I know this is a work night but hopefully a few of you will be able to make it for a few drinks ... if you can make it let me know here or drop me a line silky@brianlumley.com

Cheers All!

[Lady Louise]

DC and I would love to have been able to make it.
Alas we will no longer be in London but enjoying ourselves in sunny Newcastle.

Hope you all have a great time.

LL

[Goth Girl]

Should be OK for me.

I finish work in north London at 5pm, so if anyone wants to meet in town before heading up to the signing, send me an email or a text message. grin.gif

[The Bloody Lady]

alas!, too far away for moi, i'd love to go!!!

if it was a friday i'd have had a shot!

:(

[topol_sheap]

I'll be there - obviously smile.gif will I be able to get a copy there??? and do you know if any other authors will be there? you know, just in case I have something that wants signing.

[Silky]

I've updated the information above so every thing you need to know will now be there. ;)

[Sophie]

I might be able to make it down for the day! I'll know nearer the time. I wouldn't mind a day trip to London.

Sophie

[Silky]

It will be nice to see anyone who can make it. Nick Austin and Keith Grant-Evans will be there as well.

[Eeyore Skullguise]

Well obviously I won't be able to make it. But I hope everyone has a great time. ;)

[Red Willow]

it's worth a try, have to see though cos i'd probly have to make school again the next day. will investigate...

[Lagula Longarm]

Me and mazrah Should be able to make this. GG we will give you a call in the next week or so.

[Silver]

As much as I'd love to go I won't be able to either but enjoy yourselves all of you who can!

[DC 1]

Oh dear. I find myself being drawn to the capital already. We only just left there 2 weeks ago and as we are on a permanent holiday at the moment, we will be there (Hopefully).

[topol_sheap]

hey man I hope you can both make it smile.gif

[Goth Girl]

Does anyone want to meet up before the signing for a pint and a bite to eat?

Saves me having to go all the way home then back out into town again!

[topol_sheap]

I could be persuaded to do this smile.gif I could even meet you on the way down at Archway, if you like?

[Lupa the Ancient]

Tried to get some time off work for this .. to no avail!! Ah well hope you have a good time you guys.... anyone know when this books due for publication?

[Goth Girl]

Tops, sounds good to me... just let me know what time... I finish at 5pm but that's pretty flexible.

Lupa... can't you throw a sickie? smile.gif

[topol_sheap]

yeah, I can finish at 5 at a push, so I could meet you at archway at about 5.15... sound good?

otherwise, it'll be 5.45.....

[Sophie]

Have fun people, please be all healthy and happy for me. I've got the flu again.. :(

Sophie

[Silver]

Well as I've already said I won't be able to go but if anyone is thinking about it and hasn't made up their mind yet I say go, I have the old version of this book and it's great,the new one sounds even better though with all the extras you'll be getting

[Goth Girl]

Tops, 5:15pm sounds fine!

[Lagula Longarm]

Okay it looks like me and mazrah will be going, so we will meet you guys for a drink and bite to eat smile.gif

just tell us where to meet and we will be there.

[Silky]

Yep, it's the actual launch so you'll be able to buy a book in situ, hence you only have to pay £1.00 entrance fee rather than £2.50.

See you all there!

[topol_sheap]

OK 5.15 it is then:)

[Goth Girl]

How about meeting at the Ben Crouch? If Tom and I are at Archway at 5:15, then we should be there about 5:45.

Have you guys been to the Ben Crouch Tavern before? The Eerie pub off Oxford Street closer to the Tottenham Court Road end...

[Lagula Longarm]

We have been in there, but it was a long time ago, so we would appreciate directions smile.gif
If memory serves me right you go down Oxford street and it's on a side road on the right ?

[topol_sheap]

err... if you're walking down from tottenham court road, walk past the Plaza, and it's on the road immediately on your righ-hand-side. walk up here for a minute or 2 (so you're walking alongside the plaza), and it's on the left hand side of the road. You can't miss it.

I can't remember the name of the road, but so you don't get lost it's also the road just before HMV (if you are walking from totenham cout road)

HTH

Tops

[Goth Girl]

I think it's Wells Road... it's on the directly opposite side to Berwick Street, across Oxford Street.

[Rixy]

It's 77a Wells Street. It's about the only thing I remember from last time :)

[Lagula Longarm]

I'm pretty sure I know where it is, so we will see you there at 5.45ish smile.gif

[topol_sheap]

Rixy,

Does that mean you might make an appearance?

Tops..

[Rixy]

I'd love to go but I've got the movers in on Frday as I'm puting all my stuff into storage while my house is gutted and basically re-built.

I'm a bit more flexible in my work this year so I should be able to make any drink up's in London.

And make sure your sitting down for this one....I'm all booked up for KeoghCon!!! I will actually be there in the flesh, barring any acts of God or Gods!

Enjoy yourselves on Thusday.

[Lupa the Ancient]

Did y'all have a good time guys??

[topol_sheap]

might have done grin.gif Yeah it was great... I had more than I planned to drink, but it was a great night, of which I think I spent a good portion of chatting to the great Nick Austin - great bloke!

Obviously it was great to speak with Brian and Silky, although I would have liked more time, but you can't have it all, now can you?

Oh, and it was obviously good to see all the Lumlians that attended (Debs, Keith, Sarah, Dean, Mandy, Charlotte, Gareth and KGE)...

Once again way too short, but better than nothing smile.gif

Loadsa fun! Brian and Silky... always a pleasure. And we got to see Deano and Mazrah's wedding snaps too, so beautiful.

Was fun meeting a couple of the other authors present too, I'm still excited about the discussion I had with Tanith Lee (and thank you Brian for the advice today... I will be doing that on Monday!).

Can't leave it til KCIV for the next meeting, will have to arrange something soon-ish
