Thanks to a happy but temporary geographical coincidence, I got the chance to share a couple of beers with Oblicno last evening.
This is the first face-to-face either of us have had with another FSMer, and a couple of hours passed by in a flash as we sat outside a bistro in sunny Paris....I mean, Manchester.
Ritual gifts were exchanged, which is the custom whenever emissaries of the white and red rose houses of York and Lancaster meet in the field (or on the pavement, in this instance) and stories and anecdotes were told around our pint glasses - the urban equivalent of the campfire.
It was great to be able to discuss film music with someone who's at least as enthusiastic about it as I am, and how strange to actually say, instead of write, such odd words as LoDuca, Giacchino, Thaxton, Anzaldiman, Manderley, Thor and Gumdrops.
So thanks, O - I had a great time, and trust that we'll do it again when the opportunity arises.

As is so typical with you, TG, I had to Google up "Pennines" to fully comprehend your title meaning. Seems you're always teaching me something new (by choice or necessity)!
Very glad that you and Oblicno finally got the chance to meet, and yes, it is, indeed, a much more rewarding experience discussing scores and such with a real LIVE person! Did you drink him under the table (with that very long, hollow leg of yours)?
And to Oblicno...How I envy you! Chris (and his whole family) has become one of my most treasured friends over the past couple of years, and I only hope that one day I will be able to meet him and his wonderful wife and girls. (Now give me the "dirt!" Ha! Only kidding!)
Really, I wish we didn't have such a big pond seperating us! Doesn't seem fair somehow. 
Oh well, maybe someday!

Damn, I'd love to have this experience again - the three occasions I have done it have been very interesting.
Cine-sin, are you still around?
Anyone in Sydney up for coffee?

There's a number of them here but none of them like me.
It's really too bad because there must be a dozen of us living in and around the Los Angeles area.

Ahhhh....this is the kind of thing I love to read. REAL-LIFE encounters between FSM'ers. And a few beers.
I've met two of the Norwegian FSM'ers (Nils and Bjarte - both infrequent posters) plus an American member - no more posting - who was in Oslo on a business trip of sorts (he's an orchestrator). That's it.
This is why Williams needs to do another concert in London. The ultimate get-together of the European FSM'ers (and any non-Europeans who can afford the trip across the pond).
NP: AIR FORCE ONE (Goldsmith)
Aye, summer, a Williams concert, beers and chat sounds ace. I never get to chat about film music really, unless i'm trying to explain to someone why i like it, and they don't understand. To chat to TallGuy was great - orner, Morricone, Beltrami, Goldsmith, Barry - they all got a mention. We could all sit around some London pub and have a seperate table for 'banned' members, just to the side of us too.
It mihgt sound like the start of a joke though, 'Three Norwegians, a Yorkshireman, a Lancastrian, and four Americans walk into a pub...'

Ahhh thinks the landlord, they look stupid, I think I'll overcharge them?!
After charging them £45 for 9 pints the landlord turns to the group and says "we don't get three Norwegians, a Yorkshireman, a Lancastrian and four Americans around these parts often?"
"Not surprised at your prices mate" replies most of the group except the Norwegians who can't believe how cheap the beer is!
okay....I admit it....that was lame!
I'll get my coat
