It's just that if there's nobody willing to come to Barcelona I might have to show up in Paris or something. I really really really want to get into one of these meetups, but there appear to be NO spaniard tropers except those I got to read your fic, and those are only starting to explore the site. Plus, we meet up every friday, so it would be kind of redundant.

Well, Ardiente said pretty much the same thing in the Paris thread.

That's because Ardiente is my other handle. At that point I though Raw_Power had been downvoted to oblivion or something, because I couldn't find myself nowhere.

Worst case, nobody shows up and you waste one (1) evening.

Less than that if you take a book or an audio book on your ipod!

:) It's ok. My ipod is actually in semi retirement and I tend to listen to stuff on my android phone these days. Apple wasn't nearly as distasteful back when I bought it as it is now. Oh, and my old iPod runs RockBox. Itunes pissed me off one too many times. It is so much easier just to be able to copy music onto the device as though it is a hard drive (which that model in fact is) - and have the RockBox-iPod just index everything in the background anyway.

It shall be done. However I would rather take a plane to Paris than sit idle for a weekend, and so unless there is response to hold one right here at the same date I will hold it the weekend after that.

If nobody shows up, I guess I'll read Permutation City or something. BTW, I just audioread Snow Crash. Now I have a clearer idea of what a weirdtopia is.
