Hello! Sorry for the radio silence for the last little while - my social life has rather taken over my brain!
Now, looking over the comments on here, I've tried to work out what days and dates we could set a meeting for that everyone here would be able to make it to. As far as days, looks like Wednesdays are best (can everyone make Wednesdays?). And as for dates, we've got one member away from the 24th to the 29th of Jan, and since I don't want to rush us all with a meeting too soon, I thought maybe after the 29th would be best. So the next Wednesday after that is...
Wednesday the 4th of Feb. Let's say 6pm.
Let's have a quick poll: who can make it then? If we have agreement, I'll put up a short post confirming the time and date!
I'm sorry to make it so far away, but I want to make sure everyone has a chance to write something they feel ok about sharing! (Remember that you don't have to take the writing part too seriously - something silly will do just fine!)
As for a venue, I've decided that our placeholder venue - to be used only if nothing better comes up in the meantime - should be the big Starbucks at Hackescher Markt (40 Rosenthaler Strasse). I know it sounds tacky, but it is a nice place. Lots of armchairs, and open late. Myself and Sam, one of our members, will search valiantly for something a little less tacky, though, and if we find anything suitable we'll put up a post announcing the new venue. Otherwise I'll post directions to Starbucks. (Thanks for your help and enthusiasm, Sam!)
Thanks for reading everyone, and thanks for your patience. I look forward to meeting you all!
