London ILB - FAP?

Hi all, 'nother fap for autumn? Around for the next couple of Thursdays (then only from mid-Nov onwards as I am out of the country).

on for next thursday, but not the one after

In glasgow this Thursday, Thursdays after that shd be free tho.

Two FAPs in a row then for me hooray :)

I'll be @ Royal Oak reading away - might see you both or anybody else - in the eve sometime, usually from 7-8 onwards.

won't be able to make this thursday now, though I would like to catch up & talk platonov etc xyzzz - should we try for something a little larger mid-november? Be feeling the cold by then, royal oak will warm us up well.

Indeed - mid-Nov is good.

Sounds good. Will also put some Platonov under my belt.

Back now so can do this coming Thurs.

this thurs not looking good for me, nor the two after that.

:-(

Can do it… I think… but shall we hold off for ledge, early december maybe?

Yes we'll do that.

V kind. Will hold off the first two Thursdays against all comers.

can't do the 12th, but if we can all do the 5th that'd be great.

Still on for the 5th?

Good for me.

Great, see you then.

I'm there like dan dare.

I'll be along, but maybe only for a drink or two – I'm just shaking a nasty cold, don't want to undo my days of healthy living. But definitely along.

I'll be making the trip, despite being barely literate, what time is kick-off? Don't want to get too bladdered though.

I was pretty bladdered last night so will be erring on the abstemious side of things. I can prob make it for 6 or any time thereafter.

Around 6pm for me too.

Not me tonight, will try to get to the next one.

I'll try - tho work is going to keep me late tonight, so cd be difficult.

I think I'll be towards seven.

that was great - arrived late, but militant Marxist monks, london boundary variations, subtitle error song lyrics, single sex v co-ed magic schools, Cornelius Cardew, Nigel Kneale etc (loads of other stuff as well) made it worthwhile. great to see everyone, esp gravel puzzleworth - a new face in hell - amongst welcome others. v v enjoyable.

Suffering this morning. I blame Thatchers.

Woof I hope you're feeling better. tx for turning up at all in the first place.

Reading about Rosicrucianism this morning.

no, really annoyed a) to have been sick and b) to have miscalculated my sickness so that I thought I could socialise. It looked like fun! Conversation sounds A1, just what I would have wanted. But I did make the right decision - on the upward slope now, would be GOING DOWN if I'd lived it up last night.

Joining the Rosicrucians this morning. Apologies for bailing earliest even though I have the least excuse. Thx to TomD for the new display name.

So you took Leonard Cohen's advice then?

"if you don't become the ocean
you'll be seasick
every day"?

"Why don't you join the Rosicrucians,
they can give you back your hope"

This was a very good time - thanks to all for having me! V. exciting to put faces to famous names, see pictures of things, confirm universal applicability of 'prog' as adjective.

The Invisible College of the Rose Cross Fraternity (from the Speculum Sophicum Rhodo-Stauroticum)

Looks pretty visible to me.

^^^^very very visible in San Jose, as discussed at FAP and none of you believed me!

But then again, Rosicrucians in California don't really seem to do much except run esoteric bookshops and Egyptian Museums.

p.s. Thank you for being so welcoming to this Ghost of FAPs Past; I had been worried that it would have been impolitic to turn up, but ended up having a brilliant time, would FAP again etc.

Obviously I wasn't there, and maybe the conversation took this in, but there are opportunities to Rosicruce closer to home if you want, apparently: http://transpont.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/peckham-rosicrucians.html

I was unaware of this last FAP but I remembered recently that this FAP thing used to happen so I suggest a FAP.

I was just thinking that we should have another FAP again soon!

Lets go for mid-march?

I have no life; I will FAP whenever (FAP forever) but I'm always in town on Thursdays so that would be best?

yes, this sounds good to me. Mid-March works, Thursdays generally good.

Lets go for Thurs 13th March at the same place and then various people (includes me) can confirm nearer the time.

yep, full-on busy atm, but things shd settle down soon.

Yay! Sounds good. Will pencil it in. Hope to see you all there. With dolmens on.

OK people I will see you at that pub for that FAP if possible

Still good for this next thurs.

Tim if you are reading - are you coming?

I will come, and if I successfully manage to contain my surliness you can tell me all about Sas Bo Bip.
