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

h2g2 Researcher Acid Override will be visiting Glasgow over the coming week and I decided a mini-meet might be in order.

I propose either the evening of Saturday 23rd August or Sunday 24th August.

Might I suggest Saturday might be preferable? Some of us have to work on Monday.

I'm off for a week, so Sunday would be cool for me!!

But Sat. should be Ok as well... Venue?

Well, I wouldn't mind top "usually not busy" pub "The Bear Pit", but it'll probably end up being in the Counting House.

The Counting House is reasonably tradtional for these events. Or at least, it is since they messed with the Old Printworks.

Don't know the bearpit.. but i know the counting house (wutherspoon clone pub MK145 !)

Earliest i can usually get back into town is about 8.30.. then last train home at 11.15, so a shortish night is the norm for me!

Off to bed for so will catch up with details tommorow... oh some descriptions would probably help

Cannae make it Saturday for a mini-meet. One of my colleagues has a birthday pi$$-up tomorrow, and there's a bunch of old friends that will be over here for that too, so I'm gonna have to pass on the Glasgow mini-meet.

I'm gonna be in Chicago...I think the round trip fpr a night in the pub would be a bit expensive!

No you're not, you're in Dundee...

Pardon...put it down to numerical dyslexia. The round trip is still too expensive though..

Zantic

Chigaco/Dundee, easy to confuse.

Description:

Beard

Or you could look at the photo on my page. No, wait a minute, don't want to scare people off. Agggg! Don't look!

Sod. Too late...

Yes... usually just "Jamie" is an adequate description.

"What does he look like?"
"He looks like Jamie."

Right then, I'll be in the Counting House from, say, 6, or earlier if I feel like it

Sounds like a plan.

Oh know- you're all gonna be sloshed by the time i turn up at 8.30

OK, fare enough- you only really had to say 'beard'...

Looks like a fine specimen.. just don't change it till i get there or i wont recognise you...

Er.. slight change of plan- i may not be able to make it... a lady friend requires my services...

But she has been known to make last minute changes to arrangements.... so i may be there, i may not...

Definately meet up with you guys one of these meets!

Chances are DD, my bro and I will make it too. It can then also double as a vague 18th birthday celebration. 18?????
