Summer 2019 BLF travel+meetups?

Off-topic Chatter
3

My travel plans for this summer (mostly work trips):

- Linköping

- Frankfurt am Main, Germany

  • London, E14
    Later this summer, maybe my first ever fall foliage?
    New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and potentially Prince Edward Island?

Where are most BLF folks in this world? In cities or more in the beautiful countryside?

Now let's see, where was that google map of BLF members?

Oh, here it is:

https://www.google.com/maps

5

Not this summer, but in a few weeks !

6

Schiermonnikoog, in july :laughing:
Amsterdam, rest of summer (24/7 no proper darkness)

7

There’s a map? I had no idea. Cool!

How do we opt in/out of the map?

8

Somewhere in this thread are the instructions. As I recall, it took me a little experimenting to get myself on the map.

This is an intriguing idea. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a BLF Flashlight Conference? FlashCon?

Too big? Ok, how about local Meetups… where Flashaholics can get together for show and tell, local support, modding tips and tricks, general debauchery, etc??

Are there any members already doing this?

10

There are regular meetups in Germany, I have joined a few times, the people are fun and friendly and have lots of flashlights, but my german is not great.

Thanks for sharing, dropped my pin in there!

Summer in japan… FIREWORKS FESTIVALS !!!

This one is not the most ridiculous but already completely saturated with smokes (beware, loud noises :smiling_imp: )

13

I’m be going to the Pol’And’Rock festival.

14

Any flashaholic is welcome to my house (half an hour south of vienna / AUSTRIA) !

15

I hate traveling, so I'm staying home.

My mom is going to visit my older sister in North Carolina, though.

16

Bump

17

We need to make one in Canada.

I’d need quite a bit of funds though.

18

We seem to have a handful of BLF members in North Carolina. But, I’m sure your mom and sis aren’t interested in a BLF member meet-up. :stuck_out_tongue:

19

My mom benefits from my interest on BLF, but you're right, she won't be going to a BLF meet-up.

20

The map is a bit discouraging for get-togethers. Large metropolitan areas like Dallas TX - zero pins. New York - about three.

There may be a lot of us, but we are really spread out.

21

Ok, added to the map.

22

Translation - Meet up at Raccoon City’s house!

RC, just let us know the dates your mom will be in NC. Thanks!
