*F* London meet 17/8
Karen Hanna Kruzycka
Hiya afp,
I've been away for a while, partly due to holidays and partly to the
unexpected demise of my modem. I was without access for two and a half
weeks, and really missed you lot *sniff*.
But now I'm back, and trying to organise a meet to celebrate my
birthday. It will definitely be on the 17th of August (the meet, that
is, not my birthday). My birthday actually falls on the Glorious
Twelfth - which seems like a more appropriate date for Alex TEH, for
some reason >:)
Anyhow, the plan is shaping up to be something like this:
Afternoon - go and see Independence Day somewhere in the West End
Late Afternoon/Early Evening - get a meal at Pizza Hut or whatever
Evening - get drunk and be silly
But I need some help with this, as I don't know the West End very well
at all, at all. I'd like to find a nice pub, where we're likely to get
a table or two on a Saturday night, and where the music isn't so loud
that conversation is impossible. Somewhere in the Leicester Square area
would be favourite. Any ideas? We should then be able to find a nearby
eaterie in which to start off the evening.
Your advice would be much welcomed, and your presence even more so :-)
If we manage to arrange this, I'll put an .announce up asap.
Bye for now,
--

Huh - alright for some people. All my family buggered off on holiday
for three weeks and left me here. Okay - admitidly I asked to stay -
but is that any reason to leave me here all on my own!

What time were you thinking of getting back - I'm useless at getting
home from places like that. Let's face it, I had enough trouble
getting home from Chelmsford to Maldon.

Westminster. Because it's fun. They show music videos, which people sing
along to, and I can get you a table no problem. (If I get there at
opening time, maybe two) There aren't THAT many trekkers any more, but
it is very popular, and gets crowded. They sell 3 different types of
Hooch, and an absolutely lethal Romulan Ale.
The music they play is great for singing and dancing to especially when
pissed. There are busses that stop outside, or you can get the tube and
walk a bit.

a trek pub, a 'goth restaurant' where they have coffins for tables, or
whatever.

Sod that, do they sell caffreys (or kilkenny at a push...)

Half the fun in getting pissed is trying to walk somewhere afterwards.
Erm, what KIND of music? If it involves anything along the lines of
Saturday Night or that cack thing in the charts atm with the two old
spanish fellas....well, count me out. ;)
Apart from that, I'm up for a pissup, especially if there's food and ID4
involved in the bargain.
And it's time for a new name....

but if you're pissed enough, you'll end up doing YMCA and the Time Warp,
believe me. But there are large quanitities of Queen and stuff for the
music videos. Then again las week, they hardly showed any.

Okay, this is the plan for Saturday, which will be put on an .announce
as sson as possible.
For those of you who would like to see Independence Day with us (1) in
the afternoon, we'll be meeting outside the Odeon Leicester Square at
1:30 (the showing begins at 2 o'clock). I have been warned that we will
definitely need to book seats, as this will be a very busy showing, so
anyone who wants to come along will need to mail me before 19:00 on
Wednesday which is when I will be reserving the seats.
From the cinema, we will probably head in the direction of Chinatown and
grab something to eat. This will be an interesting challenge, as I'm
not going to book a table ('Saturday night? Ten people? And you want a
table _now_? Hat! Hat! Hat!').
We will then meet anybody who just wants to turn up for the evening in
the Virtual Worlds Bar at the Trocadero, at 7:30-ish. Then, if I have
my way, we will go and find a pub which does quaint things like draught
beer. And I will get drunk, and Adrian will look young, and Colette
will be worshipped, and Emmet will flirt. Just another afpmeet, really
:-)
Hope to see you there,
VV

Oh....chinese....I thought it was gonna be pizza? :(
If you're thinking of a chinese, Owng Keis is supposed to be pretty
good, cheap, and have waiters who are right miserable bar-stewards.
Is all academic really, since I don't even like the food.

Hopefully moving on VERY fast. The bar at VGL is hideously expensive,
and serves nothing but bottled ice cider and beer.

Thankfully Manny is only allowed to play this on Party Nights. Otherwise
we Lynch him. Party Nights, we dance. Sadly enough. Then again, on Party
Nights, it's the proper disco bloke, humoring Manny to get him to shut
up.

Fitzroy Tavern (Just off Tottenham Court Road) is quite nice, but gets
crowded (during the week, I have no idea about weekends) and it's not
far from Cheungs. The bit by the dartboard (Anoraks Corner) is a good
place for a group to lurk. There are at least two other pubs in the same
road. (Windmill Street) If your plans change, let me know, but I'm not
coming just to see ID4 again.

WellHolyGod. I'll be in London this weekend, and to say that I will
be spending a FHTAGNLOAD of time in the Troc, stomping 'Mechs into
burnbing heaps of slag is a gross understatement. If anyone is in
the Troc on either Saturday morning or possibly Sunday afternoon,
page UltraViolet and say hi.
Three of us will probably be in the throes of a
uk.media.tv.sf.babylon5.social meet at the time,
so is there any way that you could tell us where you're
going? I'll have my GSM mobile with me, but that means that
someone is going to have to ring me in Ireland, and
I want to avoid that if I can.
Oh, and I'll have truffles with me. LOTS of them.
Cointreau, Slivovica, Green Chartreuse and Rum,
if I can manage it.
