  • Finnish Apolytoner meeting - official thread

    This is a follow up to the Apolyton Finnmeet, August thread in the OT forum.

    Moved the discussion over to the Community forum as it would get more exposure here and it's a bit more official here.

    So what's this all about?

    Stefu officially suggested in OT a meeting of Finnish Apolytoners (I suppose Apolytoners from other countries are also welcome, but I'm not sure ) would have a small one day meeting in Helsinki around 5-9th August 2002. He listed in his post that at least 3 plus him had earlier this year showed interest for a meeting like this.

    Anything achieved this far in the OT discussion?

    At least a second handful of Finns have been interested to participate, but nothing else worth to mention was debated. Except where it should be, and some idea of Pekka (i.e. plenty of free alcohol, strippers and topless bartender ). This far I've suggested Suomenlinna (Sveaborg) as the location for a possible meeting, but no one else has said anything else, except aaglo who was in favour of that.

    Edit Fixed a typo.

    Yes, I was in favour of Suomenlinna, but others were close to against it, because "it could start raining"... Boo-hoo. What wimps
    I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

      Hmmm... let's combine those sissies and Suomenlinna.
      The Finnish submarine Saukko is still open for visitors in August, so let's have a meeting indoors aboard Saukko.

        As I said, rain I can handle, I'm more afraid it'll be what most people would say "good" weather.

          Why do we have to have some fancy-pants location? Doesn't a regular bar/cafe (depending on the ability of the younger crowd to get forced ID) suffice?

            Fine for me, but then we need a bunch of fake ID's.

              OT notification...

              Ming closed the thread in OT just as I asked him to do, so the discussion will for now on only continue here.

                It's a sad thing if Kristalli posts here. Then she'll no-longer has post count zero...

                Well, okay, any cafe/bar suits me fine... I'm not so eager to go to viapori/sveaborg/suomenlinna. Perhaps somewhere close to Esplanadin puisto?

                  So now we need proper suggestions on where in Helsinki the meeting should take place?

                  The only real suggestion this far is Suomenlinna, because those who were in favour of a pub or cafe didn't say any specifics.

                  Some facts that should be notified when planning the meating are the following facts:

                  1. Minors. We can't go to a pub/bar that has an age limit of 18/21.

                  2. Financies. We aren't that stinking rich. If we would be, then it would be quite easy to decide; the restaurant at Hotel Kämp.

                  2. Force majoure and weather. We'll have to agree on one secondary place due to those things are quite unpredictable.

                    Why don't we just go to Linnanmäki then, have nice safe ice creams, give warm handshakes, have nametags and lacoste t-shirts. The funny part will be when Tuoremehu fumbles with his ice cream and his shirt is dirty. We can all go to the rollercoaster, and I hope it fails and kills us all.

                    What ever happened to the booze and strippers?!

                          Why is this thread in English?

                            I like pekka's idea, both of them
                            and I've been on those "visits to suomenlinna" this year quite many times, so.....
