I am around all day on Friday until about 5pm. I live in the Camden area, so I can get to most of town within about half an hour. ---

I’m afraid Ana, Twisty and I won’t be in London on Friday - we’ll be in my neck of the woods. Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday though. ---

I think it will be easier to meet you all on Saturday, as per the original plan. 1pm at Waterloo. Looking forward to meeting you all. Gartog ---

Just thought I’d say over here that I’m going too (as well as the thread on the Unaboard). And kabees - I’ve met London Calling, and he had a thing about matron then, too… ;). ---

I just found out my flight is at 7.55 am. That means I have to get up _earlier_ on Saturday than I usually do during the week. This is not good news. However, looking forward to seeing y’all tomorrow! ---

With all this carrying on between **Twisty** and **Synnic** , maybe a boat ride isn’t such a good idea. Remember what happened last time there was a boat ride during a dopefest?😃 ---

I shall see you all at the pub at 7.30. I will most probably be wearing a LOUD burgundy, khaki, orange and lilac print dress, either on its own or over trousers, depending on the ambient temperature. ---

Ana, Twisty, Alex and I signing in here from Fran Towers. We have had a fantastically fun day doing all sorts of things. Chinese food featured. Unfortunately, due to Twisty’s foot attire and a certain pseudo-fashion nazi we were denied permission to enter one of Reading’s more salubrious establishments and thus denied the opportunity to see naked boobage. Now we are going to drink fine French wine, eat fine French food, and engage in a battle of wits via the medium of Trivial persuit, while trying to avoid the temptation of gawping at Big Brother 3. See you all tomorrow. ---

Fierra just called me from near the clock in Waterloo, and she didn’t see anyone there yet. You all be nice to Fierra. I’ve got enough FF miles to go on a free round-the-World ass-beating tour if I need to… . . . . . . . . (that’s a joke, not a threat, BTW) ---

So, is there like another thread or something that tells how exciting the Londope was? I mean, I realize you guys don’t have **Balance** to take notes for you like we have here in Texas, and you may lack [your own message board](http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-toparea-1.php?fid=616&taid=1) to discuss such things, but this sounds like it was to be a lot of fun… … and I want in! I need to know where the fun is so I can do something beside stare out the window at all the English things when I visit in July. ---
