ludwig_van: I hope I get the chance to match my Decepticons shirt against your Autobots-T one of these days.

You have yourself a challenge, sir!

I went to an IRC meet up years ago and there were two of us wearing transformers Ts, one from each side, natch.

Also, I was wearing my "Aliens Suck" shirt back in high school and I passed this kid wearing an "Aliens Rule!" shirt. I turned around after we passed for the inevitable fight to the death, but it never came to pass.

Looks like a fun meet up anyway. We'll have to get one going up here in northern Canada (right).

It would be so awesome if ludwig-van's band played a Slayer tune (although I think it would take two tubas).

or a whole field of war tubas!

Screw Slayer, I will be very disappointed if ludwig_van failed to play Pachelbel's Canon in D major in the style of JerryC ;-)

You should nip up to Glasgow too, amberglow!

Come to think of it, it's been a while since the last Ecosso-meetup...
