Because some of you lovely, lovely people are friends of mind whose e-mail address I don't have, I'm taking the somewhat rash step of throwing my birthday gathering plans open to Barbelith. Clare Short says it's "reckless", but she'll soon change her mind. Here's the details, shamelessly cut and pasted from the email I just sent out:

hello children,

in these dark days of war and uncertainty, it's my belief that every excuse to get rowdy and crunk should be grasped with both hands. and on Saturday 12th April, I hit the quarter-century mark (that means I'll be 25, maths kids).

as a man of simple pleasures, I'd like you peeps to join me in the Jorene Celeste pub in Kentish Town from around 4pm onwards. it's a nice, roomy pub and serves good Thai food in the evening at an affordable price. I shall be attempting to seize and secure a strategic position with a small advance team of special forces earlier in the afternoon (volunteers welcome), so arrive as and when you can.

directions: come out of Kentish Town tube station and turn left. after about 1 mins walk, the Jorene Celeste is on your left, and we'll be towards the rear. streetmap link here. that's April 12th, the fourth Saturday from today.

feel free to bring friends, lovers etc as long as they're not evil warmongers and/or Nickelback fans.

hope to see you there: non-compliance may have serious consequences.

I too look 4wd to some serious crinking.

Finances permitting I'll be there to crink like a fush.

Shit, I've just realised I'm older than the Flyboy! Otherwise, will endeavor to be there.

I'll hopefully be there. It'll be good for you to let your hair down for once.You're usually so sober and restrained!!

Crunk? Crink? Why not crimped? I'll be there.

You're sounding dangerously close to Jimmy Saville there Illmatic!!

Excellent, excellent.

ghadis: it feels like a bloody long time since I let my hair down, I'll tell you that. Could be an illusion though.

Oh, and hope no-one minds the gallows humour - wasn't sure how else to invite people to a party with things as they are...

the gallows humour was fine fly, very endearing actually.

I shall as ever wish to be there and who knows this time I may actually make it.

Who knows while one side of the world burns in hatred and the need of one man to prove himself better than his dad, this side will suddenly wake up and realise what a mistake it is to leave me rotting on the dole for so long and race to snap up my talents and pay me well.

Or on the other hand I could just go overdrawn again for the sake of a few beers and the train fare down to the smoke.

Who knows?

I'll be there, might bring along Eliza, Kelly and Vicki Fowler - only if that's ok with you Flyboy

Oh yeah - I will be down in Brighton the night before, plums, and I may be 'hopping' the train due to my own cash restrictions, so could always use a partner in Krime...

Bear: I have absolutely no idea what you could be referring to. These days my heart belongs strictly to Chloe Sevginy, on a motorcycle.

I would hate to be uncompliant and thusly shall be in attendance in spirit if not in beer.

I won't be there, as I'll be at work trying to kill customers with my eyes if they even fucking try to look disapprovingly at my nail varnish (I have need for it all weekend, so it bloody well better stay there).

Hope yr birthday's all fun n' stuff.

I'll be there but in a distracted oh-fuck-i-should-be-chained-to-my-computer kind of way and then hopefully alcohol-will-help-must-get-more kind of way. Fun!

I'd love to join, especially since my 32nd is April 11. Sadly, my, uh, Lear jet is in the shop and my yacht is being repainted, and I'm banned from most airlines, otherwise I'd get my sorry arse out of Cali and hoist a few pints with y'all.

Have a Great One. Go Aries!

I intend to be there, work permitting. But if I don't make it, someone crink to Fly for me.

not sure if any other threads have mentioned but I have seen posters for an anti-war demo on this date down in the smoke.

If people already know then I apologise for stating the bleeding obvious, if people don't know (or mentioned each where) then I bask in the superior feeling for a few moments.

my attendance is still up in the air, over-draft is already feeling the pressure of me just living at the moment...

Soz babe -- am booked in for someone's 30th that night. And I have to meet different friends in the afternoon. And I'm so not dashing around London to do three or four different things in one day like I have been known to do, because it wears me out and I never stop long enough to relax.

Proxy crinking - stoatie, that's fucking vile.

Should imagine Flyboy will crinked up and down then.

Grovel, grovel, cringe, bow, stoop, fall. Have just discovered the downside to gainful employment and I'm working all bloody day. Apologies. Bring on the proxy doxies and I shall have to crink you soundly at a later date.

It's OK, I'm sure we won't miss you. I'll be there, Fly, and I'll bring a Canadian and an American along too if you don't mind.

Are these gathering just for the hardcore Barbelithers or open invitations?

I'll be there, but will be marching first.

Despite all the odds, I've managed to get Saturday night off work! So I'll be there whenever I wake up. (Intending to do the silent vigil thing first, but have a funny feeling I'll just pass out when I get in from work in the morning.) And I won't have to fuck off to go to work! So I'll be able to do some serious crinking!

10:37 / 11.04.03
Excellent. By the way, if anyone not from Barbelith asks how you know me, the correct answer is "through a mutual interest in radical politics", not "that website about comics"...

I'm just keeeeeeding.

"These are my friends. I met them online."

And tumbleweeds rooooollll across the suddenly silent pub's floor ...
