AG Get-together 2013 - Germany
I would! And I think I would be able to convince Uptimist to come as well.
Sounds great!

I am all for the next meeting to be in Scandinavia. Lena?
Well, we could walk the streets of Norrköping, the town where the Carol Reed games take place. It’s quite a nice town only 40 minutes from my town Nyköping. And it’s really easy to get to Nyköping since we have the airport Stockholm/Skavsta here. The one Ryan air uses.
(Flights from Standstead/London, Einhoven/N.L, Bergamo/Milan, Edingburgh/Scotland, Brussles/Belgium, Hamburg, Bremen, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt/Germany and even some more during summer.
The questions is rather how many are prepared to go ‘all the way’ to Sweden?
That smiley website has become completely unusable thanks to all kinds of popups and ads. Time to find another one

Sounds great!
And your significant other? Will she come as well?
Given you were quoting Lena there tsa, I thought you were revealing some new fact about Christer.
I’d have to look at the practicalities (read, I would have to get Mrs Urhan to look at the practicalities) but I think we would both be up for it.

I’m hoping to find name for game that I played long ago
The people here so well-informed, someone is sure to know
A time machine, grandfather clock, I give it to myself
Oh never mind, the box is sitting there upon my shelf
For real retro gaming nerds, name that game.

If you are not going to fly then

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

She immediately said yes when I asked her, so we’re both in
A prince it is? I see. And I am Lord of this dusty path!
She immediately said yes when I asked her, so we’re both in
Yay! We haven’t completely frightened her off with our weirdness.

Planning a new adventure to Sweden ? I told Matt he said where, I told him and he said um…...ok…..... when he says that it never works out
Lord make my words as sweet as honey, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.
How baby-friendly would this be? And what about Stockholm in general (so I could maybe make a week out of it)???
It’ll probably take a lot of persuasion for the missus, though…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Quite the confidence! But, indeed, this would be the most realistic destination for me, only a boatride away! Or, indeed, a short flight. Dunno which is cheaper…
But, yeah, it’s a distinct possibility, if I have money (and if Luna turns on her charm on me). And I might even have money then.

Perhaps Stockholm is more interesting. Nyköping where I live and where Ryanair lands is in between Norrköping and Stockholm so we could go either way. I’m sure both places will provide activities for us.

I have finally finished the Meet poem. Took a bit of doing this one.
At the get-together three languages were spoken, English, German and Dutch. In this poem each verse has a line in English, a line in German, and a line in Dutch. Whilst undoubtedly not perfect, the poem should pretty much rhyme with the lines in those three languages.

Adventure Spielers Vergadering
From all of Europe, to Germany we go
Nur ein paar, aber wir haben Spaß umso
Neem avontuur grappen naar een nieuw niveau
The place that we are staying is quite remote
Spiele zu sprechen, oft mit einer Anekdote
Op zoek naar auto’s geel geschilderd, niet rood
For food we go a long way in the dark
Zum Abendessen sind wir nicht autark
Zoek een plaats in een industrieel park
Next day more come, one with an early start
Mehr als eine Person mit einem Bart
Met kleding zowel vele gekleurde en zwarte
Then to a town that’s sat upon a hill
Das Wetter ist warm und fast windstill
Kan niet in het musuem. We zijn hier pril
After a nice lunch, we find the castle is open
Schauen Sie sich die Landschaft mit Teleskopen
De daling grote, goed hebben we niet gezopen
Museum of dragons holds us in its thrall
Große Echsen aus großen Stand auf Modellfall
Verliezen tellen, is er zo’n groot aantal
Up Felsenmeer wishing that I was fitter
Johannes einige mehr Wasser bitte
Klimmen is moeilijk in deze hitte
Then food, this time some African cuisine
Das Restaurant ist viel mehr als eine Kabine
Voor na de maaltijd, poëzie routine
Look out for glowing zombies in the trees
Plus viele andere Abenteuer-Spiel Klischees
In het donker de dingen die we vrees
A fun weekend, we are ready to go again
Vielleicht sehen wir uns den berühmten Souterrain
Op de Zweedse vergadering fenomeen

Hahaha that’s a brilliant poem Steve! Geweldig!
And only a few small errors in the Dutch part .
Tell me. It’s tricky when you are working in (two) other languages.

Nicely done, Step!
I commented on the Dutch parts here.
