There's two options for me this summer, and I hope to manage both.

It is now something like four years since the first RuinsofEmpire London Symposium(tm), and I believe a repeat is long overdue. Matt and Andy should be able to make it down, and all you other lazy buggers should be able to get on a plane easily enough.

The second plan is to try meet up with some salubrious North American characters during my soirée in Canada. Will be in Toronto towards the end of September, so you should all get into your big gas guzzling vehicles and drive up. I'll be in Vancouver as well, but from the sound of it most people are in the North East, so the drive might be a bit of a stretch.

I think I can swing by the London party too. But i'll need a date soon, so I can ask for some days off around there.  :)

Hey all!

California here, so quite the distance to travel...  Still, I'd be up for dropping in on one of these get togethers as a part of a ~2 week trip to some part of Europe (not picky, everywhere mentioned sounds cool!).  Time frame is too quick for now, but perhaps down the road...  :)

With my current financial status, I don't think I can justify a cross-continental trip. London however, I could manage. For my wallet's sake, I would prefer Denmark or Norway, but that's just me being selfish.

Getting together could be great fun though, so let's work on it!

 Definitely down the road. I haven't gotten the economy for anything serious these days either... Maybe in a years time I'll try and take a trip to the States :)

I am shocked by how cheap flights from Stansted to Copenhagen are - down at £26.99 midweek and £50.99 weekends. To add some perspective to this a train journey from my town (Diss) to London is £75.00.....

The second RuinsofEmpire London Symposium(tm) will now be arranged on 17th July. Location is still to be confirmed, but likely to be in South London somewhere. Brixton, Clapham or surrounds likely candidates. Looking forward to seeing all you drunkards there.  8)

Crap,
Ill be in london from the 20th to the 26th of July. And Ill be working on the 17th so I can't make the date.
But if any of you are up to finding a date more compatible with my week in London I will try to convince the wife that it is an event that we can't miss.... Ohh and the 22nd of July is taken for another event.

Funnily enough I will be there. As is I live no more than 45 minutes from London during the week and am happy to pop in to have drinks should anyone be in the vicinity on a week night.

Enjoying the Canadian Summer - and I don't think the wife would let me skip out to Europe without her  ::).  I do have joint Canadian/Italian citizenship though.

Italians are everywhere ;)

I'm living in Norway and trips to London is quite cheap these days, so I might actually be able to get my ass over there for the 17th meeting.

Denmark also sounds like a great idea ofc, but I think from the city I live in, Trondheim, it's actually cheaper to goto London than Copenhagen :O

It definately does not suck.  :)

But Marco has much better climate i bet. It could be fun to go exotic and go down south for an extended weekend sorta thing.


I could find a place to host some of you (My wife's father has a large villa on the shores of a lake) but I must warn you wheater in my area is very hot (35°C last night) with a lot of damp worsing the general climate ::)
