Pfft, this talk about fastfood joints. Here in Rotterdam we have slowfood hamburger joints, where the burgers are made slowly and with love. Don't care really how they make it, but it is fucking tasty. Slowfood is king.

And I propose to do the joint meeting in Rotterdam. I am going to be the only one that shows up anyways, so might as well do it in my toilet!

Let's see, Belgium beer...Fat Tire?

Shame on you. There is only one Belgian beer and it is Chimay.

I would give up everything if provided a daily supply of Chimay, which is probably what the monks who make it did.

Yeaahhhh I'm a bit weary of hamburger restaurants...  I went to this so-called great burger restaurant in Antwerp once.  I would have been better off going to the McDo's.  It was slower alright, but the burger was also way overdone.

Whilst travelling I have at times been reasonably close to some of you here but that was mostly before I knew you (or before I knew you long/well enough).  I was for a few days to Charleston in summer 2008 which is close to Travo, in Denver two years ago which my be close to Raven, I visited NYC twice where Leo is and spent time in the NE of the US in 2011 which is where a few of you here are based.

Anyway, like Iga said, I'm happy to meet anyone really if/when chance brings us near.  I'm also happy to plan and work toward a more organised bigger type meet where there's a bunch of us though it's more expensive, difficult and - let's face it - less realistic.

Don't know where I will be travelling next (in fact I'm broke after my winter escape to Cape Town) but Australia is a place I have been thinking about more and more so if this happens I'd love to see Foolz and Aspro.  Ontario Canada is a place where I have close family whom I somehow never visited and I may one day decide to do so before they get too old.  If/when I do, it would be great to meet Yoda for tea and chat etc.  Europe is easier.  I was in London in December and there was a time when I was there several times a year (in fact I will definitely be back there in January 2016 for a wedding).  If GG wants to meet, it can happen.  Also Belgium or the Netherlands are also nice and I would come there.  Just don't ask me to go back to the cesspool that is Amsterdam and to the non-city that is Brussels.

NYC is close to me but it is still pretty far about a 5 hour trip one way.

Archie's here, too.  Further north than I am, though.

Correct is correct, no matter how it is achieved!

I'd drive to the state capital (Brisbane) to see you Bugsie have some beers and hang out around town... absolutely if any of you came to Australia.  It's about 3 hours away but I'd love to meet any of you. Au is a BIG country, so a lot of people who come here are like, "Can I see you?" Which is kinda like someone arriving in Paris calling someone in Scotland saying, "I'm in the neighborhood can I drop by?" Hope that makes sense.

It absolutely does, I understand.  I was already aware of that and I wouldn't expect you to take a flight to Melbourne in order to meet up.  If/when I finally come to AU I will make sure to spend time in both Melbourne and Brisbane (and I will also try to fit in trips to Tazmania and New Zealand if it's at all possible).

I met a couple of New-Zealandese people once in Firenze.  They were physically incapable of orienting themselves within any larger city or mass of people.  Basically they spent a helluvalotta money to hop on and off tourist busses.

Firenze was considered a large city?  I went pretty much everywhere on foot during the few days I was there (and I imaginary climbed onto every rooftop and stuck my secret blade into the throat of any cunt that looked at me the wrong way!)

The food was nice, the restaurent decor was decent. But there is a bigger better Dim Sum place closer to home so I use that instead.

That's what Vader looks like?  LOL LOL LOL

You sure you just didn't share lunch with someone who worked there?  His clothing seems to match the foodcourt's colouring a tad too well.  That or he's actually our era's Link.

God, I hate how foodcourts never became a thing here in Europe.  Sad

Also, Vader, no offence intended, I just went into some sort of hysterical reaction to seeing you for the first time.  You don't look as happy as your Mii.  Nyaa

I'm glad to see you two met at a safe place, full of people.  No rape whatsoever.  See, GG, how it's done!
