If you're coming down, I'm definitely there. I'm a massive fan of yours.

Whoever's keeping tracks of the list of attending people can move me from possibly to DEFINITELY (all caps of course) there.

And, on the other hand, I don't want to cross the Atlantic only to end up talking about video games, so I'd go for the football game :P

Hah, Football or not, I'm coming to this. Does anyone have anywhere to stay in London? I could do with crashing at someone's for the night, especially if we've done a pub crawl. I'm lovely to be around.

Another suggestion for day time fun would be either Forbidden Planet (that shop is the fucking mad note) the London Trocadero (if it still exists! It was the shit when I was 10) or a trek through six stories of Hamley's toy shop, trying out all the RC cars and pissing off the people trying to demonstrate new toys.

The Trocadero is still there and still awesome. Hamleys is also awesome. Another thing to do that would be a laugh with a big group of us is the Science Museum (or am I getting too geeky now?) :P

Oh my god, I haven't been to the science museum since I was a kid!

Just imagine thirty of us swarming that grain machine!

Well, bring a spare t-shirt, silly!

Unless you dress only in NG t-shirts... Do you?

Is this more or less an excuse for any american users to come and drink if they're under 21 but over 18 or can we do shit for guys that aren't eighteen? because i basically live in london and wouldnt mind tagging along but I'm 15 so therefore can't drink in pubs etc.

During the day it's normally all ages friendly. We only go drinking in the evening.

Cool will definetely tag along then, hopefully I'll of made something credible by then.

There's a massive machine in the kid section of the Science Museum (which by the way, is like, the best museum in the world), and the machine has no purpose other than to move grain around itself.

OH WHAT THE FUCK THEY'VE CHANGED THE GRAIN PIT >:(

yeh they did that years ago...I remember taking my cousins and thinking 'YOU FUCKING RUINED IT YOU BASTARDS, DIE, DIE IN A HOLE!!!!'

but yeah...it sucks now.

Okay, as awkward as it's going to be i'm gonna be there.
Would it be al right if i bring along a couple of "non-NG" guys, they know what the whole newgrounds shin-dig is about but aren't members.
Hopefully a few 15 year old cockney fags will lighten the mood.

Also, the fire fox spell checker is really confusing me.

:3

Looks like I'll have to come.

Just remember though, if you guys come down with NG shirts plastered all over you, I won't say I know you, I'm well respected in London Town by the "cooler" crowd. Cool people and nerds don't mix.

Cheerio.

I'd discourage bringing non-ng people, you need to just relax, be adventurous, and realize that its going to be an akward first few mins for everyone. It fades fast and you eventually start to click. I mean i have to fly all the way across the ocean to meet you strangers... all you need to do is hope on the tube a couple stops. Anyway as I said youre welcome to leave at any point in time. So if you realize its just too weird or we're all assholes then you can be on your way. No worries.

If you really must bring someone, girlfriend/boyfriend/whatever, then limit it to one person.

Sounds fantastic.

Seriously though, I agree with Luis. Whilst I imagine the older and younger crowds will separate a little, I wouldn't suggest anyone bring their crew along, especially if said crew happen to know nothing about NG.

Sounds good then. One thing, around the London eye, its usually jam-packed with people, apart from the shirts, how is anyone turning up going to spot everyone?

Heh, "crew"
I mentioned it to the one person i know in "the real world" who is into Newgrounds, Companion Cube but i got the response "... we're 15" I'm sure i'll crack him though.

I'd discourage you guys not to wear shirts.

You don't want to end up getting lynched.

We may run the risk of appearing to be on day release, especially if we all hold hands when crossing the road, but i think wearing our colours might make it easier for everyone especially when meeting up.

An NG shirt could look good with some skinny jeans and aviators.

P.S. Burnzoid, love your latest post

Damn I wish I could go, seriously.

Dude, they're not going to lynch us, we could just mob them. Whoever 'they' are.

This has never been a problem. Trust me youll know. If you can recognize a newgrounds shirt then you are on the right track.

I think last time someone made a big sign with newgrounds stickers and angry faices... the park police thought we were some terrorist group cause of the tank logo and angry stickers :(

That's a big waste of money right there if you ask me.

Lmao must of been funny, fortunately the London police's idea of terrorist combat is a few harsh words of warning rather then russias alternate which is AK the fuckers.

How many people have confirmed they're going? I'm going and my friend Exofest is going to.
