Ask HN: Any European HNers want to get a (free) drink?

17 points by ihartley ↗ HN
Hi HN, long time reader, first time submitter.

Anyway, I'm on a three week European vacation with no solid plans for most of it. I was wondering if there are any HN readers in France, Germany or Benelux that would like to meet up for a drink and some conversation.

There is a standing offer for drinks for HN people in Padova, Italy, which is a great area in any case:

Just come back from Venice few weeks ago, really great city to see.
davidw
Venice is neat, but Italy is 'fractally' interesting and beautiful, and there are interesting things even in small, out of the way places, such as some of the castles that at one point formed the border between the city states of Padova and Verona.

When you hit Berlin, we should get a decent group together. I know at least of @wheels and me, there should be more Berliners here...
jrockway
For some reason, I have an uncontrollable urge to say "Ich bin ein Berliner".

But actually, I have never been to Germany :)

I would join a meetup in Berlin as well, pubs are plenty around here ;-)

If any HNers ever need a stop over in 'Limburg', the Netherlands, they're free to stay on my couch.

(until last week it was a hammock, now we have a couch ;) )

Nice place. I also enjoyed Braga, which is smaller and a bit more laid back.

Live in Rotterdam & work in Delft. Let me know if you end up in the Netherlands.

Another point for Rotterdam here. I'm always up for a beer or two.
Gmo
Although I'm not living and/or working in the Randstadt (and I'm not even Dutch), can always be interesting to meet.

Not being Dutch shouldn't prevent you from having a beer :)

Please don't turn this into reddit, I come here to get away from all those "ASK"s. Go back to Reddit Prog, please.
