As usual, I will be planning to wear my h2g2 T-shirt. Isn't it about time hints and rumours about the next meet started to leak out of the Towers? Or that we started hassling them about it?

Definitely.

They'll correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Clive and Amy† managed to get some reassurances about the date from Abi.

Now, should I wear my white h2g2 t-shirt or my black h2g2 t-shirt...?

The next official meet in London, should be during the summer at some point in glorious sunshine (followed by torrential rain according to tradition).

I happen to know what day the next meet's on... only because I have Abi's ear and Clive's good at wheedling. smiley - winkeye

But wild smiley - ponys couldn't drag it out of me.

What happens?

Stuff happens. Mostly silliness. smiley - erm I think.




Ours was a little different from most meets in that it was in the US, and we had several underage researchers in attendance, so going to a bar/pub was out of the question (Pennsylvania has very strict laws about minors and alcohol).

We met first in the lobby of the motel where the out of towners stayed, then went to breakfast at a local restaurant, then took off to an amusement park for the day. After that we went to dinner at a tex-mex restaurant, then the next day had a picnic in the park, where we were eventually asked to move our cars because we were parked where the vehicles setting up for an outdoor concert needed to park. We ended up moving the cars to our house to talk and have pizza.

I should mention that it was blistering hot outdoors those two days - 101F, so it was wonderful to get into an air conditioned house that evening.
