How about the Vibe Bar, on the Truman Brewery off Brick Lane (10 mins walk from Liverpool St), Friday 1st October around end-of-work time?

It's a great bar, big--with couches to relax in, and a courtyard if the weather's good.

Cool, I could probably do that.

I feel old...I remember when the place opened...

But it's a possible.

amber: The weather ain't going to be good in October. It's winter aleady...

Let's do it in September then! I say the weekend of the 24th-26th. When I'm already gonna be in London.

But really, I'm just 2hrs and £19 return away from the cap, so whenever is fine.

Not that anyone cares. I'm not much of a poster anyway.

I'd love to attend this one. What's the machine do? Is it one of those "Insert a shilling and let me be your wife" machines? Don't mistake it for a glory-hole, fellas. It'll sew a button onto the end of your prick.

I could possibly do the 25th September... 24th I may be away (not sure yet)... 26th no.... I still favour 1st October - late September is just as chilly ;).

Great - a London meetup just as I move to Bristol!

Well that's just great. You southerners go and have a meet up in London on the weekend I'm going to be in Oxford.

Can we have some consistency from you guys?

Just kidding. I'll try for the next next one. Have fun all!

hey! What is this? London MeFites all making an unplanned, uncoordinated mass exodus at the same time? Hmph. Well, if anyone ever comes to Thessaloniki, I promise I will be here. And so will I.

Hell yeah, London meet-up.

(Although I only really read Ask MeFi these days. Does that mean I have to sit at a different table?)
posted by chrismear at 8:18 AM on September 18, 2004

Do we have a decided date? Sounds like fun...
posted by dmt at 9:11 AM on September 18, 2004

I say Friday 1st October. ;) It seems to be as good as any other date. At least, I will be in the Vibe Bar that evening so please come along too. For identification purposes, I'll carry a copy of the paperback book 'Eccentrics' by David Weeks & Jamie James.

dash_slot et al - I'm sure there will be other opportunities.

louigi :- that sounds ok by me. OK, how about October 2nd? Any objections?
posted by plep at 1:22 AM on September 19, 2004

I'll settle for a shout-out, a rain-check & a 'y'all come back now, y'hear ' [that's how ya speak in the South, right?]
