h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Pierce and Pastey :
That's 10pm at the airport, I then need to get into town and check in, so not sure when I'll *actually* be able to go out and drink.
...
Although a possibility would be to get in touch with you when I've done that, and see if / where I can join you.

Sounds like a pl.. I mean a good idea

(Nothing is as fragile as a plan )

I will be arriving on Friday.

I should be familiar with the city center by then

how much before the actual* meet are you arriveing then? or.... are you there already?

I'm arriving Wednesday, that should do it

Arriving Wednesday you say? Did you want me to give your an orientation tour of the city?

Well, I *was* asking where the pre-pre-pre-meet was going to be held (and Sunday's after party), but I think I'll be too tired to do anything till Th*rsday anyway, so let's take it from there

There's a lot of places to go, not sure you have time for a proper tour.
Must sort out my hotel bookings so I know when I'm getting up there.

Well, I shall be around and happy to act as a local host and tour guide for those arriving early or staying later

I'm arriving thing I think... err, I think anyhow... Just as soon as I get organised and figure out transport and stuff

I'll arrive Thing as well, but following an intercontinental flight, I'm not sure whether I'll be beat, or still on Texas time and up anyway. Most likely I'll be both, so I'll play it by ear.

The venue for the prequel is booked! We have the cider bar in the Crown & Kettle!

They have a dedicated cider bar? I've not drunk cider since I was.... oo 13 probably ahh... nope... tell a lie... shakespears head.... I'm sure I was forced* to drink someones so-called cider... (prob one of those aweful new funny ones... well, new-ish...)

Hmmm... that looks to be a bit too far to Toddler Walk all the way back to the hotel.

We'll carry you back... no problem...

The pub also sells some pretty fine beers too

Nowhere in Manchester is too far to walk, I made it from the Palace to the Crown & Kettle in ten minutes last night

Oh. I thought I recognised the name of that place when I was in there last week.

I think I left *before* being asked to go, but I might need to wear a disguise...

So now it's pre-pre-meet Th*rsday in Port Street, pre-meet Friday in The Crown & Kettle and main meet Saturday in Kro Picadilly?

Where exactly in Port Street? what's the name of the bar?
