Magick Forum Mini Meet

13:07 / 18.09.03

As Set will be in the Captial towards the end of next week, I'm trying to get together a small meet up of regular posters/readers of the Magick Forum (and anyone else who fancies coming pretty much), based in or around London. There's no "set" agenda (boom!boom!) no formation of magick orders is planned but you never know that filthbeer is strong stuff, it's just an opportunity to meet up, catch up, get drunk in each other's company and waffle various difference shades of bollocks about magick and the like.

I'm proposing Friday the 26th for this (the other option is possibly Thurs 25th but it's payday on Friday, nahwotimean. I'm going to be utterly boring and suggest the Princess Louise as the meeting point 'cos it's central and everyone knows where it is. Alternative suggestions welcome.

So register your interests here, basically.

13:17 / 18.09.03

Good-o old chum. Any proposed time for this shindig? I only work down Holborn so 6-ish would be a damn good start if anyone's up for that.

13:26 / 18.09.03

6 onwards sounds good. That gives me 5 hours of drinking without eating. That's the way I like it.

Anna de L: Just watch your shoes, that's all I'm saying. Best padlock them to ya ankles.

13:30 / 18.09.03

Where is the princess Louise?
I shall try to attend (coming from Winchester though so no guarantees)and I may wear socks and sandals just to see Anna's face...

You think I won't show up and kick your candy a - sorry, wrong thread.

Yes, I'll be along. Princess Louise is fine, although The Plough is sometimes a bit less packed on a friday, beer is not as cheap as Louise, but also not quite as evil. Plough was also allegedly the drinking haunt of Mssr's Crowley and Spare, so has a certain psychogeographical continuity of London magician piss-up type thing going on. Not bothered though, Louise is always easy to get to.

I might try and make it. But if I don't I have an important piece of advice.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET SET SIT ON YOU

13:40 / 18.09.03

Ooh, Gypsy Lantern's so on to something. We should go to The Plough which is on Museum Street here.

13:42 / 18.09.03

Elsewhere: I will not, repeat not, let you sit on me or anyone else other than Anna De Logandere if she is misbehaving.

Quantum: The PL is about a 50 yards from the exit of Holborn Tube. Striaght up as if you're going toward Tottenham Court Road, on your left. V. easy to find.

13:53 / 18.09.03

Btw: I'm sure crash space can be arranged for any non-Lannnddahnners.

14:29 / 18.09.03

Elseware won't sit on anyone, and anyway he's a skinny ass mofo so it wouldn't matter. Set has killa bunz though, beware.

Plough, Plough! Let's go there!

14:46 / 18.09.03

I'd like to point out that on no account should anyone indulge Set's demands for a massage.

15:54 / 18.09.03

Hell, I'm gonna massage set in my socks and sandals, what are you gonna do about it shoelady? See you in the ring, I'm getting the goddamn tights right now...

adamswish

16:51 / 18.09.03

Btw: I'm sure crash space can be arranged for any non-Lannnddahnners.

Music to my ears, I shall check my financial situation...

17:06 / 18.09.03

mmmpphh. I can't possibly fight two of you at once? What on earth am I going to do?

Kit-Cat Club

17:13 / 18.09.03

Get a partner in crime, obviously. Sounds like a couple of people here are getting a little bumptious and could do with taking down a peg or two...

El Directo

22:16 / 18.09.03

Ooh, I've never had an Anna massage! That sounds fab, cheers for offering.

The Plough sounds fab too, actually. Nice one, GL.

Quantum - be good to see you. Funny how we rarely hook up when you're so close, and now it's looking likely we'll catch up in London.#

Unless you do your normal trick of screwing up your ETA...

Thursday's Child

01:04 / 19.09.03

hmmm... I might actually make it to this one.

Btw: I'm sure crash space can be arranged for any non-Lannnddahnners

I'm gonna hold ya to that, Mr Ill.

I briefly have cash and would like to make this...

can and will waft on about healing energy and elemental systems/hinduism (current thing) until the cows come home. might well be into this. but will also need kind person to put me up....

07:58 / 19.09.03

I'm in, and I also like the idea of the Plough (Ox? Ox-Goad? 31? The Key to it All??). Right next to Atlantis isn't it? Unfortunately I can't put anyone up as I'm couch surfing as well.

If people are interested, I will try to bring a group ritual to perform somewhere so we can back up our BS.

11:15 / 19.09.03

So anyone else got crash space? I can offer to put two or three at mine, though you may end up in close proximity on a sofa.

Gypsy Lantern

11:42 / 19.09.03

I potentially have crash space at mine, but it's in the forbidden desolate wilds of south east London - which means having to catch the last train (just before midnight) - which generally means having to leave a bit earlier and miss out on any exciting post-pub activity.

11:43 / 19.09.03

*glares at Set* You want me to give you a massage when you're stealing my permanent crash space... rrrrrrrraaaarrrrr, you're higher on my list than Illmatic and Quantum now! Anyone else want a fight?

El Directo

11:57 / 19.09.03

S'OK Anna. Another friend has offered to put me up in a location closer to the course venue. I just hadn't got aroundto texting Flyboy to tell him. Which I'll do in a minute.

Crashspace restored for the plucky fighter. Now can I have a backrub?

12:42 / 19.09.03

Gosh how thrilling! Hmmm. Maybe I might deign to give you a backrub.

16:52 / 19.09.03

Unless you do your normal trick of screwing up your ETA
Usually I'm lucky to get the right day. People used to have 'waiting for Ben' parties lasting up to three days, a few hours here or there is nothin' really

That reminds me, I want to get you reeeeaaally drunk, just to see what happens- will you drink tequila if I make people massage you?

Boy in a suitcase- be prepared to be badgered about your book, bub.

adamswish

17:12 / 19.09.03

Well looks like the brumaliths may actually get their act together and be there too.

Ill, think you could cope with three brummies (well two and a bit really, long story, deserves a pint to go with it) crashing at yours?

This is of course all on the adhock idea that we will actually get there though.

Nietzsch E. Coyote

19:33 / 19.09.03

Oh I really wish I could come.
Oh the pains of living in the world.
I want you to know that I am there in spirit.
I will even attempt to astral project, perhaps I'll be there in form.
Even if, I'm not in total manifestation.

00:23 / 20.09.03

how will we recognise each other?

I'll drop by with the Glandmaster, a fellow Psychonaut

Lyra

14:46 / 20.09.03

Excellent, an excuse to come back to London, meet more of you and see set out of his regular habitat.

Has all the spare carpet/sofa space been taken? I'm a taxi girl at heart so getting back from the pub at the end of the night wouldn't be a problem.

Quantum: That reminds me, I want to get you reeeeaaally drunk, just to see what happens- will you drink tequila if I make people massage you?

'Fraid I won't be getting plastered, pal. I'm getting old, and my liver's packing in. Plus I'm predicting that the course will be taking a lot out of me, don't want to be hung over.

Lupus: I will even attempt to astral project, perhaps I'll be there in form.

I am so gonna make myself one of those shamanic soul-catching thingies so I can keep you in a jar.

Will: I'll drop by with the Glandmaster, a fellow Psychonaut

Fucking awesome! Been a long time since you last talked my ear off...

Lyra: Has all the spare carpet/sofa space been taken?

I could ask Logger if she could put up a third person. I'm just waiting for confirmation from her that it's OK to come up a day earlier than I thought...

Dude, my natural habitat is behind a drum kit. And practically no-one's seen me there...

13:18 / 22.09.03

Will: You will recognise me by me being remarkably tall, especially for that evening.

Adamswish: 2 brummies and a bag full of body parts? Does this include Mixmage - can't he sleep in a shop doorway like last time? Shouldn't be a problem. I have already offered crashspace to BiP, who hasn't confirmed as of yet, so I don't quite know what's going to happen but I'm sure, in the immortal words of Dennis Norden "It'll be alright on the night". Possibly the magery will be extended to include a greasy breakfast in the morning.

I'd like to come along to this aslong as Illmatic promises not to hit me with a stick - I also have floor space if needed.....

15:18 / 22.09.03

Will: you will recognise me as wearing a coat that resembles a pair of curtains, well perhaps just carrying.
