ECAC 2014

Post by puny »

so, me and matti is going too patiently sit on a plane for a insane amount of hours to cross the atlantic at the end of this summer. (mid august-september somewhere)

hopefully Lou will be our gracious host for atleast a number of days

i'd like whip together a little alfacon and meet more (alfa)people at some point of the trip, possibly rent a cabin somewhere close to something fun to do as they did the last ecac? maybe something different, i'm not picky, for as long as i don't have to camp outside in a tent.


who's in? anyone having splendid ideas/suggestions?

My suggestion is to move the venue to New Zealand.

Other than that, have fun.

Last one where we got the cabin was really fun, largely thanks to Heero being awesome.

I would definitely be up for it again no matter the venue, if you will have me. I'd like to sit at Matti's feet and be in awe of him if he would allow it.

Meeting Alfans offline is always scary. I've never met a Swedish one, that must be even scarier. I think I might try it if it works out. You could camp in Central Park.

im insanely harmless and matti is just made of pure lovely win that doesnt bite =D
i can testify, that most swedish alfans i've meet are super easy to hang out with

i could try to speak some super lame/anti-intimidating dialect, which do you prefer?

im pretty sure he's humble enough to be a little ill at ease with sucha blatant display of admiration, my word of advise, sit at the same table and talk nerdy about beer

That sounds good. Harmlessly insane works too. I like non-biting Alfans.

If I don't make it, you guys should swing by New York. Have you been?

Also: Do the Gothenburg dialect, please. I wonder what it sounds like in English?

As some other vaction plans of mine has been foiled, I am now reconsidering this option instead.

puny: do you have a more exact date and how long are we talking?
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

will this hit NYC by any chance? If yes, we can don some LARP gear and hunt dire rats in the subways.

If I'm still around the East Coast by then, I'll try to get in on some of this as well. Let me know specifics when they become available!
