StarZander Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hey everyone, I was thinking recently how difficult it can be to come across people who really love games and their music. I mostly meet people who perhaps play Halo, but have never heard of Monkey Island for example. I'd like to meet some people who love all games, and especially someone who likes OCRemixes. Haven't found even ONE yet. So... Where better to look than OCRemix? I'm calling out to all the Swedes here on the forum (I know there are quite a few of you) or maybe even some from other neighboring countries, who knows, to get together and maybe have a beer together or something. Something simple, just to meet and talk and have fun. So, anyone out there interested? UPDATE: Okay, we've decided preliminarily that we'll meet sometime during the weekend of May 6-8th. Anyone wanting to come should write in the thread, and we're open for suggestions on what to do when we meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a little silly, since I don't drink. Still, I'm interested. Stockholm is probably the best place for any Nordic meetup (except for Icelanders). *Maybe I should get a boat instead of a car? When I can afford my own transportation, I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hehe, well, a beer was just a suggestion. If you have any suggestions on what you'd be interested in doing, and find worth coming here for. I want as many ideas as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I could combine this with a trip to visit my grandma... if I can leave work and stuff for long enough. I know we had a thread for something like this before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarZander Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Well, you know, according to google maps you can cross the atlantic with a canoe. I might be able to provide that for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroZ Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Im up for it, but it must include beer and cake. cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chernabogue Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 An European meetup? Yeah, but too far for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Come on, there must be more interest than this. Although, I don't really care if there are only 2-3 that meet up, or if we're 20, but the more the merrier, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhny Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 European meetup: yes please Stockholm: probably too far for me, but it sparkles interest. Let's see where this is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Im up for it, but it must include beer and cake. cake. Shouldn't be too difficult finding some delicious morotskaka in Söder. Now replace the beer with a lovely lady of scandinavian descent and we're in business. An European meetup? Yeah European meetup: yes please Also, I luv how a Stockholm meetup somehow got derailed into an European one. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 A European meetup would be cool, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's just have a meetup in Stockholm with anyone who can come. Btw, I think the kladdkaka in Gamla stan is a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'll be in Göteborg from September to (presumably) June, so I might be able to join you if there's a meet-up next year too. And even if I'm the only non-Swede there, you won't need to switch to English, unless you speak otroligt otydligt. Or skånska. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This thread is attracting more non-swedes than swedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 All the more proof that Sverige is awesome. =D Also, this is a good excuse to visit Stockholm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 This thread is attracting more non-swedes than swedes. Yeah, I'm pretty surprised about this actually. So there is noone that wants to meet up that actually CAN meet up, in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolt Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Even though I'm more of an OCRemix lurker (probably because too lazy to join discussions). I'd be quite interested in a meet up with fellow OCRs. Tho, currently residing in England, so a day visit to stockholm might be maybe bit silly. Swedish language is no problem for me. BORK BORK BORK!

StarZander Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 I must say I'm a bit disappointed. I thought there would be much more interest in this. Alright... How about this... First round of cake/beer is on me. Try to say no to THAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Sweden is "Spaghetti-Western Europe" now? Anyway, Mokie, about the "lovely ladies of Scandinavian descent"... go anyplace they serve beer (this is where they hang out, also most of them are a lot more fun when they're drunk), make sure to let them know you're from anywhere in Western Europe (including current or former colonies thereof, such as Australia or the USA), spaghetti or not, and they'll be like moths to a flame. Anyway, I'm down. I'll even pay for my own ticket, unlike some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarZander Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Anyway, I'm down. I'll even pay for my own ticket, unlike some. Alright, cool. Maybe we should set a preliminary date? I guess on some weekend or something, a weekday might be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Just about any weekend works for me, I would think... as long as I get to hear about it a few weeks in advance. Oh, and I'm busy on Valborg, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarZander Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 How about some time during the first weekend of may? 6-8th of may, that is. Not sure which day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
