If the applicable part of our country were the size of a postage stamp, like yours, we might have done something already. :p

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
I didn't mean the whole country is, but you guys all seem to be in at least striking distance of London, whereas those of us in the States are sprawled out over a few thousand miles of land.  We can't all just hop on British Rail and get to where we're going in an hour or so.

Who's arounf the Golden Horseshoe area? I'm thinking that Montreal would be a good bet for many New Englanders as well as some Canadians. Maybe New york, or Boston?

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
i think the most pressing thing right now is just picking a location!!! :p

seriously.

next is pick a date - far out (a good 4 or 5 months or more) so we can all work on transportation, perhaps carpooling, etc.

i think it would be awesome to spend 2 or 3 days hanging out with people i've known on the forums for the last 8 or 9 years.  Perhaps bring our computers with so we can have a nice LAN :)

Some of us have some beastly (or just big) rigs. Mine is no light-weight now... between the Corsair 750TX, Scythe Infinity, three hard drives, and the naturally heavy steel chassis... mine doesn't fly well anymore. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
Yeah, we talked about you, Su-tehp, my brother and I meeting up in NYC. ;) How could I forget the story of you wandering the halls of Penn station with a hand-written sign that said "HLP" on it like some sort of bum who couldn't spell asking for help.

With a Hawaiian shirt, of course. Can't forget the Hawaiian shirt. :p
