Gaimanmeet!

So, mainly for the attention of [livejournal.com profile] gnillot, [livejournal.com profile] kimkali and [livejournal.com profile] being_here ;

The Talk Details are -

London Talk and Signing
Friday, 6:30pm, 31st October 2008
Old Theatre
London School of Economics
Houghton Street, WC2A 2AE


Have already (a whole week in advance, go me!) sorted out meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] malvino onna train, and Gnillot is meeting us at the theatre.
Which just leaves Kim and Being_here - I'll be leaving Reading at 4ish I reckon, and Paddington by about 5, hopefully to be at the theatre by 6 or so(thus allowing ample time for me to Walk Very Slowly and/or Get Lost along the way).

If you could let me know if you still are coming along (the whole thing is sold out and there is a waiting list for tickets, so I'd feel kinda mean about wasting one), and if so, where and when is easiest to hook up, that would be great. Then all we have to do is synchronise watches and chose the appropriate colour of carnation to wear!

ION it's been a busy yet uneventful week (ie nothing actually interesting enough to write about ;p).
Had 2nd riding lesson, which was less nerve wracking and thus much more fun than the first, even managed a decent canter with no flailing or panic.
Got my hair done so I look less like a frizzy badger.
Prodded various Cunning Things Drakkos is doing for the mud . Slept.
And that's about it really! Have a wedding to go to this weekend - never did find someone to go with, but should be fun anyway, as I have a New Dress and am even getting a Hair Do. It's all good really.

Train with wine! May as well be civilized about this (shame you can't get your own compartment anymore).

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I was watching an old Poirot thingy with Reuss at the weekend and thought almost exactly the same about the compartments, they looked great!

But yes. Train and wine, you can't get much more civilised than that!

You're missing the polite conversation.

[identity profile] malvino.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
If the conversation isn't polite we'll get meaningful looks from our fellow travellers.

However, if you drink enough those meaningful looks turn into furtive glances of envy and admiration!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that how people always look at us anyway??

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
ps I just looked up the Bandit bike on google (it's a slow day here) and Oh. My. That's one shiny looking machine!

[identity profile] malvino.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yarr, I'm looking around for possible alternatives now, but it's an almost done deal.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent! Is the plan still to keep the littler bike for work and the big one to go VROOOOOMING around the countryside on?

[identity profile] malvino.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, the commute won't benefit from a faster bike, and since I'm under £5/week on fuel at present I think it's the smart option. The Bigger bike will be for everything else.

There's still a chance I'll get the Intruder back, which would be fun for a while.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
Woo, I thought the Intruder was gone for good. So you'd end up with 3 bikes? Nice start to a collection ;p

Of course you'd need a good long run somewhere on the new bike to test it out properly...

[identity profile] malvino.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, that's what I want a bigger bike for, anything over an hour isn't fun on a small one.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can imagine something you can comfortably cruise along on makes a big difference ;)

[identity profile] malvino.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially when someone can ride pillion ;)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
ah, of course, you can take passengers now (so you're like witch, only better ;p)

That definitely calls for a road trip!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay!

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to the cinema tonight with Mr T for the first time, ooh months and months. The last time we tried to do this my aunt died. Wish us luck1!! *drives over the zombies*

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh what you going to see? I'm sure no-one will die this time.

Speaking of zombies tho, have you seen the trailers for this (http://www.e4.com/deadset/) starting on E4 next week?

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)

("my external genitalia: a tale of loss and suffering"?)

Surely it's GAIMANMEAT.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-24 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
hmmm GAIMANMEAT

Must finalise kidnap plans...

[identity profile] failing-angel.livejournal.com 2008-10-25 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Friday?
I thought it was on the Thursday?

Aha - maybe I can get to this after all

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-28 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
yep friday! But last I heard it was sold out, with waiting list.
I may, however, end up with a spare ticket if you'd be interested(should know for sure tonight); it'd be good to have someone to pass it on to.

[identity profile] failing-angel.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Ach, my Friday plans have been yo-yo-ing like madness - I never did get myself organised. C'est la vie.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2008-10-30 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
I rarely get myself organised to this degree, so i'm quite pleased with myself ;p
