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

Hellooo It was suggested I post it up here. My birthday's on a friday next year, which means that it's officially a birthday weekend for me.

To celebrate me turning nearly 30 (not almost thirty, that'll be the next one) I was wondering if people would fancy a saturday meet on the 13th feb somewhere in bristol. Most likely an evening at a pub, which doesn't need to be a crazy busy pub, but on the other hand, I know where we can move on to if anyone wants to the night away as well.

If anyone fancies it, well, suggest ideas or preferences... I'm calling dictator rights on this one so my decision will be final, but I'm a friendly kind of dictator. No killings or maimings I just thought it'd be fun to celebrate my birthday with my first h2 meet and combine it with an excuse to get our west-countryers together...

So, roll up! Roll up!

I thought I'd mention that the official meet thread is currently in Robyn's journal.

Oh, either or, I'll keep an eye on both.

Woohoo!

Will there be cake?

That could possibly be arranged...

(who am I kidding? Of course there will be cake. What's the point in a birthday without a cake?)

ooo

Will there be beer? and Drunkyness?

Of course. There happens to be more than one decent house in this here town of mine...

Not to mention the apple.

An actual boat full of actual cider.

Bristol? That's nearly in America isn't it?

Its not... its not Sougth of the river is it?
*shivers*

Nooooooo!

I lived there for a while. I'm up near Frenchay now. One now lives in a posh villarge.

I'm interested. Not certain of anything, but certainly interested. I've been to one hootoo meet and loved it.

TRiG.

I for one would be glad to meet you. We haven't met before, have we?

who? me or trig?

It's getting close and it's looking good! i think there's almost a plan emerging as well!

I know I haven't met you, Robyn, but I'm not sure about TRiG!

I need to start booking that hotel... and poking my other friend who I'm hopefully seeing that week too.

Right, I'll see if I can summon up a link...

This one is basically AT the bus station:

And this one's right opposite the train station (well, as near as dammit) and seems pretty cheap...

Oh! I just meant that *I* need to look them up, but thanks for doing that Robyn.

Ah, and just to let you know that, as I'm in Bristol, I've invited my best friend along too. SHe's working during the day though so she doesn't know whether she'll be able to make it. I'll keep you posted.

Just going off to book hotels now!

Done! Just in case anyone would like to stay at the same place, I've booked in at the Premier Inn at 'Bristol City Centre King St'. It was the cheapest I could find, at £61.
