FAP London

7th is best, but could do Friday for a bit.

not to jump confusingly in ahead of this but geeta dayal is calling for a nice big london birthday celebration gathering for her eve of fri 15 nov (location tbd)

come one come all :) but she specifically mentioned you xyzzzz__ so be there if possible!

Oh cool, yes do inform of location and I shall be there :)

I will be at the mtn gts show on the 15th!!

So what’s the plan then? When are you free ET?

I'm going to be at The Raincoats gig on the 10th, but have most other nights (8, 9, 11) free. Heading up north after that and won't be back in London until the 21st.

Actually could do any of those though 8th is best

There's a pretty good chance I'm going to go to this Graham Duff and Adam Curtis talk on the 8th. Perhaps the 9th?

any ideas for a good geetaFAP locale this friday?

(large-ish rather than small, centralish rather than hackneyside)

*takes out year-long hourglass, turns it over*

Lexington obvs!

geeta has opted for the racketeer nr kings X, from 6

Racketeer is a good choice. I have never been to a FAP but aspire to do so within my earthly existence.

See you then!!

(Elvis - sorry I couldn't get to arrange anything, weekend filled up with duty all of a sudden)

I'm going to try to make it to the Racketeer in between engagements this evening, I'm not sure whether it will be possible.

Anyone fancying a hang-out on Sunday afternoon might note that we're convening a rare Hangover Lounge on Sunday at the Pembury Tavern in Hackney, all welcome, no action expected apart from some ale soaked relaxing.

bit of a step for me

Yes, I'm going to a birthday thing for someone in the work tonight - also in Kings Cross, coincidentally - so unlikely to show.

Another US ilxor is in London tonight, playing a virtually sold-out Shepherd's Bush Empire lol

I am working until evening and unlikely to show for anything :( unless really persuaded. & tt is seeing Dashboard Confessional ffs

COME ON PEOPLE

to be clear i'm coming to this as shd everyone, my joke abt the distance to the pembury may have landed wrong

OK! See all you tankies, trots and lefty scum later!

look out for my gold trot hat

This additional US ILXOR will be seeing aforementioned other US ILXOR at said gig and is super excited tho sad to miss FAP.

"I'm going to try to make it to the Racketeer in between engagements this evening, I'm not sure whether it will be possible."

Try hard. We're building socialism here.

Hacking the WiFi in this place

There by 8.

pre-Christmas?

Could happen

You've never attended one right? What's a good day for you?

oh we can do a pre-christmas one surely. be good to see you seandalai.

Early next week?

I'd be up for that. Would do us all some good maybe, considering current events.

Can’t do but I will come to one eventually, promise I am better company irl than on ilx

Surely this is needed now more than ever.

i'll be central for an early finish pint if anyone's interested.

Up for a drink too!

Black Eye Friday

if it's just me and thee, comrade, then i'd suggest Herne Hill, as it's likely to be a bit quieter. i've got a final meeting now, which I'm going to do down the pub, and then i'll be winging my way central/Herne Hill-wards, for about four.

👍

Wait, is this ILX FAP TONIGHT ??

oh not really, i just fancied an early doors post work pre christmas pint and was angling to see who was around! i don’t want to be out all evening, especially after the christmas party last night. i feel slightly dire.

Please see ILB, fap on 6th Feb for those who want to.

Tonight, see ILB for details

Haha I note that the details available on ILB are "usual place" and no time mentioned.

Haha sorry to anyone who was thinking about this will update now

Just in case, "usual place" is the Royal Oak, Nebraska St SE1 (near Borough tube station) and I'll be there by 6, and everyone's welcome.

i'm aiming for 6ish also, newfangled absence of a direct bus permitting >:(

We're doing a little launch for the Mary Butts book I've done (and which some of you have seen) - it's a week today, Thursday 27th at the bookartsbookshop from 6.30 to 8 or so, likely pub after. It'd be lovely to see all or any of you.

Details of the project: https://thehalfpintpress.wordpress.com/imaginary-letters-by-mary-butts/ - this will be on show in the windows of the bookshop for most of March if you're passing and want a look.

Bah, I think I'm booked on the day, but I pass by it all the time next to the Kieran Doherty mural on my way home, so I'll be sure to come by.

geeta is in london Sept 21-22 and again Sept 26-Oct 4, for those who want to hang out with her

geeta is in town NOW my dudes

we are thinking of a combined ilx/freaky trigger meet at the sutton arms on friday if any local ilxors are interested
