TAM London Roll Call

I notice people have mostly been talking about football and museums and touristy things. Is anyone up for just finding a pub or something similar on the Friday evening and steadfastly avoiding all things touristy?

That sounds like a plan I'd like to sign up for!

Whereabouts? I guess it doesn't need to be particularly close to the venue...

That said, everyone is going to be centred around the venue.

In that case, the choice is of two:

1) the founders arms

Pros:
* Fantastic nightime views of the river
* Tonnes of seating

Cons:
* A tad ugly
* A few minutes walk over the millenium bridge

2) The Black Friar

Pros:
* Guest beers available
* Interesting art deco interior

Cons:
* It's a bit small.

So only two venues to check if you're looking for other people.

I find the The Black Friar's con to be acceptable. Unless all 400 (600?) of us decide to go there for a drink, in which case I fear the Founders Arms won't be up to the task either ...

Also, does nighttime view of the river mean you can also enjoy the smell of the river?

I find the Thames doesn't smell very much, well not compared with the Orwell. Perhaps my node is attuned to the stink.

OK, perhaps we should have a pub policy of meeting at the Black Friar, and nominate all of the surrounding pubs as overflow pubs.
 
No badge yet for me either, but I will not start to panic. If I keep telling myself that maybe it will become true. :)

Now I have to read the thread to find out what that magic night someone mentioned is about.

Well. Telling myself I'd win did get me tickets in the draw... :D
 
I'll be there :D
So, how to find the correct table? Reservations, maybe?
Or should we simply don the fashionable white and purple TAM badges?
A sign with "woo free zone" or something...?
What time should people converge for this fine, beery, skeptic hive assimillation?
