After #tookapichero it looks like we're going to make it to our third birthday. I just wanted to give you the heads up - the party will for sure take place on Saturday, October 14th, 2017, at Explorer HQ, Białystok, Poland.

We'll be posting updates here on Talks and will soon set up a meetup.com event, so we know exactly how many poeple there will be.

There's no strict plan for the party yet (we're working on it), but I can tell you that it will be fun (last year definitely was). So if you have some suggestions, feel free to post them. If you'd like to take the stage for few minutes - let me know!

I'm hoping to see some of you from outside of Poland this year.

Aga Ka Great to hear Pawel. I am to far away to visit, this year anyway, but I am happy that tookapic will get its 3rd birthday and I am happy for people who can come to the party. Is the date 14th actual tookapics birthday?

Paweł Kadysz The actual date is October 9th, but we want the party to take place on weekend, so more people can come.

Aga Ka aah... asked cause it is my birthday on october 14th ;-)

Magda Korzewska I will try to make it this year.

Jennifer Looking at flights now ^.^

Chen YiZhou Our member comes from all over the World, maybe after we grow to a certain stage, we can celebrate the day in member's own cities, like China, Japan, etc. We can share together by live broadcast

craig Great news! I won't make it in person but will be there in spirit, thinking of you all (and having a small celebration too).

Lauren Huston I would love to go. :(

I will need to live vicariously through everyone else. Take lots of photos! :)

vera I also would love to come!!!! But not sure I can... I'll try and say it you soon!

tania 'd be great !

vera I'm so sorry... I won't be able to come in Poland... but my heart will be with you Tookapikers!

Urszula Stachowicz Oh my, I was planning to go for a short trip on October somewhere but I wasn't thinking about Białystok. But it's so tempting... :D Only 6 hours driving. ;)

Darek Nice, me and @Etherliana we will try to appear if You don't mind :D

Paweł Kadysz I have to think about it. Just kidding. Looking forward to seeing you!

Wemas see You soon :)

Kazzi Have You talked to Olympus about bringing some cameras to test or should I do it? :D

Paweł Kadysz I'm not sure there will be time for that.

Kazzi Okay. Maybe a spontaneous tookawalk on Sunday?

Paweł Kadysz Depends on hangovers. Last year I didn't make it. But sure!

Kazzi I'll talk about it after next weekend, I'm meeting with some Oly guys

Maciek Korsan I'll be there ;)

Tiljans I'll try to come. Think its a good reason to travel to Poland...

Kazzi If anyone wants to visit Cracow afterwards, I can offer a spare bed (or even two) ;)

Kazzi are You taking Mr. Grzęda with You? :)

Jennifer I might want to take you up on that if the option is still open 😊

Paweł Kadysz Pssst, we now have official meetup site: meetu.ps/3ddcHw - RSVP is required to join the tookapic birthday party, because the space we have is limited.

Magda Korzewska I am still not sure for 100% but I do my best.

agnieszka bladzik for now is 88% sure I will be there, only thing is work stuff that can mess this plan ;)

Paweł Kadysz There's ultra fast wifi at where the party will take place. You can take your work here :P

agnieszka bladzik haha yeah I'll be taking work for home for whole week anyway, unless they will sent me some diffrent direction ;)

120mr I've signed up :)

Kazzi Can we promote it on Facebook and other social media? We've got a group, that's dead for five months - facebook.com/groups/1221946781...

Paweł Kadysz Yes. Not yet though. Next week probably.

ponzu What if on October 14 you did a photowalk in Białystok (to go with the October 7 Worldwide Photowalk theme) and shared it with us? Not sure what the platform for sharing would be. I think most of the users here have a Flickr account.

You can even have two walks: before and after the party :) I'd be curious to see if the "after" shots get more creative :)

agnieszka bladzik bought the tickets :D

Kazzi I took my car for yearly inspection a month earlier just to be sure it'll take our tookabodies from Cracow to WhiteSlope... and my route back includes Poznań :D

Kazzi *included. Now I don't have any specific plans after tookabirthday, and I have three days to spare.

Kazzi It's THIS WEEK!

agnieszka bladzik in fact it's today!

Etherliana I was not sure if we would be able to arrive so I did not have any accommodation ... can someone recommend a place to stay?

Paweł Kadysz Try Airbnb or ask here: meetup.com/tookapic/events/243... - I know some people booked Airbnbs, and maybe they have a free spot left. If not, there's a hotel very close to where the party will take place (50m), but it'll cost you about 190 pln per night (breakfast included).

Etherliana Dziękuję za informację :)

azumac I'm sending happy birthday thoughts your way -- they should be floating over there by the weekend! ;D have fun!

Kazzi Since some of us are already in Białystok, how about a spontaneous tookawalk? I'll be free around 10-11 and I definitely will visit Explorer HQ (just to know, where do we meet that few hours later), so we can start there... or If anybody knows a better place to meet (I'm in this city for the first time in my adult life), feel free to answer.
You can write here or call/sms 609-727-321 :)

Paweł Kadysz Explorer HQ will be empty (and probably closed) until 13:30. That's when I get there to prepare the place. If you want to have lunch, there's Kawelin restaurant in Esperanto Hotel (50m from Explorer HQ) - good food and decent prices. And also vis-à-vis there's Horyzont restaurant with equally good lunches.

I'm not sure at what time they start serving lunch though :P

Kazzi If I'm hungry, I always can visit Krowarzywa ;) but I just want to know, where HQ is, and there I'll start my walk around town :)
