******* Anyone requiring a lift from the train station should gaz BraynDedd in advance. *******

Buses: Birmingham New Street to the bus stop. Colmore Row is full of bus stops. You'll want either the 258, 192, 140, 9, 19, 138 or 139. If you're getting the bus here give me a call when you're on your way & I'll give you more detailed directions & make sure that you're brought from the bus stop this end to my house. Buses cost £1.50 for a single journey & Brum public transport is shit & doesn't give change. I can pretty much guarantee that nobody will be choosing this option, but I thought I should at least offer it in the interests of being environmentally friendly or whatever.

Edit edit edit: I'm living internet-free at the moment (I know - horrible), so can't check back here, or reply to gazzes most of the time. I'll put my number up closer to the time, but I'll check back whenever I can, to make sure that there are no unanswered queries, etc. If there's anything urgent, I'm sure BraynDedd can get in touch with me on your behalf :)

Edit: In case any of you are a bit scared of sleeping in a house full of b3tans, or just want a bit of privacy (you never know around here), have a link to a very local hotel.

I've just looked & there are still some rooms available & you can book in advance for less than £30. The hotel is about an easy 5 minute walk from my front door, so you can easily stagger back there in the evening & return to my house the next morning without a problem.

Also, BraynDedd just informed me that he'll be giving lifts from the train station, blah blah blah. I'll give out my phone number to those who don't yet have it nearer the time, so you can just call us when you're in. I'm also hoping to talk one of my Real Life friends into doing the same - try not to break his mind too much.


The essential basic premise:

I have a family house to myself & am therefore pretty much offering enough crash space for anyone who may possibly want to come - it will pretty much end up being a case of sleep where you fall, but nobody will end up on the street.

*obvious disclaimers about not trashing it, please*


The original idea sounded like this:

Ooh, we could have a two day summer bash! Like across a weekend, or something. The Saturday could be sitting in a park in the sunshine, getting a bit drunk, maybe playing a few casual ball games, etc. Then the Saturday night could be the pubs & clubs of Brum before returning to mine for the night. Then the Sunday could be dossing around my house & garden, recovering from the night before, watching trashy telly / DVDs & eating hangover food.


I shall be providing a fair bit of food & some booze, but you should feel free to bring:
- Any DVDs you may want to watch whilst we're all feeling crappy on the Sunday. My film library is infamously poor.
- Booze! Especially if you're intending to drink loads / anything out of the ordinary.
- Food - I'll cover the basics & a bit more, but we're internet fatties & can always force more junk down our throats if you're offering to supply it.
- Bed stuff - there's a fair bit of floor space around & about, but not much bed linen, etc.
- There is garden space, but I haven't worked what the tent situation will be yet. Let me know if you're thinking of bringing one.



There's probably more stuff I should be saying, but that will do for now. If you have any questions at all, just ask below, or gaz me.



Write it in your diary now!

i would have to dibs crash space due to finance

RedStar returneth

I'm not yet sure how crash space will work out exactly, but there's a lot of floor space, if nothing else. Consider yourself put up for the night.

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

But I could do with crash space. Or garden space for my tent, please?

jim_bob can herd cats.

Don't feel obliged to come if you don't want to. Really. Don't do me any favours.



Crash space or garden space will be available, yes. I'm not sure where I'm going to put everyone yet, but there'll be room somewhere, even if most of it ends up being floorspace. There's a whole house to go at, so it'll be okay, I think.

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

*Has considered*

Is coming, with +1

jim_bob can herd cats.

I will be there.

I thought it couldn't get any more awesome!

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

though I don't know what I'm doing then so I can't say for sure if I'll be there.

Frisbee and ice lollies will entice me further...

and request floor space for my fluzzy-sized roll mat?

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

Behave yourself.

Cap'n Tallbeard

I live just down the road, so I won't need to crash, but sunny days in the park with an Aerobie are always worth it!

:3

Rev. Cleo still alive

So long as they're not easily offended, obviously.

edit: he cant come

Is there somewhere to crash?

Neon Blue Ah ha ha haa! I feel positively capital!

Yes, there is. I don't know where you're all going to end up exactly yet, but there will be room.

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

They tell me it's a good thing to actually go outside and experience 'new people' and 'new things'.

Even /talk board people & things.

So I'll come along and say hello, hang around looking bored, moan about having to go outside to smoke, do/say something less impressive than I thought it'd be, imperiously wave away the paramedics, and then get a cab home.

Question: drinkable cheapo pressie, or stupid novelty toy cheapo pressie?

Sea Tramp the thinking woman's 8 Ace

& ooh, pressie! Excitement! I'll be rather giddy either way :D

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

ill get a train that gets in around the same time as someone else

Let me know if you want an idea of when other people are getting in & I'll find out for you. You're extra likely to be able to cadge a lift that way.

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

i have no clues as to whats going on, all i know is, that im going to get a train to brum, then have a good night, and if i do meet up with you lot, ill have an even better night

I'll find out when people are getting in & let you know by the end of the night so you can plan accordingly.

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

...just might be able to make this. I certainly hope I can.

I'm supposed to be in Scarborough, but probably won't be.

Hmmmm...

Doctor When May your wife shat and chipper

...but I have plenty of portable bed facilities, so I just need space for my portmanteau and valet.

I can possibly pick people up from choo-choo Stations on the way through the City Centre, as well.

Doctor When May your wife shat and chipper

but i wont know for sure till nearer the date

amoebaboy chose for death by unga bunga on

do you think there will be room before I go out and buy one...? I have a feeling that any igloo built with ice cubes from tesco might not last too long....

Rotating Wobbly Hat That's not a banana. THIS is a banana.

..."pitching a tent", lol.

Doctor When May your wife shat and chipper

I'll casually ask my still-ignorant parents how big my garden is in a few minutes & update you with a better idea :)

SpringySunshine - glass milk bottle

and if it won't fit, it won't...

I'll come along and drink myself into oblivion

I'll be the incoherent drunkard snoring exceptionally loudly in the corner

Lovely lovely gin.

Cap'n Tallbeard

so you all can see how great i am

infact i might even make a sign and wonder about with it saying 'im a b3tan get me out of here'

Well, 14.57 technically.

Cap'n Tallbeard

but I can't tell where (& roughly when) it is we're actually supposed to go.
I know Springy is hardly going to put the address on the board here... so could someone GAZ me with the address so's I know roughly where to get off the bus?
South Brum may as well be a foreign country to me.
And West.
And East.
And North-West.


Or, alternatively, is there a meet-up time/place in the city centre?

Sea Tramp the thinking woman's 8 Ace

how very exciting. :-)

Fluzzy namby-pamby pudding and pie

have fun. I'll be hours yet.

Fluzzy namby-pamby pudding and pie

We dont know anyone. Help us anyone

And it was lovely meeting everyone. Thank you for hosting things, Springy and thank you for generally being lovely eveyone else. :)
