Created : 08 August 2010
 

First (unofficial) SoCoder Meetup Convention!
Yesterday was the first successful SoCoderphon meetup-a-phon! Those attending were:
  • JL235 (me)
  • Phoenix
Thanks to everyone who attended!

It was held in the ancient city of Canterbury in the UK. First we got some lunch:

I also showed him around the University campus:

and a nearby Norman Castle.

We then went off for a quick pint..

... which turned into several ...

(you don't wanna know what Phoenix did to the trollies at Morrisons).

So we went up a big hill (it's a local landmark):



Later we got some chips:

and then Phoenix went home:


The first (unofficial) SoCoderphon was a big success!

 		.. I DO want to know what Phoenix did to the trollies at Morrisons!

Looks like you had a great time, although I'm not sure about your new camera, DD.. It makes you both look really young!!

 		I think I'm all alone in the South East of the UK. Only ever knew one other Blitzer down here, lost contact with him 6 years ago.

 		I'm also in the U.S.

And to be fair, i've hung out with someone from Blitz stuff before (actually, he was from Blitzcoder, so it might not count!)- actually had him live with me for 2 weeks, so i'm wary of the 'first' in the title

 		I'm not sure if Psychic Parrot was Scottish or not but that's the only one I can think of that starts with "P" at the moment.

 		I'd be up for meeting again, but it would depend where. I nominate Jay's house!

 		Or we could just all wait until we die and go to hell. We can meet up there.

 		That's a stupid idea, CR..
Some moron would cling to life, and make us all wait around for 50 years.
