Put that afoni fucker on the confirmed list, yo. Dunno how long I'll stick about though, but I'll definitely meet at the pub after.
Maybe I'll even say hello DURING THE EXPO?!?!V !! !>?!
Get on a plane and hang out with real/best/worst gaf

The gift that keeps on giving
England is a pretty small place so I think it is probably easier to get around, however I don't know which pittsburg you're on a about
Just keep at it and it will get better
Yep, that's prepared for launch tomorrow.
I thought your Karaoke at Bloomsbury Bowling was good idea as the place kind of turns into a nightclub as the night goes on. Very close to Kings X and Euston stations too.
He said he'd only come if Anthony drinks honey Jack Daniels and tells his Snoop Dogg joke repeatedly.
Knock knock
Bloomsbury is all booked up, unfortunately.
Shall we abandon karaoke and look for some pubs and clubs instead? I've had a good old trawl for karaoke places and it seems we're SOL.

We could just have a general singsong between pubs perhaps? Or an ipad karaoke app lol.
What has that knock knock joke too? all i remember is being drunk and it being HILARIOUS for about an hour.

hahaha still funny.
Guinness put it in their book of records as most perfect joke.

I just told Andy that joke. Not even a smile. He told me this one back.
Why did the baker have brown hands?

Andy was there when we were doing it and was equally unimpressed. That baker one is good though, i'm keeping it.
I've sent an email to Loading Bar in Soho to see if they can accommodate us with a private room or anything for a couple of hours.
If so, that could be fun & maybe we could arrange for some kind of iPad karaoke there?
I dunno, I'll see what they reply with, but fingers crossed.

This was told at the same time as the knock knock ones. We're ahead of the curve

I tried with them for one of the other meets but they had an event on. It's kinda small but they have a downstairs room as well with arcade machines in.
What are we going to do for food?

I just love that gag! Any opportunity.
Why not? Of course you should come!

I'm guessing parking anywhere near where we will be going will be a nightmare? I fucking hate trains and just prefer to drive places.
Ahhh I guess I could. Is the plan to stay overnight? I used to have a girlfriend in London, and the trains at night were unreliable at best.
This is all totally dependant on my new work Rota though.
eek. London really isn't a great place for me to get to. I'll have to think on it.

Have a look for somewhere nearby and cheap - I did that for the first year I went to Eurogamer & got a quick tube from my parking to the expo. Way better than paying extortionate London parking prices
OK excellent.
I've booked us a room at Loading Bar in Soho.
Musha, Shorty and I went there for a couple of drinks the night before the last big meet & it was a really nice atmosphere there - great for having a relaxed few drinks and chatting, so I think it'll be perfect for our needs.
The only requirement is that everyone buys a drink. Anyone who doesn't want to drink (I'm certain there'll be milkshakes and soft drinks too anyway) is more than welcome to sell theirs to me, eggybob and Jedeye.
I'm thinking after that we should go to Borderline - we've been there before & it was a great laugh, it's also very close to Loading Bar & not too expensive.
Thoughts, people?

So are we going straight from the expo to the Loading bar? or to the one in the OP?
Wow, I may a joke in that Eurobeat about forcing the DJ to play Speedy Speed Boy the next time I go to a club, but now that joke will become a reality.
Oh and I'll also bring Go My Way.
We've got the room from 9-11pm, then we're off to Borderline again.
As in the OP, we're going to King's Head from 7pm - 8:30ish then we'll head to Loading from 9 until about 11.
If you can get the tracks over to me, I'll make a mixtape out of peoples' suggestions & it'll be nice and seamless.
As I'm missing Delilah, can I get my favourite track of hers on that - may not be everybodys cup of tea but fuck it.

Been a lurker in these parts for quite a while and am considering coming to this thing assuming a dirty unknown lurker would be welcome?
I am a local (Crystal Palace) so it's hardly a long way for me to come. On a side note I have been to the loading bar a few times are it's a really nice place, should be great.

More than welcome, chap! It's always great to meet some new people - come along!
Pop into BritGAF and say hello there & you'll know a few of us before you come along, otherwise just turn up and you can be an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Like afoni.
You guys have been added
All in all it looks like we could be seeing about 15-20 people this year - always room for more, though!
I'm thinking of grabbing extra shirts and shit at the expo on Thurs-Sat to give some away at this meet. Anyone else going to the conference, feel free to do the same for all those less fortunate

Loading Bar sounds fab, been wanting to go there for a while now.
Our own music?
I don't know what sort of music people want to hear, I have odd tastes.

Can't be any worse than mine. I have yet to send Mikeside any tracks for his playlist because I just know despite the apparent game theme of the place people will likely groan if something from WakuWaku blasted from the speakers.
