Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 07, 2007, 11:04:37 AM: Further to the other post - here is a poll to see which dates people can meet.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Twinfan on August 07, 2007, 11:22:25 AM: I've said 8th, but I can do the 29th too. I'd only be able to make it during the day as I'd need to catch a bus back aorund 6:45pm. Should be there around midday though. £9 return - bargain!

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Kilby on August 07, 2007, 10:04:55 PM: I's love to turn up but I'm busy finalising my escape (from london) plans, so I dunno where I will be.

Post by: Elliot on August 08, 2007, 09:32:58 AM: Can I apologise for the grammatical error in the poll (what / which) - too much Youngs and Eastenders when I typed it :(

Post by: horsehead on August 08, 2007, 12:46:45 PM: Elliot don't lower yourself to that kinda level! Eastenders indeed.

Post by: 38thBeatle on August 08, 2007, 10:52:50 PM: I am having to hold fire as I am due to undergo some (minor) surgery that will hamper my perambulations somewhat. Not exactly sure of dates as yet.

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: gwEm on August 09, 2007, 09:42:53 AM: i didn't vote, as so far they're all ok, but not the 1st. things always seem to be last minute for me, but i'm keen to attend such a thing.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: 38thBeatle on August 09, 2007, 06:59:46 PM: Fortunately shouldn't be JT though from previous experience, I shall be unable to get about much for about 2 to 3 weeks-it is the anaesthetic that does me in. I should get an idea of timescale soon so maybe I can assist with the proceedings.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 09, 2007, 09:02:21 PM: Wows - a two week hangover - that's pretty bad 38th - hope things are OK
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: 38thBeatle on August 09, 2007, 11:30:23 PM: Wish it was Elliot-actually not a bad idea come to mention it. I am actually so sh*gged out from work, I am actually looking forward to having surgery-how screwed up is that?
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Johnny Mac on August 13, 2007, 05:04:10 PM: I'd be up for a meet in London somewhere. Any ideas for a pub and area yet?

The Chesire Cheese!!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Ted on August 13, 2007, 06:26:36 PM: How about Soho?

I have never heard of this place before...

Or plenty of options in Soho...

Post by: Afghan Dave on August 14, 2007, 12:23:14 AM: Soho sounds good but I'll roll with the popular opinion.

But a decision must be made! :wink:

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 14, 2007, 09:50:22 AM: Well I work almost next the The Olde Chesire Cheese, so its good for me BUT how about the 'new' Intrepid Fox on the tip of Denmark Street? It seems big, has lots of greebos in it, and its near lots of over priced guitar products, so it'll probably do perfectly.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Twinfan on August 14, 2007, 09:59:23 AM: A trip to Denwark Street is a must, as is any other guitar emporiums within reach. If I'm coming to the big smoke, I'm going shopping!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: gwEm on August 14, 2007, 10:40:03 AM: whats that divey bar playing hard rock and metal..? 90% certain its on manette street - close to soho and denmark street. (crobar i think - not sure)

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=manette+street&sll=54.162434,-3.647461&sspn=11.182601,29.003906&ie=UTF8&ll=51.514705,-0.130012&spn=0.002898,0.007081&z=17&om=1

or it might be old compton street, but i dont think so.

i like the music and atmosphere there. smells of cigarettes and old beer ;)

We invented heavy metal and rip-off guitar shops, so up yours :) :P

UK, UK, UK!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Kilby on August 14, 2007, 10:48:39 AM: Due to me being in the last stages of escaping London (permanantly), it would be unfair for me to chip in regarding dates.

However hopefully the date will fit in well enough to allow the meeting to be (one of) my farewell nights out :)

Post by: gwEm on August 16, 2007, 10:13:55 AM: bump!

unless someone decides on a date, time and place soon then this meet will never happen, and twilight od will keep laughing at us ;)

Elliot?

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Ted on August 16, 2007, 10:51:16 AM: Well it seems like 8th is the date, but we're a bit thin on numbers.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 16, 2007, 11:18:07 AM: OK - Saturday the 8th it is:

To keep the guitar theme lets meet in the bar (The TIPA bar I think) on Denmark Street next to Vintage and Rare and Rose Morris. After a few beers we can decide where to go after that.

From what time?
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Twinfan on August 16, 2007, 11:35:53 AM: I can get there for lunchtime? I'd need to head back around 6pm though.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: FELINEGUITARS on August 16, 2007, 11:36:02 AM: I could possibly make it but work all day Saturday - so wouldn't be till later if I were to come

Hey, here in Texas we have SHINER BOCK, which with ALL my world travels is THE BEST BEER I have EVER tasted (yes it's dark), but then thats Texas and NOT NY :lol:

Post by: 38thBeatle on August 19, 2007, 10:17:58 AM: I should know about my situation after I have seen a Doctor on 30th Aug-having said that, my wonderful band mates have gone ahead and booked a gig for 8th September in spite of my asking them not to as I don't know if I will be up and about!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: gwEm on August 28, 2007, 01:07:43 AM: Saturday the 8th
The TIPA Bar, Denmark Street

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 28, 2007, 01:39:40 PM: Done - see you there :D
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: bucketshred on August 28, 2007, 05:58:23 PM: Who's defo going?

I might see if I can make it down - however, I have my stepdad's and girlfriend's birthdays during September. Hmmmm - might take the missus down to London a week before!

Andy!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Twinfan on August 28, 2007, 11:36:38 PM: If you're meeting at 4pm, it's really not worth me coming down just for an hour and a half. Sorry guys. I'd send 5 or 6 times that on the train/bus getting there!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Ted on August 29, 2007, 10:37:33 AM: ^I thought you we're going to go shopping in Denmark Street before hand?

Maybes:
4. Feline
5. Kilby
6. Bucketshred
7. Twinfan

9. Afghan Dave
10. Johnny Mac
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Kilby on August 29, 2007, 05:23:28 PM: My maybe is still a little vague

although I am in London on the 8th

I however am working that day, if my shift partner turns up then I will be able to attend as my shift finishes around 15:00

However he is very unreliable, and we are taking bets on wether he will bother to return from holidat on the correct week.

I however hope to be there (as I havn't had a beer for 6 weeks)
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Johnny Mac on August 30, 2007, 06:58:38 PM: Sounds good if we can get a good turn out.

Fancy a few beers Jonathon? It'll do you good mate.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on August 31, 2007, 10:39:10 AM: Shoot - I have to fly to Germany on the 7th for an emergency - sorry guys, would have been great to meet you all.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: gwEm on September 02, 2007, 07:15:26 PM: mmm, just 2 definates now... maybe we should reschedual?

Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on September 03, 2007, 05:58:26 PM: What about the 15th?
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: gwEm on September 03, 2007, 06:35:11 PM: the 15th might be ok with me, not 100% sure.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Elliot on September 05, 2007, 01:44:03 PM: Anyone else?
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Afghan Dave on September 05, 2007, 02:27:52 PM: You all know I'm just waiting for a firm date... Or I'll take more sh1t from Ben/TO and his NYC bros!
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: 38thBeatle on September 05, 2007, 06:19:25 PM: I ruled out I am afraid-having (minor) surgery on Monday 10th and I am unlikely to be up and about for a week at least.
Title: London BKP meet Poll
Post by: Kilby on September 05, 2007, 07:20:51 PM: Well I'm having to pull a 16 hour shift this Saturday.

The following Saturday (15th) I will be back at home.

Mr 38, hope all goes well

Post by: Kilby on September 06, 2007, 07:53:36 PM: You do realise that none of the NY group exist except for Ben.

All the rest of them are characters figments of his imagination, he then feels the need to give them a public voice ;)

As I have a work financed trip back home (hurrah) even the prospect of beer, guitars and disreputible characters will not keep me in London
