Gutsy Gibbon - Will there be a Launch Meet in JHB?

[Scroobytec]

Hi All

Is there a Launch Get Together Planned for Gutsy Gibbon?

Just Can not wait for the Final - As THE POSTMAN (Kevin K) said in the movie of the same name "Things are Getting Better"

there will definately be a launch event. just no venue or time has been decided upon. as said, i will try let everyone know by the end of today, if not by the end of today, then by the end of the weekend.

Hi Hi

when would the get together be the 18th of Oct same day as the release ?

And as for suggestions, why dont we see who would like to go, and then from there find a centeral point based on the locations of the attendies ?

[Circus-Killer]

well, the release is on the 18th, so i think we should have the meet on either the 19th or 20th (fri or sat).

as for waiting to see who is going to show, before organising, unfotrunetly time is not on our side. i fear that if we just sit and wait for people to confirm they coming before we even have plans for the meeting, i fear that we will miss another launch.

cos also, not many people will say if or not they will come when they dont know where it is. also, its harder to advertise a meet when there is no specific date/time already set. so yah, i think lets focus on the when and where, as soon as possible, so that we can actually start inviting people to the meet. as for the when and where, i have yet to find a decent spot.

C-Killer what type of spot do you have in mind and then we could make suggestions.

[Circus-Killer]

i was thinking of 3 possibilities.....

1. Well, since summer is here, I thought it would be nice to find a place outdoorsy, with braai facilities and a power outlet (so we can copy discs on laptops). This is probably the least feasible of options.
2. Next, would be a sort of pub/restaurant type place, that would enable us to book quite a large booking. Again, we will need access to a power outlet.
3. Last, but not least, I was thinking of maybe trying to find a place (like a mall or something), that we could try get permission to set up a stand and hand out free copies to people.

Those are just 3 options I have come up with. But feel free to make your own suggestions. This is not MY meeting, I am simply just trying to get the ball rolling, but the ball wont roll without your help.

Sounds like a plan.

Date: I would suggest Saturday 19th, taking to heart that nobody really feels like rushing some where right after work on a Friday,

Any objections ??????

Time: 6:00pm -- if that is not to early !

Destination: All Suggestions Welcome ! (Will start scratching around to see if i can find a suitable place).!!!!

[Circus-Killer]

date and time sound good to me, you definately right about a friday night being no good.

now all we need is a place
