A Friday meet 13/6/03

00:19 / 06.06.03

Can anyone organise a meet on a Friday night?
I'd like to meet all you strange people but can only do it on a Friday, so how about 8 o'clock in Bradleys (the spanish bar) on Hanway street, just off Oxford St./Tottenham Court Road.

Is that the little bar with the vinyl jukebox? I might pop along for a few it's been a wild week and there's no point stopping now

Our Lady of The Two Towers

08:20 / 06.06.03

Thats the one Bear, just around the corner from the Virgin megastore.

09:38 / 06.06.03

I may be able to make it, no promises though.

Sorry, I'm working. I can only do alternate Fridays, see. Have fun and play nice though kids, and if anyone fancies beer next Friday I'll be around.

Bear

11:49 / 06.06.03

Looks like it might be only me and you Panarchy and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, so unless other people decide that they need some Friday drinking think it would be best to call it off, don't you think?

You not what the really reason is don't you, Big Brother eviction night

I might be up for, but it is all looking a bit Schrodingers pub....

Bear

12:25 / 06.06.03

The jukebox is really good!

I think I'm going to turn up anyway and see if anyone turns up, I'm in change my mind mode today so I'll probably decide to go home and then decide to go drinking a few more times, will there be a bear in the pub I guess it is a bit Schrodinger...

13:04 / 06.06.03

i intend to try, but given that i gotta be in saaarf lahndahn quite early on tonight, i don't think there's much chance of me fitting this in.

13:29 / 06.06.03

Maybe we should rearrange this for next week, what do people think?

14:03 / 06.06.03

Surely you're all just a little too fashionably late.

Like a month. Slackers.

Bear

14:07 / 06.06.03

Yeah I think a delay is the best bet, I'm off home to drink lots of wine.

And hide from pysik bats that fly around my room.

Have fun whatever you do Panarchy!

14:47 / 06.06.03

Thanks Bear, I’ll try. Good luck with your bat evasion.

10:47 / 09.06.03

Is this actually happening? If it is, I might be able to make it.

waxy dan

11:12 / 09.06.03

That sounds good. Next week or this?

How will we recognise one another?
Red carnation?

11:48 / 09.06.03

I have a fairly tight window, and am around for Friday the 13th only.

As for recognising people, Barbelith crowds are usually pretty obvious.

waxy dan

12:47 / 09.06.03

Hmmm. You might have a point there. I get the feeling I'm going to look decidely out of place in my normality.

Good for it. Is it on?

16:55 / 09.06.03

I think this is still on, if people still want to come. I am having doubts about the venue, as it is smaller than I remembered, so any other suggestions will be welcome.

Bear

07:38 / 10.06.03

I was thinking that myself, it really is tiny isn't it - there's always the Plough which is just around the corner a little?

angel

08:46 / 10.06.03

I may well be around for this. What is the Plough like on a Friday night?

It would be nice to see you guys as I haven't seen some of you for a while, and it would be delightful as always to meet up with the lovely Lurid!

Are you here for a conference hon?

10:26 / 10.06.03

hmmm, the Plough is not famed for space on weekday nights. That said, there is an upstairs which might be available. Whatever, wherever, I'll definately be along 'cos it's ages since i seen most of you krazy kids, especially that Lurid critter.

10:44 / 10.06.03

I'm stopping in London from Cork and on my way to Seville. You know, I hate travelling. Being in different places is great, but the travelling itself quickly becomes tedious.

Anyway, my short stay means I am torn about who to see but I always like Barbemeets. Have we settled on a location yet? Also, to preempt any disappointment, I should point out that the lovely Mordant isn't with me.

Ariadne

11:54 / 10.06.03

No Mordant? Not fair.

I'll try to be there, it'd be good to see everyone and especially you, Lurid. Loomis won't be there either as he doesn't move to London until the following week. Yep, I've persuaded him that London is the centre of the universe (or at least worth living in) and he's coming back. Hurray for that!

So where's this Plough place, then?

Bear

13:03 / 10.06.03

Its nae far fae T. Court road tube, you turn left out of one of the exits, cross the road towards the theatre and then walk passed Burtons keep going until you pass that comic shop and then keep going a little more and turn left, it's just passed Atlantis books. I'm well good at directions eh!

I can however use the net -

The Plough

If of course this is the decided venue...

13:27 / 10.06.03

i have a suspicion that, unless the upstairs is free, it could get crowded, especially if this turns into a biggie...

Bear

13:43 / 10.06.03

I don't know why everyone has a huge discussion you know it's going to end up being at the Princess Louis

15:00 / 10.06.03

Wise words, Bear, wise words. Is that the venue settled then?

16:18 / 10.06.03

I can prob'ly do Friday. SO which venue? I'm all confused now.

13:10 / 11.06.03

I'm going to definitely say that I'll probably make this. Shall we say the Princess Louise? At what time?

22:00 / 11.06.03

How about 7:30pm? I've never been to the Princess Louise, but i'm sure I can track it down. Do you congregete in a certain part of the pub?

Ariadne

05:42 / 12.06.03

The Princess Louis is at Holborn - come out of the tube station and walk past Sainsbury's. It's at 208 High Holborn. I suspect people will get there earlier than 7.30, too.

Ariadne

05:46 / 12.06.03

Sorry, Panarchy, I only answered half of your post - look down the back left-hand corner by the stairs - that's where we usually end up but it really depends how busy it is.

mondo a-go-go

08:34 / 12.06.03

If peeps are going to be there earlier than 7:30, I might pop in for a quick drink as the PL is really close to where I work. But I won't be able to stay for long, as I'd really like to scoot off before 8:00pm...

ONLY NICE THINGS

09:02 / 12.06.03

I think I'm meant to be wandering around a bus going "BRAINS" or similar for a Dave McKean film, but might try to get back in time for this ; if not, could somebody huggle Lurid until he goes putple from me?
