Here's the deal. Our fine and happy crew this evening decided that we should enjoy the London sunshine while it lasts. So, come one, come all to chez Optamystic.

We'll be cooking up various beasts on our new BBQ, so bring the side dish of your choice and the beverage that makes you happiest. Don't be shy about bringing friends and/or lovers.

The date is Saturday, 9 June, from 1 until whenever. RSVP in this thread. The address:

229 Lymington Ave
London N22 6JL

An invitation to chez Optamystic sounds too good to resist (especially when kittens are involved). I will plan to be there.

I shall bring the Quorn. Not sure if they do kitten flavour, but I'll check.

Just bring regular Quorn. As much as these little monsters shed, all of our food seems to be kitten flavoured anyway.

I'll hopefully be able to make it.

I believe the policy is that when the presence kittens is mentioned, photos are required as evidence.

I hope to be in London that day and I hope to attend as well, but my schedule is a bit packed and I might not be able to.

Damn. Once again, I'm somewhere else. Bugger.

Sadly, I will be in Bournemouth for the weekend. I have no idea why.

However, there may be yet another London MeFi meet on the evening of Monday 11 June. I'm just waiting for confirmation before posting here on MeTa.

We were sober enough to decide something? Bloody hell, I don't remember that.

Count me in.

Unfortunately, my fiancee stupidly decided to be born thirty years ago on that day, so due to this frankly idiotic oversight, I will be unable to attend.

I'll be in Boston, doing this. Then I'll be in Bulgaria. Then I'll be in Newcastle.

Anyone for a Newcastle meetup?

Sorry I'll miss it but I have visitors down for the weekend, it all starts now and I barely have a weekend free till September. Have a ball everyone!

Excellent meetup, Optamystic and everyone else (including the adorable kittens). I had a great time.

I need to recharge my camera, but I'll post pics soon.

Cillit bang, I'll e-mail you tomorrow.

Thanks so much to the Optamystics for a wonderful relaxed time. And some great steak. And jerky. And sausage. Mmmmm.

And thank you Optamystic.
