Opportunities to Meet Your Fellow GNamers!

I don't know about "straightforward", but I'd be well up for it. Road trip!

If we're going down the 'night out' route I'm quite happy to revisit my old stomping grounds of Newcastle, but my older still stomping grounds of Manchester's good, too.

What they don't know can't hurt them.  

Quite a few good ideas (those being Edinburgh, Newcastle & party at Andy's) as was said leaving it until summer-ish would give us time to organise a bigger meet up.

Your driving Buska if it's all the way to Manchester, Newcastle or various places up North.

I am an awful awful liar. They'd know.  

"SON. DID YOU HAVE A PARTY LAST NIGHT?"

"N-n-no, I-I-I d-d-did n-no such th-th-thi-"

"HEEEEY IT'S MR AND MRS BALLADEER WAHEY!"

I'm more worried about the massive molehills in the garden.  

Monty's not appeared round this parts for a while... maybe the Xmas period will change that.   

I can now imagine Jay ordering a monty mole costume over Christmas.

A cursory Google search brought up nothing. I totally would have done as well.

I'm cool with that. I'll work out a route and pick up anyone its logical to pick up. Splitting the petrol would probably be cheaper than the train.

We'd need to have a hotel or something though so I can sleep off the booze before driving home

That sounds like a plan Buska, I don't mind driving either if were staying over somewhere.

On Saturday March 15th the tenth (!) meeting of StreetPass Manchester is scheduled. I'm going to this and the theme is multiplayer sessions of 'Forgotten Games', like Kid Icarus, Theatrhythm and Luigi's Mansion 2.

If anyone fancies going but would need directions, please send me an MP/PM. 

Sorry to hi-jack, Zero, but I thought I'd throw out there that I'm up in Dundee on placement for the next fortnight. Outwith of work I've got bugger all on the agenda. Does anyone live anywhere near? Could do a meet-up if so.

I was planning on going there to relax before I found out the event was on. I may still turn up to see what it's like, though.

Just looked into an open return for Dundee and its a bit much, even in my drunken state. If other people were up for it though I'd get involved

Just as well as you didn't - I finished that placement yesterday afternoon!

Looks like a few of us here in Scotland are planning on meeting up at some point in the summer to go to a wrestling show. Not everybody's cup of tea, but I'm sure we can make a day of it in other ways if anybody else is interested in coming along.

Oh yeah, didn't even look at the time stamp!

You're looking at StreetPass Manchester's Tetris champion! 

I was in the same building as you. Did you streetpass anyone called Cube?

Anyone going to EGX London this year.

I was considering it.

Same but I don't want to go on my own.

I'll have a proper look at days and prices tonight and get back to you.

I'm more than likely to be there. When is it?
