Thanks to the mod tidying up the thread. Now!
New week, new tidbits to share!
The second public AD meetup I remember attending was in 2008 Copenhagen, Denmark. We first gathered at a dimly lit pub in the city, faced with the dreaded breaking of the ice. Ice was broken. Conversation flowed. Eventually, we transitioned to the host’s house, or perhaps their parent’s house, considering our youthful years.
I am sorry to inform you that there are no massive scandals here, not even necessitating police intervention to regulate the nerdy rebels. When going over the collection of photos I still have in a dusty, browned folder, the most inappropriate incident at the home party was questionable drawings depicting intoxicated states of teensy mind. I’d share, but the blushing would ensue the forum moderation slap on my wrist.
However, to attend the meetup as the wee-mini-me, once again I received care from another guild member who lives in the country. Another person I’m still in touch with, even if they haven’t touched WoW for over a decade. They didn’t like the mämmi I brought them though. Why yes, there was frozen mämmi in my luggage. Because of course there was.
All around, it was a cool trip. The time when you think you’re sooo grown-up, traveling and drinking and all that mature bizness, only to liken yourself to an awkward teenager in retrospect.
Maybe I can take some mämmi to this year’s meetup if we’re having a picnic on Sunday. We’ll see. I’m sorry though that I won’t be inviting you guys to my home.
