Six degrees of SDN: Meet ups...

I thought it was "All Roads lead to Rome" IB of course if they had it their way the Chunnel would have been completed a few centuries ahead of schedule, darn Roman legions, had to make sure that everything was connected by roads.....

All motorways, railways and flight routes lead to London.

Plus it's warmer.
Yeah, but keevan will have to go further, and look ->

I side with IB on this one, London. It just makes sense, plus I've never been to London before and I wanna go to Camdon (sp?)! I'm sure IB knows why I'd wanna go...I think she would anyway...to Camdon I mean

Nah, London would be cool, unless its in July, wont be in the UK anyway, so it's all somewhat irrelevant, but I have a burning desire to see Mornington Crescent, IB would understand...

Mornington Crescent, HOORAY!

Which is in Camden, so that's OK.
I shop there regulary, Dorsk.

not as much as people seem to think. getting to london is actually quite cheap... costs far more for me to go north of birmingham than to get to london, course.... i live just 45 minutes drive from london

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2004-01-08 03:57pm

I'd be ok with London. When? London is actually easier to get to for me than Manchester. Flights to the mainland cost a tonne no matter where you go.

What i meant was isn't London mopre expensive in general, as in drinks cost more and stuff?

Zac Naloen · Post by **Zac Naloen** » 2004-01-08 03:59pm

depends, it costs exactly the same where i live as in london.

However manchester i *think* is slightly cheaper.

you know lodging in Vegas is really cheap (if you don't gamble) and flights are pretty reasonable.

If we rolled into the Star Trek Experience with 2 dozen sd netters led by Darth Wong himself the chances for debauchery would be wonderfully high.

Yes, yes it is. And crowded.

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2004-01-08 04:05pm

Getting to London is easy via the East coast mainline, 16 quid for a single with GNER. What date are we talking here? Just on the offchance I can make it.

I might be interested in a Baltimore-Philadelphia meet, time permitting.

Dorsk 81 · Post by **Dorsk 81** » 2004-01-08 10:40pm

Oh great Mods, may we have the UK meet up stuff split to a seperate thread to avoid confusion?

Gil Hamilton · Post by **Gil Hamilton** » 2004-01-08 11:42pm

Actually, I may well be in Baltimore in a few months for a convention. Might be able to meet up with some SD.nutters there.

Damn. Ah well, I still may have to either steal or "borrow" yours...or buy one myself...

So London is a yes? (Vote now!)

Next thing we need to decide on is which month.... I have no preference, just soon. Just because I'm getting bored in little old Devon...

Mr. Wong, please wire me the money for a round trip plane ticket from Orlando to where ever you will be... and make it Vegas, there is a ranch I've been meaning to visit there.

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2004-01-11 03:40pm

Would July be a good time for the UK meet. During this time i like to keep my head down becauyse of the marching season, so if i can bugger off to England for a week or two that'd be peachy.

InnerBrat · Post by **InnerBrat** » 2004-01-11 03:45pm

I plan to be out of the country for about three months in the summer (probably July-Sep, but maybe Jun-Aug). Can we do earlier?

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2004-01-11 03:49pm

I'd have to see what i can do. My office is at it's peak just before the summer.

El Moose Monstero · Post by **El Moose Monstero** » 2004-01-11 03:50pm

Well, I can't realy do any earlier than July, so you'll have to count me out on this one, people, have fun...
