DU Convention

Heh, Kate. Czech Republic it is then! 
I think we should send Viddax in first as director of public relations with the locals. Well, they might listen to a Lord...

As there are a lot of members who are from the US, Europe would be the best place to have a DU convention, preferably a country that speaks little english or doesn't like to speak english like parts of France? Let's get completely out of our comfort zone for the experience 😉
Ahem, some parts of England hardly speak English when it comes down to it. Might as well make the convention on the Moon or on Alpha Centauri if you really want to go out of the comfort zone.
Though in all seriousness, whatever the location it would be best if people could actually get there, before dragging up politics and experiences and making it all a Bacchanalia. I might even turn up in person, though would have to alter some things first.

On a slightly related note, any DU member of status higher than lost thinker would always be welcome to use my boat as a crash pad while travelling through....currently lying Bay of Island in New Zealand....

My Kiwi sister runs a refuge there and has been begging me for at least a decade to come work for her. I promised her I'd try to make a visit at least. We'll look you up if I ever make it.

all serious aside though. I think a good compromise might be Iceland. it's halfway to every where and there's a hotel made from ice and a light show in the sky

Or Greenland for that matter: mostly for the Aurora lights. Plus the cold might put a freeze on the hot lust burning through the DU membership. We could always chip in an buy an island or membership for an island nation like Sealand: an island run by poets could well be poetic justice.
Somehow a travelling convention makes me think of something crossed between Monty Python's Flying Circus, Victorian 'Grand Tour', a crusade (its rather fashionable meme relevant right now), and Hippie images of the '60s.
Miss_Sub - If I am to open diplomatic relations with the Czech Republic and its people I will definitely need a translator and a 'volunteer' or two for the entourage. Not to mention a damn good poem to court them with. (The Czech's that is, not the entourage, well.... depends on the entourage.)

Yeah, sorry, Hemi--it was either you or the drugs, and I can shit those out faster if we need to dump 'em quick, as well as get more cash for them, should we run low on travelers checks. 👍

As an engineer I sincerely value your willingness to problem-solve and come to the most sensible solution....my own sphincter has been ruined by the promotion process in the construction industry, so, in all honesty, anything I try to put up there just falls straight out. I am embarrassed by my ineptitude as a potential drug mule...

Never underestimate the power and value of a team-player, when it comes to serving the common goal of the sphincter .
