It would be nice if there was a meet in the UK somewhere other than London. ie further north which more people can get to easier and cheaper.

Fair enough. Would Manchester or Birmingham be easier for people to get to?

I´d like to suggst a Nottingham meet up. It´s a great city and is right in the middle of the country so people could get there from all over. It´s also well connected with rail network.
There is a lot to do there - ice skating, theatre, sports events, shopping, museums etc. etc. so people would have a choice.

Just as an idea, what about Saturday 28th June ??

Would anyone be interested? :lol:

I would like to register my interest of possibly attending any meet based in Manchester, or preferably more towards Yorkshire.

Yep...
But most members haven't pinned it.
There's quite a hottie near me in Gainesville... though I've never figured out if she's actual member here.


Just pinned it. I'm in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Lansdale's my mailing address, but technically I'm in Montgomeryville.

^Pardon if I ask, but you seem like a otaku.
You going to be in Baltimore soon?

I've never been to Otakon, but always have wanted to do so. I used to be more into Anime back in H.S. and college, but life has kept me too busy and too broke to keep up with the old hobby. I went to college for Liberal Arts, Japanese Studies if that gives you any clue. ^_^

I do have a tattoo of Otacon from Metal Gear Solid on my back:
Image

My latest obsession is Doctor Who. ^_^ I liked the classic show, but the rebirth has kinda reawakened my interest.

So, when is the next Otakon? Maybe my husband and I could make some time to finally friggin' go. It'd be neat to meet up with a WPer too! Is Otacon purely anime, or is it a mixed sci-fi/anime/video game/nerd fest?

Nice looking tattoo. :)
Who is Otacon with anyway?

The date for next years hasn't been set yet.
Though the convention is mainly anime, it has become more of a general geek fest overall now.
It's the kind of thing I imagine most aspies would have an interest in(cept for the crowds perhaps, but it comes with the territory).

In reference to above, you are indeed imagining. Some of us do have an interest in anime, but I don't think "most" of us do. I, for one, do not.

Something as simple as a restaurant would be a good place to meet.

I am still looking forward to meeting some of the WP members in San Antonio in a few weeks.

Otacon is with a modified characterization of Shiva from Final Fantasy. I draw my inspiration for my "Ice Goddess" persona from her. My husband looks a lot like Otacon, so for a wedding present to him, I got the above design permanently inked into my skin.

I'm always up for a geek fest. When there's a date, PM me. We'd love to go. I'll see if I can get my hubby to dress up as Otacon. ^_^
