Does anyone fancy coming along to these things? I bought extra tickets on the basis I would try and persuade friends to come along with me. So, friends, what do you say?

• Saturday September 14th, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Live tour, at the Hackney Empire; most of the original surviving cast; it was awesome last year; I booked 4 and still have a spare ticket - £25. all gone
  
• Tuesday November 5th, Art Brut at the Village Underground in Shoreditch. Art Brut were difficult enough for me to explain in 2005, when I first saw them (three times in a year!): see their early singles Formed A Band and Emily Kane. I have a spare ticket.
  
• Sunday, November 17th. Toby Hadoke performs a double-bill of his two Doctor Who one-man shows "Moths Ate My Doctor Who Scarf" and "My Stepson Stole My Sonic Screwdriver" at the Garrick. I have a spare ticket. gone
  

Nobody likes Art Brut? What is wrong with you all? :-(

does anyone want to go see a film on Monday evening? I propose Vantage Point at the Odeon Holloway at 8pm.

planning to go up to leicester on 22nd/23rd, and return on 1st. this is a good chunk of time, and i hope to be able to meet up with people and have tea and get drunk as appropriate.

so there were people at weekend and now there aren't.

rather bored and alone now. ho-hum. does anyone want to go see X-Men 3 at the weekend (showings start Thursday)? or in fact do anything midweek?

so. the scone party is planned for Saturday 20th May. Sorry if I've set this so you can't make it, had to make decision one way or another. the plan is tea and scones in afternoon (it will be served at 4pm PRECISELY). people will be invited to bring jams, marmalades, honeys, if they feel like it. if you turn up around 3.30pm you even get to see me make the scones.

this will be optionally followed later in evening by apparently still unnamed event (see after setlist). Watching the 2nd part of the Doctor Who 2-parter might also feature. people will be welcome to drink the beer i keep winning, etc.

It should be good. I even bought a teapot and everything! Crash space available, let me know if you need it. I figure I can sleep 4-6 people in front room [ and i've had an offer of space from someone else too ]. See the directions.

back from mudmeet. rather entertaining. also knackering. finished The Catcher In The Rye up there, and then started Frankenstein on the way down. the rather dissimilar textual styles (although i note they are both written as first-person narratives/correspondence) have vaguely tempted me to rewrite Frankenstein in a more modern mode of speech. Robert Walton's first message to his sister could be thus:

Hi Maggie. Got into St Petersburg yesterday, very cold. Planning to discover Northwest Passage. Been whaling lots, even got hired as first mate. Off to Arkhangelsk in a couple of weeks! Will keep in touch. x Rob.

Except translate that to txt.

upcoming week currently rather quiet:

• Cafe Scientifique (urban foxes) on Tuesday.
• Zeitgeist II on Sunday.

you will note absence of any form of pub quiz. :( I'll be happy to do Thursday's again if other people go, though don't want to turn up there on my own.

Happy birthdays to doctor_tron and to William Shakespeare!

Myself and vjbseven are planning to see V for Vendetta at 3pm tomorrow.

There is still no sign of a MirrorMask showing around here. But the Phoenix hasn't released April film schedule. So there is hope.

right. tonights plan is to go and get drunk. we shall be starting at the Pump and Tap. join us if you will. text me if you want to find us.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Sunday anyone? For people unaware, it is another Burton/Depp film. Showings are 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, 7pm, 8pm, 9.45pm. Preferred times?

right, it looks like i shall be picnicing tomorrow. after this, me and qfyd and bx_83 are meeting at the pub next to the odeon around 4.30pm for the 6.30pm showing of Fantastic Four at the Odeon. Does anyone want to come?
