Are there many of us? FTR I live right on the south coast of England. Maybe if there is enough of us we could have ourselves a little dopefest… whadda you think? Thats the good thing about England. You can drive from Scotland to Sussex in a day-ish. ---

Actually Birmingham would be a good place to have a dopefest, being virtually in the middle of the country… …of course our Transatlantic Cousins would be more than welcome to come… 🙂 ---

Well I’m in England at the moment. Well Essex is part of England, isn’t it? And I will continue to be here sporadically till the end of the year. Otherwise, I’m normally currently based in Leipzig, Germany, that could change soon, though. ---

London (and former south east) doper checking in. Since the proposed London dope seems to have died a natural death, count me in for anything you can line up. ---

I live in Sweden which as Anniz said is not so far away but being a student doesn’t leave you with alot of money for travel. I’ll be with you in spirit though unless Anniz will pay my trip in return of travel company 😉 Välkommen Anniz! Alltid roligt att se en till svensk här. ---

I am an American who lives in Heidelberg, Germany. We absolutely love it here. We’re going to try and stay in Europe for at least another 3 years, keep your fingers crossed for us! A bunch of us are planning on meeting up in Dublin the weekend of 13 October. Friday the 13th, maybe we should all wear spooky costumes. Anyhoo, the more the merrier and I would love to meet all of you. If anyone cares to visit me here in Heidelberg, I’ve got a couple of air mattresses and cook a mean Southern breakfast. ---
