    Readingr & Didache meet up!

    Hi all .. this afternoon Readingr (Roger) met up with me (Didache = Mike) for lunch and a beer or two in London. Hopefully this will be a bit of prelude to a wider UK meet sometime after the summer.

    In the pic that's me on the left and Roger on the right.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Yep, I'm the ugly one :lol:

    Good to meet you Mike, sorry I didn't have time for some photography, but had a conference call on the train for an hour and then when I got back home had another 30 minutes on the phone.

    Hope to meet up again soon.

    Excellent!

    I love it when community members get together in person. Meeting people from the site in person is always nice - especially if you can get out and take some pictures

    I see I'm not alone, and I'm much closer to Las Vegas. But I could go if I win the lottery;-)

    Ahh, Always nice to see two PR members meeting.

    If I'm not mistaken, Sony is having a showoff thing or something in Columbus in 08, If I'm not mistaken. Now I know of two members from Ohio, those are MonkeyWrench (Anna) and TysonLSparks (Newark).

    What we should have done is all gone to the Columbus Park of The Roses. That would have been awesome.

    You should plan your big meet up around the arrival of Rufus. What a party that would be.

    What's his ETA in the UK. We could end up in a Pub all day from what I've heard. Hmmm with our weather could be a good idea.

    Rufus is averaging about a week and a half to two weeks per stop and is 11 members away from the UK. Maybe Christmas time?
