All right, folks, TAM London is approaching mercilessly, and those of us who were left out should start making some definite plans.

So let´s draw up some definitely final provisional improvised plans here. Who´s coming along on which day, and where do we meet up at which time? (The question of where to go together is probably better left to whoever shows up, rather than making a rigid schedule)

So, first question, where to meet? If nobody comes up with a better plan, I´d say Speaker´s Corner, which last time I visited London was on the north-east corner of Hyde Park.

Second question, what time do we meet? How about 9:30 AM? That leaves even those of us who aren´t obsessive early risers, like myself, a reasonable amount of time to get up and have breakfast.

Third question, who´s coming on each day? If you don´t announce yourself here, it won´t mean we won´t take you along, it just means we probably won´t wait for you if you´re a little late, as we won´t know you´re coming.

Note: Thursday, Friday and Monday are of course open to those who attend TAM London. You´ll have to endure the violent envy of us poor unlucky bastards, but otherwise you´re welcome.

Thursday, October, 1st:
Me

Friday, October, 2nd:
Me (probably; I´m tempted by the idea of going to the Imperial War Museum with Hutch et al)

Saturday, October, 3rd:
Me

Sunday, October, 4th:
Me

Monday, October, 5th:
(I´m not coming; I have an appointment with an airplane around noon)


Your turn...
 
I'm up for Thursday, I'll be doing IWM on Friday and TAMming the rest of the weekend.
 
I'll monitor this thread while I am there. I arrive in London on Tuesday. Not sure what I'm doing yet.

I´m not sure I´ll have internet access while I´m there. That´s why I prefer to coordinate NOW, rather than wander all over London trying to gather up TOMmies.
 
I just realized that I won´t recognize all the TOMmies, and vice versa. Scrut, I think I´ll recognize you, and Hutch of course, but that´s more or less it.

I´m going to be wearing one of my TAM T-shirts, if the weather is in any way suitable for that.

If not, I´m afraid we´ll have to trust in our karma to lead us to each other. :)
 
Signing off now; have to leave for the airport at 5 AM tomorrow.

I´ll see you guys in London. Marble Arch, Speakers´ Corner, Thursday at 9 AM. I´m the guy wearing something TAM-themed. I´ll be happy about every one of you who shows up.
 
Afraid I can't make 9 tomorrow, but I could be there later - what are you planning? Are there any other meetups or activities planned for Thursday?

D'oh I was there at 0930, guess I should have read the entire thread when I double-checked the time this morning.

I was there from 9:00 to 9:40. Nobody came.

No meetup tomorrow. I will be with the folks at the Imperial War Museum.
 
Unless I or one of the folks I am meeting tomorrow post something saying otherwise in this thread, Meetup on Saturday will be on 9:30 AM.

Marble Arch subway station will be closed over the weekend, making Speakers Corner harder to access. The meeting point will be the Achilles Statue near the southeast corner of Hyde Park, accessible via subway station Hyde Park Corner.
