the expense isn't the problem. the fact that half the network seems to be shut making for a nightmare journey is.

It's normally just stations, there's always a way round them.

Uh... are we gonna play Guitar Hero at the meet-up?
If so, I REALLY need to pratice more. The only songs I can complete on Hard so far are Foo Fighters songs...

Coaches pown trains, even if they are both from national express - so much cheaper. I will be up at the eye considerably early, who else will be?

That's a tube station isn't it? Right near London Museum?
I think I have my route planned.

Kings cross 1 tube stop to Euston. Then 6 stops down to Waterloo.
If you're on Russel square to start you want 2 stops to leicster square then change and 3 stops down to waterloo.

Leicster square is where both those lines meet which would make an incredibely complex and awkward meet point.

Should be funny if god forbid that happend.

well i know we'll have atleast 10 based on who all's staying with me but im thinking about 12-15 or so realistically... i will need to get a more accurate count for thursdays thing cause ill have to get a reservation in for it considering itll be more than 8 people.

No set plans yet on friday.. from what i've been told Camden is hit or miss ... we'd have to figure out whats going on on that date. we'll do something im just not sure what.. the thurs. thing is a sure bet so far.

Since google doesn't seem to have an answer to my question, what is Camden (besides being a borough of London and all...) and what would we be doing there?

It's got a banging Market, which has lots of sort of indie/alt stalls. It's also a great place to get bootleg/rare CD's. It's also got a Barfly, The Underworld and The Electric Ballroom. If you like the rock & alt scene, Camden is the place to go.

you can stop by.. the stickam will be running the whole time... i was mainly getting at the fact that i didnt want people thinking they could stay at the flat.. i havent really got an idea of how much bigger or smaller this is than the flats i had in mayfair last time... i dont feel like cramming into a shoebox like sardines..

Haha that's just to Classy eh? :P
Yeah I'd like to be about for more then the one day of the NG meet so not just Saturday, It would make it awkward though being under 18 and not being able to get into pubs n stuff, shame :(

Has any of saturday's schedule been set in stone yet other than the meeting time/place? ie where going/when/ehat doing there etc.? :) It would be a good idea to have at least a loose schedule laid down so we don't all show up, introduce ourselves then go "now what?"

Schedule is meet at 1pm if you are running late or there is nobody there when you arrive, then we are at Namco which is up the street. Go in.. walk down the stairs, look around. Its not a very large place so you should be able to find SOMEONE. If not then its cool to have someones cell phone available.... we should be over there for a good 3-4 hrs.. if you've not arrived by then, then you probably deserve to be out of the loop :P

the end

Nah, that's all cool. Was just wondering if anyone had gone past that point as to what to do after :) I'll be ready and waiting at the eye for 1pm, so its not that I'm planning on dropping in late or anything..

Beyond that is whatever the general consensus is... its never the same so you just gotta approach with an open mind i guess.
