Winter is only round the corner so this makes sense. Last time was awfully planned, and somehow happened... :think:

The prime locations seem to be London, Birmingham and Manchester, but feel free to suggest any place to meet.

I really enjoyed London, but kinda spoiled it a bit by acting like a little kid (I had never been to such a big place before: except for Birmingham)

Back on topic. We need:

When: A fairly small date bracket to help determine who is coming, then narrow down to the day.
Where: What city we will meet in: probably cast from a vote.
Who: Who can make it:)

That order seems to make sense. The date is the most important thing, cause then we can all argue about where we are coming.

Also, if we are going to a place that you know very well, get a list of activites - places to go and do things - for the whole group and post them! There is always time to go see places =]

Hope to see you there,

It's funny that you mention Manchester. I remember last time you were the only person who opted for that location. I'd personally say Brum or London, since that's where most people seem to come from.

Count me out anyway, I'm not going to the UK this winter.

Actually, I opted for Manchester as well, because that was where I was based! But of course, I will be at home by then, unless it's held before the 20th of November...which is before school holidays anyway. So obviously, no me this time (breath a sigh of relief people, I can't attack you with an umbrella if I'm not there)

December 16th onwards for me. Only Birmingham possible as I don't care for London. Maybe before then if we have the meetup at plymouth, Devon :D

I opt for one in Rhode Island, America. Do I hear any yeas?
Edit: Oops, I read the topic title as "Ichigos meetup" instead of "England meetup."
I guess that kind of ruins my joke. = \

Yeah. Us UK residents are racist like that :) Especially to Americans :P
I'm not even sure if people will bother this year, Who would want to meet the same few people again really?
Guess I wait and see.

I only mentioned it 'cause Han did last time, and thought it as a Major city too.

(Okay, and its less than 20 miles from me :P)

Yup thanks for the ever-needed backup =P

So Han, you coming if its Saturday the 22nd?

EDIT: Or after Christmas? (If you celebrate it :P)

I can try for 22nd December. You never really know such things.

Last time we met in January, and that was okay too :)

I'm gone again after January 4th

Well thats problematic.

We will have to see everyone else... but we have to do everything to get you to come too Han!

Well so far it's just myself and the young jaso ;)

You can call me Jatzo in real life if you want. Because I call you by your real name. Though my stupid accent makes no difference.

I'm getting the feeling Jaso and Hantony are going to be the only two people at the meetup.

At this rate... yes....

I'm sure we can lure some people out of the woodwork. Afterall, I have candy.

Candy?

Depends on my financial status and if you can drag anyone else out of the wood work. Since i can base myself in London, hull or Sheffield i can get to most places no problem.

final year of degree...busy.......*enough said*

Well this doesn't look good this year.

First year of degree :P

First year of GCSE's. I'm still just a kid :think:

If the meet is in Birmingham then I will be there

if it is anywhere else it depends on money- i have music college auditions coming up and will most likely be a bit skint x_x

i should get my audition dates soon anyway so i can at least let you know the days that i cant do =]

*snatches candy*

*crawls back into nice warm woodwork*

Thats a possible 4 people now.

This year's looking bad. I want to meet all you bastards sometime, so you'd all better keep these meetups going until I can afford to fly over to the UK. = \

I'll let the terrorists know your coming.
The year is young. plenty of time to lure people to a meetup.

*brings out the pepper grinder*

if that isnt enough, i give up on any further luring attempts =P

*returns to woodwork to plot*

well, Han's banned so I guess I will make a vote. Birmingham. Its easier, even though I love London (minus the guys that tried to blow us up).

lol well im alright anywhere- still havent had my audition dates but im assuming thats because of the postal strike and i will be getting them soon- i will let you know when i get them anyway (Y)

looks like there are only a possible 3 of us then =0 thats like the first meet when there was just me, spoony and angelic OMG that was almost 2 years ago now; i really didnt think id known some people on here for at least that long!

Han is banned? *doesnt ask* i didnt know!

Han says: If it ends up just being a few people we could just go to someones house and play computer games for hours on ennd.

Jatzo says: Yaaah =]

Thorn says... *TBC*

So what about PFT? He could come?

Otherwise we invade Thorns house :P:P:P

lol! whaaa?

well if its free then go for it =P

For reals!? wow... I want to go Birmingham again... they had those alcoholic ants... smirnoff spiders... and clothes... and.. stuff.... wow, I liked it last time...

lol... you get bored of it when you live there ¬¬

Lol, well when I met up with Maz and DB, we ended up at his house, so it's not THAT unconcievable if there's only a few of you :P

Wow, totally. Well, I mean, if Thorn is up for it :P

But it is nearing mid-october and we have like one month to go. Lets throw some dates around, hm?

rantan is still in the UKs???

No, I think she was talking about what has already happened, yes?

i wish they'd hurry up with my audition dates x_x

Audition Dates? @_@

EDIT: Okay my school dates are 24th December until 4th of January... wow... how erm... tight. I hate schools. erm... I can make any other dates if they are saturdayds (which most meetups have been Saturdays) or otherwise, I think I am out :(

Well... Uh... yeah, I AM in the UK still (or rather, I'm back now), lol. I don't go home til the 20th November. Except for 2 weeks in the middle where I'm running away to France and Austria...


And anyway, that has NOTHING to do with the meetup.

...quite. So its definately Birmingham.

Do you think it will be easier to be after Christmas? (for me, its only possible);.

To narrow down, my possible dates are..

15th December 2007
22nd
23rd
27th
28th
29th
30th
31st
2nd January 2008
3rd
4th
5th

Dates might change this week, but are otherwise finalised.

Hope that help? Slightly?

I think... I will have to narrow it down a bit further too...

lmao ive got one out of six audition dates ¬¬
well its a start
8th November x_x
people couldnt do that day anyway haha

i dunno if auditions will have finished by 15th Dec but the rest are fine
maybe we should have a January date again?

Sounds good. I'll triple check on Januarys., but I can make......

5th,
12th,
19th,
26th January, (Saturdays)

plus: 3rd 4th Jan too I think.

January. 5th at the latest for me from those dates suggested.

Ah, he lives. So, Thorn, 5th January?

Give him a few weeks to find out when his things are. Then he will know his ideal dates.

auditions will be over and i will know the results of 75% of them by Christmas, so yeah that date sounds fine as far as i know!

So, Birmingham, 5th January. Good. Thats the projected time/place/

Sounds fun ^_^

wait so who is going for this?

The four of us... if you are coming.

hmmmm. not sure

Nobody seems all that interested so lets just call it off, unless anyone objects. Double the efforts for summer though!

indeed this is seeming bit thin on the ground

Okay, we admit defeat.

But summer has to be london!! I get a double vote next time.

I vote brum \o

Brum or plymouth.

hopefully if my audition tomorrow goes well i will have moved to London by the summer, so my vote would go to either there or Birmingham depending where i happen to be living at the time- i dont usually mind travelling, but i wont exactly have the spare money just before i move for conservatoire/uni

Lol, as if anyone cares enough about Plymouth to go there :lol:

It's only a 204 mile drive from where I lived in Birmingham :heh:

Waste of time since you're the only one there. Most people are in London or Brum, so let's stick to that :mellow:

...no? XD

We will let spoony pick the location, Angleic pick the date, any locals can decide what we do after pizzahut :3

Yarrrr

...no? XD

We will let spoony pick the location, Angleic pick the date, any locals can decide what we do after pizzahut :3

<_< Suck up.

Jaso feels left out :lol:

They have the longest distance to travel and it gives them the insentive to turn up.

You just scored double ass-kissing points.:bleh:

EDIT: But yeah, sure if it gets them here.

You just scored double ass-kissing points.:bleh:

:huh: Missguided boy. Violence youd get you b&

You just scored double ass-kissing points.:bleh:

EDIT: But yeah, sure if it gets them here.

Jaso, you're making a total arse of yourself. You could just step out and scream "I WANT ATTENTION" to get the same effect with less effort.

Whatever.

So after Easter will probably be best time to begin planning, since we failed his time. London or Birmingham seems more likely, and I am fairly sure I can make it.

Anywhere is good for me - I live big cities! But I would very prefer London again.

I hated The Tube though, it made me feel sick x_x

Well, it helps if you don't go in the wrong direction XD The tube's a hell of a lot better than a lot of other mass transport systems, and at least it's fast - remember that bus ride we took? It would have taken MAYBE 15 minutes on the tube. *cough* I'll do away now, because unless I somehow come into a very large amount of money in the next few months, I certainly won't be coming (and I never DID get to meet Angelic or Spoony, dammit!!)

indeed, poor rantan. either place is good with me.

@rantan, if there was a Australia meetup..:shifty:

Have they tried an America meet too? I think I heard of a 2005 one...

(Otherwise I made it up @_@ )

Some of them managed to meet up at one of the anime conventions, I believe - I know Gand met, umm... BlackRose I think, or one of those other people who have disappeared in the past few years

@Meim: we're always having Aussie meetups XD Remember, a lot of the Aussies knew each other before the forums, so we see each other :P and Inu met Spiky a few weeks ago - and Inu and I have met Talon a couple of times, and we've all met Zeus! One of these days we'll get all the aussies in the one place at the one time though XD

Round up all the Aussies in England? Heh, that would be great fun... and great expense.

Well, for now, lets wait to see what comes up closer to our Ichigo's England Meet, 2008 Summer!

Um, no. Round up all the Aussies in AUSTRALIA. And Kou, and Meim if she wants to come over from Singapore, and anyone else in the general Pacific area XD

I am so broke maybe I can go next year......end! XD
