I'm in! I'd probably be there for a weekend or something, maybe someone has a couch I can defile, but yeah I'm in.

If it's late august that would work. The beginning of September would probably be a bit tough, considering I'm starting my master's there.

i can get up that way on a time scale that lax. cant offer sofa's though as Cornwall's a bit far for that (and land of leather haven't delivered them yet. which might be an issue).

Unless of course you're fit and i abduct you.

A weekend in august sounds great! That gives me plenty of time to set aside money and look for cheap flight tickets. I'm in! Oh, and some sofa to crash on would be great, but not critical for my attendance.

gwiz is coming? I'll stay home for this one then.

^I'm actually very friendly. Very friendly.

stop scaring people. this threads early. that's for later. oh, I mentioned abducting people. Pot/kettle.

I'll go home now.

There's truth in joking.

I can put our names on the military "Space Available" waiting list and pray for a miracle...who knows? I might make it there...getting back might be a challenge...basically, I'll try! I'm up for an adventure.

This would be awesome! I think London is a good pick since it is a European hub that is easy to get to from most places.

I will definitely try and make it over there.

An if anyone ever comes near Berlin in the meantime just drop me a line, so we can have our own little "choggie pronounciation meetup" over here, too.

Some visitor advice can be found here, for our non local friends:

If there's any way possible I can make it there, I'll do it. The chances of it are slim, mind you, but I'll do my best.

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy for a Yank living in Wyoming to fly 5000 miles to a European capital to meet some Sifters, but I might be able to pull it off because:

1. My finances should allow for a European vacation later this year, and
2. I haven't been to Europe. Hell, I don't even have a passport. It's about time I do something interesting.

Like I said, it's a BIG, HUGE if, but I'll see what I can do. If I go I swear I'll dress and behave appropriately:



Can I bring my guns?

*quality idea

Awarding alien_concept with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by kronosposeidon.

Provisionally I'm up for it but I'm a fussy bastard and will find excuses to let you down. And I haven't had a social life for the last six months due to work and that doesn't seem to be changing much.

Be interesting to see what venue might get picked - there's so much choice, it's going to be tough to select something.

But later in the year sounds reasonable.

It's been 18 months since the last one - seems like there's been complete turnover in the sifters likely to attend since, eh?

If I am forewarned about the time I can make it. I need to see my brother anyway.

If all goes right, I'll be in England right around that time. Put me on the list. I'll be the one in the dark corner touching myself and staring at everyone silently (just to keep in character).

I call dibs on AC's couch!

Woahh, sounding great so far. I have some provisional ideas but i'm sure we can all come up with some along the way too. You guys coming from all around are amazing for doing so, it should be a good time Plenty of time til August, looks like that's when we're headed for, yes?

Farhad, what the fuck. If 7 months isn't long enough for you to get ready...

For the record my couch is two hours away on a coach, but i'd be glad to find some industrial size boxes and bring em along, we can set them up on the Embankment, just bring a blanket, hopefully by the end most of us would be too drunk to care Or maybe it'll be a reserved and well mannered get together...

Haven't you heard am a considered a terrorist and all

^ I knew it!

post-august i usually hole up somewhere warm 'til christmas and masturbate furiously, but i'll see what i can do. provisionally put me down for it but just remember i'm a bit of a wanker.

We could all just party at ac's place..

Maybe we should go to like a B&B place or something like it, or hell if it's august we'll just sleep in a pile in the park

If it eventually gets postponed till December, I might just be there with my wife/kidnapped-basement-girl. We already had plans to go to London for this Christmas anyway. I'm afraid I wouldn't make it otherwise.

I'm sorry - I know nobody else can keep gwiz and rasch in line and if I'm not there they'll probably make out all the time.

^ We'll send you a picture of it.

Who will bring the rape?

Uhm.. ac, I think.

Yes yes yes! Count me in.

I'll just bring myself. If rape is involved i'm taking no responsibility

Am stealing everyones identities and stuffing their bodies down some nasty toilet in Swansey.

Hmmmm...

^Thinking of making an appearance, nic? It's right in the neighborhood, come on!

Flaky people...

I bought some powerpoints just to *promote this.

Is this still happening?

Promoting this Sift Talk post - promote requested by maatc.

Maybe I owe you some money back for them PP maatc. As far as i'm concerned I can't be there any time soon. I'm severely broke and as much as i'd like to think I could do it, I know that I haven't even got the spare cash to get up to London, let alone the money i'd need to get obscenely drunk

I'm still totally up for it at some point, can't wait to meet some of you guys! But I certainly won't mind if others would like to take up the helm and do it without me

Everyone come to Canada! We have a good amount of Sifters here already, no?

I would still be up for this at some point. There are many sifters' whose hands I'd like to shake.

I'd go, but none of you greasy Europeans can sleep on my couch.

.

I'm all up for a Western Canada thing... Gotta be Okanagan or Lower Mainland though...
If I remember correctly, You have be diamond to call a sift-up though - not that anyone can stop a public gathering though - we're not communists yet


>> ^EndAll:

I'm in. September would be good.

Cool, how does September 12 sound? I´d leave the pub picking to the locals. Suggestions anyone?
