I'm little, shaggy, and not extinct. Maybe I'm a marmot.

Marmot?

So, are we basically aiming for 'people rolling towards the Plough as they finish work', with those of us who aren't working aiming to get there for 5-ish to start claiming chairs and tables for everyone else?

I love it when a plan comes together.
 
 
Seth

Yes.

Yes, that is our aim.

Send the people with the crazy eyes in first to scare people away to make space for us all.

I have examined myself in the mirror and I appear to be able to do excellent crazy eyes.

Imma heterochromic will that do?

Sorry, should have started by saying I'm planning to come to this.

Hrrrrrmmmmm....

If I was to be able to make it down, would anyone be able to spare a couch for a night or two?
 
 
iamus
00:06 / 06.11.07
Because, frankly, this does sound to be shaping up into the best thing in the history of ever.
 
 
Quantum
08:04 / 06.11.07
My couch is in Brighton, unfortunately. I'm going to be taking the afternoon off so I can arrive for the earlyshift and sit around practising my crazy eyes and reading Jack Reacher, because I have to head off relatively early- anyone else on the early shift? Flowers? Olulabelle?

Hey, with a bit of luck I'll make it along to this one too...

...assuming there's still some standing room left after a regular Friday after-work crowd merges with an additional army of Barbelithers...

Quants: I'm probably going to finish around 3-ish and was planning to do something productive before heading down to the Plough, but might be persuaded to stake out some tables with you.

iamus: Let me check with my flatmates re: couch. We've moved into a much smaller place so it's a bit trickier.
 
 
Seth
15:49 / 06.11.07
I've managed to score the whole day without having to wear my pink lycra suit, snout, trotters and curly tail, so I'll be in town early. If anyone fancies putting me up overnight then send me a PM innit.
 
 
Katherine
06:43 / 07.11.07
Well I will be there from about 5.45 - 6pm so if I can spot you (being as this is my first time at one of these)I'll help hog seats too.

Don't worry archabyss, you won't be able to miss Seth, Quants and I:

If you have the golden flying bird ship then I probably won't be able to miss you!
 
 
Our Lady Has Left the Building
09:25 / 07.11.07
I'll probably be there several hours before everyone else, as is my wont.

This is probably a bad time to mention that I've got a wee little phobia of crowded spaces...

WHOO HAH! Panic attack or no panic attack it's going to be awesome to meet all of you!

My excitement in manifesting partly in the desire to buy ridiculous amounts of winter gear. Is it cold there, guys? Much rain yet?

Coldish, but depends on what your baseline is. The Beeb's weather site is allright, here. Rain, not so much for this time of year. Looks like we'll have some tomorrow tho. For fox'ache - I'm going to Cambridge tomorrow for the first time ever and it's gonna be pissing down with strong winds. Luvvly. At least I get to splurge out on an indecently expensive meal and have work pay.

Mixmage and I may be early shifting but first we are going to the Tate Modern to see Shibboleth with Tryphena. But that will not take all day.

However, there was also talk of cake. Which might.

Zippy, you'll be surprised at how a collection of Barbeloids can often generate space in a public hostelry.

Especially if some of us own highly experimental microwave devices for crowd control.

Oooh, look at it. Isn't it big.

Shame to miss this as it would appear to be the biggest gathering in yonks, but miss it I shall.

'Av a nice time, you lot.

Blast! Would've liked to get to meet you, VisBoss.

If I'm not working that day I'll try to do the early shift. On the matter of space, the Plough does boast an upstairs room, no?
 
 
illmatic
16:56 / 11.11.07
It does, but sometimes it's not open, or booked for parties.

The Plough wouldn't have been my first choice of venue for a Friday night, but still...

Looking forward to seeing you all.

07:29 / 12.11.07
Yea, not much to the Plough spacewise. I'll get there before 5ish with the early arivals and grab a few more seats.

Mutualtastic, but a combination of parenthood and prior commitments have conspired to keep me away.

I don't think I've ever been to a big barbemeet. At least not since Bengali in Platform's party all those years ago, and I wasn't much of 'lither then. My clone Pigs did all the heavy lifting in those days.

Where should we go then? I am sure no-one will mind if we move it.

Let's still stay central shall we? Else, I'm up for a move. As long as it's somewhere there's a reasonable chance of getting some nice seats (or any seats) and it's not a Weatherspoons on in Soho or summink along those lines.. Thinky thinkee...
 
 
Olulabelle
19:32 / 12.11.07
And not ear-bleedy loud music so all we can do is look at each other and nod. I don't mind looking at you all at all, but I wouldn't mind doing some conversation type things whilst gazing.
