I'm up for some of that Doormancon action. Won't have any time though, for a couple of months probably.
[quote:1463295fc7="Garner"]Who's up for it? Where should it be?[/quote:1463295fc7] In Germany! It's about time.
[quote:40f645edb3="Hsing"]In Germany! It's about time.[/quote:40f645edb3] Seconded. If that's too far, the Netherlands is nice and central.
I won't be 'round those part till the end of summer, unfortunately. But when I arrive, god damn, the party will rock. The kasbah even.
Have fun guys, I invite you all to Minnesota, I might have a little time off this summer to play host and you could camp in the yard.
Nothing beats a Swedish summer. Not too hot, bright sun but most of all, days so long the night never starts!
I see, so far no one really had any objections against Germany as a location. We've got a sleeping couch free and lots of space for matresses!
Sweden is right out, as it constantly snows 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, without end. Germany is probably not a good location, as it is full of germans and many of them do not yet speak english. France is off limits until such time as they stop smoldering. America is off limits until such time as they stop domestic wiretapping. This leaves only England, or possibly Scotland with the same provisions as germany (eg, it's full of Germans, and many of them do not yet speak english). So, I suggest either a one day meet up in London, a multi-day meet up in Hastings, or any other meet up where i will not have to stay in a hostle, because hostles suck. As for when, Easter is probably a bad time for Buzzfloyd, but that saturday or bank holiday would probably not be too out of the question.
What about the Netherlands? Most of us speak English, you can crash on my couch and it rarely snows here. Also, not on fire and no domestic wiretapping.
I'd be up for it (especially in the Netherlands!). I do however have an insane amount of work travel to do this year, so it would be date dependant.
It's possible that I would be able to to make an appearance. Though, family might be coming to stay with me over easter so we'll ahve to be carefull with dates. And such. On a side note, does anyone know/care whats happened to kenny?
I assumed he went out on a boating excursion to watch salmon spawning, and was eaten by a dolphin lundgren while there. I've seen him online in the past few weeks, but usually showing an idle status.
It's just a matter of my money-to-coursework ratio, really. Anytime from the Easter period onwards would probably be ok for me, even if it is during term time. If it's a one day thing, that is.
Maybe we should hold it on the moon, pretty much equidistant for everybody. You can afford that Ella, right?
I'd settle for the Netherlands, too! Also, I could do something about all the Germans. Or at least try it. Or we just choose that time of year when they are all in Scotland.

Also, hostels don't suck! They give you all the toast you could eat! And they have showers and everything, even if they do have silly transparent doors. But the toast! Well, the bread, the toaster, and the industrial sized tub of cheapo margarine. As long as you don't stay in the same room as a bed-stealing bitch, or some loud drunks, then they're cool. Oh yeah, I could sell dirt to the Queen.

ooh ooh ooh i want to come. can we schedule it for just the right time after i graduate and can justify rewarding myself with a vacation? pleeeease?
[quote:7d776742ef="Electric_Man"]It also rules Ella out![/quote:7d776742ef] It also rules out that bitch who stole my bed. She'll be heartbroken.* *If this VooDoo Doll I made works.
Hey! I went all the way to London for the last one, isn't it your time to travel now? Also because I'm back in uni and I have zero money to come visit with
I'm in, just tell me when. I can come if it's scheduled before September and I may not be available during the summer as well.
Mynona, I came all the way from Australia. Its time for people to come here for a change... So lonely...
there we have it! The people from GB are hereby sentenced to travel all over the world to meet the rest of us. Or they could just pay our plane tickets :badgrin:
Actually... I can't help but wondering... Why do you people all get together to go con some poor doorman ? I mean come on guys, being a doorman isn't exactly the best paid job in the world, if you want to con someone, go for someone who actually has enough money to make it worth your while !

[quote:aa5940174e="sampanna"]India is much more centrally located for everyone .. from Australia to England![/quote:aa5940174e] Technically Singapore is considered the stop off from Australia to the UK but India works for me too...considering 1/4 of me sorta lives there now... I doubt I could really do any though...
Okay, Avgi's top priority to accomodate, but her schedule's wide open so that's not an issue. Grace won't be available at all this month, and next month is not great either. March is ideal, really, for most of us, i think. Who can't do march who might otherwise be able to come?
I'd appreciate it if we didn't do this on the first weekend of March, since on Friday the 3rd is my mum's birthday.
Just make a decision soon so I can try to organise my workload around it. It depends on what deadlines I have, which change all the time.
okay, let's do this with some semblance of reason: If you want to attend a UK based doormencon, please say so and state what times are NOT good for you, if any.
My weekend availability: All except today and next week My weekday availabilty: Apart from the month of February, should be no problems in taking time off work

I'm technically available for the whole of March, at the moment. I don't have any deadlines that I know of yet. However! I will undoubtedly be broke by then, as I've got a few things before it which will suck up the last shreds of my student loan. I'm a maybe. Set a date, and I'll see if I can manage it.
basically what Delphine said. I can be free for a weekend if I know in advance, though I don't have a whole month off at any time this year (damn I miss Trinity vacations!) But I really want to meet you guys, so let me know when and I'll work my time accordingly. I feel really grown-up now, for some reason. And, of course incredibly cool :cooler:
I say Manchester. Easy to get to, pretty central. And means i'll be able to go without needing to take time off work
no, i think it's going to be either in london, or, if coppe has a big enough couch, somewhere in the netherlands.
I'm prepared to set doors on fire if necessary. for anything. anything at all. want to win the lottery? think setting doors on fire might help? that's all the justification i need!
[quote:5bfdc88320="Ivan_the_terrible"]Meantime, I'm going to the UK on the 21st of February... on a business trip, naturally, but I hope to find some time for London boardanians! From the 22 till 26 I'll be staying at Soho hotel, London - meetings 26 - 1st of March - BBC showcase in Brighton. 1st of March - our programming director is flying back to Kiev and I'm back to London - for Buena Vista TV Conference - Soho. 3d - back to Kiev. Hope I'll have some free time on the 25th and 1st. [/quote:5bfdc88320] I would be available on the 25th (a saturday) and could possibly swing a day off work on the 1st (a wednesday). So given Ivan will be there, those two dates (especially the saturday) look like a good time to meet up, who can and who can't make it?
I could maybe do a saterday...but might have preranged something. I could meet up after work on wednesday pretty easly
Sadly, Munich is at least as far away from me as London, if not further... Otherwise I'd have yelled: MINI-DMC!
