ETA: Sorry maven I posted that without having seen your post, and so hadn't thought of a particular pub. Well... we could at least start at the John Snow, and then if it starts to get packed etc. look for somewhere else? I'm trying to think of somewhere we could sit outside for the early part of the evening, if it's nice...

Mmmmm....Ayingerbrau. I know there's a good place near there with outdoor seating...let me put my drinkin'/thinkin' cap on.

You do realize it snowed 2 weeks ago?

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

yup, and it was a lovely day today, and the day before, bright and warm. As you know, british weather never stays the same for long!

It'd be nice to be able to sit outside for a while, but I'm not going to count on it!

Ditto! Even 10 minutes would be very heaven.

Okay, right, I am going to stop prevaricating and messing about here because there is some drinkin' to be done. And that is not to be trifled with. So, without further ado:

Saturday 5 April UK VJ London Meet-Up

Meet 4.30 at the John Snow, 39 Broadwick St, London, W1F 9QP. I'm the very, very short (4'11") woman with waist-length dark brown hair, and I'll probably be reading either the Economist or Heat or fiddling with my Blackberry. I'll try to be downstairs. We'll see where the evening takes us!

Tuesday 8 April UK VJ London pre-Jeraly's Interview Meet-Up

Jeraly -- your turn to start planning!

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Oh, and here's a map of where the John Snow is, for those who aren't familiar:

Done!

The John snow has outside standing anyway!

we could try for an early dinner on Tuesday?? (Would help prevent you being plastered for your later rendez-vous) or is that too much organising?

Nope, if that's fine with Jeraly, early dinner is fine. I have to get down to London Bridge for around 7.30ish.

Saying "rendez-vous" and associating it with my ex-husband is just so, so wrong. *shudders*

John Snow! How awesome is that!?! So it's you, me and Thomas F so far. StP -- you are forgiven for party-going. Sure you can't sneak in a quick pint beforehand?

I like that ECM will be reading either the Economist or Heat thereby swotting up on potential oub conversation pieces ranging from the Zimbabwe elections to Britney's cellulite

You know they sometimes put tables in the alleyway in the back of Glasshouse Stores - not sure if that qualifies as "sitting outside"

I do love the Heat mag, I did get to read 2 while I was there.

*sigh*

[Jeraly 4]

Yay! I'm happy with whatever! I posted the link to the hotel I am staying at somewhere...

Any good places nearby? Mum got tube tickets as well as train tickets to London so we can travel a bit if need be

So who are we expecting?! Ohhh This is soo cool I will prolly be a mess though so you will have to forgive me

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I've just realised I'm double-booked for Tuesday evening

I've just emailed the other people though to see if we can move it by even a day - hopefully that will be fine

or I can do a bit of both; I won't miss out altogether

my suggestions will sort of depend on how long I've got - I have a few favourite places in Soho (LOVE the Lido cafe; best selection of cakes ever ) and there's this fabulous restaurant whose name I always forget, but I know where it is - great decor, very quirky, and a good menu

I think it's called something basic like 'The Mediterranean' but I could be wrong

there'd be loads of choices though; Marylebone is good too - closer for Jeraly - and I know it a bit cos I have friends who live there... even Giraffe would be fun

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Have a drink on my behalf, guys!

[Jeraly 4]

Oh - I am sure I will have plenty... though not enough that I stink of it the next day... vodka anyone?!!?!?

StP - I hope you can make it! I'll let you guys all decide where we go because I am clueless and I trust you

[JandC 0]

Well poop!! I wanna come!! Quick......someone start me a charity so I can raise enough money to fly over!
