People coming at 4pm: Trian, Kriechstrom People who showed up late and met up with the people above: Kliment

We met up and had a ton of fun and sushi!

Still waiting for Kriechstrom's photos from his amazing camera.

Kliment earned the Abduction achievement by abducting Trian and Kriechstrom from the (50, 6) geohash on 2008-09-13.

Kriechstrom's report: The geohash for the 50N 6E graticule in 2008-09-13 was located in a small park in the centre of Cologne, Germany. I was there at 4pm and noticed somebody suspiciously watching me when I was suspiciously waving around my GPS like Lt. Riker with his tricorder. It turned out to be Trian. Some minutes later even moar internet arrived: Kliment joined in. After we met up there we noticed that the hash was right inside a lake that looked like the shadow of a tree on Google Earth. Holding the GPS-device with a stretched arm over the water did the thing. Kliment even had the possibility to show his PDA-bag is nearly waterproof. After some chatting he offered to go to his place to have some food and so we decided to - geohashing is adventure + meeting people, ain't it?

So we went to his place, having some _very_ nice sushi, self-made-yoghurt and a chat about various topics about swords and xkcd, raptors are scheduled for the next meeting. We made up some sketches for a abduction-acheivement though I voted for calling it hospitality-award. Thanks again Kliment for being such a friendly host. I definetly enjoyed it! --Kriechstrom 21:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
