Hello from the dead, as per the usual!

I will be in London through most of June. Any of you UK types want to meet up? Give me a heads-up here or via Facebook. I know I'm gonna run into Paul there, anyway...

Hello also from the dead

YES OMG that would be awesome. I finish my exams in May but still have some exam leave in the first 10 days of June, so I can meet you any time then

Awesome. I arrive June 3. June 8-10, I will be in Paris, but let me check the weekday schedule and see when, if we all want to meet up at one set time? I'll be staying in Bayswater, Westminster. I'm TAing a study abroad trip there for the undergrads.

Aw, bummer! I'm going to be in London this summer, but starting in July.

So I suppose you'd still be around, Millie, but no Kate.

Firing up my time travel machine. You don't happen to be studying with a Daniel Faraday, are you?

It'd be cool to meet you guys. I still need to check up whether I have somewhere to crash or not. I only just realised recently I'm busy in first week of June with family stuff but will get back to you about it. Sure we can sort something out

Make sure to take some pics and post them here!

I'd be willing to put folks up for a night at the hotel I'll be at if necessary (sharing rooms if possible due to $$$), provided it doesn't break the bank to do so, since it'd be worth it to get folks all together at once.

Addendum: Started a FB group for this; it's private, and won't reveal your info. This way it'll be easier to coordinate, I think.

Any of the folks in the group can add someone if you want to come along -- give someone you know on there a heads-up.

Okay so I can probably do between 6th and 10th June if that suits everyone else. I'm just hoping I can crash at my sisters but she's not back yet. Otherwise I can come down on the day.

Millie, can you do the sixth or seventh? And Amy, not sure if you wanted in or not... I'm not sure what's around that part of Bayswater, but there are bound to be coffee shops and the like, at least to initially meet up at. And I can always take the Tube elsewhere, within reason.

I'm working on the sixth, but I can do the seventh

where in London will you actually be? It's a big city

thefilmchick · Expert Vidder Joined: 22 May 2006 Posts: 4030

Seventh works for me if it works for Paul! And I know; I've been there before.

See FB group for actual hotel location -- I'll post my prepaid cell # up too once I get it when over there.

Hmm, the train would be about £53 altogether, which is stretching it a bit as its probably about half my monthly wage. Is there any chance you could maybe come up to Birmingham for the day? That's probably be easier for Paul too - and Amy if she's coming - as we all live around there

There is a chance, but I'm not sure dates-wise. But if I'm coming up to where you guys are, I guess dates aren't as crucial?

Virgin Trains seems to head to Birmingham out of Euston station -- the cheapest I can figure that isn't a ridiculously short amount of time is heading up noontime midweek (Wed-Thurs) and back the same day.
