One thing: if you're not coming please don't even bother posting here. comments like "what a good idea, wish I could come" are nice but please keep that for the general chat thread, okay? Thankies ~

For me and Spoon the 9th is pretty much the only date available, so tough cookies XD

Madmazda86
May 28th, 2005, 10:56 pm
It would be possible to make a date during the week though if it turns out more people can come during the week ~ See what kind of response we get :)

PFT_Shadow
May 28th, 2005, 11:00 pm
lol, a week day would rule

Thorn
May 29th, 2005, 10:17 am
If i can think of a way to get to London, then i'll also be there :) (well..if i can think of something to tell my parents other than "im going to meet people from the internet" then i'll be there)

Hmm...I'm meeting a girlfriend during that weekend possibly. I'm not sure what date on that weekend is free but if I am I'll meet all you guys there. Weekday is more preferable like Pft Shadow said. I need to check with my mate though first. I'll get back to you ASAP. :unsure:

Spoonpuppet
May 29th, 2005, 12:04 pm
Well, 9th is pretty much the only date of the weekends, I think.. :think: For Angelic and I that is.

Thorn
May 29th, 2005, 05:27 pm
Well, 9th is pretty much the only date of the weekends, I think.. For Angelic and I that is.

how about 2 meetups then for those who cant make the 9th??

Spoonpuppet
May 29th, 2005, 05:57 pm
We can always do a weekday, I was just saying that that was the only weekend we could do, since my dad's coming the weekend before, and Angelic's leaving the weekend after.

Madmazda86
May 30th, 2005, 11:01 pm
A Sunday is possible too, but not as many places will be open if we ended up going shopping - though it looks like me and Spoon will be the only gals along at this rate XD

Spoonpuppet
May 30th, 2005, 11:14 pm
I think so maz, I think so. XD

an-kun
June 2nd, 2005, 09:53 pm
Okies! I am officially NOT free on the SUNDAY. Any other day seems ok. I'll update you lot if I get stuck with something else on another day though that isn't very likely.

Madmazda86
June 4th, 2005, 03:49 am
Ok, so you're alright for Saturday 9th or a weekday? Awesome :D

Theshadowofdoubt
June 6th, 2005, 09:53 pm
I want to come! But sadly can't unless I take out cash from meh bank and book a ticket for london. Help if you can. Maybe kill the pilot and make a stop in michigan?

an-kun
June 7th, 2005, 10:17 pm
Okay...updating! My friend is organising a birthday party during that week so another day might be taken up. I'll prioritise this meet-up though probably but I'm just wondering what a rough date for the meet-up is? thanks in advance.

PFT_Shadow
June 8th, 2005, 06:52 am
weekday is still best for me

Madmazda86
June 8th, 2005, 10:07 am
Alrighty... we haven't had the most gigantamous response in the world XD Two people have said that they would prefer weekdays, so say we shifted it to... Monday 11th or some time during that week? What do people think? :think:

an-kun
June 8th, 2005, 10:45 am
oops I didn't realise what week it really was. Yeah the friend's party thing was the week before so no probs about that. I'm still good to go apart from the 10th.

Thorn
June 8th, 2005, 10:52 am
I can probably come whenever if i can think of a good enough excuse

an-kun
June 8th, 2005, 11:08 am
I have to come up with one too XD.

Excuses:-

Say there's an anime convention or some sort of festival thing in London that you want to go to.?

um could say there's a class reunion there?

Maybe your friend has an audition for a play or music thing and he/she wants you there for moral support?

you met someone at a uni open day that you've been in contact with and you're meeting up with them in london?

my girlfriends pregnant and she's in London hospital XD joking!

Can't think of anymore right now for you Thorn. Hope at least one of them is good enough although i don't recommend the last one.

Madmazda86
June 8th, 2005, 11:28 am
Or just, "I'm going to London, byeeee!" ;)

PFT_Shadow
June 8th, 2005, 01:02 pm
seems like a good excuse for me

Sephiroth
June 8th, 2005, 01:44 pm
lol lets see my excuse. well im already in a part of london so i'll just say im going out for the day with some friends to inner london. enough said :lol:

I don't really need an excuse.......I'm a man now. rarrrgh

Thorn
June 8th, 2005, 02:02 pm
lol- thanks ppl, the audition thing sounds like a good one an-kun; thats also believable coz my best mate's a musician, i could say he's got an audition for some london music school...

heh- i would just say i'm off to london- byeeee, but i live like 2 hours away and if for whatever reason i missed a train that would get me home for a reasonable time- i'd be in big shit :(

June 11th, 2005, 03:11 am

Zero
June 17th, 2005, 10:34 pm
July 9 ah? Guess I can't make it.

And yes, for people who were wondering, I was actually planning to make the meeting.
Except I didn't know I leave for Taiwan on that very same day. X_X

Have a wonderful time, for me, then. XD
Party hard! :drinking:

Madmazda86
June 21st, 2005, 08:00 pm
Zero, man, if you wanna go along, we'll make it so you CAN! Geez, I don't wanna miss out on a chance to meet you! What day could you make? Like I keep saying, the whole thing's flexible ^_^

Spoonpuppet
June 21st, 2005, 09:06 pm
We need to start deciding things now. (I need to book train tickets and accomodation X_X) I think it might be a good idea to start giving firm decisions now. Say whether or not you can come. If you're not sure, say when you could hopefully find out. If you can come, or might come, then give *exact* dates of when you're available.
*will give own dates in a bit*

Neerolyte
June 22nd, 2005, 05:15 am
wow nice nice
i know i can't make it, my parents will never allow me to GOD NOOO

anyways, HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!! SAFE TRAVELLING there and DON'T GET LOST ^_^

Thorn
June 22nd, 2005, 08:11 am
I'll know for definete after my exams are over (next monday- 27th), but i think i should be able to come; as far as i know. it's in july isn't it? the only date in july i cant make for definete is the 2nd, but any other day and i should be there.

Sora
June 22nd, 2005, 10:59 pm
Take lots of pictures for those of us who really can't come! ^_^

Neko Koneko
June 22nd, 2005, 11:03 pm
I don't want my picture taken XD

Spoonpuppet
June 23rd, 2005, 01:12 pm
Dates in July we (Angelic and I) can NOT make are:

1st-7th, 11th-12th, 16th-17th and Angelic leaves on the 17th.

So basically, the only dates we can make are:

9th-10th, and 13th-15th.

And we're going to stay the night, just to let you know, and those are the only periods of days when we have at least 2 consecutive days free. ~_~

Neko Koneko
June 23rd, 2005, 01:13 pm
I don't favour the 13th - 15th really, cos I'll be leaving soon after that ~_~

Spoonpuppet
June 23rd, 2005, 01:17 pm
Okay, just realised that I can't make 13th and 14th, which means we also can't make 15th. XD So it'll have to be 9th or 10th. We'll be in London then.

Madmazda86
June 23rd, 2005, 05:46 pm
Well, currently I can make the 9th and 10th... but I'm applying for Saturday jobs, sooo, if I'm successful before the 9th I'll either have to pull a sickie or say I can't make it, 'cause if we change it to Sunday I don't think as many people can go :/ If that's the way it turns out I don't mind coming to London one day later on in the summer so DM can make an Ichigos meetup :) See how I go!

Sora
June 24th, 2005, 06:43 am
Come on Angelic, you know you want to... :poke: Take some pictures....lol.

Madmazda86
June 24th, 2005, 07:19 am
I'll be taking heaps of pictures XD I'll just black out Angelic and Spoony's heads :P

Neko Koneko
June 24th, 2005, 08:21 am
You already had one a few weeks ago T_T;;

an-kun
June 28th, 2005, 12:43 pm
Maz:I wanna be blacked out too&#33; Wait a sec, if you get the saturday job then it&#39;s just gonna be spoony and angelic and me...&#33;

Madmazda86
June 28th, 2005, 01:44 pm
Don&#39;t worry, doesn&#39;t look like I&#39;ll be getting one in the next week or so XD

Okay, it looks like a lot of people&#39;s coming will be a last-minute kinda thing, sooo... if there is anybody who *thinks* they are coming but won&#39;t know until the actual day or the day/night before, post here, and I&#39;ll PM you my mobile number, then if you are coming you can send me a text or phone me or whatever so you don&#39;t end up getting left out&#33; If I know you&#39;re coming I can make arrangements with you on where to meet etc.

I&#39;d like everyone to post what kind of time they&#39;ll be getting into London on the 9th, if possible, and what train station or bus station they&#39;re coming into - I&#39;ll be meeting Angelic and Spoony at Victoria Coach station at 10.45am, so other peeps have the option of coming to Victoria as well, or making their way to the nearest Circle Line tube and we&#39;ll do a bit of a round trip to pick everyone up (though that will use up a bit of time) - if you can&#39;t make it to Victoria it&#39;d be preferable for you to get over to Hyde Park Corner, as I think we&#39;re gonna end up having a picnic in Hyde Park, weather-dependent and if everyone&#39;s agreeable. Then maybe after we can check out some of the anime stores around the place.

If we do do the picnic thing, it&#39;d be nice if everybody could bring along something as picnic food, e.g. chips and dip, or potato salad or whatever. And erm, yeah, optional but if you could post to say what you&#39;d bring it prevents us having like twenty bags of Kettle Chips (not that Spoony would object XD)

Thankyou&#33; ^_^

an-kun
June 29th, 2005, 03:01 pm
I&#39;m now free on the sunday 10th. My friend can&#39;t make it so you can change it to sunday if you want.

Madmazda86
June 29th, 2005, 03:38 pm
Only thing with a Sunday is that not as many shops are open, if we went anime shopping... but it&#39;s still a possibility - oh yeah, I gotta PM you my mobile number anyway, an-kun XD Sephi and Thorn, are you guys in the last-minute group?

Edit: Yaaay, I&#39;ve been invited to a party - except it&#39;s on the 9th&#33; But it starts at 6pm so that&#39;s okay, just means I&#39;ll have to leave around 4 which I was gonna do anyway :)

Thorn
June 30th, 2005, 08:34 am
yeah- i&#39;m in the last minute group. i also have a party on the night of the 9th so if i did come i&#39;d have to leave around half 3- 4 too.

Madmazda86
July 3rd, 2005, 09:31 pm
Doodedoo, just posting in here to say that I&#39;m bringing some homemade muffins to the picnic, or just to eat somewhere. We can get paper plates, plastic cups/cutlery etc on the day :) Weather for Friday in London is predicted to be stormy - hopefully Saturday will be a bit brighter&#33;

Edit: And I&#39;ll eat one in front of you all to prove there&#39;s no strychnine in them XD

an-kun
July 3rd, 2005, 09:50 pm
Ok...I might have a problem with getting there but my mum said she&#39;ll prob drive me part of the way. My local railway that I usually get into London with is not operating to London because a bridge collapsed onto it. I should be able to come still but if I can&#39;t then I&#39;ll prob text you maz on the day. there&#39;s a high chance that I still can make it I think but just to warn you guys. I dunno what to bring&#33;? It might be an idea to make a list of who is bringing what?

Madmazda86
July 4th, 2005, 04:06 pm
Well, there&#39;s the possibility that Angelic and Spoon may be banned from going to London :/ They said they&#39;ll let me know ASAP but if that turns out to be the case we may as well reschedule it for when DM gets back ~

Neko Koneko
July 4th, 2005, 10:54 pm
We&#39;re going, WE&#39;RE GOING XD I goofed XD

Madmazda86
July 5th, 2005, 09:30 am
Okiedokes. I&#39;m going to be badly strapped for cash though... hence homemade food donation for the picnic.

Sephiroth
July 5th, 2005, 11:58 am
ok im gonna have to say im extremely strapped for cash as well. as my lilmit may only be 5 quid :( trust me theres no way of me getting more. however travel around trainstations is easy for me as i have a free railway pass around south east england so thats ok for me. see i dont know where abouts to meet. umm the 2 trainstations i can think of is london bridge or victoria.

Madmazda86
July 5th, 2005, 12:57 pm
I can meet you at Victoria train station, then we can go pick up the Admin pair round the corner at the coach stop ;) An-kun&#39;s coming in on the Piccadilly line so we can meet him at Hyde Park Corner, or alternatively Green Park where we&#39;ll interchange to get onto the Piccadilly line ^_^

an-kun
July 5th, 2005, 02:28 pm
Doesn&#39;t matter if you&#39;ve got no cash. It&#39;s just the company really. I don&#39;t have a lot either but I&#39;ll be fine :heh:

PFT_Shadow
July 5th, 2005, 08:01 pm
hope you guys have a great time. i will be unable to make it myself, cash isnt a problem, just getting time off work

an-kun
July 5th, 2005, 09:16 pm
Ok I just told my mum I&#39;m meeting strangers off the net. I can still come, but if any of you aren&#39;t who you are in real life this site is so going down. It&#39;s very suspicious when spoony and angelic don&#39;t want to show any pics fo themselves, even off this site. You can&#39;t really expect anyone to rush off into something when they&#39;re not sure. I know this seems a bit of a weird time to say this, but I don&#39;t want to do something stupid. Just a warning...hope you understand guys.

Sephiroth
July 5th, 2005, 09:48 pm
lol a bit strange there young 1. im sorry i wont be who i am on here. i dont have long white hair and a massive masumune sword but i do however have the extremely long coat.
although angelic and spoon forbid me to wear it <_<

meh trust me all the pics ive posted of an ugly fucker is me although im gonna look like 1 scary mofo when you see me in real life. :shifty:

but meh should be fun ^_^

You don&#39;t have to come you know that? Talk like that and we don&#39;t even need you around.

an-kun
July 6th, 2005, 12:03 am
:o Actually, spoony was the one who instilled that upon me in the first place cos she doesn&#39;t trust anyone. Can&#39;t blame me entirely for my thinking. I don&#39;t think you&#39;d argue with spoony and you can&#39;t say i&#39;m wrong because you of all people should know spoony would be cautious as well if you weren&#39;t coming with her. You can ask her yourself. I&#39;m not saying it to be stupid, I&#39;m trying to be sensible here.

I basically meant, if you&#39;re actually old men who thrive on young children (which is unlikely) I&#39;d be wary and try and shut the site down to protect everyone else. I&#39;m surprised you didn&#39;t understand what I was saying Angelic. :(

Keep treating me like that and I won&#39;t come. That is only your opinion. You can&#39;t say the other&#39;s won&#39;t want me to come just because I said that. I&#39;m guessing you said all that out of rage though (I hope) so I won&#39;t take it too personally.

I don&#39;t want to piss you off. If you really think you can&#39;t handle me, I won&#39;t come so that the others would enjoy their day more. Keeping the day fun for the others is more important to me than me being there. Tension between people would only just spoil the day.

@sephiroth - lol, i look forward to meeting you.


i do however have the extremely long coat.

wear it if you want, I don&#39;t see why people should tell you what to wear. I don&#39;t really like those either, but that doesn&#39;t give me the right to stop you from wearing it.

Man this is lame....maybe I won&#39;t come. X_X <sigh>

Even if we were all old men you couldn&#39;t legally hold the me or site responsible due to that waiver you electronically signed when you created your account. Hope you read it. Don&#39;t make ridiculous threats against the site. If you&#39;re really that concerned about it, don&#39;t go.

You have a point there, sorry about my reaction. I&#39;ll admit I&#39;m and old man though (I&#39;m 20 :gramps: ) so you know that I am who I said I am.


spoony would be cautious as well if you weren&#39;t coming with her.

I kind of doubt she&#39;d come at all =P

Madmazda86
July 6th, 2005, 08:31 am
Okay okay okay, hooooold on people&#33; Just a couple of reminders:

1. This trip is completely optional. Everyone is invited, but if you don&#39;t feel comfortable, you can just pull out - it&#39;d be sad, but think about it, you&#39;re paying what, £6 or more for your London travelcard, so if you don&#39;t feel like you&#39;re going to have a good time then there&#39;s little point in spending the money :)

2. I&#39;d be happy to send scans of my passport to anybody by email who has doubts about my identity - Spoon and Angelic might not be as willing to do this, but I will vouch for them that they are who they say they are. However, if my word&#39;s not enough verification of their identity, that&#39;s okay.

3. If you do come along, and you feel uncomfortable, you are under no obligation to stay - we&#39;re going to Hyde Park, it&#39;s a big place, there are a lot of people around, and if you ever want to get away from the group for a little while you can go for a walk and come back later, and if you want to leave then you can do, and go out for a trip around London before you go home :)

4. I&#39;d like to request that other people going along on the trip do NOT take personally any other&#39;s decision not to come, or to leave early - as I&#39;m the organiser of the trip it&#39;s my responsibility to ensure that everyone who comes along enjoys themselves and feels safe. Everyone is their own person, you can wear what you like, eat what you like, say what you like (though please, nothing that&#39;s too argument-provocative, in consideration of others) and so on.

5. Meeting up with people from the internet is a big step - it requires a lot of self-confidence, courage and open-mindedness, because people rarely act in real life the same way they do online. Please treat the other people who come along with respect - they&#39;ve come along because they want to meet you in person and regard you as a friend. I&#39;ll do my best to make things smooth for everybody and keep everyone involved - I don&#39;t want anybody to feel isolated, unwanted or left out, and I will not be please with anybody who actively directs hostility towards any other member.

6. Please be nice? :heh: I mean, realistically I can&#39;t do anything except show disapproval towards people who don&#39;t behave well - I&#39;m trusting everyone to welcome each other and be open-minded. So long as that happens, we should all have a nice time :)

Laws are above any agreements aren&#39;t they? How can preventing paedophiles from doing what they do be ridiculous? :huh: Oh I see what you mean. Okay, I&#39;d have to treat it as a separate case then XD .

Maybe I shouldn&#39;t have said anything in the first place. I confuse too many people. :(

@ angelic - don&#39;t worry everyone makes mistakes. lol 20&#39;s not old&#33; But yeah, thanks for the reassurance. I feel better about it now. ^_^

@maz - Don&#39;t worry, I think I have less doubts now. You summed up what I thought. Yeah it&#39;s all about having fun.

Sorry to anybody I offended.

Carry on then chaps ;) Meeting times and places:

10.30am: I&#39;m meeting Sephi at Victoria Train Station - Sephi, I&#39;ll be coming from the tube so I&#39;ll wait by the tube ticket barriers for you if you ain&#39;t there first :P If I&#39;m late, I&#39;ll letcha know *sends spook vibes to ONE trains so they turn up on time*

10.45am: Me and Seph will trundle around the corner to the coach station and pick up Spoony and Angelic. Then we&#39;ll hop on the Victoria Line tube to Green Park and change over to the Piccadilly Line for Hyde Park Corner. All being well, we should rock up at Hyde Park Corner tube for 11amish, but depending on who&#39;s brought what for the picnic we may have to pick up some extra bits and bobs at a supermarket or whatever (think there&#39;s one at Victoria). An-kun&#39;s meeting us at Hyde Park Corner I think? :think: In which case we&#39;ll pick him up there.

Just need to find out what station Thorn&#39;s coming in from if he goes *flings an SMS his way*

Maybe I shouldn&#39;t have said anything in the first place. I confuse too many people. :(

@ angelic - don&#39;t worry everyone makes mistakes. lol 20&#39;s not old&#33; But yeah, thanks for the reassurance. I feel better about it now. ^_^

Sorry to anybody I offended.
an-kun: no prob... I just get defensive about the site/forums X_X
angelic/an-kun: 20&#39;s not old... I&#39;m gonna be 24 in a few months... :gramps: now that&#39;s old&#33;

maz beat me to it. i was going to say the same thing. bombs have gone off in transportation services busses trains.

London aint gonna be safe for a while and on top of that it might be a lockdown for a while as well. you can guarantee that they aint gonna be lettin any cars or trains run though today.

but I&#39;ve come up with something. Don&#39;t you find it ironic or extremely close coincidence that the DAY after london gets named as the host for the olympics bombs are goin off.
A grudge perhaps, show that london aint safe and not fit to host the olympics by having bombs go off maybe. do it earlly whilst theres still chance to reconsider

It&#39;s dodgy, I have to say, and it really is a petty thing to do it over - chuck your opinions etc in the discussion thread Mystery Editor made. Crap, I hope Angelic and Spoon can get refunds on their coach tickets X_X

So Maz, you were talking about another meet-up later in the year?

Neko Koneko

That means no Spoony and Angelic though =P

an-kun
July 7th, 2005, 07:18 pm
EDITED because of maz although I did say that it was a shame they won&#39;t come. I was not offensive at all maz. the *=p* said it all and I&#39;m pretty sure angelic would have took it as a joke. Do you really think I&#39;d try to run people down? You mods don&#39;t seem to understand me one bit. That I find dissapointing. Mayeb you guys have a vendetta against me.

Nobody complains when people insult me here. X_X

I apologise for your sake. Sorry. -_-

I get really frustrated everytime this happens. If you really think I meant it as an insult, ban me. That way everyone is happier. But I would like to know if you do intend to ban me first so that I can take down my compositions from the site.

I do see your point though and I stand by my resolve in saying that I didn&#39;t intentionally try and insult people. It&#39;s against the rules here and I try to follow them.

Madmazda86
July 7th, 2005, 07:55 pm
Yeah but DM&#39;s more popular I think with the rest =P

It&#39;s a shame that you two can&#39;t come though.

An-kun, mate, that comment you made just there is very insensitive. I hope you&#39;ll read it over and reconsider it. It&#39;s nice that you think of DM in that way but there&#39;s no need to run other people down in the process :(

Edit: :huh: Don&#39;t apologise just because of what I said - I just said that I hoped you&#39;d reconsider it - if you don&#39;t think you&#39;ve said anything that would offend Angelic and Spoon then you can ignore my statement completely :blink:

an-kun
July 7th, 2005, 08:30 pm
You just thinking that it was an insult really gets me down. I say sorry from myself to Angelic and Spoon.

Ouch, 2005 london meet up is cancelled....f****ing terrorists....*sigh* we gonna move to another location or we just cancel this year&#39;s meet up?

Madmazda86
July 8th, 2005, 09:15 am
There is this:

http://www.ayacon.org.uk/index.php

But it&#39;s in Warwick Uni (near Coventry) so some peeps might find it a bit hard to get to - it&#39;s also slap bang in the middle of the AS/A-Level results which rules out half the interested parties :/ (19th-21st August)

There&#39;s also this:

http://www.londonexpo.com/showinfo.shtml

Which is a bit closer for a lotta people, only it&#39;s in October so lots of people will be at uni by then...

Kinda stuck for ideas besides a picnic/shopping trip in London like we originally planned - I&#39;d say maybe the middle of next week but Spoon and Angelic said they were busy, in which case it would be better to have it of a midweek when DM returns. Any suggestions?

Madmazda86
July 8th, 2005, 09:42 am
*screeching halt* Stooop - just talked to Angelic and Spoony, they are able to come to London on the 15th July (Friday) - anybody up for a trip on that day? It&#39;s during the week so maybe PFT could make it too?

July 9th, 2005, 08:24 am
I know for a fact my parents won&#39;t let me go so close to this happening. And i wouldnt be able to go to the one in august either, because of the A level results.

I could definetely come to the one in October; 29-30th would be in the holidays anyway, so it doesnt matter about uni (unless you&#39;re at another end of the country).

Madmazda86
July 9th, 2005, 11:03 am
I got nabbed for a family visit last night too, so I can&#39;t make the 15th... >.< What we could do then is schedule it for that weekend in October - the London Expo...?

I'm still up for it, though getting away is harder than I previously thought. A weekend would be best ^_^ Tho mind you, I'm not that far from Bimmingham so I could meet you and Spoony at some point ;)

I'd need to get my student railcard before I can consider going. Birmingham would be closer for me as well if it's during uni term time.

i'm the same as ^- wherever and whenever; i was just trying to see if people still wanted to do this (maybe the title should be changed to Ichigos Meetup 2006 so others know its a new one being planned?)

an-kun
November 14th, 2005, 04:54 pm
I think people still want to do it. It's just a case of organisation because Maz did all the organising last time I think. If you find dates and times people are available like last time, then we can do this.

It won't turn out boring- we'll make it fun :)

@ Spoony- I know a good park in Birmingham, about 5 mins walk from the music shop we were talking about the other day....well its not exactly a park but it would be great for a picnic if its not wet.
