phone numbers (by PM of course)... unless anyone has a better idea..... Lady, Redgore, anyone else?

I think a combination of the roving meet + a published mobile number is a good one.

I have a stack of old pay-as-you-go-sims, and will volunteer to coordinate the phone bit, if no one else wants to do the job.

May I also suggest that the science museum is a great place for geeks to meet.

we still got plenty of time to organise venues - what we really need is someone from london who can give u some good recomendations....as for me i should be easy to find.....

couldn't be too many pubs who are constantly on the news on the feb 15 cause police are flocking to the scene as some irish guy dances on tables and sings about how geeks will rul the world - while bitchin about how shots are 25ml's when ours are 35ml - hehe

lmfao
personally i dont wanna be going to no museum, or anything like that.
If im making the effort to get to london, im gonna make the most of it.

Like do some sociable drinking, follwed by a bite to eat, then maybe another wee drink, followed by a quick burger and to top it off a copious amount of vodka and red bull!

Sorry, drifted off there for a sec...

r3b00+

heh you can def tell ur irish r3b00+
great minds think alike hehe

oh and for whoever is still negin' this thread saying it should be in a private confrence I think I have already made my point about that but just incase you missed it I'll highlight the main points again just for you!

..:: Now I realise you are prolly not one of the smartest of peps so heres a breakdown for you.....

1. This trip is for everyone at AO
2. A private confrence is not open to everyone
3. You have to invite people into a private confrence
4. So those who were not invited would not get to hear about it so then it would no longer be open to everyone like it is suppoused to be....

ok if your still having probs understanding this concept instead of neging me pls feel free to PM me about it and I'll and break it down even more for you - and don't worry I'll make sure not to use any big words so you can't get confused again :)

I mite be there Ive no PC at the moment but maybe Ill show you the greatness of Irishness lol!

Wa Wa!

Yea this seems like a great idea, I would come to it. Any ideas on what sort of part of london. I would vote for West London (around the westend), because well you don't wanna be walking round east london at the late/early hours.

But finally yea I would be there, I would also offer to help setup organise if any help is needed.

Yah Yah,

I know I am a bit on again, off again as far as being here goes, but I would love to come, if you all could stand having an bloody dumb opinionated yank come.

Been wanting to hit london again for ages, this would be a good excuse, plus meeting some of you in person would be nice.

Right then guys. I was thinking of hiring out a conference hall or something for a couple of hours for us to all meet there and get to know each other. What do you lot think ? I have also set up an email account for you to email your interest to. So please email me your AO username your real name a email address and if possible a photo. I will then setup a space on my site for you to all get to know each other. Also email me any ideas as to venue etc. The email address is [email protected] so get the emails coming !! On another note a quick review of the rules. Noone under 16 should come. This is not to discriminate against people but as a common sense rule. Make sure your legal guardians wives or husbands know where you are going so i dont get in trouble ! Apart from that i think thats all. so get emailing me especially if you are willing to help me organise it !!!

oh one other lil rule - as far as i can gather we will be hitting the pub/club scene later on peps so pls dress accordingly ;)
don't want to have the whole group not get in as some club has a no trainers rule or someone is wearing sports gear...
just a lil thing but thought worth mentioning....redgore - perhaps a site detailing all plans a profile of each person confirmed and then afterwards some pics form the night itself?? and some writings from those there?
could develop nicely ;)

Good idea valhallen. I am still wating apon emails from people so far i have only had 4 emails ! So if you wanna come email me ASAP.

greetings,

im still debating whether to go or not. so im not committing to anything as of yet. although computer-drunk-talk sounds intriguing.

damn it...I SOO wanna go, I'v got some stuff I need to do In england any way......Plus I get to see you ppl.........
Any hope of there ever being an AO meeting in Holland?.....
It's not that far from england, thers rail all the way, and it's easy to get too from most places.....plus it's cheap for me :D
