Right. We've discussed it before. We've said it would be cool, one day. We've told ourselves we'd get around to it. Well, **** that I say. Lets just do it.

With Steak's freedom about to be harshly curtailed (), we're running out of time before being "responsible adults" catches up with the majority of us and we never again get to do anything fun. Ever.

So. In 2006, we are going to get all the Aussie HLP regulars (and whoever else happens to be around) into the one place (prolly Sydney) at the one time. The only debate is going to be when, and where me, Grug and the other interstaters are going to stay.

And one thing - I'm serious about this. If you want me to put it another way, I'm going to the East Coast some time next year, and if we don't plan it, Steak, Grug, VA and whoever else I can find are going to get a seemingly random sandgroper knocking on their door saying "Hey" at some inconvenient and difficult to explain moment.

[EDIT] For the record, I'm thinking Semester break would be the best time for this, even though it will mean inflated ticket and accomodation prices. I have 2 Tuition Free Weeks from the 17th to the 28th of April, but the chances of that being synched with everyone elses schedule is, I suspect, pretty low. My forst semester next year finishes on the 23rd of June and starts again on the 31st of July, which I suspect will be easier to fit in. So, who else is coming and when can you come?

The smart thing to do would be to coincide this with Steak's wedding, as there'll be free alcohol.

 Lol.
And for the record, where is ausse? N.A., Euorpe, ****ing china, where?

[Ransom]

And for the record, where is ausse? N.A., Euorpe, ****ing china, where?

It's a continent. There's only seven of them, it's not that hard to remember them

I'm not completely sure when I'd be able to come, but some time after May could probably work. I'm not very organised at the moment so I don't really know.

[achtung]

Lol.

*snicker, but still sigh*
Sadly, I fear that most Americans would wonder the same thing...

Not true!  I was one of the best in my geography class.  Name a country, I could tell you where it is.  It does, however sadden me that close to 10% of our own students don't even know where some of our own states are.

[Darkage]

Already been to a meeting with people from the Eve-online comunity in Austria last weekend:D

Was great fun:D

[Goober5000]

Name a country, I could tell you where it is.

Somalia.

[Flipside]

Thaty one was located in the **** last time I checked

Well, wrong side of the planet for me alas, still, want to go to Aussie one day if I can ever afford it

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

Name a country, I could tell you where it is.

Somalia.

If you're serious about me answering, upper East Coast of Africa.  Borders the Indian Ocean (Gulf of Aden, if I remember) and Ethiopia.

[Goober5000]

Oh, very good. Did you have to learn every country?

[Jetmech Jr.]

Steaks getting married?

Well...looks like I'm more out of the loop than I thought.

'Gratulations.

[Corsair]

There's a thread about it somewhere here...

[ToecrusherHammerjaw]

Oh, very good. Did you have to learn every country?

Not all of 'em, its just when someone mentions one by name, I tend to know the general vicinity its in.  Its sort of an inborn thing.  Plus, I study on my own time, as I plan to go to Europe, the Far East, and possibly New Zealand and Australia someday.

[Setekh]

I'm totally there. I've gotta think of where you can stay - my house is full of bachelors at the moment (my dad and brother), so if you're looking at midyear next year, I could take a few guys. Physically speaking, that is. Gotta clear it up with the family.

I'm also going to be far more free in that midyear time btw (June-July) - towards the end of July I'll probably be away for a week; I'll get you some exact dates.

Steaks getting married?

Indeed. Thanks. For the thread in question: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,36865.0.html

Congrats Steak!:D

We already had an international HLP meet-up, with me, my brother (Splinter), Galemp, and Su-Tehp in downtown NYC. Was fun. Especially the part where we saw Galemp walking around Penn Station with a cardboard sign that read "HLP" held up to his chest - I can't help but wonder how many people saw him and thought that indeed, he really DID need "HLP".
