Stockholm - and an impromptu micro-meet
Santragenius V Started conversation Feb 16, 2012
I realise that the last time I met "somewhere" with just one other researcher, I named it a mini-meet. Today, we just touched on that nomenclature - is a mini-meet two or at least three meeters? Or, is a meet with just two participants a micro-meet? Let's settle for that.
Whatever it was, today over lunch a colleague was mentioning that he had been staying at a hotel in central Stockholm and that (insert widespread and wellknown hotel chain here) had a few of those.
A bell slowly started to swing somewhere in the back of my mind and after some time met with something else and a nice, satisfying "doiiiiiinngg" came out of it. Like in "Hey, I know someone who works at (insert ...etc)!"
So I texted Ti and let her know that I was in Stockholm with a little time to spare towards the end of the afternoon. And lo and behold, Ti could shuffle bits and bytes and year-end numbers and what have you around and away.
So we've just had 
* at a nice café at Centralen, the central station in Stockholm, accompanied by a good amount of chatting 
And even if it had the side effect of thinking "why am I not packing to go to Manchester 
?**", it was really, really nice 
-----
* Latte macchiatos, in fact
** Because I already have been on two w**k trips to a total of three countries this week and have a UK trip planned week after next and ... and the family actually also carries a little weight still in my life

It's always nice to meet h2g2 friends, even if it's only for a and a bite.
If you're ever in Frankfurt again, let me know.

aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggh, you had to remind me of the Man-meet 
I so wanted to go - and for so many good reasons - but like you I have other things to give priority to also 
oh well, it's not the end of the world and maybe in a year from now I will only have myself, my family and my 
to give priority to
