ok just to summarise and conclude exact plans: the Crepery South Kensington at say 12:00?

I'm a pretty brunette, 5'8ish with most likely a dark purple jacket and bright green glasses. I don't imagine the place to be huge but how do I recognise y'all? :roll:

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon May 02, 2011 1:43 pm UTC

Giant xkcd banner?

Dress up in raptor suits?

No?

I'm 5'10", short spiky brown hair, & a goatee -- that usually makes me stick out a bit. I'll be wearing t-shirt & jeans probably (or shorts, depending on how the weather is) -- I'll try and decide on a specific shirt sometime this week to make recognition easier.

Here's a somewhat recent pic of my wife & I.

Well, I'm about 4"11, currently with shortish browny-red hair... I'll maybe bring along my bowler hat for easy identification from afar. Sadly I don't own a raptor mask.

If I don't see you I'll just punch any tallish guys I see. The one who explodes presents will be you.

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon May 02, 2011 2:08 pm UTC

I can stalk you on Facebook so I can more easily recognize you.

by **thicknavyrain** » Mon May 02, 2011 5:45 pm UTC

What day is this on out of curiosity? Would anyone object to a nerdy 18 year old attending?

Just wondering... :roll:

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon May 02, 2011 5:58 pm UTC

None from me, you seem a hoopy frood.

May 14th is the day, around noon, at the creperie that artemesia linked that I'm too lazy to find the link for.

Deal

looking forward to meeting you's guys!

by **TaintedDeity** » Tue May 03, 2011 8:26 am UTC

Did I mention May 14th is my birthday? It is. You should get cake. I won't be there, but you should.

by **pseudoidiot** » Tue May 03, 2011 1:15 pm UTC

We'll be having crepes. Is that close enough?

Also, I'm eating a cupcake at this very moment.

by **TaintedDeity** » Tue May 03, 2011 5:04 pm UTC

That'll do. I want crepe now.

For some reason I remember that I owe you one burger but I can't remember why.

by **TaintedDeity** » Tue May 03, 2011 6:05 pm UTC

Oh yeah! I think you bought somebody a burger and it wasn't me and so, through EXTREME LOGICS, you should buy me one too.

Heehee, cupcrepe.

This is non-related, but you just reminded me of the dream I had relating to this meet. I dreamed that we went to the crepe-place and they were serving the crepes in ice-cream cones and cups. Because that's how you eat crepes in my dreams.

by **pseudoidiot** » Wed May 04, 2011 11:58 am UTC

I'd be okay with that.

by **TaintedDeity** » Wed May 04, 2011 4:08 pm UTC

Fill the cup with a flavoured cream. Fucking yes.

by **thicknavyrain** » Fri May 06, 2011 9:48 pm UTC

Should be able to come

How pricey is the crepery, or rather, how much money would be worth bringing? If I do come, I'll be the brown guy with the brunette girl who is clearly too attractive for him (but obviously don't bring it up) (i.e. my SO).

Any plans for afterwards? I recommend the science museum too...

by **felltir** » Fri May 06, 2011 9:57 pm UTC

Can we have plannings for the expo meetup?

I'll probably be on spoingy legs at least one day.

Probably as Dr. McNinja the other.

Hooray! No solid plans post-food. That way we can just eat and chat and get to know each other and see what the group wants to do afterward, whether go check out somewhere like the science museum or just hang out in a park somewhere.

I think I may have saw you... I was hanging out with a dude dressed as Miles Edgeworth?

Just wanted to say that my wife & I had a great time with existential_elevator & Artemesia as well as a surprise appearance by Felstaff. It really was a wonderful way to end our week in London.

The 4 hour delay in Newark on the way back home, however, was not.

by **existential_elevator** » Mon May 16, 2011 1:56 pm UTC

Sorry I had to leave y'all fairly early (and if I was a bit distant - it's been a bit of a rough week and safe to say, sometimes I forget how to be sociable). I promise marginally embarrassing photos of the least interesting iteration of Dance Dance Revolution to follow...

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon May 16, 2011 3:36 pm UTC

I'm all a-tingle to see how ridiculous we looked.

by **existential_elevator** » Mon May 16, 2011 7:41 pm UTC

Voilà!

Spoiler:

Pseudo and Felstaff, learning about different kinds of fuel! It was interactive science fun!

I think Vera took some more photos than I did. I wanted to take some over lunch but I always feel a bit guilty whipping ye olde camera out.

by **pseudoidiot** » Mon May 16, 2011 7:44 pm UTC

Now that I think of it, a picture of me getting shocked by the 'Do Not Touch' exhibit would've been amusing.

by **existential_elevator** » Mon May 16, 2011 7:47 pm UTC

... yeah, I was thinking that too. We could have photoshopped the cartoony electricity lines in!

I'd like to point out that the electric pillar near that's artist has the same name as Coin.

by **TaintedDeity** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:00 pm UTC

More importanly, it looks like Felstaff is weeing into that exhibit.

by **pseudoidiot** » Tue May 17, 2011 1:04 am UTC

Renewable resource!

by **Felstaff** » Tue May 17, 2011 1:05 pm UTC

I'm a sore loser.

by **Artemisia** » Tue May 17, 2011 7:56 pm UTC

I had a great time!! Glad you enjoyed it too Pseudo. Your wife is lovely too. I hope you succeed in your plans to move at some point in the future. And don't hesitate to ask if I could help with anything.

I was really pleased that Arte-man joined us a while later too, he was thrilled to see the science museum. I was moreso paying attention to the company

I didn't actually take more pictures; however, I can prove that Felstaff wasn't peeing. That dance dance revolution thing looked like fun. who won in the end?

now that I think about it, I should have so taken pictures of that "do not touch" pole, and Felstaff and Pseudo getting shocked. Oh well missed chance.
don't feel bad e_e I am just as bad at pulling out zhe camera :roll:

by **pseudoidiot** » Tue May 17, 2011 8:05 pm UTC

I think Felstaff technically won, although I'm citing the left button on my side being broken as grounds for a rematch.

And, yes, the shocky thing was fun. I'm still convinced Felstaff is right in that there was just someone watching us over cctv and shocking us when it suited them since I couldn't get it to shock me every time I touched it.

by **Moo** » Tue May 24, 2011 11:54 am UTC

Although I can't go to this (sob), someone should!

That sounds awesome and I love their website. Someone should definitely go as an ambassador.
