Hey Patchou,

The meetin in Paris sounds very very cool, however its a little too short notice ... i'd really like to be there however with alot of things planned myself i cant really get the money in such a short period with other plans.

This thread simply was to ask if you would consider doing the same next year? even make it a yearly thing... would be cool... even in 6 months and i'd be there .... but if you would consider doing it again could you please reply with more info.


Thanks,
XM4ST3RX


p.s. Have a great time in Paris this December, i can imagine it being really fun!

Well I could imagine older members of the Messenger community would be capable of meeting up somewhere. 

Country wise a few of us would be able to do it although i wouldn't make it open minors due to implications of it

patchou should come to California(United States) *cough* Hanford *cough* chicken stuck in my throat

Hi Wabz,

yeah i agree mate, strictly 18's or over would be suitable.



Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX

yea would be cool, although also kinda weird actaully seeing the ppl in real life and being able to put a face to the name

I don't agree that it should be over 18's only, because there are many members of the forum that are 15+ that should be allowed to be honest, and we would be allowed to go. Lots of people would want to meet patchou and people, but to be honest, if lots of people start signing up to purely meet Patchou, it could get quite annoying, I say that Patchou picks people if we did meet him, but IMO, I don' t think we should let him pay for the meals and drinks to be honest .

If anything, we should buy him stuff for him creating the add-on, the over 18 idea is completely ludacris...

hum... I guess this means you do not pay plane tickets very often then.... .

I've always said I agree to meet people in the Montreal area whenever they want. As for somewhere else in the world, I'll have to think about that .

Anyway, it's probably easier and cheaper for Patchou to travel to 10 cities around the world and meet with groups by regions (and know new cities that way) (let's say, Buenos Aires for South America, London - UK, Paris - France, Tokio - Japan, Sidney -Australia, etc.) than 30 people traveling to a US or Canadian city and patchou paying meals for everyone.

To Be honest, I don't think it would ever happen.. If he did ever come to england and invite people, I'd be there like a shot with stigmata if Patchou allows us to go and meet him.... But the main thing I don't agree with in Paris is that he's buying food and drink, why is he paying for you when you didn't even pay for his software.. its insane.

cos hes a nice person who likes doing stuff for the community whos supported him?

Well Patchou doesn't need to be there really, I'm sure people would like to meet the likes of me, wtbw , Time, Zero1, Zipp, and Sean in the UK.  I know there all not forum members here but there all involved in the messenger community

isnt ZiPP dutch? :/ please dont tell me ive been thinking that for 2years, and its not true..... and aye to what you said wabz... i know ppl like you, alot better than i know patchou, i wouldnt have anything to say to him

Yeah I agree with Wabz. A little get together even without Patch would be good. I'd be up for that.

GUYS! We can't expect Patchou to travel all over the world just to have some meetings?
He's a human being too, you know?
Patchou already had to be in Paris for other stuff, and me and wtbw arranged to meet.
We later came with the idea that other people might want to meet too, so we invited everyone over.
Don't think Patchou is coming to Paris just to meet some persons of the community, wtbw and I don't live near paris either...
Just be happy if you're able to come to paris, and if you can't then that's just pity... YOU want to meet Patchou, so why should Patchou come to you? if you want to meet him, you do the travelling

That's just my two cents though...

We'll get on the phone to Morissey: see if he can't finance a world tour out of his own pocket.............

why dont we start a fund to pay for plane tickets to fly patchou around the word?

Why don't we just install the sponsor program and ask our friends to do the same so that patchou gets more money and travels around more

Yeah, that would be cool I suppose, good Idea, we could set up a paypal account or something, and get people to donate to the Messenger Plus! World Tour, that way, he wouldn't be out of pocket for the plane tickets at all.. nice idea saral.. I'm up for putting a link on my site, if someone is willing to create a small site for the 'messenger plus! world tour fund', and we could fly Patchou around the world, and if we make enough, which is a possibility, set up accomodation for Patchou.

its like how there are fan clubs of popular music artists that meet up from time to time, and the artist that they like usually go anyway.

I'd like to meet a lot of the forum members, and if Patchou came, it'd be a bonus.

hehe! ty but it would have to be in scotland, or nearish... cos its pretty expensive to get to london and its a long way.... n takes like 4-5hrs

Erm... about that paypal account, with all respect, but I don't like a 14/15-year old in charge of something like that. Also it isn't "transparent": we don't know what will be done with the money. Not that I don't trust you personally, but this isn't something which can be taken lightly like "oh, let's make a paypal account, it is cool"...

If someone is going to do it, it should be someone well trusted and old enough and very close to Patchou (if not Patchou himself), like..... Fraisie...

The idea is nice though. But as Kangie and others also pointed out, Patchou isn't our property. We can't go demanding that he comes to there and there. He has a life too (going to Disneyland and watching anime and all ) The reason why there is a meeting at the 27th is because he happens to be in Paris anyways. Also about the locations: If you want him to "travel the world" then pick places which are further appart. What I mean is London and Paris is as good as the same place (on a world scale). Why not each capital of every country in that case (actually.... lol... nah...)?

(it's not because I'm very lucky and being able to go to Paris that I say this though, it is just... being realistic)

But as said, the prinicpal idea is nice though and food for thought...

my 3 1/2 cents...

I think you all lost the meaning of these meetings, which is after all to see patchou in real, i mean, it's an experience... It's not a business meeting or something

If u think that is long...MINE TAKES 24 HRS!!!!!AND IT COSTS ALOT 4 YUR INFO..MAYB ARD S$4K++ JUST 4 THE AIRFARE...AND THAT IS EXCLUDING TAXES AND ACCOMODATION!!!!btw im a child..and if a child's ticket costs that much..imagine an adult ticket!!!

---

ummmm.... calm down msg!fan!!! i was only saying... god :/
dont go then.... why not see if patchou would be going nearer to you? would make a bit more sense tbh.... and im not sure if the invitation would be open for ppl who are too young.... cos someone would have to be appointed to be responsible, and i doubt parents would let it happen...
