KupoCon Europe - Mind The Pom - March 25, 2017

[RedFFWolf]

Goddamn Red you're such a swell guy. Are you sure you're not Satan? Only Satan would be this nice. I mean, it's ok if you are I won't judge

And yet no one has asked me what the "Red" in my name stands for...
(*Psst* It's actually for the colour my face turns when people like you say nice things like that)

But srsly, I don't think I could accept such a generous offer without being wracked with guilt for 9000 years.

Perhaps I carry something in the region of 9,000 years of guilt and am trying my best to shake off this burden through acts like these. Hmmm...

I will try and meet some of you guys at some point in the future though, Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

And bonus points for turning the end of your sentence into a song; I love that!

You could probably check the "location" thread (I think we have one...?) and see which of the TLS members you live closet to so that logistics would be easier.

Ah, yes, it's a nice thread.

 

[Dawnbreaker]

Thank you for finding it. Perhaps we should move it this area of the forum? Might inspire more Meetups.

 

[Cthulhu]

I think I have a betterer idea, gives us one second.

edit: actually nvm I'm stoopit and didn't realize it was a map already

 

[Flintlock]

I just booked flights for this.

 

[Jason Tandro]

I just booked flights for this.

All you lovely people better take photos and video or something!

I promise to go my usual cam-whore self on The Big Pom. Also I will take a lot of photos.

 

[RedFFWolf]

Anyone who takes photos or videos of me while and if I have to present something, give a speech, or do anything remotely "showy/hosty", will hereby be banned from all KupoCon events and my hotel room.


(Also, great to hear, Flint - I've replied already elsewhere so I'll save saying the same things twice )

 

[lithiumkatana17]

I want to take not only my camera, but a small video recorder my mom gave me a few years back and use that to record heinous amounts of TLS shenanigans and, coupled with the photos, make a documentary/music video with FF music into a fantasical magical visual wonder that will enthrall the masses.

 

[Channy]

And I will sit here in the great white north, crying into a bowl of maple syrup.

 

[Jason Tandro]

Maybe in the future there will be a Canadian KupoCon?

Suggested name: Pom Horton's.

 

[Joker]

this could be interesting

and I do have vacation time

hmmmm

 

[Tetsujin]

I just realized the official Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour is stopping in London on the 24th and 25th of March.
Just in case some people might be interested in coupling that experience with KupoCon since the New York one offers a similar opportunity with Distant Worlds.

[RedFFWolf]

^Indeedy. Hence KupoCon are offering 'Shoopuf Passes' - return tickets on a hired coach for anyone going to both

 

[Cthulhu]

Ride ze shoopuf?

Anyway that'd be neat . Let me know when I should buy tickets and shit. Actually I could do it asap. idk. I'd like to wait for the Murcan one, see if it's anything.

 

[Joe]

Okay who's ready to get organised? First up, who will definitely be staying in a hotel/place in London?

 

[Flintlock]

I definitely need a place to stay for the night of the event, 25/03/17. I'd be up for sharing a room at the Royal National hotel with other TLS folks because it's prohibitively expensive otherwise.

 

[Cthulhu]

I'll do whatever you guys want to do.

Unless certain someones prefer something more one-on-one private and shit if you know what I mean

 

[Joe]

You. Me. Honeymoon suite.

 

[RedFFWolf]

I have an Anima ticket that was for someone else who can't go anymore, so I'm happy to sell it and the evening ticket for at least 50% off the whole lot.

 

[Cthulhu]

You. Me. Honeymoon suite.

@Red: I'm always up for a discount . Also given how those seem to be sold out atm. Are they transferable though? Also is that the UK or US one? (if US, never mind )

 

[Keveh Kins]

I for one fully intend to crash in the cheapest ass hostel I can find

 

[RedFFWolf]

@Red: I'm always up for a discount . Also given how those seem to be sold out atm. Are they transferable though? Also is that the UK or US one? (if US, never mind )

They are indeed transferable, and it is the UK one. T'was how I've been doing those giveaways last year: I bought 'em all, then changed details accordingly. All I would need is your full name, email address and t-shirt size - and that'd be that sorted.

I for one fully intend to crash in the cheapest ass hostel I can find

You coming? That'd be sweet. And also rather hilarious that after the many passing comments to each other about meeting up one day, being in the same county and all, that we'd end up meeting in a different country.

 

[Joe]

So I'm up for staying in the Royal National hotel the night before and night of the event (24/03 - 26/03) as I'd like to be there on time the morning of and cba going home after the event.
Do these two days coincide with anyone else's planned dates and, if so, wanna get involved?

 

[Cthulhu]

Eh, sure. I don't have any plans outside of the event yet though, maybe some people will want to hang out afterwards.

 

[RedFFWolf]

I'm not sure what way I'll be doing things yet. I've some people to meet up with unrelated to KC, but I'm not sure whether that will be before or after the event, but I'll be at least one night in the Royal National Hotel (likely the Friday night, mostly for all the prep work and whatnot), and perhaps even the Saturday night, too.

Gonna try finalise things this week and then book everything. At least fights will be about 1/10 of the price in comparison to going to Newark

 

[Joe]

Eh, sure. I don't have any plans outside of the event yet though, maybe some people will want to hang out afterwards.

I'm always up for hanging. And beer.

I know Flint said about staying the night of (not sure about the night before too) and looking at their rooms it seems three beds is the top limit of what's available. I'll hang tight to see Flints plans before moving to book something.
