h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If you'd like the French Meet to take place on that week-end, vote here.

As of today (22 December 2012) I can do all of the suggested June dates.

That is: 8-9, 15-16, 22-23 or 29-30 June. The holiday weekends are all really early next year, finishing with Corpus Christi on 30 May. (It normally falls about mid-June)

I'm going to cast a vote for this weekend, 15th-16th June. It avoids all the Joan of Arc difficulties, plus, it's my birthday.

*buy candles and matches*

I have finally managed to get hold of the people who actually organise the Joan of Arc thingy. They say it'll be on 1st/2nd June.

Two votes for this one.

me I vote for this one

That makes three votes, so we now have a tie : 8/9, 15/16, 22/23.
Which will it be?
... Or would a maxi-Meet over the three weekends be over the top?

Just posting to officially cancel my first vote and vote for this one.

Hey, it's a Northern Ireland tradition. "Vote early, vote often."

I know the list on Frenchie's meet page is really long already, but have we reached everyone? I am thinking of Gnomon, who would normally at least try to come, but hasn't cropped up on any of the threads so far, and there may well be others....

I'm not sure, but these threads have been up for five weeks now...I'm thinking more people will say if they're coming when the date's decided.

As KB says, the threads have been up for a while, and the one on Ask has bumped to the top quite a few times, so short of actually going from personal space to personal space for targetted advertising....

... Maybe if we ask nicely, the h2g2 Communications people can make an announcement?

Pierce the says he hadn't heard about it. With him, though, I'm never quite sure if he's not pulling our legs.

Well, at least I hope he's not pulling both legs at the same time!
Then again, if they're not subscribed to Askh2g2, it might be possible.

So... where do I find the h2g2 Communication team's address, then?

Might be worth putting something in The Post?

In fact, I'll do that if you like, since you're doing everything from interrogating Joan of Arc organisers to finding out when everything is open!

I've dropped a message on the h2g2 Communications Team's PS.

Shame on me, the Post hadn't even crossed my mind.


Oh, the Joan of Arc organisers weren't too hard to question, once I'd found them. All I had to do was produce a box of matches, and they answered straight away!

re 12:

pulling legs? moi?

seriously though, I really had not heard of this, so thanks for telling me

and on third attempt the link you threw finally w*rked

I still wonder, though. I used to be subscribed to a thread that notified about every meet-up

I just noticed I shouldn't have used this thread

answer me in the main thread about the meet-.up if you will

There's a thread that notifies people about every meet-up?!
Where?!
