#fandom meet-up

[lifeaftermeteor]

It’s that time again!  We will be holding the next Gundam Wing Discord Meet-Up on APRIL 28-29, 2018.  Details are below!

Where can I join?

Discord offers both mobile and desktop applications in addition to its website, so fans can utilize whichever platform is easiest for them.  To join the Discord meet-up channel, head over here!  If you don’t have a Discord account, go here to set one up.

When can I join?

You can join the channel at any time (it is permanently open), but “official” events will start around 0900 EST both April 28 and April 29 and run until…well, whenever!  Fans are encouraged to pop in and out of the channel as their schedule and time zone allows.  

What do I do when I join?

For the uninitiated, Discord functions a lot like a chat room.  Within the channel itself (link above), there is the main discussion space as well as several others that can be utilized for everything from self-introductions, to brainstorming help and getting instant C&C, to sharing cute pet pictures and NSFW material.

This year's Sherlock Holmes Picnic will feature the usual lunch with huge amounts of cake, an Abominable Bride-themed wide game and finish with dinner and drinks at the Wetherspoons by Baker Street tube station. To help us plan everything, please show which you're intending to join in with.

Time to sign up for this year’s SHPicnic! If you're not sure if you're coming or not yet, bear in mind that you'll almost certainly get a fake moustache if you do.

The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell right to the top / Your time will come if you wait for it – AmsterDAMN 04/02/2016 – 07/02/2016 (11)

I will never ever in my entire life be able to thank everyone enough for everything they have done for me but this could be a start.

This weekend has been so worth it. So worth of every little thing that happened. Even the ticket trouble. Most of the time I just felt pure joy and happiness. And I felt so home with all of my internet friends around. I couldn't have asked for more. The concert was the most perfect show I ever got to witness. And the day off with the squad was so perfect as well. Even though I had so many physical pains. Even they were worth it. I would sell my soul to be able to live in these days forever. Those goodbyes were the most heartbreaking ones of my entire life because the days with the people I had to say goodbye to were the best, most wonderfully perfect ones of my entire life. They changed my life for the better forever. I never even had the slightest clue of how an album could change my life like Smoke + Mirrors by Imagine Dragons did. I made so many wonderful friends. My dream of having friends from all over the world came true just because of this piece of perfection. Just because I love the same band as so many other wonderful people. Just because of this one band. I will be forever grateful for having given Night Visions a try back in summer 2013. Also for having dared to ask Caya if I could join the Firebreathers WhatsApp group. Ever since those days no day had passed by I didn't think about this band. No day has passed that I wasn't being grateful for having them in my life. For them connecting me with the most amazing people in the entire world. I'm gonna let these memories live on in me forever.

No one ever tell me music doesn't connect people. It does. End of discussion.

I love Imagine Dragons so much.

Spread peace and love.
