Rest of the world dont exist... too american =)

http://www.amigameeting.de/index.php?c=amiga&p=englisch - a rather big meeting (for Amiga scale) in northern Germany on October 11th-13th.

I think there are quite many meetings in Europe.

There's nothing like that in the UK anymore sadly.  There's the LAG every few months but it's not on the same scale as amigameeting.de or Amiwest are.

No demoscene parties anymore either.

Yes i know but i dont talk about meetings... in europe there is many users meetings that you can see more interesting things than in amiwest, and better don talk about the past... assembly in 90s was very nice.

The closest I got to a Amiga party is Datastorm each year, I would like to attend something like Amiwest at least once

There were rumours regarding the resurrection of the old UK show (I forget the name).
We also have the smaller Amiga North Thames events.

No demoscene parties?  Do you forget Sundown?

I'm seriously tempted by Amiwest but wondering if there'll be enough there to justify the cost.

I am thinking about attending.  Any idea on how many people show up to this event?

You're already in AZ.  Two tanks of gas and you're there, buddy.  If I was anywhere even remotely that close I would be too.    *sigh*

I could have sworn I read Sundown had finished for good.  Glad to see it's still alive, I'm tempted to go this September but Exeter is a looooong train journey from oop north.

There is a Chiptune festival in Manchester the week after Sundown actually.

Don't forget there is the Netherlands Commodore Show in Maarssen every 2 months.  Usually 80 to 120 people attend this Commodore and Amiga event.  For a tiny bit of information on the next show, dig around http://commodore.hcc.nl/

Don't forget Amiga North Thames meetings.  When I get back to Europe in 2014, I intend to get to both a LAG and an ANT meeting.

Ha, aaaand maybe someday we'll have an AmiEast, for all us outcasts on the wrong side of the country.  

Wasn't Commodore, when it had Amiga (the first time), in West Chester, Pennsylvania? :elvis:

Ha, we should have a meetup there.    Actually I've been scouting their old facility on Google Maps, looks like it's still there, although from what I've heard the building is completely gutted and the ground around it is full of hazardous waste.  Still planning on doing a drive-by photography trip though, next time I go visit family up in PA.

That was a different facility.  CBM headquarters in West Chester is now QVC (that shopping network).

I say we raid the QVC building and have an AmiEast AmigaCon Gathering there.  Kinda like a shrine. heheheh

Light some candles and say a few prayers.
