Ok. Let this be the last Camden Crawl thread. But also the most important.

If you're not going, don't get huffy about it, just ignore this thread. In fact, let it die now...

So. Wristbands can be picked up from 3ish at the G-Lounge. Myself and a couple of my mates will be in Camdonia from about 1.30ish, possibly indulging in some terrible but cheap food and a cheap sharpener at the Wetherspoons up near the Barfly end of town. Come and join us. Everyone. Then we can PLAN and ORGANISE and DRINK and COLLAPSE.

Alan you have to get there early, as you're my mate Foggy's designated carer for the evening. Thank you.

If I actually manage to get the ticket I've paid for

then I shall be around some time after about 4 as I have an interview type thingy at 3.30 in Whitechapel.

fionapinkstars | 19 Apr '06, 12:31 | X
- i have to pick up
  
  mine and gemma's wristbands so i'll be there round 3. who wants to hang out with me? anyone? :)
  
  branka_s @fionapinkstars | 19 Apr '06, 12:32 | X
- Theres loads of tickets I've found
  
  so I'm definjately coming. So I can eventually meet all of you in a sober-not-allowed-to-drink state. Although I have work, so won't be there till about 6pm - which could be a problem for Stabby3 giving me my ticket. Anyway um... see you there.
  
  moker @fionapinkstars | 19 Apr '06, 12:32 | X
- We're going to be there from 1.30
  
  I'm going to create a spreadsheet or perhaps a timeline to work out my evening's entertainment.
  
  You'll find this in a bin on Camden High Street by 4.30pm
  
  lordscopie @fionapinkstars | 19 Apr '06, 12:34 | X
  - ha!
    
    I read that as 'you'll find me in a bin on camden high street by 4.30pm'
    
    sarahc @lordscopie | 19 Apr '06, 12:43 | X
I'll be there about

5 I reckon!

Hannah82 | 19 Apr '06, 12:35 | X
Coolio

The Good Mixer and somewhere else will have drinks offers on, so we could land in there after picking up wristbands from about 4-5ish.

    sarahc @lordscopie | 19 Apr '06, 13:14 | X
I'll be there for 5.30!

Let me know where you'll all be :)

  - No worries
    
    I( don't have money to get drunk so I'll kep you relatively sober!
    
    Hannah82 @homesick_alien | 19 Apr '06, 12:59 | X
    - thankyou!
      
      I clearly need some kind of mentor to stop me from making a drunken (and considerably poorer) tit of myself. :)

    smilingcrazylady @homesick_alien | 19 Apr '06, 13:06 | X

Wetherspoons should be reserved for morning drinking only...

    bamos @TheoGB | 19 Apr '06, 13:40 | X
    - No. Adie pointed out it hasn't been for some time
      
      and they have now actually changed the front so it's more obviously. Check the Wetherspoons website and you'll see...
      
      TheoGB @bamos | 19 Apr '06, 13:51 | X
      - they've also changed its name
        
        it's a FAKE WETHERSPOONS.

looks like i'm WORKING at the thing and by 'working' i really mean 'standing by a door for an hour or so looking grumpy'. so i'll be stuck to the purple turtle for a while. i think 'switches' are playing there. i have literally no idea who else.

        it's not "petulance"
        
        as i said, it's just VERY VERY BORING. you made one joke, and you keep making it over and over. dull dull dull.
