EoFF World Meetup and Live Ciddies! - London 2016

[Sephex]

Man. I would love too. And a lot can happen in two years. If I have the money and the means, then yes. I never been out of the country (though I have traveled all over it), so I think I would like to do it. So I guess put me down as a vague maybe?

[Shorty]

Wouldn't the US be the more central location for aussies?

It may be, I said I didn't really know in the opening post, haha. I hope they can make it.

Let's just go to disneyland and make shlup gets us all in.

[Shorty]

Quiet, you've never been to California.

I want to do this, and I'm going to start saving. Had this been brought up a few weeks ago, I wouldn't have gotten a PS4, haha.

There is a high likelihood I won't be able to due to various financial things coming up for me, but I'll be saving back money every paycheck and hoping I don't have to dip into that money for any reason. I've never been out of the country, so this would be fun!

I just looked on google maps and arbitrarily judged that they seemed similar, don't be rude!

I need to speak to Daniel first; all I did was send him a whatsapp saying "hey PS world eoff meetup and live ciddies in 2016" and he said "ok" before going to bed, so our fearless leader needs to come in here and have some input (it is likely to remain in the UK unless he says otherwise).

[fire_of_avalon]

I know what shoes I'm going to bring.

[Shorty]

Maybe people who can't make it to the UK can have a US meetup somewhere and have a viewing party of their own?

but still try to come to the UK please World meetup and all!

also hey now I make no promises, Daniel is the awards guy I have no say in anything

[Jiro]

Either option is ridiculously overpriced for Australians. My flights to Denver cost $3000, a trip to Edinburgh would cost around $2500. That's not really plausible for me. I can't speak for any of the others (and I can't say what flying from NZ would be like) but as in most cases, we're paying around double. So unless one of us suddenly strikes it rich, I would not expect any of us to be able to attend, let alone donate to the running of the event.

And guys, really. If you put back $10-20 every paycheck, you could probably pay for the costs in two years. I know it's not feasible for everyone to do even that, but you're thinking a chunk sum of money instead of thinking about the fact that we have at least 25 months until this happens.

I don't see a paycheck until I made one-hundred dollars. Ad clicks on my blog generate anything from 30 cents to a dollar per click. In the past two months I only made thirteen bucks total. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer either or complain, and I'm probably worrying over nothing like I always do, I just don't want to set myself up for disappointment. I tried finding a job that pays minimum wage and I have trout to show for it. This family holds together solely on Social Security checks and my mom's job which she could lose any day now because she's over 60 and her employers are assholes. I'd rather assume I can't go now and be surprised later than start saving just to find out I can't go.

[Shorty]

I am going to send out a survey asking if 2016 or 2017 might be more feasible for people. I will also include the option for maybe people who aren't having to travel if they would be able to donate.

[Pumpkin]

We could maybe set up a few more local meetups and do like some webcam stuff between them so maybe more people can be included?

I dunno if that sounds like a dumb idea or if its feasible or not, but it could be an option.
