I don't know if I am obsessed but everytime I see ToS members moving around Earth, or even when I see somebody's location, I wonder: "Are there any other ToS/other Avatar forums members?" I sure know there's at least one in Finland (that's a hint for Mikko :P)

On the other side, if anybody shows up on one's ikran or the direhorse close to Barcelona - just whistle! I am here :) :rolleyes:

(Ghaziya, I remember you liked Barcelona??)

I got to the exhibit on Sunday! Streets crowded for the Torchlight Parade. It seemed to show signs of being laid out in themed areas, at least, it looked like the entryway was the Avatar lab and it led into the forest? Well worth the detour it took to get there.

any photos to share?? :rolleyes:

Ma Alan! Your ikran has finally got here today - Huu-Wah! :D:D:D

It took him a while (I suspect it checked out the Pyrennean Iknimaya on the way, & maybe even took a dip in the Mediterranean (which was not on the way at all) - but yes, it landed, safe, sound & with the DVD in his teeth (& in one piece)! Txantsan!

A perfect timing, too: I was on a downer which I suspect is uncurable PAD / PSD relapse, that never truly goes, & was really gloomy when an administrator girl suddenly appeared with your package in her hand - & lo and behold, the downer vanished, I suddenly started seeing the light - & maybe even bioluminiscence too! (well, at least in my imagination :P) Sometimes a change only takes a second...

I am writing this quickly before I watch it & thanks for the Warning: Leaky Eyes Syndrome - ah well ma tsmukan, it's like rain, isn't it? If it aint' raining - we aren't training! :xD:

Big Irayo to you right now - it's so good that friends exist :) it makes life a bit more bearable... I am off to Pandora in Seattle! don't expect me any time soon... :)

apache_blanca 08-02-2011 05:06 PM

(I've just watched the video)
ahhh what can I say? :(:):(:)
I guess I just have to survive till Seattle 2012... :'( *leaky eye syndrome kicks in*
Truth be told, I can't even define how I feel - what I do know is that I kept my hands pressed to my chest the whole time & didn't breathe :shock: then yes, I did cry... at that last bit...:'( I am a bit lost for words actually...
but THANK YOU Alan I just can't find a big enough IRAYO for you...

Oh, and Our Only Home is an excellent video. In case you didn't know hehe. Thanks a lot to all the crew. Just shows what people can achieve when they really set their minds on the purpose.

Hey, Sempu :hi: Glad you made it. So what's the possibility of joining us next year in Seattle? It'd be great to meet up at last.

Ahh, so glad it arrived ok. Unfortunately some Ikrans still haven't manage to make it to some of their destinations - yet! Hopefully they will soon.

Awww, ma Apache. Well you are most welcome. Its the people who made it you know. All I did was observe and put it together. Must say a massive IRAYO to Mikko for the photos. He did an excellent job of captureing 'moments', especially when people we not aware, which was great.

Ah, well that's what is known as 'The Avatar Effect'; it brings people together and makes them do things they thought were impossible. Irayo James Cameron and your team for inspiring us all.

Yes it would, Alan. The odds are small; is there an exact date yet?

I hope you can make it. :)

The dates are July 19th-23rd, 2012. (most likely, things could change)

Human No More 08-03-2011 07:13 PM

19-23 July.

It isn't 100%, but seems very unlikely to change now. I am waiting for that 100% myself so I can get plane tickets booked :)

Err,...yeah...wot Aketuan said! Hahaha. :D Well, hope you can make it. It would be great to meet up face to face at last after all this time.

Aketuan 08-03-2011 08:00 PM

One thing to keep in mind though...there will most likely be an "outdoor activity" of some sort AFTER the official meetup. Maybe a camping trip or backpacking trip or hiking...ect

So I would hold off on buying plane tickets just yet...

The outdoor stuff could take up to 2-3 days...

prowler 08-03-2011 08:14 PM

Aketuan, you could put 50% chance of me coming next year, since i will try to come. It's just money that's my problem atm... :hmm: but i still got a year to save. so put 50% chance for me ;)

Sempu, have you been here yet? First June, then July... next 2012!

There is a very nice list of the clan members willing to come ;)
