Meet the Scobles in Europe?

by on November 12, 2005

Maryam and I are really getting excited. On November 23 we’re going to Wales for Thanksgiving with her brother. Then over to Cork (more info on the conference I’m speaking at here), Ireland. Then to Dublin, where I’m talking to a .NET User Group. Then to Paris for Les Blogs 2.0. Then to Brussels to meet with another user group. Then back to London for a geek dinner with Hugh Macleod and more than 100 others and I’m going to try to get to the Global Voices 2005 London Summit on the 10th too. There’s a bunch of other things I’ll be doing in between these events too. Doing some Channel 9 videos, and getting around to meet many of Microsoft’s employees.

Les Blogs is looking like a great conference. I’ve never been to Paris. It’s one of the things I’ve always wanted to do. I hope to meet you at one of these events! Oh, and it’s looking like I’ll get to Switzerland in February, and India next summer. Maryam wanted to take me to Iran this trip, but I couldn’t justify taking so much time away from the office.

  • What part of Wales will visiting? Am I right in saying that your brother-in-law lives in Newport? If so it'll be interesting to see what you think of my home town. Will it be your first visit to Wales?
  • Christopher Coulter
    Somehow, when you mention a Euro trip, my mind thinks Clark W. Griswald...
  • Christopher Coulter
    :)
  • I can't believe I won't be here :(

    I was really looking forward to listening to you, live, in Paris. But I'm going to Brittany for two weeks the day before you get here, unfortunately (work not leisure).

    I guess I won't be getting my Channel 9 guy after all ;) (c.f. halloween post)

    Anyway, I hope Maryam and you will have a nice trip :)
  • What about Amsterdam, *snif*
  • Rutger: I wanna come to Amsterdam, but couldn't fit it into this trip.
  • Oh you saving the best for next year? Australia...

    Travel is great isnt it, you learn so much about varying viewpoints from visiting other countries. Hope you and Maryam enjoy the trip.
  • John
    India? Do give me a holla if in Bangalore!
  • Have fun in Europe. I will be in Italy during that time. Too bad you can't make it to Rome.
  • I recommend going down to the Gower peninsula when you are in Wales - one of the most beautiful peninsulas in the world - great beaches, cliff tops, hills.

    I'd also recommend going north of Newport to the Wye valley.

    Enjoy.
  • Darren, thanks, yeah, we'll be in Newport.
  • Nathan Brouwer
    How about a little visit to Amsterdam?
  • How about adding a Schoble calender at Eventful?

    Like mine here: http://eventful.com/users/brilliantdays

    That way we can keep track of where you're going to be? Or start using Plazes?

    You can even get your own url, like Joi is doing:

  • (sorry for spelling Scoble wrong!)
  • Let me know if you want help finding things to do in and around Newport.
  • Sweden, or Switzerland ;-) ?
  • it's autumn here so keep warm.. ;)
  • Tough schedule there ... anyway, I'll see you in Cork, Paris and London!!!

    Nice Europe is getting in on the geekery, have been very jealous of all the US activities this past couple of years ;-)
  • Robert: I'd love to do a geek dinner in Newport. I also will need some place that has Wifi access and would love some ideas of things to do.

    Laurent, I messed up. Switzerland.
  • Hey, im going to Europe around that time too. Maybe ill see you guys there. :) Fingers crossed
  • Hi, Unfortunately I'll be flying back from Malaysia again when the London meet takes place. How about you come for Chinese food later in the new year?
  • Ian, anytime!
  • When you're in London, if you want an evening for just you and your wife (or a smallish group), it's really worth trying the Cinnamon Club restaurant. Every visitor I've ever taken there from the US has had a fabulous time (more at: http://www.psynixis.com/blog/?p=50 ).
