Since some folk are asking...
Nov. 14th, 2003 04:42 pmThe dinner went very well! My thanks to all who attended!
Some foolish souls turned up early - you know who you are,
collyer and
drplokta - to find the restaurant denying any knowledge of me or a party. But when I arrived in person, on the dot of 7:30 for once, all was resolved.
We had 21 in the end! John Hall had to leave early,
mr_tom and
sneerpout could not make it and
flickgc was so painfully stylishly late she didn't bother eating, but the rest of us did. There was a
drpete,
mmcpoland,
d_floorlandmine,
camies,
the_magician and
pickledginger - and quite a few who spurn LJ as an abomination, as, apparently, are all blogs. Their loss, eh?
Then most of us adjourned to a nearby hostelry whose name I cannot disclose, except for Pete & Moz, who went to the wrong pub. Francis WINOLJ and I drank their drinks for them.
Howard, Mike, Francis, Camilla TCH (who are all NOLJ) and I then went clubbing in the Metro Bar to an 80s retro night whose name I forget, which was, bizarrely, full of students. The beer was rubbish, though, and we didn't stop long. Finding flyers for discount entrance was easy - a trail of discarded ones led along Oxford Street...
