Metafiltroids daisyk and Zarkonnen are currently in Helsinki for Worldcon 75. Surely we are not the only Metafiltonites here? Let's meet up at Olutravintola Nurkka, a pub a few hundred metres away from the site!

Worldcon is in Helsinki this year (http://www.worldcon.fi) and I'm bringing resident 11 year old. Dates are 9-13 August though I think we are arriving on the 8th. Anyone else planning to be there? I've been to 2 Worldcons before and generally the problem I've found is I have no problem talking to new people but meeting up with people I already know can be difficult if we haven't made concrete plans as Worldcon is just so big. While I am all about the sitting and drinking, that probably won't be very 11 yo friendly so I am open to other suggestions - maybe a picnic or walk near the convention centre? Or an evening meal?

Hello Mefites, Slush tech and startup conference is happening in Helsinki on 18th and 19th November. Is anyone flying in for this? [more inside]
