Panic on Wednesday

[juliet]

So. Wednesday. Panic, in Oxford. So far AFAIK we have j4, lnr, ewx, daneel_olivaw & hoiho coming from Cambridge, & me, Pete, kitty_goth, marnameow, sbp, & wintrmute from London. If anyone's not coming now, or if anyone else fancies coming along, let me know.

Cambridge-folk: sort things out amongst yourselves, give me a ring when you get to Ox, I reckon.

London-folk: we need to get the Oxford Tube (coach), which goes from Victoria (or Marble Arch or Notting Hill or Shepherds Bush if any of those are easier). It'll cost a tenner (7.50 if you have a YP railcard), & takes about an hr & a half. What time can people make? Early = better as we need to find FOOD once we get to Ox.

Also: I have got a DJ set, so any requests will be carefully considered.

This really is neither sensible nor, I think, possible. No. Really. Not.

GO ON. Also, if you do, can you lend my friend Elaine crashspace? I'm trying to convince her to come up & she has a meeting in Ox the next day, so...

What time is early?

You make the details and I shall agree and do what you say. I'm sure it's easiest that way....

[willjsm.livejournal.com]

what time's your set? cos, if its like 10 or 10.30, that's cool. but, um, 11 would be more difficult.

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

This would be an absurdity. I have not only WORK on Wednesday and Thursday, including important meetings on Thursday morning, but also a free dinner on Thursday evening courtesy of the Other Council.

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

Although my room is not locked, so if you want crash space and don't mind like, the utter utter mess, just ask Dan.

[hoiho.livejournal.com]

GO on - you know you want to...

[juliet]

But a *fun* absurdity! It's fine, you just have to drive there & not drink. *I* have work the next day, as well. goongoongoon

[juliet]

Normally I'd aim to be at Victoria around 6. But I am aware that you (& likely others coming) might have trouble being that early. 7 might be a better bet? If we're much later than that we'll have difficulty getting food in time, I think.

[juliet]

I asked for 11, I'm afraid. But that hasn't been confirmed yet & likely won't be till Wednesday morning, unless the new presidents have some kind of efficiency-rush. But I'll be there from shortly after 10, so you can always come along then!

Sean will probably struggle for six as well - I think seven should be do-able. Sean? What do you think?

Are they once-an-hour buses?

[juliet]

No, once every 10min at that time of day, I think. (might be every 15min).

They're once an hour by the time the club shuts, but it finishes at 2 & the bus is due 2.15 at the bus-stop 2min walk away.

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

That's a bit more manageable. So if we arrange for the 7pm bus, it's not the end of the world if we're a few minutes late because tubes hate us.

Am pondering whether or not to wear my stompy boots, because I'd need to wear them into work. Hrrrm.

[juliet]

That sounds sensible.

SO: anyone want to meet me at Victoria for a pint at 6.30 or thereabouts? Since I won't be able to stay in work past 6, & it's not going to be worth the kerfuffle of going home betweentimes.

Hello. I'd be up for FOOD and/or pub pre-panic.
And post-food panic, obviously. :)

[juliet]

Do you want to tell me your mobile number, & I'll text you or whatever when we get in? (email it me at juliet@earth.li if you prefer that to public comment)

[karen2205]

John, you sound like me - go do the absurd thing, you're only young once - what's a night without much sleep in the overall scheme of things? I'm sure you'll still be going strong at Thursday's dinner - and even if you're not, at least you won't have to cook for yourself. Go To Panic.

[beingjdc.livejournal.com]

I don't think you are quite understanding. A night without sleep is not the worst thing in the world, though people may notice at Important Meetings. However, I have already done this thing once in the last week, to go to Boutique. Also, driving along the motorway at 2am on no sleep is not my favourite thing, and Thursday evening will require being nice and polite to people, which I am bad at at the best of times.

Cambridge-folk: sort things out amongst yourselves, give me a ring when you get to Ox, I reckon.

Will do. Dunno if we'll arrive in time for food: some of us will be working til at least 5:30 or 6 and it's a fairly long drive, so we might decide to stop and eat en route instead or something.

I wanna be sedated!

so any requests will be carefully considered

R.r.r.r.RAMONES!

Hoiho, let's go Hoiho, let's go
Hoiho, let's go Hoiho, let's go
They're forming in straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop

I suspect the 7pm bus is a more likely thing for me too..

Panicness!

[glamwhorebunni.livejournal.com]

Hurrah!
Mini-Pete the Bunni will be there, and going insane as normal.
Could I request Helen Love? Don't care which one :)

Re: Panicness!

[juliet]

Hey, you will finally meet Pete, & the WORLD will EXPLODE. Cool.

I think we can probably manage a little HL, yes...
