The Athens 2004 Olympics apolytoners meeting

[Datajack Franit]

I know this probably isn't the best time in the world for such a thread with all the mess in the world right now, but hey, we can't just change our lifestyles because of that- my apologies in advance to those who could feel offended by this thread


Oks now let's begin! As you well know, Greece will host the 2004 summer olympic games (which is pretty unusual considering Greece is the country that "created" Paiktis) so there's not a better time for a poly meeting for the wealthy of us- and those ones who starved for month in order to save some money and get the damn tickets- I can eat again!

I'm not one of the wealthy apolytoners....

[Dauphin]

I think most Apolytoners would prefer to be in Portugal at that time.

Edit- The Championships are in June, so we could do both!.

[Alex]

Enlighten me: why Portugal?

[Dauphin]

UEFA European Championships

[VetLegion]

I am thinking to coming to Greece for Olympics. But I hope more people from different countries can come.. who would want to meet only Italians and Greeks

[Datajack Franit]

Maybe we can watch the almighty croatian sports federation getting medals in important games as handball and grass hockey
