Some of you might know me from planning the 2010 and 2011 (unofficial) meetups and from attending the 2011 one.

Now I'm sure some of you will complain about the 2011 one, but there were people there so it was a meetup.

I'm about to suggest that we do one in 2012, like a few weeks after I arrive in Ireland.

EDIT: since Joe is such a naysayer, I will proceed to give you an example schedule.

A simple meet up at a Cafe, a meet and greet of sorts. Let people arrive and introduce themself.
After that, short sightseeing of Dublin (lovely place. beautiful river).
15m recap at Cafe to allow people who got lost during the tour and other people to join in again.
Pub hopping?

I know of an arcade is central Dublin so we should probably switch out the recap at the Cafe for that (if there's interest).

After pub hopping I know of a decently good place to eat and if you're looking for accomodation have a look at Abbey Court (quite cheap, several bunk beds in a room. has showers but no hot water).

How about in here ?

I'm not a naysayer - it's Ireland. And I have no money.

this has been proposed before and i dont think it's gonna work.

alot of people have no money, and if they do, do they want to spend it on a short trip just to meet a bunch of strangers?

+1

but are we really strangers, huh?

yes, do you know someone's parents name? what they do? if they have pets? etc etc.

At least for Europe Dublin is the logical choice. It is the hub of ryanair which is the dirtiest and cheapest flight "service" available.

But I probably won't make it. Even if I had the time,being in arms length might be just to tempting for some community members... ;-P

People are Strange...

for me, it would be a looong trip...

It's becuase you can't go isn't it ;-)?

I'd like to go, but yeah time, money and all that stuff. If you got a date and place I'll at least consider it though.

well yeah i dont have the money for it, but even if i did i probably won't go either.
though i do know people in england which i could also see afterwards.
but to go especially for some people from here? does not sound convincing.

How do I know you're not all a bunch of axe murderers, hmm? :p Mind you, I'm American and underage anyway...

The thing to keep in mind is that we would never axe-murder each other, only outsiders.
