You could try the Holiday Inn in Camden Town - I met a guy the other day who had got a fantastic deal in there on the net. Otherwise I'm a bit clueless - sorry - but hope to see you there.
So sorry, Liana, that you can't make it - it's been too long.
Oh, and as for the venue Mr/Mrs/Ms Oops, we searched high and low for a good place in London that was relatively cheap. We used to get this place for free but now have to pay £25 for it - which is still a good deal. It's true that the beer is a tad on the pricey side but the room itself is absolutely ideal - great acoustics, plenty of room and quiet when the readings take place. Come along - I think you'll like it!
yes... it has, Thursdays are out for me, as I have a 9am lecture on a Friday... usually I'd skip it, but I have exams a week after and need all the help I can get. I'm sad too, you're right it's been too long. There are some great friends I havent seen for ages, and new people to meet. Lola/Alumbloom I am most disappointed not to be able to speak to face to face.
Well I hope that the event is as inspiring as those that have gone before...
will be (literally) overflowing with spirit (gin). These events changed my life!
Oh I don't think Alumgoon/lola/maxwell eddison will be able to pull himself away from the pikey site long enough to make the trip to London. Shame though.
I admire your strength of character, Jasper. Truth be told, alot of your comments go straight over my head, but that's something maybe I need to work on. I know a girl who lives in Tampa and she kept complaining to me that she doesn't suceed very well socially because noone 'get's' her sense of humour and she was amazed that I could connect to her so easily. She was probably the first person I'd ever talked to from the states who could 'do' sarcasm very well. When I first started working at 17, I worked alongside an old scouse docker. He made life very hard for me. One day I stepped aside and asked him what his problem was and he barked at me, "I just don't like you, that's all." You know, at 17, fresh out of school and finding my way in the 'working world,' I was shocked that someone could possibly feel that way about someone else, for no good reason. I'm proud of the fact that I could never in my lifetime, ever feel that way about someone else and I can't begin to perceive how someone could. Missi is like that. He's a charming man, but once he's decided he doesn't like you he never changes his mind and you become consistently subject to his uglier side. It's a problem he has to deal with daily. Fortunately, I don't :)
Sorry Liana, I thought you were saying bugger at the idea of Tim making an utter imbecile of himself yet again, but I've now thought that you might have been saying bugger because you can't go.
It is a bugger you can't go.
To go, or not to go: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of an outrageous abc audience,
Or to take arms against a phorum of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say Jasper
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
reading his posts is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly not to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to masturbate: ay, there's the rub;
Anyway, enough of that nonsense...
can't make me mind up - what a surprise!
London is nearer than Derby for me but twice the hassle and expense. I'm skint at the moment and today, I was attacked by a dog.
On the plus side, it would be nice to meet old friends (and new), I will be able to show off what will be, by then, a scar on my throat and tell exaggerated stories about how a deranged bitch attacked me.
Later, I'd tell you the story of the dog.
If I go, of course.
