Sandbox thread for Ned's and B.L.A.M.'s London appearance 3/3 to 3/10

As we were all talking, it turned out to our surprise that B.L.A.M. and his wife are going to be in London almost at the same time my friend Hina and I are -- they'll be arriving on Saturday March 3, we arrive on Sunday March 4th -- and we'll all be leaving on Saturday March 10.

So needless to say we talked about ideas for FAPs and more besides given our various schedules. Right now the two things I'm thinking of are these:

Thursday the 8th -- Ed and I had already talked about an evening of cooking and eating in; he'll have to say how many people his place can hold but let's see if we can plan something around this!

Friday the 9th -- the end of week dinner out/FAP/whatever to wrap things up! As Matt and Evan had been raving about the Tayyab Kebab House I was thinking that could be good; however, if we're going to be a large party of folks, would that be the best spot? B.L.A.M. notes he and his wife could only make dinner since they'll have to leave very early on the 10th.

Other stuff can be on the cards as desired, of course, as we all have our own schedules and plans; in my case I'll be busy with shows on Monday and Wednesday and I've set Tuesday aside to meet up with some other folks, but there's lunches or early evening get-togethers or whatever. I know B.L.A.M. said he wanted to spend a day just in a pub somewhere relaxing and doing nothing given he'll have just come off taking the bar exam again, which strikes me as a noble goal. He's also mentioned going to the British Museum, which I wouldn't mind doing again myself; right now I'd like to spend one afternoon in the Tate Modern, where I haven't been in seven years.

Anyway, talk/suggestions/whatever here and we'll revive the ILX thread as needed. See everyone in a couple of weeks!
