Pre-Christmas fannish meet-up in London?

[kat_lair]

***

pushkin666 and I were wondering if there are people around who would be interested in meeting up for pre-Christmas fannish chats/drinks in London?

Very casual, with opportunity for fannish socialising and hitting London for Christmas shopping before/after if you so want.

Please go comment here if you're interested and let us know which date (Sat 30/11 or 14/12) you would prefer.

I would! But not on those dates. :(

Boo, and those are the only dates we can do... There should be some visitation plotting for the new year, y/y?

... but I am not of this fandom what if I still want to say hi?

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I would say 'writing' qualifies as a fandom ;) But in general fandom is optional. You would be more than welcome to come say hello, although I'm not so sure whether this thing is happening or not as not many people about...

Regardless, you and I should do that drinks/chat thing in London at some point. New year if this comes to nothing...?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

YES. A thousand times yes. :)

Yay! January/February could definitely do with some cheering up so maybe then?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I approve - I have nothing planned for then and need something to look forwards to :)

Sat 4th and 18th of Jan, and Sat 15th of Feb are the only ones currently that I can't do - otherwise diary is clear on the weekends if you would like to make an appointment :D

Is there a Saturday between the 4th and the 18th? I cannot maths.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Yes, Jan 11th. Barring blizzards and other acts of chaos, hot drinks and something (idk, museum, book shops, pubs?) then?

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

YEssssss. I will show you the Green Carnation bar if you haven't already been by then :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

You could pick almost any bar or other place in London and it's 99.99 probability that I haven't been there yet :D

IT HAS OSCAR WILDE QUOTES ON THE WALLS AND THE WALLPAPER IS FUZZY AND IT'S HAPPY HOUR BETWEEN FIVE AND SEVEN ON SATURDAYS

... shh ... I'm... not working in their marketing department and I feel I ought to.

Well I'm sold!

Last year I used the 'be yourself, everyone else is already taken' quote on a lecture and not a single student recognised it.
