hi hi folks, I'm trying to do a research on the dutch gay culture. what are the common views, lifestyle, ,places to hang out anf of interest. the good the bad and the unusual. l'll be heading to amsterdam in september and would love some pointers as where to start. I've been to the so called gay street in the reguliersdwardsstraat but it doesn't looked much i mean i see a few flags out but it;s rather quiet. perhaps after the disco moved it's no longer the 'it' thing. well for one thing i didn't do pub nor clubs even back home(ahem!) so i have no idea where n what is the best way to start this research. i did however saw a couple of gay saunas though as i wonder about near Leidsestraat thanks in advance

now i get it thanks guys! it helps alot! now we just need to wait for the change. i think the travel card will be nice if to visit for a week. any suggestion on good old merry pub food that's not within direct central london(i always get the impressive places usually out of the way a little tends to have better food and lower in price lol)

sure.. anyone can plan their own is they wouldn't wanna do group lodging.. just thought it might save up some lions den hehehe *imagines westie as a lamb* so i guess 2 types of lodging group lodging and self bookings, but attendance still need to be confirmed for food still. if it;s more than 10 pple.

hostels might make an age exception if they were informed that we'll be planning a gathering for some function amongst friends. large groups of pple. usually hostel goes with 16 to 45 anyone under need parental or guardian to stay. anyways no harm asking there're a few very nice hostels in london. i'm trying out the palmers lodge. http://www.palmerslodge.co.uk/ i'll be staying there for about 3 nights so i'll know if it's good. more after september stay anyways i suggest we have a theme for the gathering. and we can do activities around that theme. I suggest Horror -undead or mysteries - who dun it. we could spend a few hours in the London bridge tomb experience to get inspired for perhaps a fun group write up for horror. or jack the ripper tour for mysteries. fantasy - faeries can be nice too.. but if lodging is outskirt of town it's be nicer for fae theme. anyhow someone need to come up with a list of things to do. since everyone is from all over, everyone might needs a place to stay. set up a small organizing committee. that way we'll know who to look for for confirming the meet n etc. we need to list down who is in charge. preferably 2 to 3 pple and at least 1 local. 1) how many pple coming. 2) place to stay - usually big group = cheaper prices. 3) food arrangements - again big groups = cheaper at restaurants if booked early. 4) how many nights stay? a weekend meet or weekday meet? saturday - sunday? (1 night stay) friday - sunday? (2 nights stay) ? 5) activities and theme. like planning a story to write we should have a theme. apart from individual time for self venture into london, the gather is for pple to meet and to have fun, so we should all do fun stuff together. 6) take group photos! 7) setup some simple rules.. i take it we're all mature enough to act accordingly but it's optional. just incase someone decided to be Mr. I'm so fancy I might just wear a thong and parades around... unless he is all good looking n have a great body i doubt we all might wanna see that and near him when the police shows up. 8) inform everyone overall price with breakdown of the pricelist. so everyone would understand why it cost the amount it is. 9) organise transports. be it bicycles to rental van to public transport. we should know wot to expect. I also noticed something called the London pass with travel. London pass enables u to visit 55 tourist sports for free since u already paid tot he card but the fun thing is the pass comes with unlimited public transport travel from 9.30am till 4 am. but it is abit pricy for 1 day pass.. freaking

happy birthday!... oh that was me! hohohohohohoo thanks guy! u all get free huggles and smoochies!!!

get a rental home in a farm or something.. n rent a big van for transport.. that way since it in the rural area.. that said if only it's during halloween.. cos it'd be scary n fun we can write horror stories , do horror roleplay n someone video it down lol and we'll have our own GA movie to watch lol how everyone dies in random death from the hat. n the rest will have to guess who will escape.. it's like a game of who dun it but in this who escape the claws of doom and who is the serial murderer. i think i watched too many slasher flick

why not do a 1 to 3 night all stay at the same affordable place where you have group site seeing, dinner party, dance party, read self written works sessions, kidnap n do weird stuff to some local kids(noy a minor of cos gotta keep it legal) session, a special london writing collaboration where the story is based on a topic and everyone just contribute by following up the previous person's write up. 3- 5 paragraphs and drawing numbers in a hat to arrange the order for who goes first accordingly? like a GA fun house. just poll the money together and rent a place. or hostel n have everyone in the same room hahaha. can also do role playing to. that might be fun. those in america collaborate and create a scenario. those in uk will need to randomly pick their role and act out their part accordingly. those with the best role play n most creative dialog will get a GA badges like of Best RolePlayer 2011, best of weirdest Role 2011, most creative dialog 2011 as for boardgames i suggest Goa, shadows over camelot, pandemic, agricola, ticket to ride

Geronimo!

sizzle sizzle heh, well now let see, I'm in the process of trying to find a nice online virtual office where we can upload files, create schedules and have a calender and do messaging and etc. ne one knows a good site for that? Yahoo group was rather good once until it turned into a death pit full of spammers.

i only cut me hair once in 3 to 4 months. cut it really short and then just forget the whole thing and see it grow try afro hehehehe *imagine cheese with a mean afro!* ooooooo....

come now pple ask some question and i shall answer you. don't be shy.

ooo interesting. sure but as a start it won't be overly complex. it will touch the hidden world, it'll have cultist groups mixed of c'thullu like cultist, dark mages, secret counsils n heck loads of conspiracy where major forces trying to screw with each other n etc. imagine c'thullu meets harry potter mets underworld mets hellblazer .. lol.. by the way might i interest you in the project? could treat it as some hobby past time project where when you're bored and wish to exercise your words you could indulge yourself in it. liberate the thoughts of your inner most darkest desire into the sentences and then see them come to fruition through the mechanics of the game. feast and satisfy your desire to view your work of art through your own eyes by being your own audience as you test the game. free chocolate cookies might get involved for those that's interested lol...

Hi folks, My name is Macxell and i'm starting up a Independent game development project and in need for writers to help me out. Basically all i can say is, the story resolves around a modern day gay detective that stumbled upon the supernatural and magical world veiled from the our world. The game will be a RPG game for the mobile platform. I need writers to collaborate with me to flash out interesting ideas and stories for the game. Catch is since it's an indie game dev project with me the only one working on it right now, there'll be no $ involved as i can't afford to pay anyone. *sees how all forum readers wonder elsewhere..eeps! come back!* will tell you guys more eventually if any of you are interested. Do drop me a line and we can discuss more bout it. Please be 18 and above as i do really dislike explaining to parent why i'm getting their underage kids to work on a 'R' rated project without their consent. hope it might spark some interested on here and we'll get our game developed cheers
