That's the most likely travel destination for me in the near term, actually...

Hehe, exactly what I thought on the way back home: damn, again no picture.

But it was nice! I'm happy I didn't stay home.

I will be around if you want to meet up for something to eat or a movie.
My last train is at 23:00; I wouldn't mind meeting up with you and - if he's free - AdamH during that 5 hour period, which for London isn't a lot of time I guess.

I will be free at 18:30 tomorrow so I can come and meet you. I work in the South Kensington area, so I can get to most places in Central London within half an hour. How about meeting at Tottenham Court Road or Leicester Square at 19:00? I have PMed you my mobile number.

Alright, great. Let's say Tottenham Court Road then. I can recognise you from pictures in this thread, but I'll text you in case I can't find you. I suppose we can get something to eat, if you'd like.

Are you going to join us, AdamH?

Gershwin · #2136

Don't forget to take any pics, guys!

Carmel1379 · #2137

That’d be embarrassing for me... But I’d be looking forward to joining you at your next Dutch meet-up though. 👀

Anyway, thanks Chris for showing me around London, that was a lot of fun.

Sorry, I just saw this post now. I haven't read this thread for a while. Easier to send me a PM next time because, unfortunately, you don't get notifications when someone quotes/mentions you.

I should have PMed you. Sorry Adam.

I had a good time meeting Carmel. We tried to get into a cinema to see A Quiet Place, but it was sold out, so we went to a Chinese restaurant then walked down to Westminster and along the other side of the Thames to the British film institute. I do have photos of us both outside the Prince Charles cinema ("official home of The Room in the UK"), but Carmel doesn't want his photo on here, so instead enjoy these photos I took during our walk:

Trafalgar Square

I'll be in New York, two weeks from today. Anybody available to meet up on the 5th or 6th of May?

Hi Chris - I could meet Saturday, 5/5. Not sure Film Co-Op is open on weekends. Here's what's going on at Anthology Film Archives http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_s ... wing-49119

I could also do the afternoon of Friday 4th if I moved things around a bit. The films showing at the Anthology Archives don't look too interesting.

Friday afternoon/evening might be better for me.

Here's what I'd be interested in seeing, if we go to Film Co-op (all Brakhage)

Shores of Phos: A Fable, The
The Horseman, the Woman, and the Moth
Scenes from Under Childhood Section #3
The Animals of Eden and After
15 Song Traits
Scenes from Under Childhood Section #2
Scenes from Under Childhood Section #4
American 30's Song (not sure if available)

Not sure if all are available - some might be too faded to show, if I remember correctly from last time.

There were also a couple I wanted to see:

Evil of Dracula, Martha Colburn (1997) [2 min] - Not an official check, but horror and only 2 minutes.
Condition of Illusion, Peter Gidal (1975) [32 min] - On the Brief Encounters list

Can you do the booking?

New Yorkers / east-coasters: I'll be in New York from September 21 to likely September 27. Afterwards I'll be in Washington DC for two or three nights before heading onwards to Virginia until October 6.
If anyone is interested in a meetup during that time let me know. Cause I'd sure like to attach some more faces to the usernames.
I've heard great things about Local Heroe's New York trail of tears walking tour. That sounds like fun to experience. ;)

Film Co-op has a screening already on Friday May 4th, so they can't accommodate us. And now my cat adoption and rescue group has been invited to participate in Jackson Galaxy's Cat Camp on the 5th and 6th, so it looks like I won't be available at all that weekend

Fergenaprido · #2147

I'm travelling through Europe again this summer, but it seems mostly to places with no forum members: Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Estonia.

I'll be living in Estonia for a month, though, so might head over to Helsinki for a weekend, and I plan to visit Stockholm after. Looks like there are a couple of Finns and Swedes around. If anyone fancies a meetup, or has suggestions on great film-related things to see in any of those places, feel free to PM me.

Hi Dutch people of the forum!

I happen to be in Amersfoort for work from Okt 8 to Okt 12. Most of my days I'll obviously be working, but on the off chance that someone is close by and wants to grab something to eat or have a drink in the evenings let me know.

wOOt! That's awesome! I assume I'll be too tired on Monday evening, but I should be good to go on one of the days from Tuesday to Thursday.
Also, I'll assume that the company that hosts us will organize a dinner at least one evening where I kinda have to attend, but I don't know any details abou that yet.
We'll be staying at the Mercure Hotel Amersfoort Centre. No idea how convenient the location of that is to get around.
