What is wrong with Yeovil?

Don't you diss Somerset...

I'm not dissing Somerset.

Just Yeovil. Yeovil's horrible.

Checking thread, finally.

Since most peeps will be at work until gone 5pm, at least, can I suggest that we don't start major picnicking until then? That way, if you're delayed, MC, it won't affect you too badly, either...

But we can get together earlier in the day, if you want -- call/text me when you get into town. I'll probably be in Kensington mid-afternoon, anyway, and will probably wander along to the Serpentine Gallery around 4ish... The current Rirkrit Tiravanija exhibition sounds intriguing: "His first solo exhibition in London will feature a broadcasting studio within the Gallery from which a serialised radio programme will be transmitted daily on Resonance 104.4FM, with members of the public cast as characters. It will air live from Monday to Saturday at 4.30pm, with recorded omnibus presentations weekly on Sundays at 11am. Tiravanija will also create two full-scale, fully functioning replicas of his New York apartment, each furnished with a kitchen, bathroom, reception room and bedroom for visitors to use."

I am also up for the Frida Khalo, though I am absolutely dreading the horrible crowds, which is why I haven't gone yet. (The Hopper exhibition last year was an absolute nightmare, even though I got to the Tate Modern before it opened!)

Hampstead Heath is nice and local for me on Saturday, but I am open to going somewhere different. There's a fun sculpture at the bottom of Parliament Hill (some nice pictures here). I have seen teenagers climbing all over it, incredibly,

Go to the Frida exhibition mid-week and in the last two hours of opening time.

I was wondering if it might be less crowded last thing on Friday or Saturday night...

Given that I will be getting up at arggh o'clock in the am, I doubt I'm going to want move around much for the first couple of hours anyway. I may lurch, shamble, and attempt to eat brains until around four pm, after which taking in the Serpentine gallery sounds a most restful way to pass the time until my work-weary chums stagger from the office.

Can I just butt in here and suggest a Barbelith meeting at a Stella Maris gig in Marble Arch on Saturday night? It's at a squat which used to be a Masonic Temple so it seems natural really. I'm going to find the details and post it properly now. Or in a minute...

I just want to give props to the Serpentine Gallery website people for how awful this map looks.

Slightly more useful Streetmap.

Central Line is unaffected by the bombs unpleasantness, so I may well wander along.

If it was a weekend, I'd understand this plan. But is there really enough sunlight for a post-6pm picnic?

Hey don't try and plan it, when it gets dark we'll all end up walking to the pub anyway. Just let them continue their merry game (p.s. have to leave in time for the L-Word at 11pm).

Well that was fun!

I want to got to Hamstead Heath tomorrow. I want to look at Rembrants and then listen to people sexing on the big giant table. Good idea? Bad idea? Do this another day?

What would you guys like to do tomorrow?

Oh yeah and pub could happen after, were it a very cheap filthpub. Are there still places that'll do you a pint of the house bitter for 1.50?

Will do.

BTW, people who haven't seen me for a bit should probably be advised that I've got hair now. Much hair. This created some confusion yesterday.
