gather participants for the first 43T european meet-up

Hia,

I am from Turkey and would like to participate for such an event, have a tea or beer :)
And call for others to come and be more cheerful :)

too much going on in my life (none of it positive) to find time to organise this.

...so I stopped helping gather and even blew off the event. Hopefully there will be another in the EU soon.

but couldn’t be there myself
argh… wish i was

I’m including my favorite photo of the event, the one that will prove to the world that Casey drinks from giant glass buckets.

This is the second meetup I got to attend, and both times, it was gratifying to discover that 43-ers are just as fantastic in person as you hope they may be. As was the case in Montreal, the only regret I had by the end of the night was that I didn’t get to meet and talk at length with everyone in attendance. There is never enough time, never enough open chairs.

The fact that such fun and engaging people use the Robot Co-op websites to affect significant, positive change in their lives is a cause for celebration if I ever heard one. Thank you so much for coming, everyone. I loved it.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

cool!

life has gone tits up this week. I’m lying in bed feeling ill and my mobile phone was nicked the other night. I’m sorry guys I’m not gonna make it to London now.

I wonder if we should preserve the event for history – it would be nice to film some of the entertainment and I can edit it down for the web. I’d suggest posting it to Google Video and you could all embed it in your websites and blogs if you like.

It would be nice to get the braver people to say a little piece to camerea – how far they’v travelled, what they’ve thought of it so far, that kind of thing.

Here’s one I made earlier : http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=8172901888607850922

Anyone have any objections…?

The meet is tomorrow!

I am packed. I am ready.

Wow. Some of you guys are real, with actual bones and skin and stuff, and tomorrow I get to check. Wow. Surreal.

Accommodation crisis here averted. I have a hostel bed. Now I can get on with going squeeeeeeeeee! Three days to go! Three days to go! Three days to go!
