Don't worry Greece, you're still invited to [EuroPAX]!

edited April 2015 in Social Entropy++
Eurovison is over, so the promised EuroPAX 2013 thread has appeared!

Last year a number of the most wonderful forumers out there decided to gather together and spend a weekend in the wonderful city of Edinburgh exploring castles, eating burgers and experiencing culture. It was really a good weekend! So good that some of us want to have another go

So, lets talk Europax III: Electric Burgaloo'aloo

Where shall it be?:

Bristol!
By Virtue and Industry

Staring longingly at the south coast of wales, Bristol is one of the nicest towns on the west coast. I've never been there, but all the people I know from around there are really quite nice.

But when?!

5-7 of July!

Who'll be going?

Green has said they are coming and are ready to party
Orange probably will but needs more details/just needs to confirm
Yellow is fairly interested in coming
Red has no interest in hanging out with us plebeians :[
Magenta has made their intentions towards us somewhat unclear
Blue wants some attention


What'll we get up to?

Depends on where we go, but last time we did pretty much the entire shibang, so there will probably be museums, drinks, classy do's and many many burgers.


I'll upgrade the OP when we've all selected a place to go and I'll do the full breakdown of whats on offer and how to get there and all that jazz

    I would like my name in blue please.

    Blue is for special princesses who demand attention for no reason and you should ignore them.

    I will probably be a no for this, on account of being single lone female in foreign lands. But you guys knew that already!

    I'd definitely favor the UK if it would mean that more forumers would be able to come.

    I've already been twice to London but have never been anywhere else in England, so Buckinghamshire or somewhere in the north sounds nice.

    Well the money doesn't help matters but it's mostly just bad timing for me!

    Put me down for a yellow. I'd love to come hang out for a while, but finances are tight.

    Norway is of course good for me, since I live here, but it has the downside (for everyone else) of being about twice as expensive as London.

    Mind you could you use a different colour than yellow? It's almost impossible to read.

    I'm just going to drop this here, even though it's neither Buckinghamshire nor the north and finding inexpensive and proper accomodation might be difficult.

    Also Liiya speaks truth, London this summer is probably not the best idea in the world

    I live in Breda, which is in the south. I have a theme park and a zoo close by so for PAX purposes there would be plenty to do!

    july/august is potentially gonna be a pretty stressful month for me cause I'll find out which schools I get in to and have to visit them and such, so I am gonna say no for now but it's not completely out of the question

    If I do have the time I'd really like to go to the Netherlands and I wanna give out a great big boooo to Sweden and Norway. Boo familiarity boo

    Put me down as interested, but probably unlikely, timing + finances + locations will probably make it tough.

    Unless you just all come to Glasgow. 8->

    I bought a Sweden travel book today to add to my plethora of Sweden/Scandinavia travel guides, then cried into my coffee.

    Somebody Swedish please marry me.

    You guys do this in 2013, and I'll be there with bells on :)

    I'm planning on being in France around this time next year, so hopefully it'll line up!
