Title: London meet, July?
Post by: The Void on 30 May, 2015, 22:05:00
I'm making this a post, before it drops out of the chatroom.

" @myhotcaffeine  [30|May 07:35 PM]:   Hey guys! My name is Alexis Lee and I'm a player from Singapore. I'm going to be in London in July and I'd like to meet some of you around the area if it's possible. I was in the US previously and I've been working on a huge travel edit of people I have met on my journey, and I'd like members of community to be part of it as well. If any of you are around the area please let me know (maybe via email or Facebook) and we can work something out? :)"

Any Londoners (or nearby-ers) up for a Jam with Alexis? If a date gets set, I'll try and make it along, if I'm free. (It'd be nice to meet you when I'm not jetlagged, Alexis! :) )

Thanks Mr. Void! I really hope the meetup gets going. It'll be nice to see you again and I totally understand the whole jetlag thing.. I just got home a couple days back and there's an event today and I'm just perpetually tired.  :-X

I'd definitely be up for that! My July is quite busy so hopefully I'll be around for it. Permission to bring other circus-y toys?  :D

Bring it! I'll film it all! :)

I just checked my schedule and the best days for me are Fridays I think... Is everyone ok with that? Are any of you working etc? If you are I'll try to push for a weekend and the only open weekend day for me is the 19th.

I can't do that Friday 17 but any past are fine
19 sounds good, but can't confirm. Waiting on somthing, so I'll get back to you.

Sorry, wouldn't make that

I could do 10/17 Fridays or 19th. Later than that may clash with other stuff for me.
Title: Re: London meet, July?
Post by: myhotcaffeine on 31 May, 2015, 21:08:27
So far 19th seems to be the better day! How about the rest of the people? :)

What about a location? Any ideas, @myhotcaffeine , or do you want suggestions?

I'll be staying in Kingston upon Thames, I guess we can choose a location that is accessible for everyone and has decent scenery? Outdoors or a park or some nice landmarks? I've never been to the UK so I'm open to any suggestions as long as I can get there by the Tube.

It seems like 19th is a prime date... :)

@myhotcaffeine How about Battersea Park? Car parks are cheap on a Sunday. Train station Battersea Park (not too far from Kingston). Tube station Sloane Square. Lots of stuff in the park to see. Views of the Thames and Battersea Power Station.

Looks really good! I don't drive and I'm not familiar with the place so is it possible for someone to pick me up (train/tube station I'm not sure which one)? And just in case of rain - do we need a wet-weather plan perhaps?

It would be an extra hour's diversion for me to pick you up at Kingston, but if you get the train to Battersea Park station (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Kingston+upon+Thames,+Greater+London,+UK/Battersea+Park,+London+SW11+4NJ,+United+Kingdom/@51.4407809,-0.2243265,13z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4876093778987453:0x4c3f21b23e3e35ec!2m2!1d-0.300689!2d51.41233!1m5!1m1!1s0x4876050ebc506039:0xfed645816162fe41!2m2!1d-0.156498!2d51.479108!5i1), I could meet you outside the station, if you like.
Something like 12:30 suit you?

Wet weather: worry about it later, when we can check the forecast.
