BKP meet: Sat 6th Dec, 7pm, Intrepid Fox, London

[WezV]

nah, i dont drive so am used to having a guitar strapped to my back!!  in fact, with clever packing the explorer gig bag might be the only luggage i need for 1 night

[WezV]

tickets are booked!!!   see you guys next saturday

[AndyR]

Nice one...

So timing-wise it looks like we could be heading for a mid-afternoon to mid-evening sort of window?

I'm possibly trying to fit christmas shopping round it, but no big plans yet... the only thing I'm actually committed to at the moment is: "Of course darling, there's no way I'm walking into any shop in Denmark Street under the influence of alcohol..." :lol:

[Johnny Mac]

Ok, I've told my woman I'm going drinking with a bunch of guitarist that I know from the internet and she looked at me in a strange way.  :lol:

What time? Ok lets say 7:00 in The Intrepid Fox St Giles High St London WC2.

The shops in Denmark St should still be open around that time too. I'll have a good look around first.  :D

I'll wear my BKP T-Shirt!

[AndyR]

7 sounds good to me - that's what I'll aim for unless there are further developments...

I know what's going to happen, we're all going to cruise the the Denmark St shops, so there's gonna be a bunch of us carrying gigbags etc after "accidental purchases" :lol:

Except for Wez, of course, who will have sold his Explorer to Vintage and Rare and set up a lucrative distribution deal with them...

Alas I don't have a BKP t-shirt, I had been wondering about displaying one of the stickers/labels that come in the BKP boxes (but I don't want to look more of a dork than I usually do!).

I understand that in my current state of dishevelment I'm a bit of a James May look-a-like (but with slightly longer hair, and a side parting) - but I'm not convinced that this description is actually that helpful for people who've never seen me before!!

[FELINEGUITARS]

we will let you off fernando!

but what about you jonathan???

Sounds good - glad it looks like we will make it
I will be there about 7ish
I might bring a guitar if it's not too crowded - sometimes breathing space is at a premium in the Fox on a weekend.

If we need the beer to be cheaper we could all move en masse to the Weatherspoons on Charing X Road at some point (what used to be the Marquee club).

[Oli]

Guess who's hours at work changed from Monday morning to Saturday evening a couple of weeks ago? Yep, I unfortunately can't make it, typical! Ah well, hopefully we'll have another London meet sometime in '09 :)

[Johnny Mac]

^ Throw a sicky dude!

[WezV]

yeah, definately call in sick!

[WezV]

i should be in london by midday but am more than happy to amuse myself for a bit... but now i am wondering about bringing a guitar... not just because i might be ashamed next to jonathans ;) But if it is going to make me be in the way i wont bother

its been a shitety week so far and i need a drink!!!!!   although its only tuesday so i might just have one now :)

[gwEm]

see you guys at 7.

for cheap beer theres a sam smiths pub even more close by - but wetherspoons works too.

agree this needs a sticky ;)

[noodleplugerine]

Expect the fox to be absolutely packed, atleast it was when I was there last saturday.  But then again, maybe 7 is a bit early for the big crowds.

[Johnny Mac]

So who's definitely going then?

I'm going, it should be good fun.

Once we all get there if it does get too packed we could do a relocate. We will need a camera for pics or the yanks won't believe us!

[AndyR]

I was thinking exact the same thing (who's actually going?)

I'm definitely going.

It depends on how things pan out tomorrow whether I look on here again between now and leaving for the meet...

SO DON'T CHANGE THE PLANS ANYONE!!! :lol:

(EDIT: I'll have to check now, won't I? :lol:)

[Johnny Mac]

The temperature drops down to -4 Sat night so put your coats on!!  :lol:

Also some kind of hat may be in order!

I'll have to give our Afghan Dave a shout on Facebook.
