So yesterday we had the second Guldencoin meetup ever. This time in Zeist at Café Bommel, one of our proud Guldencoin merchants. Me and Deaurin came in first, but others soon followed. My girlfriend decided last minute not to join us this time, but we had at least one lady present. Chromedome and his girlfriend, who works at Villa Ticca, were present.
Not everyone who said they would come showed up for whatever reasons, but we had a nice time nonetheless. We got to talking about merchants, what could be improved and the owners of Café Bommel shed some light on what could be improved, their thoughts and their ideas. Some cool stuff came up that at a later date will probably be revealed in a more elaborate explanation.
It also became very clear that we need to do a lot more meetups. Not just to catch up with each other in real life, but also to get more new people involved and in a one on one conversation. It is very cool to see how easy people catch on once you can explain and show them hands on how it all works. It also allowed recent member of our community Zutshi to share his fresh thoughts on NLG. Very productive and fun to hear different sides of the community's experience both on the forums and in the outdoorsy fashion we call real life.
From around 1:30 PM till about 5-6 PM GJ, Rijk, Deaurin, Patrick, Zutshi, Chromedome and myself spent that time drinking and laughing. Cookie and Sebass couldn't make it due to car trouble and were briefly stuck on Ameland as well. Chromedome's girlfriend left a little earlier, but it was cool of her to come!
LTEX was in the Ardennes with his family so couldn't make it, but we ate some snacks and drank some beers on his behalf. So thank you for that LTEX
We spoke of KwartjeTerug and how we could make similar projects go live to get positive exposure and share the pre-mine in a more efficient manner like KwartjeTerug. A few cool ideas came up. As well as several different pre-mine jokes
.
After we left Café Bommel we went out to get some food and ended up getting a table for 7 and enjoyed some more beer and tapas.
Sounds like fun... my brother and I might join for next event. Where is next event taking place?
