London farewell
posted August 22, 2013 1:24 PM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Wed September 18 at 6:30 PM, The Dover Castle
43 Weymouth Mews, London, Greater London W1G 7EQ, UK (Map & Directions)
After five years, I'm leaving London. It would be good to meet up with MeFites one last time before I go.
Updated: drinks now on the 18th September, hope that is still good with those who were coming, and that some others can make it.

Don't know my schedule yet, but I'll try to be available. Could pick a pub with 'arms' in its name so it would be a farewell to arms. Where are you off to?

Oh no! Can't make the 7th, I'm afraid, but will definitely do my best to come along to whatever else transpires. The week beginning the 16th's looking clear so far.

I'm free-ish either of those weeks, though will need to arrive lateish and leave early due to work.

Ersatz, I'm returning to New Zealand.

OK, I'm just going to suggest The Dover Castle in Marylebone, which I was introduced to at a meetup. I'll say Friday 13th - if that really doesn't work for people then maybe we can switch to Saturday the 14th instead.

Drinks after work and then the option of Middle Eastern food on Edgeware Road.

I will be down for drinks and possibly food too.

Oh man! I'd love to come but I'm away until the 15th. Bah.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it.

I'm not a London Mefite but I will be in London on the 13th, though I'll be at the London Dungeon until 6:30ish (Friday the 13th + London Dungeon, how could I resist?)
If you don't mind a strange stranger joining you, I'd love to come!

Damn. I can't make friday 13th, I have to go to Kew Gardens to see the Rocky Horror Show.

Of course, please do. It's posted publicly on IRL, so anyone's welcome :)

Sweet! I'll be the one with turquoise hair showing up late.

Sorry about this but I'm coming under some pressure from Ms Jest to change the date - how would the 17th or 18th work for people?
posted by Infinite Jest at 3:16 AM on September 11, 2013


I like the 18th. I like that very much.

Either's fine by me!

Even better, I shall be the one with turquoise hair not showing up late. :D

Excellent! Just to confirm for anyone who didn't see it, we'll be meeting Wednesday the 18th at 630 (ish - I finish work at 530 and will go straight there, so might be early). I will try to remember my MeFi sign but I suspect it is somewhere in a shipping crate heading to New Zealand.

The 18th, eh? I might be able to make that after all.
posted by atrazine at 7:30 AM on September 13, 2013


This date is unluckily worse for me but I can put in an appearance from 9.

Really sorry, I can't make it.
posted by essexjan at 4:00 PM on September 13, 2013


I'm travelling early the next day, unexpectedly, so I'm not sure I'll make it.

Sorry I couldn't make it Infinite Jest, but it was nice meeting (and pub quizzing) with you: have a safe trip and good times back home. We raise a pie to the sky in your honour.
posted by Chichibio at 12:06 AM on September 18, 2013


I should be there about 7ish.
posted by permafrost at 9:01 AM on September 18, 2013


Presuming people will still be there in 30 minutes I'm heading over. How do I find you all?
posted by Erberus at 12:39 PM on September 18, 2013


Still here! In a cubby hole in the back of the pub.
posted by HandfulOfDust at 12:51 PM on September 18, 2013


Sorry I couldn't make it, but hope the trip home works out... London is a poorer place without you!

Thanks for coming out everyone, good to see some of you again and meet some of you for the first time.

Sorry to have missed Jan, Chichibio, ersatz and Theophile. Hope our paths may cross again sometime; look me up if you're ever in NZ.
