GBAtemp Meeting in London

Hey everyone, fellow tempers!

We've been planning a meeting for a couple of weeks now.
Only, the meeting topic was posted in the staff forum which is obviously a problem for non-staff members willing to come and join us.
So, in this topic we'll discuss what we're going to do, what time we meet and where.

Where?
Well it appears that the Victoria tube station is a good place for most people, so we'll probably just meet there at first.
It's recommended for anyone to have an oyster card or something that allows you to use the tube on an unlimited basis.

Who?
Confirmed members to come: Costello, Little, shaunj66, dice, the teej, Thug4L1f3 (& Mrs Thuguette), jaxxster
Likely to come: moozxy, inf, Hadrian
Probably won't come but you never know: ShadowXP, xcalibur

When?
Well if you haven't noticed the topic description, it's on November 29th (next Saturday).
As for the time, well it depends on when you can make it.
Apparently 10am at Victoria tube station for the earliest, then we'll see about the others later?

What?
- Definitely bring your DS and games or flash cart.
- We're going to the Trocadero (a 4-floor arcade)
- We'll probably have lunch somewhere, maybe dinner too in the evening, depends who's still around
- any suggestions?


--- extra question: can I come too?
well if you're a long time member and think you'd feel comfortable hanging around with us (a bunch of 20-30 yr olds), then feel free to join us! It's gonna be fun!


Photos will be posted in another blog post after the meeting!
See ya all!

I know I can't come, I'm in Australia, but quick question:

Would you guys mind a 13 year old turning up there?
 
I wouldn't mind personally but it would probably feel uncomfortable cause the youngest person in the group so far is like 20.

They can sit in the gutter outside and beg for booze money.
 
I would very much like to come but I am in London the following Thursday for a concert and at £25 a hit + tube + pub + a reasonable likelihood of some tourist stuff that would place serious strain on my fun stuff money supply.
If I know someone heading that way (it being a Saturday means it is not likely) I will do my best to appear.

Failing that I worry about Nintendo black ops teams, almost the entire GBAtemp upper echelons (aside from the real boss naturally) in a non-clandestine meeting this time. Brazen guys, brazen.

Haha... thanks a lot Hadrian :P
 
I will be at Victoria TUBE (not coach) station at 10am. I will be standing at the BOTTOM of the elevators that lead up to the food terrace. I will most likely be with Costello as he'll probably be the first there, or maybe Dice. Or maybe I'll be a loner.

If you are DEFINETELY coming, and would like my mobile number for the meet up, send me a PM asking for it.

Hope to see some Tempers there! :yayds:
 
You should do it in Holland once.

No, really, I mean it.

Like, Amsterdam is cool.

And you don't have to be 21 to be allowed in a "pub"(we don't have pubs, we do have, café's? Is that an english word? :P)

You may even go in there, and drink fanta.

If I had a little more money, and if it was announced a little earlier, I would have come.

You can be any age to go into a pub as long as you're with an adult, though some will only allow under 18's at certain times. You do have to be over 18 to drink booze though.

Sounds like fun, too bad all the fun stuff happens in Europe. Not enough long time Canadian members here! Maybe I'll fly to Toronto and track down ScuberSteve and Ace Gunman :ph34r:

Being in Europe doesn't help that much either :/
