that puts you not incredibly close to the FAP but at least you're on the right tube line! (i.e. the Northern Line, i.e. the Black One; just remember to travel down via Charing Cross, not Bank (the Northern Line splits in two for awhile, before joining back up with itself))

time: 6:00?

Kentish Town is in the borough of Camden which is north of Proper Central London - it's on one branch of the Northern Line, just up from Camden Town. If you were going to there from the Beggars' offices you'd probably be required to change at Waterloo anyway.

Am considering now leaving work early Thursday and coming down for a bit of StencFAP action depending on where people will be and at what time. I have to get the train from KX at 9pm

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 15:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I may be going on slides at the Tate Modern that afternoon so can be in the pub from whenever people are likely to get there.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Argh, I've spent so long thinking that I *wouldn't* be going, and making alternate plans, that I now have no idea how I'm going to fit everything in!

I also planned to spend this weekend preparing the house for my mum's visit the week after!

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

ah okay i think waterloo might be the best idea, then. 6 or 7? which pub? i think some beggars people + bands might stop by as well.

anybody going to the 6 organs of admittance show on wednesday at cargo?

wait kate so now you're going to atp? cool!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no one is doing anything on Wednesday except seeing SHimura Curves at the Social! ::stamps feet::

I don't know yet. Dare doesn't know if they are leaving for Minehead on Thursday or Friday. If it's Thursday, I may not be able to go, due to getting time off work. Which means that I would come to your FAP. If they go down Thursday evening, or Friday, I'll be going down with them.

Ha ha, we won't be at the holiday camp, we'd be at some posh hotel, which might be missing the point a bit. But still. I'm not going to say no to free tickets and a ride down on the tourbus!

I haven't seen Dare in AAAGES. Hanging out with her is clearly WAAAAAAYYYYY more important than work, tho. ;-)

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm anticipating there being too many names to remember, already.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i didn't realize you had a show wednesday, kate! where is it at? maybe, depending, i can make both. not sure. i think 6oa kinda depends on whether i can get in touch with ben in time to get in on the list.

looks like i'm not staying at the holiday camp, but at a b&b nearby with friends, at something like $50 a night (which don't hurt a bit).

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

How easy is it to get KX->Waterloo at 6pm ish? Is it going to be mad on the tube?

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Stence, I've told you, like, three times already on various threads that we have a show on Wednesday!

At the Social (Little Portland Street). Which kinda sucks as a venue, but it's really central, and I think the show is free.

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Too many subjects for one thread type meltdown.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Kings X to Waterloo = the Northern Line which is always shit as a tube line anyway. But it shouldn't be too bad, and it gets better slightly after rush hour so by 6 it might be doable.

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Actuyally, no, wrong branch, innit? I don't know NOrf London!

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't read other london threads, kate!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Can anyone help confirm who ATP people are? This is getting terribly confusing, and it'd help me to remember who's who if I find out before I arrive.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah it's on the Northern Line--TFL sez 15 minutes but then again, that's what TFL say

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

god i can't even begin to describe how jealous i am of that lineup.

― ian (orion), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:33 (seventeen years ago) link

On this VERY thread, Stence:

Dare is coming, and continuing her tour of London's poshest hotels, but she still doesn't know her schedule yet. Repeat, the joys on offer are:
6th December: Shimura Curves/Pamphlet at the Social
7th: StenceFAP, location unknown as yet
8th: Poptimism, Union Tavern
9th: The Lugubrious Gooblar at RoTa, Notting Hell

I'm having watercooler flashbacks.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Stence, Kentish Town is central enough for standard going-out needs, don't listen to these south london mentals. Also it's a really nice area, I think (mind you i have lived round there all my life).

kings x and waterloo are on diff nline branches, yes: quickest option by tube is probably piccadilly line to leicester square, then northern line to waterloo. but it'll be pretty packed at 6ish, still.

― cis boom bah (cis), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

i hadn't checked the thread in a couple days since some jerk took the hstencil log-in for the sandbox, and i couldn't post!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

atp roll call:

mr. and mrs. ailsa_xx
mr. and mrs. aldo cowpat
ward fowler
maybe kate masonic boom
hstencil
teh_kit
Andrew Farrell
lixi
maybe Ed?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think I know a couple of those... ward fowler and lixi. Is that my crap brain being crap, or have I lost track of numerous old logins, etc?

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

oh, also, upthread request for spare w33|) has been noted. no promises, but i'll do what i can.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm not sure i'd know how to tell you whom you've met or not. i believe ward lives in glasgow, so maybe that's why his name is not familiar to you.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed is going camping and making turkey, ham cranberry sauce and stuffing lasagna.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, you all have to put money on me in the diskant.net pie-eating contest @ ATP.

― teh_kit (g-kit), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

whoa, nice ed.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm coming to the pub though.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 December 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

have we decided on a pub yet?

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, The kings arms

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I could very well make this for a quick drink or two

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

the king's arms works for me.

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Ward Fowler = Andrew L1ttlef1eld innit?

I might FAP on Friday. Waterloo is good for me.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

we're not fapping on friday, dude!

― Tyrone Slothrop (Tyrone Slothrop), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ward Fowler = Andrew L, old-skool ILX geezer turned noise dude (actually lives in London unless he's moved recently).

Lixi = longtime ILX poster Alix, who has, erm, stopped posting.

(xpost - haha, I'll change the subject line)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, yes. Bollocks. Maybe poptimism then.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

the kings arms is less than 20 minutes' train journey from my house. dare i risk a maiden fap?

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Monday, 4 December 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i was totally going to invite you for a fap the other week but ilx went down

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Andrew L Ward Fowler has joined the mass emigration northwards and now lives round the corner from Madchen.

Lixi = one of the first people from here I met, and erstwhile chalet-mate of mine from Bowlie. She's very nice.

I have both their phone numbers for meeting up purposes.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Louis, FAPs south of the river occur about once a year, you should come for that alone.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:08 (seventeen years ago) link

If y'all are lucky I'll bring some more antibiotics to mix with my drinking again

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

xxxpost: definitely next term, we should arrange something, get a few midlands ILXors involved as well (if there are any)...

if as you claim you live near the museum of technology, it'll be a fair trek to get up around there! shall have to start training. ;-)

yay for saaf laandan! saaf east laandan is clearly the next frontier, however. :-D

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

seriously, it's like ten minutes walk along the river to the centre of town...

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

we did south east london once

― Ed (dali), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I was supervised in Chesterton last year. Took half an hour. :P

Where in SE London? LEWISHAM????

― Louis Jagger (Scourage), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't live in chesterton, though!

― tissp! (tissp!), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:18 (seventeen years ago) link

We FAPed in Greenwich the other week! Mind you, it was part of a rolling walk.

― masonic boom (kate), Monday, 4 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

just by borough tube, it was attended by 4 people.

― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 28 November 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link

ha! That was never five years ago, was it? Blimey.

― ailsa, Monday, 28 November 2011 14:06 (twelve years ago) link
