Hyper-geek get-together

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:21

Hello, nerds!

Mrs Grim... is taking the Grimlet away for a weekend (not sure which one yet). Would anyone be interesting in watching all of Firefly in one day? This will obviously involve beer, food and floor space to sleep on if necessary, all of which I will provide.

We could play games on the Sunday, or something.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:22

Is transport included?

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:23

Hmm. I could probably be convinced to go halves if costs were the only reason you couldn't make it.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:25

Where do you live Zardoz?

I might well be up for that.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:26

*tempted*

Chances are it'll be a weekend where I can't make it, as I'm kinda busy this year. I might get the box set or something if it's cheap though. Mebbe.

Appreciating that I am not entirely hardcore Beex-cleek Bezzie... but I could well be up for this also.

Not really the cost, I just want to get picked up and dropped off.

I take it it's easy to get to you by train though?

This end is easy, because it's London. Your end? Dunno. Have they laid the rails up there yet?

You have attended at least two meets. That's moderatecore at worst.

Well there you go then. You can ride my mum all the way to London.

Wait...

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:33

I normally get off at Bristols.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:35

Mebbe. I'm pretty booked up until end of Nov/beginning of Dec, but if it's a free weekend, then why not?

Because Craster might be there. And it will probably be around that time, to be honest.

Yeah. We're walkable from the nearest tube station, and there's a bus too.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 16:44

If myp's going and driving he can pick me up on the way through

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38597

what's firefly? Can we do it in manchester? I'm not watching 14 episodes.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11862

Sounds good fun to me! Obviously date depending.

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Sep 02, 2009 9:25

Maybe, if I'm invited.

Myp can pick me up on his way through.

I can confirm this. Although you will find people who look like they want to mug you*.

* - Offer of mugging not available to people Grim... sized.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Sep 03, 2009 8:12

If Malc can pick me up on the way through, I'm in.

I thought you'd left?

TheAlbin0Kid · **Posted:** Fri Sep 04, 2009 14:32

If Dimrill can pick Malc up, then I can probably squeeze myp in.

And not for the first time, I'd imagine.

Is this still likely to happen? I may, may, be able to get myself to London.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Sep 14, 2009 14:47

It all depends on the date for me, and Grim...'s on holiday this week.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Is the other Beex thing not until February now?

Mr Chris is missing us. :kiss:

Sad but true

I feel I need some face time to be properly cleeked up. It's not enough to have been a mod these days - you need to have rubbed yourself on a photo of Zardoz strapped to a Beexer's groin. So I'm told.

myp · **Posted:** Mon Sep 14, 2009 14:55

Come to Nottingham and we'll have an uber-cleek meet of just the two of us.

kalmar came to Notts at the weekend and didn't tell me. :'(

Only if you stand the 2 litres of Strongbow.

Which one, Broadmarsh or Victoria? I don't want to stand around on my own looking like a berk.

DocG comes to London all the fucking time and the first I find out about it is when he emails me pictures!

Did you offer every poster on here a free lunch if they could find you?

I was in the French cafe near Embankment tube station BTW.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Mon Sep 14, 2009 17:49

Grim...

Where abouts do you live in London? I reckon I could Megabus it down. Of course, it'd have to be one of my rare free weekends, so might be a few weeks before I do it, as I have to fit in a family visit on one of them. I am up for this however, I could swing round my mate Jon's as well. Can't remember if he's a Firefly fan or not, but I believe he is.

Would anyone other than myself have recognised you though?

I wouldn't mind a hyper-geek get-together. Time dependent.

Chinny, why won't you meet us? We're only a bit strange (which is less strange than most people).

i reckon chinny knows us all already, that's why s/he doesn't reveal him/herself

Presumably because he's had a full report on Dave, Grim..., Craster and myself from Mrs Chinny.

Busy night, that night.
