No problem. We could even make it 7:35 PM - I should well be able to get to the Cologne Marriott and have that 25 minute walk. We ought to make sure everybody knows, though.
Since you don't have a phone, I guess you should try to be there at 7:35. I'd still say we won't leave before 7:45 though, so that everybody has a chance to make it.
If anyone needs directions to the Marriott Hotel:
Leave the main station at one of the two "Breslauer Platz" exits, and NOT at the "Bahnhofsvorplatz/Domseite" exits.
Our final destination though will be the restaurant "Deutzer Bahnhof" at the "Bahnhof Köln/Deutz" around 8:15.
Between 7:30 and 7:45 at the Marriott Hotel, and then between 8:00 and 8:15 in front of the "Deutzer Bahnhof" (the entrance is on the left side of the station building).
Just a heads up, that time may be really pushing it for us, Alan and I are totally booked up here until at least 7pm, getting out of here and back to the hotel by 7-30 seems pretty unlikely.
Do you need the trip back to the hotel though? It's easier to get to the restaurant from the exhibition halls (as posted earlier in this thread), and we could pick you up at the Köln Messe at around 8:00.
Good thing I still see this - I was almost on my way. To avoid any confusion: I'll be at the restaurant at 8 PM.
Nothing against Mark & Alan being a bit sweaty (coming directly from the gamescom without a shower at the hotel), but that is seriously up to you guys.
Also, I've just received a request from a friend of mine. She wants Majus to sign one of his flash movies for her.
That's going to be a major problem.
/edit: slim guy, small glasses, no beard, somewhat dark blonde, brown Jack Wolfskin t-shirt, bluejeans, black shoulder bag with small blue triangle. That's me. I'd probably recognize Alan, Mermaid and even Lampshade, but most of all Majus without a doubt.
Guys I think I'm going to be sitting this one out. I picked up a slight case of food poisoning (not sure from what) and am not really feeling 100 percent in terms of heading out anywhere.
Mark will be taking the BTTF/The Walking Dead mini posters with him, rest assured.
Super bummed I won't get to meet you guys...unless you feel like coming to the hotel and hanging in the lounge or something after dinner! The invite is open.
A real shame that you couldn't make it, Alan!!! Maybe next time, *sigh*.
We will have to talk about that super-secret moderator project sometime soon nonetheless.
Friar, you're in luck... mermaid was very quick with her camera... she might have things for show & tell.
Hey guys!
*Whew* Im back home, and it's really the first time Ive had a moment to breathe since I left for Germany!
Just wanted to say that it was super awesome meeting up with you guys! Thanks for helping me navigate the German menu and picking out the better German beer!
Extra special thanks to Majus, Mermaid and Laserschwartzenegger for letting me hand out afterward and playing a bit of Monkey Island on the huge projector screen! It was truly a night I wont soon forget!
