GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Guitarmasterclass Meet-up
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 10 2012, 09:41 PM
As I was chatting with Christian ( guitarero )
We thought it was cool to meet up with some of you guys and visit a festival or jam together. ( maybe, summer 2013 ? )
Since we all have different positions around the globe we thought the best place to meet is Central Europe.
Would be cool to know how you think about this and who's interested in a meetup !
Grtz Snackajacks & Guitarero
- just saw that there was already a tread by opetholic. So let's do this !
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 10 2012, 09:45 PM
Since we just had a similar topic it might also be a nice idea to first meet up in smaller groups, like some guys from the Netherlands, UK, Scandinavia and Germany could meet up. Maybe at Ben's place, or the Area 4 festival ( http://www.area4.de/en/ ) this year 
Or a little meeting between the dutch and german members...maybe this wednesday?

That would be amazing guys! I'm a bit far from there and tickets are expensive but I hope to be able to be there!
Posted by: SCProphet Jun 10 2012, 10:27 PM
Lets all meet up on Wacken Open Air?
Posted by: Bossie Jun 10 2012, 11:53 PM
Y'all make sure to wear you're GMC T shirts !!!
Posted by: MonkeyDAthos Jun 11 2012, 01:01 AM
that sounds awesome
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 11 2012, 01:47 PM
That would be a great thing to do.. now which bank can I rob and get away with it ??
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 11 2012, 01:57 PM
I created a poll for a location, If everyone votes on the area closest to his location then we can
sort it out a bit 
- woops. wrong poll settings, needed to add, Central Europe ( Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands)
Posted by: SCProphet Jun 11 2012, 02:59 PM
The central Europe thing still doesn't work 
Posted by: Dieterle Jun 11 2012, 02:59 PM
Germany England and France would be ok for me 
Posted by: thefireball Jun 11 2012, 03:34 PM
Man, I wish this could be a reality for me.
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 11 2012, 04:12 PM
I can't edit, only an admin can edit that, Just choose the closest area of europe to you,
for instance the netherlands is eastern europe.
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 11 2012, 05:16 PM
Haha, when I looked at the poll I thought :"Why didn't he include central europe???"
Couldn't help but imagining You, Opetholic, Bossie, SCProphet, Dieter and me travelling to England for a meet up, and none of the english dudes has the time to join us
But the poll seems pretty clear so far: Ben's place it is! Though I suppose buying a plane ticket would be cheaper then buying enough beer for all of us, Ben

Why are you guys voting for England ? England sucks !
I vote Germany or somewhere in the middle of Europe
Or anywhere in Europe I guess.. I classify anywhere West of Poland as Western Europe and anywhere East / South East of Poland as Eastern Europe. It's funny how we describe things differently.
Posted by: ringmar Jun 11 2012, 05:54 PM
Maybe I can Skype in from Canada. (Toronto area).
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 12 2012, 08:41 AM
Mates! Anything goes for me - maybe a bit more difficult with USA/ South America due to the high costs, but regarding Europe - ANYWHERE is good!
As long as the date is right and we can get enough time before it to order good priced plane tickets, I think it can be ok.
If Ben's place it is, that's where we're going!
Cosmin
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 12 2012, 09:56 AM
So it is going to be England or Central Europe , Awesome !.
The best time to go is in summer of 2013, because then we have about a year to plan everything and everybody has
time to save money for it.
Gitarero and I will keep everyone updated, Can this topic be made sticky ?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 12 2012, 10:15 AM
Summer 2013 is a very good time! There's plenty of time to organize and save money for this wonderful trip, so let's make it count!
Posted by: Yash Jun 12 2012, 12:57 PM
OK. Count me in too. No, I was jokin.
If I could have any sponsors or scholarship or anything. I'd love to come.
It'd be great to attend my first ever concert with you guys And also it'd be my first trip out of India.
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jun 12 2012, 01:25 PM
This is a great idea.
I'll need to keep an eye on what's going on as i'd love to meet up but am also saving for a Road Trip on Route 66 next year too!
Posted by: carminemarotta Jun 12 2012, 01:32 PM
Cosmin
do you mean, all of us will go to Ben's house?
Joking aside, we will find a pub close to Denmark Street

Yeah, I've never traveled abroad. I just don't know if this would be possible for me. If only I could know the future.

How's this for camping ground This is our field and anybody is welcome to camp here, free. As long as you bring your own tent and beers for the host 
Posted by: Dieterle Jun 12 2012, 06:11 PM

Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 12 2012, 06:32 PM
Hey Guys, keep my house out of it !
If it's London, then Camden Town it is !
i thing !?

Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 12 2012, 07:19 PM
We should create a new poll and see if people would prefer Camden...or Ben's house.
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 12 2012, 07:44 PM
I'm warning you, Deutschlander....
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 12 2012, 08:16 PM
Sorry guys, but I just have to go for Llion's place! That LOOKS AMAZING!
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 13 2012, 10:37 AM
hmm weird, first this topic was stick, but now it isn't anymore
anyways, that looks awesome !.
I will create an emailadres were everybody can sign up for the meeting so we can organize a bit
Going to be awesome !
grtz Marc
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 13 2012, 11:08 AM
Hey Marc, count me in man and post the link if there is any so we can all see and have access to this
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jun 13 2012, 02:07 PM
This is a very exciting idea - and to those wondering what the management's standpoint on this is, I want to say that this is definitely part of future plans.
However in the near future - we are completely focused on the website/lessons as we see a lot of possible and necessary improvements.
Having said this, it would of course be awesome if GMCers could meet up all around the world and share pictures/experience on the forum.
Until we have the possibility to officially organize something like this - I also want to remind you that we do not want members to start collecting emails or any other private information via the GMC forum. (I have edited one post in this thread)

Can't we use the message system of the site instead of emailadresses?
Posted by: JesseJ Jun 13 2012, 03:37 PM
I am bood with anywhere in europe I am planning to go there and explore next summer anyway so I would just center my plans around a GMC meetup !
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 13 2012, 07:20 PM
There were no intentions in collecting data from other data, Is it possible to use pm ?
Because of the huge interest in a meeting I wouldn't understand why it can't be.

Kris is just looking out for everyone guys. I don't think he means any harm or anything against the gathering in the least. He just wants to keep everyone safe in the end.
If you google some of the conversations we have here you will notice it does list on google. GMC requires a membership to view the site full, but you still get a preview of everything without it.
So say for instance I'm going to buy a guitar off someone on the forum I'll just post my name, address, and credit card information here. Next thing you know you bought it, after that purchase you see that someone from Antarctica bought a new tv, some dvds, and music that you don't even like. You know right off the bat that you didn't buy it. But it could have been prevented if someone was looking out for me when I bought the guitar and posted all my information on the forum.
I'm sure Kris can say if I'm correct or not with your answers of PM'ing people. But I don't think he will have an issue because that is more of behind closed doors than the wide open world.
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jun 13 2012, 08:53 PM
Yes of course!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 13 2012, 10:07 PM
Ok! Let's go to Europe! Every place is far from here so we can go to the cooler one!
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 13 2012, 10:16 PM
allright guys then pm me for more information, I respect Kris' decision
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 14 2012, 10:33 AM
I pm'ed ( personal mailed ) everybody that has responded to this topic, if not pm me.
If you want to join the gmc Meeting, pm me and I will give you the details for signing up.
See ya

Cheers,
Dogukan.
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 14 2012, 04:22 PM
Hey Dogukan,
just tell me when you are travelling through Germany or Switzerland and I'm pretty sure we could meet
Christian

Sure thing
I was planning ask you anyway Dogukan,
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 14 2012, 04:34 PM
Cool!
You might wanna check the Area 4 festival, I'm going, and maybe a few of the dutch guys care to come as well? It's somewhat close to the border.
But we'll see! And of course you're always welcome to stay at my place. Then I could show you some spots that are really "clichée" Germany, like the Black Forrest
Posted by: HungryForHeaven Jun 14 2012, 04:37 PM
I'm in basically anywhere in Europe.
Although I live in Scandinavia, I would probably vote for something more central, such as Cologne or Prague. Or Dorset.
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 14 2012, 06:16 PM
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 06:25 AM
Hey guys, Now that I seriously think about it...... I may have a chance to be in Europe next year. I am trying to get a course in Anthropology , and they might just send me for training or something. Even if they don't, 
I could still try
It'd be great. This is a plan for 2013, so, I might have just one slight chance.
But we'd try meeting at Ben's house or somewhere else in England, coz I don't know any other European language except English and French. Only if I start learning something new
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 09:26 AM
Don't worry too much, most Europeans have English as a second language (to a point) so if you really need to, you can converse with them. Also, if were all in a big group there's no need to worry
Anyhow, guys I think we should all go to Duesseldorf and visit the Altstadt. C'mon Christian, ya feel me ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altstadt_(D%C3%BCsseldorf)
Or we could do Cologne and all go up to the top of the Cathedral
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 09:30 AM
Stupid me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altstadt_(D%C3%BCsseldorf)
Or we could do Cologne and all go up to the top of the Cathedral
My first trip to Europe and you guys would be taking me to an Old Town, vintage. That's totally unacceptable. I want to something new.
And, lets go to Italy. The food would be good
We'll eat all the pasta in Italy.

I am gonna check it now
And thanks for the offer man, appriciated
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 10:20 AM
Are you telling me you could refuse a Currywurst ??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 10:55 AM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currywurst
Maybe
I am not allowed to have pork or beef. due to some religious beliefs..... But I can have as much chicken and mutton as I like
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 15 2012, 01:37 PM
Don't worry Yash, since Germany is a big melting pot (especially Cologne) there are lots of sausages made of chicken
If you don't like old towns...well...then we should meet in the USA, cause there's no chance not to find old towns in Europe
Ben, Cologne and Düsseldorf sound great, these cities are kinda expensive though when it comes to getting a place to sleep. So Dorset it is!!
I would still think London is the place to meet, the city seems to be capable of handling a bunch of maniacs
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 02:03 PM
I'll stay in an old town for some while, but not for whole trip
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 15 2012, 05:15 PM
I am all for old towns I love the European medieval atmosphere!
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 05:43 PM
I love the European medieval atmosphere!I don't know about all that so, maybe that's why I am not into that...
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jun 15 2012, 06:06 PM
Most cities have a part which they call the 'Old Town' and is just basically the last remnants of the really old buildings that used to be there and is full of history etc.. it doesn't just mean a crap old town !
Posted by: Yash Jun 15 2012, 06:20 PM
Oh, OK, so this means Delhi is also an old city.
Actually one of the oldest and still surviving. Its origins as a city are from B.C.
Posted by: Dieterle Jun 15 2012, 06:27 PM
A Great City too Bamberg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamberg
lots of Pubs , in Summertime live music outside
good food - fair prices - real beer garden outside Bamberg in small villages - and sure a indian restaurant

Yeah, that place does look damn nice
It's even got a Little Venice !
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 15 2012, 06:40 PM
And the people living in Bamberg have one of the funniest dialects in Germany (that gets pretty annoying after 3 days...). But that's just my opinion
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 15 2012, 06:44 PM
dusseldorf is only one hour travel from here
Well, guys you know were we should go ?
KOLN, there is a large musicstore www.musicstore.com, they have testrooms where we can jam
and the Saturn cd shop, really huge
Posted by: Mike RR24 Jun 15 2012, 10:00 PM
I could not help butting in here but actually the only one you'll get away with is the one you don't rob.
Posted by: snackajacks Jun 16 2012, 08:55 AM
remember to pm me if you want to
Sign up for the meeting ! So far most of the guitarteachers signed up !
