Location

A street near "Sokol" Metro station.

Participants

January First-of-May, and presumably vb

Plans

January First-of-May

Get to Sokol by metro, visit some friends nearby (and possibly take them to hash), walk to hash, return to metro. If lucky, might time it up with 4pm.

Expedition

January First-of-May

I noticed nearly ten years later that this successful expedition (and IIRC my only successful meetup) is categorized as "not reached, did not attempt". This is spectacularly incorrect.

As far as I can remember (in 2023), I did visit the friends (they no longer live there...) but they weren't interested in going to the hashpoint, and I went to the hashpoint and waited there until vb showed up.
I kept the archive of our email discussion so I can reconstruct the timing: I arrived at 16:07, and waited for vb until at least 16:17. I'll wait for vb's permission before I post the actual emails :-)

The emails don't discuss what happened afterwards. As I recall, we talked for a bit, then walked (while continuing to chat) to some distant metro station - most likely either Aeroport or Dinamo. Then I probably went home and I forgot where he went.
