I'm heading to the UK this Friday (arriving on Saturday), and I'll be staying for a few days before hopping on my bus and heading back to good ole Germany. It's a wonderful opportunity for meeting some of the London area NSers, don't you think?

Anyone interested in getting a meeting going on? Schedule wise, this weekend is not so shiny. Does anyone have time during the week or the next weekend?

(And is anyone willing to risk letting me sleep on their floor from the 22nd to the 24th?)

Dang nabbit. You had to choose this weekend didn't you?!

I can't make it as a friends band is releasing their first single this weekend and I'm going to be with them the whole time to support them.

If you've got time during the week, that's probably a good idea. And yeah, it had to be that weekend, because the UK Webcomix Thing is going on on the 22nd =P

I'm not entirely sure I want to plug it here because I've published it under my real name (and there's plenty of shifty NSers... >.> ). It's on hiatus at the moment on account of my computer being in a state of "not repairable" and most of the work being digital in the first place. =/

But I'll TG you the link.

We still need to figure out when exactly would be a good time. I'll be out on the 22nd, but am flexible for the rest of my stay for now.

Next weekend is OK, or next week Wednesday or later is also OK with me. Sorry, but I don't have any floor space to spare. I would if I could, but our flat is pretty packed with people.

Anyway, this goes out to Peepelonia for the Thing tomorrow:

I'm wearing a white sweater and black pants, and I look like the sexiest male NSer (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=550023) (pictures in the OP), only a wee bit older and with slightly shorter hair. But the soul-patch should tip you off.

Well, I'm in London now, staying in my mixed 16 people room for a few days. No real plans developed quite yet and sightseeing is looking less and less appealing considering the weather =P

Ahhh didn't get this until just now I'm afraid. Did you enjoy the thing? What purchases did you make, and which artists did you meet, did you go to the pub meet afterwards?

I didn't really meet any of the artists with a stand besides Claude who runs Reckless Youth (table 73), and the only things I bought were his three minicomics and the sampler. Then we went out for pizza and shambled off to a pub afterwards.
I never got your TG, by the way.
