Excellent!
(Also, that is a dress code: smart. Or for me: formal)
Think on things you want/don't want; you know, the usual things.
Geeky masks? What do you plan to be? Or rather, whom?
Lor' look at me with my objective pronouns and prestigious formal grammar.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Just want to make sure I can get floorspace on the night of the 6th. Of July.
Also, people mentioned things about the meetup lasting more than one day. Has a decision being made. Do we have any plans for the sunday?

Tradition dictates that you should wear a dinner (ankle) or tea (below mid-calf) length sleeveless dress, accompanied by a wrap or stole, gloves, and evening shoes.

Don't know if my last request for floor space was noticed or not, so can I also request floor space from a person... Unfortunately July is all up in the air at the moment...

Plus, it looks like the tickets to Newcastle look to be a leetle expensive for some stupid reason (Returns are £60 WITH railcard?!?!?!).

I'll save the pressies for July and you can have a (very) belated birthday present then.
:frown:
But, yeah, not unexpected. Frickin' geography, and money.

Coorli. Coorly Koorli Koorly. Get Cassie to try on pretty dresses and then take photos and post them. Please.

Yeah.
Who's already requested floorspace will be going in the info-post when I update it (Which I will totally do at some point).

More details will probably be worked out once we've definitely booked the venue for the main meetup, which should be soon. It was mostly just saying that extending it could make the trip more worth it for those who have to travel further to get here, and I'm happy to have people here for additional time.
If anyone's still around on the monday evening, I will definitely skip out on a Pinafore rehearsal to take them to karaoke. That's my only specific idea at present.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Confirming +1. I apologise in advance for everything he says and does.
So Monday then? Unless someone jumps in and screams "NOOOOOOOOOooooo", I'll book some tickets to get me down there soon (tm). :smallsmile:

Oh, that's a dress code. Fair zenough. :smalltongue:
Things I want and don't want... I have no idea. I'll have to think about that. Balls. That's thinking. I don't like thinking.
Geeky mask was going to be based on the dress I got... and if I couldn't be bothered to find a dress, I'd go for a steampunk Phantom of the Opera-esque mask to go with slightly modified steampunk gear.

Little early for me. Can probably get there for 11 - 11:15.

Re. floorspace: I do have an awful big bed. Just sayin' :smallwink:
I believe we'll have space here, but it's Qwaz's call. I'll poke him into being definitive here.

Yup. I'll probably be catching a train instead because I am lazy and cannot bear waiting an extra forty minutes on a coach, so I'll be showing up around half ten given Cassie's showing at elevenish.
Also: I totally knew where that was! For once!
-
Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Alright, then how long we planning for this? :smalltongue: I'm thinking I and me mate will want to head back early evening. Just want to make sure how long everyone else is planning on being around.
And I'll go poke Nameless and Mal.
-
Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Note to self: check on coach and train times and prices in the morning. Do not end up not turning up through lack of organisation. This will result in Cassie coming and dragging me by the hair.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Helio, I'd be worried about which hair she's going to drag you by... that smiley looks scary. :smalleek:
also just checked the market days... they seem to be always open so no problem there.
is there anywhere else people want to go?
Forbidden Planet
Ork's Nest
Picadilly Circus
... that last one looks wrong but i can't seem to make it look right no-matter how many times i type it.

It is spelt G.O.O.G.L.E. (hint - try "PICC")

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Right, le tickets booked. Will be at London Paddington tube at 11:05ish (if tube runs on time... hah!), and will be needing to get to St Pancras again for 18:25.
See you guys Monday. :smallbiggrin:

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Well I said end of may and May has ended.
I do have a house mate now. FEAR NOT THOUGH! For it is Serpentine and I'm pretty sure she doesn't mind playgrounder invasions.
I have floor space going. Not sure how cramped people like to be when floor spacing but i can fairly confidently offer
a sofa,
an armchair,
3 or 4 on the floor in the living room
a matress in the spare room (bit full of boxes atm, might be able to fit one more in there)
It may be a bit selfish but i'd rather keep my own room free so I have somewhere to retreat to if I need a break but if we're hurting for space I'm not gonna be a **** about it.
Serpentine's rooom is hers to do with as she will.
Be warned. I have very little in the way of bedding. If you want floor space it might be worth bringing a sleeping bag/pillow of your own or something you're happy to substitute!
Sorry I haven't been around much, having RL business at work for a while. Hopefully that's about to end though. Looking forward to seeing everyone again be it at mine or at the meetup!

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Do we actually have a consensus about where we're meeting for Camden?
Hmm, looking at £25.75 for tickets including a travelcard. *wince*

Being a teenager I can pretty much sleep on any surface devoid of sharp edges, so if other people want to claim things like mattresses or sofas first then be my guest.
EDIT:
As an addendum to that, if I arrived at Newcastle Airport in the evening of the 6th (some time around 10), would it be possible for someone to pick me up? If not I can take public transport, but I have a terrible tendency to get myself lost on those things.

Well, my tickets are for London Paddington. Because I assumed we were meeting at the bear statue there, as Archie proclaimed.

Camden 4th June. Bank holiday Monday.

Oh. Uh.
...yeah, not likely then.

I'll try.

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
Well, folks, I'm back in the UK. The break up was about as amicable as it could be but still sucked. If you'd welcome a little company for Camden on Monday I'd like to tag along.
With regards to Newcastle in July, would anyone be interested in making it a very long weekend? Maybe carrying on to Monday or even Tuesday?

Re: UKitp 11 - Y'all should join us in the fun!
So, I hears from Facebook that there's a Camden thing.
I'm in a kind of awkward position where I was supposed to be somewhere else with some friends because we were gonna see Prometheus, but I haven't heard anything about it since last week, so I might be able to make it to Camden. Unless of course, they get back to me later today... in which case, Prometheus will win because, well... it's Prometheus.
But for now, it's a yes. :3
