Berlin Meet-Up -- And Possibly Amsterdam Too
I'll be speaking at a social dynamics conference in Berlin at the end of April and probably staying in the city for a while afterwards. Other than switching planes at the Frankfurt airport last year, this will be my first-ever trip to Germany. I'm very excited to go. Ethnically I'm actually 1/4 German (my grandfather's last name was Schmidt).
The details of this trip haven't been worked out yet, but the tentative plan is to do a road-trip with some friends after the conference, heading west through Germany and then into the Netherlands. Instead of planning everything out in detail, I prefer to enjoy a fairly open-ended, go-with-the-flow type of trip, seeing what opportunities come up along the way and being guided by intuition.
I expect we'll go to Amsterdam sometime in early May and have a meet-up there as well, but no promises yet.
Rachelle plans to go on this trip too. After Holland we might even pop over to the UK. I've never been there either.
The details of any confirmed meet-ups will be posted to my blog, Twitter, and Google+ pages at least a few days before they happen, and I'll likely announce them in a future newsletter too.
If you have any suggestions for what go to go/see/do in Germany or Holland while we're there, please let me know (you can just reply to this email). Just be aware that I don't speak German or Dutch. :)
As always, these meet-ups are free. Normally we gather together for a couple of hours in some public space and talk about life, the universe, and everything. The size of a meet-up usually correlates with the population of the city, so the bigger the city, the bigger the meet-up. New York City was our biggest so far with about 40 people.
