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

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 [link=http://forbiddenplanet.com/stores/]here[/link] and [link=http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Shopping/Forbidden_Planet_Megastore/5d6c/#MAP]here[/link])

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?

 

Taaaaaake picccctures!

-I_H

 

So, I think I´ll make it, actually . . .

 

Yes, please do.

I want a written report on what occured there too. Thank you.

 

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

And...

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.

 

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. 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.

 

*wants to go very badly!*

i'm with imp. pictures MUST BE TAKEN!

 

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



Unless I can somehow come home that weekend...

 

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.

 

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.

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

 

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.

 

Indeed, we will probably be surprise guests!!! My sister to a higher degree of probablity than me, though.

 

For he iiis aaann Eeeeengllissh-maaaan!
Heeee's ... an EEEEEeeeeeeeeeenglishmaaaaaaaaaaan!

(Sorry, just had to put that in there.)

Also, mark me down for the Meet Up.
In spirit.

 

Bangor. Woop Woop!

I could probably make it, but I need to find out wether my family have moved house yet, cause if they haven't then it'll need to be a day return.
Having a lecture 4pm on the Friday and 10am on the Monday doesn't do much in my favour either.


So I won't make any promises untill I know the state of my family that weekend.
But if all goes well, I might actually be able to make it.
*is impressed*


EDIT: Navigating around London is pretty easy for me; I've practically grown up there. But I'll need directions to where we'll be meeting up.

Memo to self- Pocket A to Z. (Buy. Guard with life.) Also; Camera, money, lightsaber, sonic screwdriver, Imperial March, sketch book (for train journey) notebook (for any sudden fan fiction insipiration), money, keys, phone (remember to CHARGE)...ect ect ect...

 

Time: Say noon, and make it a lunch meeting? I think this depends mostly on those coming in from elsewhere, though, I don't want to make you guys wake up for some 4am train to be in London in time, or something.

Fins - I don't know any, sorry. Usually I would've searched up all the cheap hotels but I'm staying with my brother.

 

Likewise! Don't worry, Saint, one day there will be a Commonwealth RPF Meet-up, where all us randoms from former colonies will meet up.

 

There's Forbidden Planet branches in London? Awesome.

 

Travelodge looks good. I found this one through Google, as an alternative.

Wow, that takes me back. I used to plan trips like that in my younger days. Sooo, how do you carry the Imperial March, darthelinith?

 

Fixed.
