I'm the organizer of Euro-Marauderville (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=101082) which is taking place concurrently to the original Marauderville in Cologne, Germany and I was wondering if perhaps you guys would be interested in a skype conference call between the two Maraudervilles in Cleveland and Cologne.

If there is any interest my suggestion would be to do it on September, 9th at 8 pm Central European Time which would be 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time for you in Cleveland. What are your thoughts? Any chance this could be included in the official MV 2016 Itinerary?

JSignorrelli was interested in a conference call. Well have to see if his grand kids can set him up with Skype.;)

I think it would be great. Timing is the biggest issue. I checked the state side itinerary and looks like most of us will be in and around the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at 2 pm on the 9th. Maybe you and Ken can coordinate a suitable day and window of time?

I just returned from my train crossing of Canada, followed by a Princess cruise from Vancouver to Anchorage. I have been out of touch for four weeks.

I saw that crack about needing help from minors in setting up a skype call.... One question....what is skype?

How can I register for MV14. I can't find the email or posting. Found it. I told you I was old.

Hey Marvin:

Joanne and I will be wearing our 2nd Annual Euro-Marauderville shirts when we make the call.

We will send pictures.

I can check on internt connection for 2pm on Saturday at the car show, if that works?

Doing this would be a first for any Marauderville, and I like the idea. Hopefully those with more experience with Skype will chime in.

I'm going to check with the other Euro folks for Saturday night, nothing particular is planned a that time yet, we'll probably be back in the hotel or finding a place to eat somewhere.

However some of us will already be on their way home at that time so you'll only be talking to half of the Euro crew then.

The Euro half of Marauderville will be at Miss Peppers, near Koln, on Friday night. This is 2:00 PM Cleveland time.

Using the cell phone connection would work for contacting the Koln crowd as they would be at the restaurant, either eating, or have just finished eating.

I think I am all set with the video call. My grand-daughter explained it to me.

I texted our others friends in Koln who ate dinner at Miss Pepper's last year. All I need is the start time for dinner so I can pass it along to Jonas and Thea.

If I asked my parents for help with my cell phone... they would say..."What is a cell phone?"

I was at the Rock hall this past Friday morning, it has free wi-fi, if that helps our connection. Just have to decide where to meet. The first level may work for a big group, but we can talk to them Friday

Excellent, glad we can make the call on Friday happening, all other days would have been a bit difficult to do for us. Our table at Miss Peppers is reserved for 6.00 PM Cologne time so we're meeting up at around 5:45 PM in their parking lot which is 11:45 AM Cleveland time for you.

Jim, would you like to do a quick test run on skype with me before the meeting just to make sure everything works properly?

I am also bringing my laptop. One way or the other, this video conference is going to happen.

Make sure that the gang knows where to rally together in the Hall of Fame.

Germany is six hours ahead of us. When we call at 2:00 PM, our local time, it will be 8:00 PM at the restaurant in Koln. (Cologne)

Everything is set up and working, fingers crossed the wifi in the restaurant will be stable enough to give us a good connection for a video chat. Hope to see you all on Friday!

Thought I read and saw pictures of 7 Marauders this year. But not sure if it was on this site or the mm.net Facebook page...

Need an update from our friends across the pond.The attempt was to be made while we were at the R&RHof F. Jim was having an issue getting a strong enough WiFi connection to make it happen. Unless he found one later in the day I don't think the Skype time happened.

Are there pictures of this years Euro-Marauderville?

Yes, I talked to Jim before the planned Skype link at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He said he was in touch via text. Just trying to find the final outcome and get an update on The 2nd Euro-Marauderville.

It is a closed group. It's MercuryMarauder.net and the group picture is a black MM doing a burnout.

I'm so sorry I haven't gotten around to post about Euro-Marauderville yet. We are currently in the process of moving house so my whole life is pretty much in boxes right now, including my girlfriends camera which we used to take most of the pictures. I posted a few pictures on Facebook that I took with my phone which was quick and easy, Mebot already shared them here I see, thanks for that!

Once my life is getting back to normal in our new apartment I will be doing a proper write up about Euro-Marauderville with lots of pictures, my girlfriend loves to take pictures so there's litterally a ton, but until then you will have to excuse me for a while. In the mean time perhaps any of the other Euro members could chime in a post some of theirs? Dereck where are you at?
