I know

That'd be fun Crazyrabbit, but the meeting will be held in Europe.

Oh and before any of you start saying "An international meeting in Europe!" What's wrong with that? There is no difference between holding an international meeting in Europe or the states, the same amount of people would have travelling to do, so thanks in advance for not saying something dumb like that

It's just absurd to call a meeting an international meeting if the only people likely to come are Europeans. A true international meeting would have to involve a lot of expensive plane tickets and travel time.

Europe is an entire continent, actually.

Hehe Risp, you just proofed yourself to be wrong, good job.

I didn't know Europe was one nation. Why haven't I been informed of this before? I shall now have to declare the entire solar system to be a single country.

Yes, Europe is one nation. In some abstract metaphoric way... okay, okay. I just confuse nations and continents sometimes, expecially at 7 in the morning.

I mix up clothes and shopping bags at seven in the morning, imagine the problems it leads too ;(

Are all JJ2 meetings in countries like Belgium and Netherlands? Make one in Bulgaria please.

I´ll really want to come, but are i to young to come, or just too disliked :P?

We can't have a meeting in Bulgaria because only one person lives there, and the Dutch people rule.

It depends on how old you are Olsen.

I may like to come, but it all depends on the vacation of my family also in belgium around the summer.

Im 13 slayo. and got a passport a couple of weeks ago because i where to poland.

Hello people, here's some info.


I decided it would be better if the meeting took only 3 or 4 days instead of a week and would take place somewhere in Limburg,the Netherlands.
The location will be confirmed at a later date since i need some time took seek out a good location for this meeting to take place.
Limburg is excellent for a survival or walks and picknicks.
And we can all bring one of those cute huge backpacks with a sleeping bag and stuff in them and have a great time out in the wild. Limburg has excellent cultural stuff like ancient castles for us to watch (if your interested in that) and also has amazing nature (if you go to the right places.)
I thought that most of you might like that idea better because it involves less travelling for most of us and it is a shorter period of time. (for those who think that a week is to long.) If people want to they can just come for a day or sleep over for a day or whatever, just make sure to let me know in time.
All of you Americans are welcome as well
Keep checking back from time to time for some more information.

Me 2.

Perhaps you could arrange a meeting in Poland some year. I'm not polish but I live quite close to it, or not so...anyways it's half of the distance from here to there instead of somewhere in Belgium. Whatever, it might help me only personally, but don't forget Sasik, etc. who live there.

I think me and Unfish bouth agree the meeting should be near Boden See: Das Herz Europas)))))

NO STUTTGART =>

Limburg will do fine since most of the people will be DUTCHIES!!!! (My god, they rule so much.)

what about us germans!!!!(check location btw)

Will we sleep in tents? =|

Most jazzers are either in Europe or North America... to make it fair we could always build an artificial island in the middle of the North Atlantic... ;P

No, let's keep it to Europe like Slayo wanted it. I don't have much to say here because I don't intend to come (I'm too lazy to cross the Channel and too paranoid to go on holiday with jazzers I know so well...erm, yeah that made sense ;P)) although I could add some things that you could do apart from what Slayo mentioned such as:

1. If you ever get bored, play JJ2. Splitscreen party mode is way more fun than playing online because you're actually WITH your opponent. Get some gamepads or quarrel over the teeny tiny laptop keyboard. Play JJ1 too. It's much harder than JJ2 and you could always be nerdy and see who got the highest score or completed the lvl/episode/game in the shortest time. Of course, make sure that you do not make JJ the focus of the whole meeting, or you might as well have stayed at home.

2. Take goofy pictures for me and don't forget to sign them!

3. Go skiing. I'm not sure whether it is possible to do so in the Ardennes during summer-time. I doubt many ppl want to go all the way to France or Switzerland just to ski. Anyway, skiing is probably not what Slayo had intended (plus you need Swiss VISAs because it's not in the EU, which means even more money spent [let's invade Swizterland and turn it into a satellite state! j/k]).

4. Re-enact the 1944 Ardennes offensive and make money off it to pay for your travel bills. Or maybe not.

I'd also like to add to my post a reminder that, so far, absolutely nothing concerning the date has been decided nor of prices. But what do I care... I just want your signed pictures.

EDIT: Turned out Slayo has changed his mind about the Ardennes. Skiing and historical re-enactments just went out the window.

Sorry to spoil the fun WR

And yes!!! TENTS PLZ.

Sounds great to me

I think bungalows might be more fun, if not more expensive. And we could be louder at night than in tents on a camping place. ;P

(but we *could* torture some PKK guys who apparently like limburg campings)

PKK? You mean that Kurdistan independence party ?

Yep!

Bungalows may turn out not to be so bad if we split the whole costs thing, in which case it would be nice to know what bungalows you're thinking of and how much it would cost. Tents would be ok too though (but I'd pity people who get stuck in the same tent as me if we have to share).

And do tell why there are PKK guys wandering around on campings in Limburg.

What? There is one month in that, why can't this thread be closed and re-opened on the New Year's Day?

A camping in Limburg turned out to be a secret PKK training camp

Last time I saw centerparks advertisements on TV I think it was 55 euro's a night per person for a weekend.

Which is (i think we'll all agree on this one) NUTS!!!

Absolutely, way too much.
I'm going to arrange to come for sure, providing I'm not gone at that moment of the year or have band performances.

Either way, I think it will be alot of fun. I do not mind to much were we stay. I just want to have a nice vacation with friends. :P

how old do you hace to be to be able to participate in this meeting?

You have to be at least 21.

If your parents allow you to come then come.

i'm more nerd then you guys all together, going to campzone in july :P

so you mean like if i am 13 (which i am) and my parents allow me to come then i can come?

I really want to come, but I probably won't be able to!

So yeah. The American Underage Female Jazz Crowd is, as of now, going to be represented by me.

Assuming this ever gets figured out where it is, or when, or whose "huge cute backpack" I can hide in.


(And I stop ticking Slay off...)

Wow, just looking at rough figures it seems as if the plane tickets alone to get out there would be $550+. That's not cool. Not like it bothers me much anyway, as I usually see people who I met playing JJ2 here in the states.

After all, why go to Europe when Ohio and Colorado work just as well? :-) (and maybe California one of these days.......)
