Remember that it's summer and that that is not the best time to spent indoors. That counts for players and developers. I think that the summer temeratures are lower in the european countries. The UK has far most NY-members in europe and the general temerature over there (I suppose) is much lower than the general temperature in the US. Next to that it's correct that we have a sertain atmosphere. I got a lot of friends from the Net Yaroze-scene (and I hope they feel the same about me too). I live in Holland (and we have very little Games Industry) and the NY-membership is a great oppertunity to get a little closer to the UK-industry (I hope). Cheers DEnnis... PS. to all americans... Just get into the European scene and join our news-groups, my profilelist and the mailinglist.
