I'll be there on the Sunday, because Saturday night is for super-drinking. And I will be dressed as MasterChief.

New hair! I no longer look like this -->
I'll probably have my hair like in the second or third photo, and may have a hat covering it (look out for the Australan bush-hat), but the dreads will be visible. Just look for the guy with undercuts and really long, thin dreads at the back at the MCM on Saturday.

Huh, no I didn't. We said we'd go to that theme park one day, and you said you'd give me a London tour. Any dates you want to settle on right now?

13th is my friend's birthday party, which she changed the date of so I could be there. What about the 15th? I have somewhere to be in the evening but we can do the tour in the morning.

I am meeting Felltir on Saturday the 13th and he's going to show me the Camden area. I'd be really happy to meet other people too. Would anyone like to join? We're probably talking morning here, but I'll be walking around the rest of the day as well.

EXPRESSING INTEREST. I have plans in the afternoon to go to central london for the fireworks display but the morning/early afternoon is good I think. I'll be finding out if I can come soon, I'm pretty much free from all university application bullshit now.

So I'm meeting Felltir at 9:00 on Saturday outside the Camden tube exit. I don't know which one, he said he'd find me... Hmmm... Anyway, if you're planning to arrive, tell us so we can wait for you.

Hmm... I'm on leave that week, but I have quite a few plans already. I think I'm free on the 22nd, and during the day on the 23rd. That's probably not convenient, I guess, but if it is I'm up for it :D

I'm pretty sure you were in on the Aug;09 one. Moo was pm'ing everyone because there was a creepyforaguy from London sending me messages at the time and I didn't want him showing up. So Moo just messaged everyone. There was some reason you couldn't come out on the saturday we had the meet...I forget why. In Nov '10 i wasn't in London long and the meetup everyone had I wasn't in town for (I was out caving in Mendip that weekend) so I didn't see peeps until Thoughtbubble, mostly.

I"m coming back this year though, probably September, so mark yer calendar!

For anyone interested, my wife & I will be travelling to London the first week of May (8th-15th to be exact). We don't have all of our activities finalized, but I do know we're going to take some guided day trips out to some of the usual touristy places -- Bath, Stonehenge, Canterbury, etc. We'll probably take two or 3 full day-trips out for something like that. The rest I imagine we'll spend in and around London.

Anyhow, point being if anyone around London would like to meet up for a bit (maybe just have a meal or show us around for a bit or just hang out for a bit) that would be fun.
