We can use this thread to discuss a date and a location.
Somebody proposed 2nd of December already. If you want to join us then don't hesitate to post here and also post your preference for the
date.

I only included cities from Flanders because I haven't seen any Wallons members yet. If it turns out that there are more than I assumed, then I could start a new thread.

Greetings :-)

I voted antwerp, it is like 30 km's from here, and i go to school there ...

Greats

pey · 11-09-2006, 09:29 PM

December 2 is impossible for me, 9 would be better.
I voted for Leuven because I live there, but I can easily go somewhere else and even take some other people from Leuven with me.

Lieveke · 11-10-2006, 09:16 AM

If it's 9 or 10 dec, i won't be able to make it.
Perhaps a later date then?
Or we could meet in november?

24th or 25th of November are also good for me.

jeroen51 · 11-11-2006, 09:51 AM

25th is fine.

pey · 11-11-2006, 12:58 PM

25th is ok

Dukie · 11-12-2006, 09:16 PM

25 is great for me too!

I guess Leuven seems te be the place to be

Not too close to where I live, but I think it will be worth the drive!

Lieveke · 11-14-2006, 07:37 AM

So can we say the meetup is for the 25th?
And if so, thoughts on time? Evening, late afternoon?
Specific place?

Lieveke

Yes I would esp like ideas from people who are from Leuven. I've only been there a couple of times..

I prefer, but do not demand

, a place that is not too noisy or crowded, where we can have a drink and chat comfortably.
If the weather is nice I wouldn't mind a walk in the city :-)

Seconded.

I don't know, but my guess is that on a Saturday, Leuven shouldn't be too crowded, since the majority of the students went home.

Are there any non-Belgians coming?

On the contrary, in the weekend we locals come out to shop and party

So still crowded.

Around the square in front of the station are a few pubs that are not noisy and where you can talk, and it's easier for people who want to come by train.
What do the other locals think?

Peter

Lieveke · 11-20-2006, 06:59 AM

Hey,

I think it's a very good idea. It's easy to find, to get to, and for people by car there are parking spaces below the square.

Let's say at 20.00 near the monument?

Lieveke

Niki · 11-20-2006, 09:46 AM

Hey, somebody got some ideas what we can do ? Or what we can talk about ?

I will probably be there , my train is in leuven @ 19 u 55 .

Great that you can make it!
I'm not sure what to do yet, but I have a card game called Boonanza should be much fun. I haven't played it yet, but it has a good reputation of getting strangers to talk with each other. So... that's an option :-)

Who else is coming?

jeroen51 · 11-21-2006, 04:06 PM

Played it last month. Brillant game. Really easy once you get the hang of it. And since there will be veg(etari)ans there (at least one in any case): what better subject to talk about than beans?

Monument at the station at 8pm. on Saturday. I'll be there.

Is someone going to wear a T-shirt with "I love Steve"? Could be practical, but I'm not volunteering.

pey · 11-21-2006, 08:17 PM

I'll be there too!
How do we recognize each other? Password "Steve"?

Let's meet at the station side of the monument near the stairs to the parking, that 'll be easier to find each other.

Dukie · 11-23-2006, 11:33 AM

Monument station side it is!

So that's 6 people that are coming. I'll probably bring a seventh too. Can't wait

Lieveke · 11-23-2006, 12:00 PM

i'm so excited!
I've never met any other people who are in PD.
This is going to be an interesting night

Lieveke

strayhorse · 11-23-2006, 01:53 PM

I won't be able to make it unfortunately.

It would be lovely to read your reactions afterwards

Anyway, have a great evening and untill another time

astray

darkmoon · 11-23-2006, 10:25 PM

Same here, wont be able to make it...

Somebody should take some pictures and put them online!

Ok, everybody going to be there at 20:00 tonight?

Could someone who is from Leuven PM me his or her mobile phone number so that I can phone in case I can't find it?

Francis

PS: If I'm in a good mood I might perform some card tricks tonight :-)

Dukie · 11-25-2006, 04:12 PM

I'm still going to try to be there, never been to Leuven by car, but things will work out I guess.

I'd like to be able to call someone too if I'm not there on time. Not sure if someone can still pm me a mobile nr. It would have to be within the next half hour

Gerto · 11-25-2006, 08:11 PM

Too bad I only joined this forum today

Maybe I'll be able to come next time as well.

Dolazy · 11-26-2006, 10:06 AM

I liked it! I felt really good when driving back home

I really enjoyed it too! I did feel a bit of hesitation during the meeting and we didn't really discuss any subjects in depth, but then again, there's always next time

The hesitation was to be expected, but I think we managed well. I too would appreciate some more in-depth conversation.
Maybe we can prepare some open-ended questions for next time ...or I could always bring The Book of Fabulous Questions! :-)

Greetings,
Francis

Lieveke · 11-26-2006, 06:32 PM

Perhaps next time we can try do make a topic list for things to discuss?
That way it would ease the conversation.
But we certainly broke the ice
