Zurich meeting was awesome, so what the hell, I'll hop on a train and get down there!  :)

Looking forward to meeting some genevoise bitcoinières! (Fun fact, the Genevoise was a short-lived currency in Geneva at the end of the 18th century!)

Possibly indeed. On a weekend I could probably get a ticket for a reasonable price if done in advance. Do you have a date fixed?
Weekend in Amsterdam sounds good;

Yeah, 4-6 April

Without me then, I will be traveling in Vietnam on those dates :)

Edit: Will gladly join you for round 2 in the summer;

Could someone please livestream (http://www.ustream.tv/) the 'meatup' for us netizens who want to attend virtually?

I'm planning on being there. I don't know about livestreaming. Probably there is no wifi in the pub. 3G might not be strong enough (certainly it'd be very expensive to stream via 3G).

I'd like to be there... but I am not sure I could get my financial stuff in order well enough to be able to afford a train ticket in april :)

So... most likely, I'll have to wait for round 2.

Actually it's a hackmeeting on the 4th and a conference on the 6th:

Worth coming to the hackmeeting IMO if you can make it.

Will be there too!

Looking forward to the movie;


How will we recognize ourselves? Bitcoin logos on the tables?
Anyway, I will try to find you between 4:30 and 5 PM today in Lord Nelsons Pub.

How did it go?

It was a great get-together and we are already looking forward to the next one.

We really talked about 3 hours about bitcoins, and we could have gone on much longer...

The only thing that was disappointing was that we could not pay our 20+ beers and applejuices with bitcoin in the end  ;)

We may delay for a few more days so that the website can launch at the same time. I'll write a more in-depth post about launching the video in the animated movie thread later.

The movie is excellent, extremely professional. It's absolutely the best candidate to win the bounty.
