I will be in the Hobbit drinking on Friday night. I don't find time to keep up with it, but would be interested to meet in the flesh some more barbs (barbies? barbizens? barblings? what's the word for a bunch of barbelith members anyway?)

Seth

20:15 / 22.04.03

I think 'geeks' is the word you're looking for there....

C.Elseware

21:23 / 22.04.03

I am not Elseware I am Quantum using him as a fictionsuit, and I am offended by the use of the pejorative 'Geeks', we are the nu generation of cool DISGUISED as Geeks....
Friday it is you lucky people, see you all there- it is traditional to bring a load of nice uninvited guests, see if you can get Crimes of Fashion and his tiger someone.
Much drinking and vice will be had, homemade invisibles badges de rigeur, aim for seven but we'll all get there eventually (even Reflect with any luck, double booking is no excuse)

Kamal Smith

23:33 / 22.04.03

umm... a hint. If you're trying to pull off 'cool', the word 'Nu' won't help, really.

Quantum

14:57 / 23.04.03

Not even ironically? how 'bout nu Pepsi generation?

Quantum

15:09 / 23.04.03

..and what's the collective noun for geeks? A clique of geeks? A weak of geeks? A trilogy of geeks?

Seth

16:28 / 23.04.03

A 'pus' of geeks?

Kit-Cat Club

16:42 / 23.04.03

A freak, obviously.

[I have nothing to do with this thread, I just like collective nouns...]

C.Elseware

17:07 / 23.04.03

a convention.

I'm pushing for the a barbelith meet to be termed "barbs in the flesh"

Leap

07:00 / 24.04.03

The great 'Unwashed'?

Caroline

09:35 / 24.04.03

Plus it has an all-day (12-7) Happy Hour on Fridays

Is there anyone else that intends to arrive before 7 and do this justice?

Kamal Smith

17:04 / 24.04.03

Fucking right.

Actually, fuck.

I'm driving.

No.

Arses.

jeff

18:49 / 24.04.03

Hmmmmmmjjj, Are any of you particularly approachable?

Leap

19:57 / 24.04.03

Yes, but only from downwind...........actually on second thought some are probably best not approach from that way

Kamal Smith

20:36 / 24.04.03

I'm lovely, me.

Except I'll probably be wincing a lot, as I've had two new tattoos and my nipple pierced today, so they might be giving my hassle.

Kamal Smith

17:05 / 26.04.03

Nice to meet you lot. Must do it again sometime.

Kamal Smith

08:15 / 03.06.03

Anyone up for a drink in either the Hobbit or the Dungeon this friday - the sixth, I think it is?

mondo a-go-go

09:53 / 03.06.03

Glad this all worked out, as per my suggestion.

You lot: be nice to Ali!

ephemerat

16:04 / 03.06.03

Alistair: Unfortunately a large number of us are off to London to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds this Friday. This'll include reflect, Jack the Bodiless, Spooks, Ma'at and myself. Plus elle is doing her finals and not keen on extra partying. Elseware and co may be around...

Caroline

17:20 / 03.06.03

Thank you rat for reminding me about the impending exams just as I was taking a barbelith study break! However, will be all finished by Friday so Alistair, I'll PM you my mobile mumber if you want to meet up.

Kamal Smith

21:26 / 03.06.03

Elle - Yeah. Sure. Sorry I don't know you by your username. Were you at the last meet up I was at?

KM - You tell them!

Seth

21:45 / 03.06.03

I've opted for Acid Mothers Temple at the Joiners instead of Nick Cave (screw up with the dates, who knew?). I might therefore be up for meeting up after eleven.

Caroline

22:18 / 03.06.03

Alistair, I'd like to be upset that you don't remember me but I can forgive you. Given the fact that people I've known for years still felt the need to inform me that 'in case I didn't know' I had gatecrashed a barbelith meet when I turned up.

Mobile number, IRL name and description to follow by PM.

Kamal Smith

07:03 / 04.06.03

Okay... now I know your name, of course I remember you. We bonded over psycho exes. I'll text you.

Caroline

14:24 / 06.06.03

So I guess I'll be in the Hobbit from around 6 o'clock if anyone's left in this town to join me.

Iverach

15:28 / 15.04.04

how about barbarella

Squirmelia

02:00 / 17.04.04

Well, we could meet in Southampton, England, this April, 2004 (or May)? If anyone from other places wants space to crash, I have a floor, and some (large) cushions, and a B&B opposite (apparently). The previously mentioned places sound cool to me. So, how about it Southampton people?

Seth

11:56 / 18.04.04

A Southampton meet would be a fine idea. However, I reckon we could do with a new thread to put the details in, just so people don't have to wade through several miles of last years posts.

Race you! If you don't start one by tomorrow, I will...

Squirmelia

21:30 / 18.04.04

I thought we already nominated you to start a thread?

Seth

23:22 / 19.04.04

Yup! But I posted that before we chatted about it last night.
