Haha, no need for fake ids in Europe :) :)

Not sure where in Europe you're located, but in England (with a drinking age of 18) the usage of fake IDs by 16 and 17 year olds is pretty frequent.

Croatia, funny thing I was in England few weeks ago.. I just can't imagine seeing a kid with a fake Id xD People would make fun of him in Croatia

It's a shame this isn't the UK - I'm going to be alone for christmas this year and it would have been cool to spend it with like minded, kind people such as yourself and Gautam.

Geekup (blackpool) generally have a christmas meal. It isn't the same but it's as close as your going to get. Good bunch of guys that go from the NW, most of @wearefarm will be there which are based around the corner from you

Very nice of you! on a related note, I'm curious. SwigMe.com seems very interesting, but I would think there are a lot of legal loopholes you need to jump through, no? What happens when teenagers try to order and present a good fake ID at the door?

I always thought that you can see fake IDs only on TV.. Do kids in USA really have "fake ids"? I mean cmon ..this is hilarious

They used to sell fake "college IDs" in the arcades at Times Square in NYC, not sure if they still do. But I was able to use that when I was 19 to buy beer at gas stations all the time.

I'd like to but it'll be 4 or 5 by the time I could get there. i'd probably just break their toilet or something on accident, as I'm prone to do at parties.

edit: And yes, Mr. Matt rocks. He even offered to pick me up at caltrain.

This is awesome. Kudos to you for posting, Matt.

I just moved to the city (it'll be 1 month tomorrow), but luckily I had great friends waiting for me who I'll be enjoying the evening with.

But the awesomeness of this post almost makes me want to join you regardless haha
