So what’s the score, people?
Are we settling on the weekend of August 3?
Well, yup, sounds good to me!
I’m crap at organising things, so I’ll leave it up to someone else, unless of course everyone is happy with a plan along the lines of meet up - drink too much - go home. I can get that organised…
Well, since it’s “fly in - meet up - drink too much - find a place to crash” for some of us, I’d appreciate a little more detail. 
Aye, I’ll be around probably.
Feck it. stick me down. 
And tie him up.
Is that fat bearded git coming along too, Twisty?
My plans may have gotten screwed up. But dammit, if I have to miss the Dopefest by less than a week, I’m going to rip someone apart with my bare hands.
Just so you know.
LaurAnge, you must attend. There must be one token gawking North American at each EuroFest. It’s a rule.
Ask Coldy about rules. That’s his favorite topic today!

August 3rd is good for me. Does anyone have those London B&B links handy?
I’d love to come. Does it involve strange initiation ceremonies?
and also www.smoothhound.co.uk
Define “strange”. Oh, do you own any farm animals?
So, the weekend of the third of August, right?
And I can sleep on Francesca’s couch, right?
And it’s OK if I arrive Friday night, or would you prefer Saturday morning, Fran? And when do you want me to piss off? I was thinking Sunday late aft. or evening.
I checked with the folks and they said “Dutch? NO DRUGS!” and yea, I did laugh and reassure them. So all is well - you’re welcome to come over on Friday and leave on Sunday. And Tansu, you’re also welcome to kip at mine too if you like. You and Coldie will have to argue between yourself who gets the proper spare bed and who gets the fold-out bed.
So… may I request we pick a pub near Paddington station for the Saturday night drinking so that the group that stays at my house won’t have to leave at 10.30? Anyone know a good pub round there?
As for meeting-time for the bunch, I tentatively suggest: Saturday 3rd August, 3pm by the Paddington Bear stand at Paddington station? How does that sound?
And Sir Doris, only if you define hammering nails up your nose as “strange”.
I have already booked myself into the Pavilion Fashion Rock and Roll hotel. And with a name like that, how could I not?
So, as tempting as the prospect of mudwrestling a Dutch moderator for superior kip station my be (and it is damn tempting, I tell you), I am already fixed up.
Oh, you said “argue” not “mudwrestle”. My mistake.
Well, that means there’s room for one more if anyone else would like to stay at mine. It does mean an just over an hour’s journey to and from London (but it’s a nice easy journey). First offer goes to those who’ve travelled furthest: LaurAnge? Yojimbo?

Drugs! Surely you jest. The true Dutchman merely trades custom made clogs, and cheese [sub]filled to the brim with XTC, dammit[/sub].
Thanks Frannie, I’ll go look for airfares straightaway.
I thought you were only making plans for Nigel?
Thanks for the links, I’ll see what I can find.
I deal Cake. it stimulates you Shatner’s Bassoon, but may cause you to cough up your pelvis.
