[Kir Nuyts]

Lol Hyver ...
So when do we meet? :o I guess it s a bit cold too sketch outside atm , plus lots of people have exames and stuff :s

Maybe we schould pick a date somewhat far in the future...like say easter and make it say an Easter C.A. Workschop Insomnia thingy ...

We could like actually do something; get drunk, see classic art, see movies, play lazy games, play lazy and when we have time we could pick up a pencil and sketch abit

KK added some dudes from the forum...btw any Belgians in the God's @ War TD contest?? Darn i need to start working on it asap! KK im off drawing :l
Cheers,
Kir

[Zergaloth]

i always wonder...
these thunderdomes and lastmanstanding stuff always appears in the finally finished section, and I'm always startled cause I didn't hear about its start.
How can i participate? Where's the right topic?

rhetorical question - i know there's a search engine...

[Hyver]

there's a Challenge Arena subforum to be found.. check that

[spartiate]

Hi a new guy from Belgium, me. I'm 16 half greek half romanian but I am born in Belgium, I'm still at school with a lot of work and draw when I have time. J'ai vu que beaucoups de vous êtes plus ages que moi mais ce n'est pas grave, le dessin sa réunit tout le monde!
Als u het wilt kunt u tegen me nederlands praten, maar ik versta het niet zo goed als Frans, alle salut

[Sopor+Aeternus]

hey cool belgian topic thingy! I m in too
vote for gent!
(hope this topic is still alive..)

[FlatHead]

And another! I live near Ieper (or Ypres).

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Hi flathead. Great to see a dae'er here on the forums

[Kir Nuyts]

So...Maybe we should set up a meeting around easter? Anyone up for that? Welcome to the new belgian members! And is it gonna B Gent? or what?

Everythin is fine for me...i prefer Leuven but i guess im alone for that one :p So i'll join up in Gent. Let's meet at the trainstation, most people will b travelling by train?

Greetz! und Beso X

[Hyskoa]

Set a date, and the place is gent trainstation and we'll see who can make it.

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Easter is fine for me too in Gent. Looking forward to it!

[Zergaloth]

Anytime...

[Sopor+Aeternus]

anytime too for me, prefer gent yes
looking forward!

[Hyver]

i'm game, if i'm not loaded with work at that time

so who's gonna pull this one together? any volunteers? plans?
st-pieters station would be a good starting point, but some kind of idea of what we could do to spend the day would be nice..

[Hyskoa]

10 am arrive, sketch in a bar till noon. Eat at one of the restaurants around the trainstation. Make our way to the movies on foot, catch the 14 o clock showing of a movie. Be done by 16.00 ish. Go bowling or play pool for an hour and a half. Find a place for some healthy sandwiches(dunno where this though :p) Which would make it around 18.30.
After that we can draw/talk/drink till people have to leave again.


But this is only a rough planning.


Also, someone else gets to be a responsible adult for the day, I have to play one for the rest of the year for my classmates >_>

[Jonas Heirwegh]

Looks pretty ok to me

maybe after the movie we can go to some inspirational monuments or paintings?

[Hyskoa]

Would already be 16.00 By then, and most places take a while to walk to for any nice art to watch. There's always the SMAK, but that's modern art. As in "Look at the pretty black circle, it has 500 meanings and symbolized the artist taking a dump on the toilet, but it's still a black circle". Just in case anyone is dying to see stuff like that.

So you'll have to chose, either see a movie or visit the church with work from reubens, van eyck, ... but I'm not 100% sure if it will be open, damn those churches and their free spirit.

Either is fine really.
Just make sure you people decide in time.
The movies are around 8 ish euro, the van eyck around 5 euro.

[Hyver]

2 eurocents worth: skip the movie and go to a worthwhile museum instead (schone kunsten.. is dat alweer open voor publiek? it's been ages..)
i've seen the lam gods a thousand times before, but i'd be happy to tag along to st-baafs anyway, plenty of goodies to see/sketch there

[chaosrocks]

I hope you all are doing somethign in August...cuase I think I may be in Kasterlee with my family for august.

Was thinking of that, but no. End of the year. Otherwise we would definitly have gone there.

[Hyver]

chaos: you should know that 90% of belgium is on holidays in Benidorm during that time :p

then again, there's always the annual unofficial ca-gathering at the hyver mansion

[Hyver]

by the by, as for dates during the easter holidays: sunday !th and sunday 15th are big no-no's for me.. how's weekdays for you folks?

[Kir Nuyts]

Yeah, i prefer to meet during the week...In the weekends im just doing stuff. Btw what's wrong with a good movie?
I would v loved too see little miss sunshine but missed it...Too b short: im a bit of a movie geek, altough i almost never go to the movies.
Musea is also really fine by me, but the SMAK is just not my thing (a bit too modern for my taste) so i prefer more classical masterworks.

Btw Hyver are u gonna get married? I tought i read that somewhere? Can i be a bruidsjongen?
A bit of pool is fine by me, as is the cafe drawing and stuff...Let's put a date?

[Art_Addict]

Maybe I'll join in on this stuff..

[Zergaloth]

Might join in, depends on quantity of school assignments.
Seeing a movie sounds a little weird for a (first) meeting.
Drinking and sketching, and I'm happy.

[Hyskoa]

I don't quite understand what you expect out of this zerg, but it's a meet, not a date...

You know, just so we're 100% clear on this :p

[Hyver]

shameless ad: i have 2 extra tickets for the Nine Inch Nails concert for sale (AB brussel, sunday 18th) - at cost of course (no scalping prices )

pm, mail or reply
cheers

[Hyskoa]

Seems like I'm occupied on wednesday, but I'm available the other days.

[Master Chill]

Yeeps, hope that I'm number 13 by now (but by the look off it I guess that place has already been taken:p)

Anyway, I live in West - Vlaandere, near Middelkerke. Yup, the sea that is ^^ anyway, hope to talk to ya guys a lot in nearby future -> [email protected] (maar vermeld wel da get van hier hebt he - want heb nogal es de neiging dinge te vergete :p)

Anyway, I'm at the same school as Jonas (and got lots of work as well )

and then there is this:

10 am arrive, sketch in a bar till noon. Eat at one of the restaurants around the trainstation. Make our way to the movies on foot, catch the 14 o clock showing of a movie. Be done by 16.00 ish. Go bowling or play pool for an hour and a half. Find a place for some healthy sandwiches(dunno where this though :p) Which would make it around 18.30.

Pleeeeeeease, can I still join? Cause I love your plan Melancholie, especially on a sunny day

Anyways, till later ya'all
Enjoy

[Hyskoa]

I don't think there's a limit to the amount of people we can take.
Let's say maximum amount is the amount of people we can get into one bar?
:p
