I shall appear either early or late, depending on what has happened earlier.
I'll be ragged, sleep-deprived, if I've managed to hook up with a friend of mine I may be more than a little sauced, I won't recognise a damn person and then I'll probably ask someone entirely inappropriate, and possibly hair-trigger violent, if they're a friend of Mathew Haughey within earshot of the gang.

It'll be great! Come see the circus!

Also, DaShiv, if you're in the vicinity before the big wedding this weekend, we'd love a snapshot or two.

Just noticed that if you check my location on google maps, it appears I have to negotiate a flock of monstrous sheep in order to get to London.

I'm not sure if that will delay the coach journey.

I hereby officially send my apologies: I'm in Cardiff. Next time!

Apologies from me, too. My virus-infested kids have given me some hideous lurgy, and I'm not going to be able to make it in (and would just sneeze on you if I did).

Next time. Sorry.

I'm planning a trip for spring break, though. And growing my moustache again. Have fun!

I would love to come, but I'm in bed with a killer cold at the moment. Pshaw. Next time!

Just bring plenty of carrots. Also, you're coming from Exeter? Top marks for effort.

Ill try and grab a table upstairs and put out a little "Mefi!" sign, or I might just wait by the door and wink at everyone wearing a messenger bag (international geekboy sign #12).

ludwig_van: The bar I was at last night contained two "trendy" bartenders with 'taches, they enquired as to my thoughts about them and I commented that I had a friend with a far more magnificent one. Now what do I say, huh? Get it back, man, hurry!

Ah, Sam Smith's, brewers of the sadly now departed Ayingerbrau. That pub reminds me of my student days (UCL, just around the corner)...

Somebody have a Hefe Weiss for me (re-branded too, I think, but it's Sam Smith's wheat beer). IIRC it used to come in an amazing twisted/fluted glass. I wonder if it still does?

Anyone care to enlighten me?

I'll be with my trusty '@media 2006' bag, so if you see someone wandering about looking a bit lost, that'll be me.

Ayingerbrau is now called Alpine Lager, but is still the same stuff, isn't it? Of course, true afficionados will always refer to is simply as "Man-In-The-Box"...

Arse, only just saw this and me and my good lady off to the theatre. I'd be too shy anyway... Have many bid drinks.

By: klaatu

klaatu — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 05:42:56 -0800

Big drinks even. Especially Man-In-The-Box.

Damn. Didn't notice this. Too far for me to roll on short notice otherwise I would be there. Have fun.

Look, it's "ask Me", not "ask meh". You're wrong :) I'll try and post my photos tonight, if not it'll be tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday.

T'was a top evening, thanks a lot to everyone who turned up and thanks to hugsnkisses for organising it.

And so I find myself in a random hotel in London, alone, yet again. Good meet-up, MeeFie London folk (h&k, I'm looking at you).

I got home safely, much to my surprise.

(PS I may be dead by morning. Pray for me and fuck the Hammond git)

Slight hangover compounded by the fact that a burst pipe in North London means no water. Great to meet you all (eventually). We should do this again soon.....and I'll even make sure I start in the right pub.

By: chrismear

chrismear — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 03:45:47 -0800

I made a group and posted pictures. Get excited, people! Post yours!

P.S. You all need to add tags and notes to my pictures, because I've forgotten all your names.
