Beware the ides of March - for there shall be a London dopefest!

It may just be in the stars that I make it… I have recently been told that I may be in London for the second week of March on business. I won’t know for sure for a few weeks yet.

Beerintheevening gives it a pretty dismal rating, but I’m happy to have my views challenged.

I’ve been there and it’s really a decent venue. Part of the low scorings might have been pre-refurb and the fact that it can get quite busy after work at times.

Illuminatiprimus already knows to have me down as a maybe. As usual…

This might be better administered as a Facebook group. Though then we’d have to know each other’s real names…

ETA: been to the Silver Cross before to meet SDMB/NADSers. It’s OK. Nothing terrible.

Does that mean I can’t come along because I don’t do Arsebook?

I don’t do Facebook either, so hopefully we don’t have to.

I don’t Facebook either, please don’t tell me I have to start Facebooking in order to meet y’all and put faces on the posts…
PS: I did google mankini. It’s a good thing I’ve been in the SDMB for a while, I don’t think my 5-years-ago-self would have been able to survive the sight without serious traumatisation.

Jesus Christ, get with the programme people. You’re already nerds, it’s not like it’s going to ruin your cred!

Well forgive me for not wanting to use a program that lets people send me toilet rolls and inform everyone in their network that they’re currently masturbating to the sound of the people next door having sex (or some other mundane shit).

:stuck_out_tongue:

Have you been looking at my profile again?!

I definitely can’t make the weekend of the 7th (a wedding), but probably can the following weekend.

Facebook hasn’t been needed to successfully organise such events in the past. A Dope thread, a NADS one, the exchange of a few phone numbers if people want to and a bit of bashful “Are you … ?” questioning in the pub have traditionally sufficed.

Not needed, sure, but a convenient tool. However, it was only a suggestion.

I might be able to make the 14th if I can afford it. I should certainly be in the country (for a change) and depending on how things go next week, it may be one of few chances I get to say bye to quite a few of you. If I do come down, I will, as promised in the NADS thread, bring cake, and hopefully rugelach, if I can bribe Eva Luna to make some. (And if I can’t make it, I can always post rugelach!)

I can’t make the 14th, because I’m running my school roleplaying club. :cool:

I’m not sure about the 7th, although it would certainly be interesting to meet you guys.

Well I registered with NADS…

Nope, too far - I don’t get down to London a great deal. You’re not missing much. :cool:

So you say, but I don’t believe it. You’ll be missed none the less. :slight_smile:

I’m tempted to fly over for this as I can’t seem to get Dublin heads together for a dopefest.
I can fly for €47 return that weekend. Hmmm.

Do IT, do IT, do IT! :smiley:
