See you there, unless I get waylaid by a giant moose.

Econous said on that last thread he would be "dressed, there and soberish"

Is that a challenge?

Do I have to come "undressed, away with the birds and pissed as a newt?"

I suppose it might help. Hmm

I seem to have collected 6 non-MeFites for this. Boy are they in for some fun :-)

It's far more fun to collect strangers from the pub during the meet-up.

We will, as usual, all be coming undressed.

I'll be naked under my clothes.

I'm having some leaving drinks on Fleet Street but hope to make it along after them. Do you reckon you'll stay upstairs at the Cheese?

I imagine we'll do everything we can to cling on to that table.

I'll be wearing my naked over my clothes.

See you all there at 8ish. Good work on sorting a table.

We've nearly managed that on the last two occasions: last time was the small group who kept asking about the signage and the time before that was that guy who walked in looking for, er, I can't remember now, but we almost had him.

I'll be wearing clothes smeared across my nakedness, knees locked and shivering in shame. Possibly with a bag. Every time the door opens, I shall suddenly relent on the table to bark 'Metafilter?' Before quickly resuming my mandibular grip, and staring at the freaky locals in a bluff designed to keep them away. It's our table, and your not having it, my lashes will scream. I may also be wearing a hat. So yes, I'll be dressed there and soberish. Though perhaps at another table.

Well, I'm not inviting you home.
posted by chrismear at 4:32 PM on January 11, 2007

See you there. I'll try to arrive between 6 and 6:30.

I totally forgot to print a sign out at work yesterday, and I'm only there two days a week now. The other day is not Friday. Anyone who gets this message, and will be arriving in good time, and has sign-manufacturing-plant-access, the Illy document and EPS are there and there.

I've still got the one from last time; I could bring that. Sorry again for making off with it -- I was pissed at the time. There are some bite marks in it, but it still works.
posted by chrismear at 5:29 PM on January 11, 2007

chris, I'd been wondering how it got teeth marks...

until I cam accross the photos a few days later.

Seemed like a good idea at the time (perhaps, can't really remember).

Have fun all of you - I'll be downing a Tusker in your honour.

I'll be attempting to provide signage from a-a's EPS.
posted by i_cola at 12:11 AM on January 12, 2007

I've printed a couple of copies of the EPS but won't be getting there until about 6.45 or so.
posted by TheDonF at 1:38 AM on January 12, 2007

I've also printed off a few blank Metagram shoutout deeleys.
posted by TheDonF at 1:41 AM on January 12, 2007

Sounds like this one's going to be a doozy.
posted by louigi at 1:56 AM on January 12, 2007

Wow. Abundance of signage!
posted by armoured-ant at 5:23 AM on January 12, 2007

So this time, try not to all sit at a table that is only visible upon leaving the venue... That way maybe others can avoid the whole solo-drinking-billy-no-mates experience I had last time before I finally saw you all.

IMPORTANT(ISH): New thread here.

12 off A4
10 off A3

but updated the layout.

It was the only free table! *cries*
