Argh, can't abide London in the heat!

Ah well, never mind. As long as we find ourselves a nice air-conditioned restaurant to relax in come the evening!

Seeing as how I'm just in Kent I'd have loved to come along, especially as I've been meaning to visit the science museum aswell, plus the chance to meet some fellow brown coats would have been awesome.
...Sadly though I'm working over the weekend, which is a real shame.

I hope you all have a great time though.

Next event for me after this is the Film & Comic Con in London on the 25th June - Joss may(or may not) be there - but it will be a good place to be - even if some people will be going to the Starfury Event over the same days - mabe they are trying to get hold of Joss too?

I would hope that Joss will do the film & Comic Con for the exposure, rather than being locked away in a convention hotel

July will be a good time to have another meetup & maybe will have more info on the August Shindig/Memorabelia Event which will be a blast (and did I say that I`m getting 20x Jayne Cobb Hats for people attending to purchase?)

I suppose I had better get back to work now too ... otherwise I won`t get back to get changed for my dinner tonight at the Jazz`n`Blues Café near where I live.

Still no word on Phoebe - which is a shame, I don`t know if anybody else can get in touch, even if it`s to make sure she`s ok?

I am SO sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it. I have this slight issue where my mother's spent every day for the last year telling me (in her words) what an ungrateful, backstabbing, selfish little shit I am, and that she wouldn't give a toss if I decided to go jump. Since I'm not 18 till Tuesday, she's decided I'm not allowed to go to London on my own till Tuesday. She had great delight in telling me this while I've been in the middle of an asthma attack over the last week.

I'm really sorry. I really DID want to go but... well... my delightful mother has the last say. I guess in the last three days she has hold over me, she wants to USE that hold.

Yeah. That's where I've been recently, sorry for my disappearing act. Though, be thankful I DIDNT take my mother's advice and go jump.

sorry

Aw hon, never mind - there'll be other shindigs when you're legal!

Didn't thin I'd be making it today as have had a sleepless night and feel lousy. But must head off to meet my Captain! We'll be thinking of you...

Sorry you couldn`t make it Phoebe.

It looks like we may just be meeting up for the London Film & Comic Con June 25th at Earls Court, so all is not lost - if you see the adverts (offline), you will see that Joss is announced (but not guarenteed).

I had a good day guys, although I got back to a parking ticket on my car (even though there wasn`t any clear signs [I did find one eventualy albeit a very small permit holders only sign] ])

Anyhow, It was good to see a few new faces, my feet hurt & I`m pretty tired (got home about 2.45am)

so, today is going to be a slow day to recover.

Thanks to Fray, NikNik, StevieB, PrettyinPink & BecstheBeast for bying there.

Oh and if anyone is thinking of going to the Hitchhikers Guide to theGalaxy Exhibition, is good but wasn`t allowed to take photos - but I do have a photo of 3 of us outside the HeartofGold Esacpe Pod

I realised I didn`t get a group photo at the restuarnt, so someone else will have to post that.

Jeez, men are such wimps - can't hack the pace of life in the big city!

Sorry to hear about the parking ticket (just what you need to find at nearly 3 in the morning) - but that aside echo what Zol said, lovely to meet some fellow Browncoats. Here's hoping even more can make it next time (we'll invite Joss along if he's in town).

2nd July, 2nd July, 2nd July, 2nd July

Anybody taking the hint? Bait? Brainwashing?

I will be in England then and am keeping the day free, desparately hoping you guys decide to make the next London shindig the 2nd July.

I have even checked out some stuff:
As Wash would love it the Natural Histpry Museum has re-done its T-REx (it now responds to visitors) and the Diplodocus is 100 years old this year - they are celebrating with a special exhibition.

The PRIDE parade is happening that day which could be fun (I was trying to work in Inara somehow but that seems tenuous - sex workers are represented though, so maybe).

Especially for Kaylee there is an exhibition at the V&A called 'Touch Me' where you get to walk around and squeeze doorbells and walk barefoot on weird rugs and do other weird touchy-feely things.

Anyone fancy any of them or anything else? I will be mortified if there isn't someking of Shindig on the 2nd and will 'sqweam and sqweam until I am sick'

Only joking, but it would be cool all the same...
