ysbreker Posted October 1, 2009 Right. I'm off to London tomorrow. If anyone wants to meet before October 31st. Let Marek know. I'm staying at his place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F4T C4T Posted October 2, 2009 I've not been involved in the forums that long but I'll be at the Eurogamer Expo on the 30th (the Friday) and would be well up for meeting some fellow Thumbs. I don't have any suggestions or preference of a meeting point though as my knowledge of London is pretty non-existant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted October 3, 2009 It seems that I too will be at Eurogamer, but it seems that there are two of them so… What the fuck does that mean ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 3, 2009 It means that it'll be in Leeds on Oct 27th and 28th, and in London on the 30th and 31st. I'll be at both for all four days since I'm working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted October 3, 2009 Fuck, just realised the 30th was a friday, I thought it was in my reading week also, damn. Either way I'm in leeds on the wednesday and maybe london on the saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 7, 2009 This is what we're doing on the Friday: http://pixel-lab.co.uk/indiegamesarcade/2009/10/show-and-yell/ It'll be close to the expo and Brick Lane. There's only so much space, but shoot me a PM if you'd like to come along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevsky Posted October 7, 2009 So it's definitely the Friday? I'll book my ticket, then. A friend of mine is coming down to stare, doe-eyed at the people in the careers-fair, so I'll be with him, while trying to get some stone-cold scoops. I'm also going to a screening of Blue Velvet at the Tate in the evening, but I'm sure I'll be able to work some Thumb action in. (My Saturday, however, is mostly free, so if there's any residual Thumb event, then I might be able to go to that, too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Posted October 7, 2009 So it's definitely the Friday? Wait, it is? I can probably make it into London for Friday evening, but I won't be able to go to the expo itself until Saturday. I guess that doesn't really matter, unless somebody wanted to meet up during the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted October 8, 2009 For once, I have not left something to the last minute and I booked my hotel for the friday a few blocks away from the fest. I think Saturday I'll be trying to mooch a couch off of someone. But that means that I'll be there 95% confirmed now. OssK, when you heading down? Maybe we can take the same train*. * assuming that's how you're getting there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Rebo Posted October 8, 2009 Sweet, I'll probably go Firday then as it seems like that's when most of you are? I'll be coming in from Oxford. Anyone else from the area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted October 8, 2009 I have no idea what's happening... (But I do live in London and should be available for any kind of meet up.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 9, 2009 I still have no idea what else is going on wrt thumbs meet that night, and I'm likely to be doing something with publishers meeting indie developers from 18:00 - 20:00. The indie event I linked above is something I've been planning with Eurogamer for a while though. As I said, any thumbs are welcome to come down, but there's only so much space there so PM me if you'd like to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted October 9, 2009 (My Saturday, however, is mostly free, so if there's any residual Thumb event, then I might be able to go to that, too) I may well be up for that, seeing as I cannot do the friday, with both a day full of lectures and a halloween party at night. Plus a friend is going on the saturday too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F4T C4T Posted October 9, 2009 Max Rebo, I'm in Oxford. I'll probably be heading in by train but I haven't really sorted out any timing or anything yet. I'm meeting a friend who'll already be there so it largely depends on that. If our plans match up at all though, I'll head into London with you. Also it would be good to meet a fellow Oxford gamer! I have found them in short supply since moving here 3 years ago. I am somewhat of a hermit though. Nachimir, I'm interested. I'll PM you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted October 10, 2009 Nachimir, I registered online for that event. I'm around all Friday evening from 1730, including Nachimir's thing, then Saturday daytime until about 4. (I'm also generally around in the evenings, if anyone is in London and fancies a pint at any point.) Nachimir, would the main pub you're using a room in also be a good place for the Thumbs meet? If so, may I suggest Thumbs start meeting there from 6pm Friday? If not, can anyone recommend a nice pub round there, or find one on beerintheevening.com? Is 6pm too early for everyone?

James Posted October 10, 2009 Is 6pm too early for everyone? Unless I finish work early, it is for me. I would want to go home and drop my stuff off, which would be at about six, and allowing maybe half an hour to sort myself out and another to get into London, I'd be there at about seven. But I don't think we all need to turn up at once or anything, do we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 11, 2009 I updated the first post. Suggestions for location? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevsky Posted October 11, 2009 Right, well, I'm at the Blue Velvet screening from 6.30 onwards (until 8.30, I guess), so can't make something at 7pm. I'll be going to Nachimir's Show & Yell thingy after, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted October 11, 2009 talk about video games presumably. Oh Christ, can we not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted October 11, 2009 So, Friday is the definite meet day? Ossk and nowak when are you leaving ? I'm planning to take the Friday off and get a train around 9AM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted October 12, 2009 So, Friday is the definite meet day? Ossk and nowak when are you leaving ? I'm planning to take the Friday off and get a train around 9AM. That's probably my plan too. I want to be in London close to opening, at least. Though the hotel I have booked doesn't have check-in until 2:30 which is a little annoying, but at least it's not too far from the site. Tell me which train you're going on though. That's the only thing I haven't booked yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted October 18, 2009 Alors ? Vimes ? Quel train ? ^.^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted October 22, 2009 Right, so are we saying 1900ish at The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch St, EC3V 0DR? Nachimir, let us know if you want us to use a different pub nearby for any reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted October 22, 2009 Right, so are we saying 1900ish at The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch St, EC3V 0DR? Awesome sentence. Starts as human readable text and ends up as robot code. 10/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
