I'll be in the neighborhood visiting a dear friend for the week from November 25th to December 2nd. If anyone's interested in meeting up in Oxford or Reading or someplace not too intimidating to get to in London, let's make some plants.

Saturday the 1st is out for meetups as it's dear friend's birthday.

I'll check my shifts for the period. There should be at least one evening in which we can get you the crew turn out you deserve.

How about a Plough meet for old time's sake? Or somewhere with a heated garden...

someplace not too intimidating to get to in London

Can you be a bit more specific in terms of what this means? Distance from point X or means of transport required, presumably?

I wouldn't be averse to taking the Oxford Tube (or that other one) on the Sunday either - thinking about it, you probably mean somewhere to get to from Oxford, in which case you want somewhere along either of the bus routes - Notting Hill, Marble Arch, Victoria, Baker Street, and surroundings (or if you're coming from Reading, near the relevant station, which I think is Paddington).

'tis Paddington. I'd favour the Plough (I fear change) but anywhere easy to get to in London suits me.

I would really like to come. I favour the Plough above other less familiar places. However, I am a slave to barbelith meet-ups and so will attend anywhere.
 
 
Seth
11:53 / 16.10.07
The Plough is pretty easy to find, too. All you need is a lil' diddy map when you het to Tottenham Court Road tube.

This is looking cool. I've not met Lula yet.

More like means of transport... I'm not familiar with how to get various places, so if I can do it without taking multiple forms of transit, it'll be better. I'm a real coward about trying to find my way in strange cities, and London is one of the strangest. I will most likely be coming from Reading.

Having relooked at my itinerary it looks like I fly out slightly early on the 2nd. Like pre-drinking early. Is there a weeknight in there that would work for folks? Or the Friday?

I am very excited to get a chance to meet some of you!

London's a total pussycat, Zippid. I found the transport system ridiculously easy to get my head around when I was there, though I mainly favoured shoeleather myself. If you've got Barbevenues of choice and all the lovely, accomodating southern lither's and their associated circles to look to for advice then you shouldn't have a problem.

I'd love to come back down south for a quick wee jaunt at some point soon, monies permitting...

Yes indeed I have not yet met Seth which is altogether too diasappointing and must be rectified. Also Nolte.

Please don't make it be a middle week weeknight because I have to come from Birmingham which is far and also I have college and am not likely to skive owing to being a swotty mature student.

I know you cannot do the Saturday Zippid, but what about Friday 30th?

Friday 30th would prolly work. Let me run it by my mate, see what time the next day she'll want to do the birthday thingums.
 
 
Mono

Ooooh. I think I'll actually be around that Friday. Fun!

Friday [the 30th] would be ace cuz that's when leetle Nolte a) gets paid and b) has the thirst, which sums up to c) needs a pub, and what better pub then a Pluff filled with visiting dignitaries?
 
 
Seth
11:30 / 19.10.07
I'll try to book Friday 30th November off work if that's the one we're going for.

15:02 / 19.10.07
Okay, Friday 30th is on! Bring it, lithers!

Hope to see you all there!

Bring it! Bring that! Ok. 30th is da dayt!


Swell.

I'm in! I have Friday 30th off.

Very much looking forward to this. The person who wins Barbelith is the person who spends most time with Id.

I will be there! I will consier it my debutante ball! Which will be a hideously inaccruate assesment of the situation, and an accurate and damning indicment of my current behaviour, RE: actually living in London, surrounded by people I wish I saw more!

Back to Zippid! Yay visiting Zippid!

30/11 is going on the calendar. Well, it's on there already, actually, so maybe I'll just put a little plough on there as well.
 
 
Quantum
10:55 / 22.10.07
Cool beans, I'll be there.
 
 
Olulabelle
09:13 / 24.10.07
Quantum! This is very exciting.

My calendar has also been updated.

Count me in!

I have a strange feeling that Nolte and I may get unimaginably drunk and sing Neutral Milk hotel songs until the wee hours of the morning...

Ohnoyoudon't! Just saying, you don't want to hear me "sing". Argh... that brought up the memories of missing the chance to see them live in Oslo, in the sweatiest, most smokefilled basement cavern venue you can imaginem barely holding 200 people all yelling TWO HEADED BOY at the top of their lungs. They say it was fantastic.. Fuck.

That said, I've had Time Delay on brain-repeat lately!
 
 
Mono
23:22 / 24.10.07
You flatter me...

Maybe we can serenade zippid with Neutral Morning Hotel Bride numbers. Don't worry, you won't have to sing. Air guitar will do in a pinch.

Cool! Quite fancy a huge Barbelith meet.
 
 
Olulabelle
21:11 / 31.10.07
And you! Rockin!
 
 
Seth
21:18 / 31.10.07
This is shaping up to be rather mammoth isn't it?

As in big, shaggy and extinct?
