Photos from the Copenhagen meetup of 20 July. [more inside]

The attendees were dabitch, Nice Donkey, sveskemus, nelle, gramschmidt, and two of my squatter friends.

My photos are here.

dabitch's are here.

Some more of dabitch's are here.

sveskemus's are here.

Nice Donkey has some, too, which I assume she'll post, unless her head exploded due to the subtle but important differences between Danish and Swedish kroner she experienced last Saturday.

The meetup went well, I think. The progression (for those MeFi Meetup Recreationist Societies we'll undoubtedly see a hundred years from now) was as follows: BrewPub upstairs, BrewPub downstairs, dabitch's departure (with accompanying tears), edible shawarma, the departure of my squatter friends (with accompanying tears and renting of garments), and finally Kong Christian for Tuborg and foosball and then the inevitable 3 AM theft of a schooner in the harbor and subsequent armed, malicious invasion of the island of Bornholm, made all the more trivial by the fact that it was already part of Denmark.

Or such is my recollection.

Obviously, you were already sleeping, and dreaming you were a viking. A literal one. More so than a Danish person would be anyway.

Copenhagen is a most excellent city, and it was made even more excellent by the meeting of many cool people. And the drinking of good beer and the eating of fast-food-ish shawarma in the wee hours.

Also, the repeated paying for said beer and food by sveskemus. Gosh, thanks sveskemus! You'd better be careful in the future . . . you're giving Copenhagen a good name.

The only thing that could have made that night better (and our hangovers worse) would be the Absinthe we spoke of. Must do that next time! ;P

I can only encourage any other mefites visiting Copenhagen to call for a meetup. It was lots of fun and next time I'm sure we can somehow fit some Absinthe in there.

Oh, and gramschmidt, don't forget to email me a couple of weeks in advance if you decide to try for a Berlin meetup. I can get there quite easily by bus.

And dabitch, I eagerly await an invitation to try some moonshine in your 100-year-old home. :D
