Well, since most people are keen on their own area (who says familiarity breeds contempt?) and London seems to be garnering some interest, I'd like to bring Edinburgh to the fore as a possible alternative, with the Book Festival being an obvious pull for forumites if we timed it around then.
It's a city, with a castle and a big hill for climbing right in the middle (Arthur's Seat), with lots of countryside round about, Ghost Tours and Mary King's Close and Greyfriars Churchyard etc. Also, the whole of the rest of Scotland! Can't promise sunshine-y weather, but although slightly colder than London the chance of inclemency can't be too far off. Just thought I'd chuck it in the mix... |

An other idea. Could our meetup become a subforum of Worldcon? And use their hosts and time frame?

Unfortunately, the roundy thing is sharp all around, too. I throw it like a frisbee --- and it always caroms off enough edges to return to my hand! Um, somehow my hand never gets cut, though. Must be magic. Yeah, that's it.

Oooo, Edinburgh! Never been. And it's close enough to ICELAND! and PORTGUAL! and GERMANY! (never been those places either) for me. So, Mindy and Geoff are the hosts? And maybe LazyScot, if he'll get his lazy butt off the couch and get back to.....laying around? (doggie heads to montsnmagsenterprises.com to book flight)

Cool! And did they serve you a meal on the flight or was it just one of those little bags of pretzels or garlic "chips"?
