Damn - you'll have to count me out . It's babybear's birthday that weekend. Sorry, folks, but I shall be there in spirit.
I'm back in. Babybear has moved her birthday celebration to Friday night, (girlie sleepover, giggling, Blockbusters rental, popcorn etc) so Saturday is now free.
I shall be arriving via Liverpool Street. If anyone else is going that way, let me know, and we shall see if we can meet up earlier.
Great stuff- this is looking like a really excellent meet-up. In fact, if I'm not mistakeded, this is going to be the world's largest ever fwfr confourence! (And we can't even put this down to the offer of free books as most attendees already have them)
It has been a while since I have been on this Fourum, but it is good to be back. I got a message from Mr Coolbear about the launch of FWFR the Book and subsequently the FWFR meetup. I should be able to make it, since I will be in London that day. However I wont be able to meet up at the designated time that was suggested, since I will be busy up til 17:00. So I will be seeing you guys hopefully at 17:30 or 18:00, if tubes dont play silly buggers. Hopefully you guys will still be around at that time.
Thanks Chris for the link to this thread. I'm coming too, I want my book signed! It will be nice to see Koli and Benj again, and put faces to the names of other fwfr-ers Best wishes to all, Stevie (E.L.F)
Okay folks... gearing up for Saturday now. Gonna' be a biggie by the looks of it.
Just a couple of things...
I know quite a few of you have been good little consumers and bought a copy of the book already but for anyone going who hasn't, PM me and I'll bring you one along.
And for anyone who might have difficulty getting there in time or just wants to keep in touch on the day, feel free to PM me your mobile and I'll send mine back.
With all that said... see all you guys Saturday, NFT bar (outside if it's nice, inside if not), 13:00 onwards
I should reach London Bridge station (Tube) by 11.00am and will be heading for Borough Market for coffee followed by salivating over pies, olives, fresh veg etc. (You never know; it could be more interesting than it sounds.)
If anyone else is at a loose end and fancies joining me, PM me for my mobile number or to suggest a rendezvous.
It's then a pleasant walk along the south bank to the NFI, via Clink, the Financial Times building etc etc.
See you on Saturday.
PS - If you haven't met me before, I'll be the handsome brute in the FWFR Birmingham Confourance T-shirt. If you have met me before, I'll be in the T-shirt (if it still fits).
