I won't even bother asking those of you in the München area if you're attempting 2013-01-21 48 11 but when you'll be there ;) It's even neatly located in a public park of some sort, that's a lucky hit not to be missed. We could attempt some funny achievements if anyone's interested. So - who's in? When will you be there? And what would you propose? Greetings, and have a nice weekend, Münchners :) -The T-Man 09:58, 18 January 2013 (EST)
- I'd certainly like to go. Due to my lectures I'd have to go either in the morning at around 11 a.m. or later that evening, which I can't be sure about, but probably about 6:30 p.m., and hopefully not later than 8 p.m. Snowman achievement would be an obvious one. --DerFlob 19:40, 18 January 2013 (EST)
- vermouthandgin and I are in too. However it would only be possible for me quite late, i.e. after work and the lesson I give to a student between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Fortunately the hash is really near where this student lives. So for me around 8:15 p.m. most probably. Another possibility would be to meet before the time I give this lesson, which requires me to leave work earlier. In this case it would be around 6:15/30 p.m. but vermouthandgin won't be able to come at that time (her lecture on monday ends at 6:30 p.m. ... Anyway, with the hash being around 4 km from home, we'll be attempting in any case :) — Zertrin 08:23, 19 January 2013 (EST)
- Looks to me like it would be best and the least stressful for the three of you if we pushed the meeting to shortly past 8 p.m. so that you can finish your duties first. It's always better to know that there's nothing left waiting to be done ;) Scherzkeks will also attend. Also, I'll see who else I could reach. -The T-Man 02:42, 21 January 2013 (EST)
- I'll try to come, too, and 8pm +X is perfect for me, too. -Rogenheck

Expedition
Scherzkeks and The T-Man
On the one hand, we had some really tasty dinner. On the other hand, we were a bit behind our schedule because of that. Additionally, The T-Man once more didn't really succeed at finding the shortest path and got out of the subway one station early. After walking for about 20 minutes, we got to the spot, where everybody else had already arrived. A very, very small snowman had already been set up and IdealStandard was preparing some hot spiced wine. The wine had finally reached the intended temperature, was given out and enjoyed by everyone. After a couple of minutes of chatting and introducing everybody to each other (after all, München hasn't seen such a large meetup for, well, a very long time), group photos were taken and rkschlotte had to get back home.
The remaining geohashers started building a bigger snowman, which they fortunately had very good conditions for. The snow had exactly the right degree of stickiness and could easily be formed into the respective snowman segments. After taking some pictures of the finished snowman, our belongings were replaced with some natural substitutes that could be left at the scene and we got back home. Zertrin and vermouthandgin took off to get something to eat. And IdealStandard, DerFlob, Scherzkeks and The T-Man got back to the subway, this time not following The_T-Man and therefore taking the shortest route.
