Finnish Bitcoin community coming to Stockholm - meetup?

[D.H.]

I'll write this in English so that our Finnish friends can understand it. Technomage has organized a cruise for the Finnish Bitcoin community and they will be in Stockholm on the 25th of November (a Sunday). Sounds like a great oppurtunity for a meetup. So, who's interested and how can we organize it?

From http://www.facebook.com/events/436383989752089/ :

"The ship is Silja Serenade and it'll leave Helsinki in the afternoon of the 24th (Saturday) of November and it comes back to Finland in the morning of the 26th (Monday). So it's two nights at the boat and one day in Stockholm.

6 people have confirmed and bought tickets already. One can also participate in this event by helping us organize a meetup in Stockholm. We're very interested in meeting Swedish Bitcoin enthusiasts."

Someone noticed! Great. A meetup would indeed make sense, I've been to Stockholm too many times to sightsee so I'd rather use that time in a more productive way.

 dammit I am in Scotland on Sunday
I would have loved to come otherwise.
Best of luck though!

We have now 8 people confirmed for the cruise. Hopefully we can do the meetup thing.

Yeah, I'd be interested in a meet-up.

Now we just have to find a good place to be, of course some bar or restaurant might do, but if we could find somewhere a bit more private that I think that could be better.
Do you Finnish guys have any other plans for the day?


And to DeaDTerra, it's November 25th

I don't think we have any plans in Stockholm otherwise. I speak for myself only on this though. But I think that everyone is free to meet you guys.

[DeaDTerra]

I don't think I will be able to make it as it crashes with my plans to go to DreamHack ^^

Hey guys,

I'm in Stockholm and would like to join you as well!

Have you thought of any place where to meet yet?

And what time on the Sunday is it that you arrive in Stockholm? (in order to know if we should chose a bar of a cafe...)

[D.H.]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it.

[riX]

Oh, so it's basically me, limikael and the finnish guys.
Let's hope two swedes are enough to keep the language understandable. =)

They're travelling with Silja Serenade, arrives in Stockholm at 9:30 and departs at 17:00, so a café is preferential to a bar..

I just put this on the meetup page http://www.meetup.com/bitcoin/events/91721832/

[limikael]

Alright, I joined the event there!

So what's the plan? A suggestion is that we go and meet out finnish friends when they arrive with the ferry, then we take them to some cafe in the Södermalm area, possibly cafe string which has a downstairs sitting area... If it's not too crowded, but in that case there are other places nearby...

Yeah, something like that. I basically don't know any cafés or anything in that neighbourhood, so your suggestion sounds good to me.

[Technomage]

Cafe is a good idea. Meeting at the Ferry is okay as well.

Meeting in Sweden starts at 10 local time at the terminal. The day is Sunday of course.
