As some of you already know, I've been trying to organise a RPF meetup for when I visit London. grin

I've been contacting people over PM thus far (hi, guys!) but as this approach is both tedious and might result in some people being left out, I'm creating a thread for it. It's just temporary to set up the event itself (and maybe to post pics afterwards, if everyone agrees), after which it will be locked.

Thus -
The date is Sunday 29 November
The time is 12 Noon
The place is Leicester Square Tube Station, with plans to meander over to Forbidden Planet after (maps here and here)

The people so far are (feel free to add yourself to this list if you can make it!)
- Fins
- Sinre
- Sith-I-5
- Wing
- Xany
- darthhelinith



So ... what say you, guys?

I can confirm I'll be coming, incidentally.

I've been suggesting we visit Collectormania, but tickets for that must be paid for, and in all likelihood it will be ridiculously swamped on the day, so I might suggest we take a merry jaunt to Leicester Square, to a little shop called 'Forbidden Planet' which is a sci-fi/fantasy shop that will likely appeal to everyone if/when we run out of things to talk about. tongue . There are also half a dozen second hand book shops in the area, and plenty of places to sit and eat and chat too.

See here for where I mean...

http://forbiddenplanet.com/stores/

The Shaftsbury avenue store is relatively easy to find from Leicester Square station... a better map being here, scrolling down.

If we want to wander around, we certainly have the freedom to, as well.

Thoughts?

I'm almost certainly coming, but I can't put a cast-iron guarantee on that just yet.

And...

love Forbidden Planet

Seriously, if it wasn't for their Glasgow branch, I would never have been able to read KOTOR or Legacy without waiting for the TPBs. I owe them my custom. tongue

Excellent! That makes five of us - Sithy hasn't posted yet, but I presume he's still in.

Anyway, sci-fi/fantasy store! I like the idea of Forbidden Planet. grin I think that's actually reasonably near my brother's place (where I'll be crashing for the duration) so that works out fine for me that way too. grin

Darn it, if only I wasn't at University in Wales... cry
It would be so easy to meet up with you guys- I live inside the M25!!



Unless I can somehow come home that weekend... thinking

Oh, I am still in, alright.

Thing is, I am not the most punctual person this side of the Galactic Centre, so having a place that I can catch up with you guys is more important to me, than the initial meeting point - I don't want people waiting on me and getting annoyed.

Visiting Forbidden Planet is a great idea, however. Just a shame there are no seats down there. sad

True, Sithy. But, I believe there should be plenty places for us to settle down and have a chat. A couple of pubs, a Pizza Hut, I recall etc, etc. We could meet at one of the stations, methinks, and wander from there.

*shrugs*

I'm not this organised offline. I'll arrive a day late. tongue

There used to be a nice pub across the road from FP - my other SW group used to use it on meetups, but I think it got closed.

There is still a Pizza Hut at the end of the road.

Links to this thread have been PMed to Jerjerodd-Lennox and Livi-Wan.

Darthelinith, this Welsh university. Where in Wales?

Last I spoke to Livi she said she was in Wales too and couldn't come. sad

But if you can come down for the weekend, Helinith, do! grin We've already got Wing maybe (*cough*definitely*cough*) coming down from Scotland... grin grin

I´ll be in London, somewhere and will have to find my way. Anyway. Do we have a time, yet? And does anybody know cheap motels, pensions or youth-hostels or something? I might be able to get one or two additional Panzers to that meeting. But they need some place to stay, which is under 80€ a night. Any idea?

Sirak and Draco would appreciate it, I am sure. wink
