TRIGGERFEST

King of Corsica: 2 doors up from Sister Ray records on Berwick Street, Soho

Map here. Nearest tubes: Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road.

How will Trig Brother work? What will the Restaurant on Friday be?

Does it have to be called Trig Brother? I mean, Frig Brother has a much nicer ring to it.

Restaurant on Friday - up to Ned and Jane. Will liase.

The rules for TB/FB are a bit opaque but it will all be fun and fair- minded.

Frig Brother -- *WELL* ;-)

At this point Kate the Saint has suggested a kick-ass veg curry place in Tooting for Friday night, so that is where Food will be Had. Oh yes. Beyond that will be further craziness, of course, but that is at least where I was planning on starting the evening.

There's also something vaguely in the works for Sunday in terms of a winddown, but we'll see...

Anyway, more posted tomorrow as things assemble themselves.

Tooting to Berwick St = very long journey. Curry houses near Euston to Berwick St = not very long journey.

Cafe Naz. Brick Lane. THE BEST.

Not particularly near anyones manor, but hey.

Just thought I'd say. Care to start a curry thread for me tomorrow anyone? I be goin' home.

VITAL TRIGGERFEST ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Pub Endeavour on the Saturday will be the legendary Blue Posts Pub Crawl. We will kick off in the Blue Posts on Newman Street, which will also be our final destination. We'll be there from 2 and the game will begin at 3 - if you're a London-based ILM/E-er then you might well be bugged about turning up! It will be a marvellous day out that you won't soon forget.

Seeing as my sista's Ka has likely died, I may well not be going up-country to cheer my aged foax after all, but kicking around the West End like a beezer. So how does one discover the actual names in order of the legendary Blue Posts Pub Crawl? Or does one rely on legend?

For the sake of not kick-starting the last days I cannot do all ten pubs, obviously. Or seven, or four.

The Legendary Blue Posts pub crawl boasts particularly easy-to- remember pub names.

1. The Blue Posts. 2. The Blue Posts. 3. The Blue Posts. 4. The Blue Posts. 5. The Blue Posts.

For the sake of our sanity and feet, we're only going to 5 pubs and evicting 2 per pub.

The BPs we'll be starting in is on Newman Street, up behind the Plaza on Oxford Street. I'll post map details tomorrow when I have a faster link!

Proposed timetable:

Blue Posts Newman Street: 2-3

(on the corner of Eastcastle St, behind the Plaza on Oxford St)

Blue Posts Bennet Street: 3-4

(Just off St James Street, near Piccadilly)

Blue Posts Rupert Street: 4-5

(Off Shaftesbury Avenue)

Blue Posts Kingly Street: 5-6.15

(Parallel to Regent Street)

Blue Posts Berwick Street: 6.15-7.30

(About halfway down Berwick Street)

Blue Posts Newman Street: 7.30 on

In addition to this there will be people at the BP Newman Street from 4 onwards.

Where are all these places? Here is a map which has the whole area - they are all very close to one another.

Any other info needed?

did we ever find out why there are so many blue posts?

No, because we never finished the pub crawl.

i'm coming but not till later. (Blue Posts Newman Street: 7.30 on).

It being Friday afternoon the lines between fact and fiction are blurring, but I thought Blue Posts was some kind of ancient hunting boundary thing (as Soho is so named after some hunting cry). Is all this total legend / Pete Baran lies / true?

Is the first Blue Posts the same one we went to for the April (wasn't it?) pub meet?
