If anyone here is willing to make some sort of a meetup somewhere at sometime, I'd like to know.
Next one is SLA Glasgow (not sure I'll be there), then SLA Edinburgh (I'll be there and I'm kinda counting on Maxon, Arby and Reevo to be there as well. Maybe Stu?), then London Expo (we usually meet at the Fox Pub on Sat Afternoon) and last Hyper Japan (Although, now that I think about it, the only one from the Forums I've seen there is Yuna Girl, who isn't really active around here anymore)....

I'm almost exactly the same in real life as I am on the forums anyway. That said, it is usually easier for me to get on with people better in real life, as they realise that all the bitter and twisted things I say are said with a pint in my hand and an incredulous grin on my face rather than the defiant crossed arms and pet lip which I think a lot of people on the internet tend to presume is my attitude.
That's not true. IRL he looks like a cereal killer.

It might be nice to meet you all. But then again it might be awful. There are definitely certain individuals I'd be infinitely more up for meeting than others, it has to be said.
I'll assume you're talking about ilmaestro and Zin5ki, I know it's always a pleasure to meet me! =P
Anyway, you're right. Leeds have been quite disappointing last year and this one

Those who go to Expo have tended to try to arrange informal meet ups with the others, some of which sound as though they were quite successful. I'm personally content with sticking to everyone's text-based identities, so nobody ever realises I am actually an AI with no physical body to begin with.
I think that since we setup the first one, we have been doing it every London Expo. I usually attend all the main anime events of the year (London Expos, LFCC, Aya, Minami, Kita, Ame) and I help organise (or disorganise) part of Hyper Japan and Camcon.

Most meet ups will be too far away for me to attend - as the majority of people here live in South of England and I am across the border.
Glasgow or Edinburgh SLA next month?

There have been meets on AUKN since I organised the first one back in 2006, or maybe it was 2005? We had a few expo ones and a few non-event ones, and they were all awesome. I still have the videos taken at them on mini cassette from my digicam somewhere. Shame that of all the people who attended those meets, I am the only one who remains.
Since I joined, we never had one that wasn't a con or expo.... Cons or expos are good, because people usually travel to the events anyway.
Rui said:
Mutsumi succeeds in sounding very ominous...
Because most people from his generations disappeared. And he only goes to Minami.
Rui said:
I think there has been at least one mini-meet in Scotland before, possibly at one of the SLAs.
Twice actually, on the last two years.
Zin5ki said:
I attend meetings on a biannual basis to coincide with the Expos. Because Otaku-san and I are most weary of the costs associated with bar food, we are known to consume our clandestinely-carried personal rations at such events. (He once gave me a toffee.)
I remember the toffee. I've got one too!
BlackWolf said:
Having said that, I have spoke to a few people on here over the phone. Apparently I don't have much of a northern accent.
It's true. He sounds speaks like the Queen.

It be nice if we could you know.
Do you go to any event I've mentioned? If you do, we could arrange that....
