A few of us from the GLBT forum that couldn't make the big London Do will be there over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 23-26). It looks like awc4, FlyBalletGuy and I will be there and I think Guy Betsy may be as well. Anybody else gonna be there during the weekend?

Not a problem for me - I will be in the UK only from the 22-26 anyway. I'm free after Covent Garden latish friday night and at some point Sat afternoon or evening but need to follow with another friend as to when on Saturday she has time to meet.

It will be pretty low key and we'll just get together twice to make it easy. The tentative plan:
Friday Nov 24 10:00ish - meet up someplace in SoHo for drinks. FlyBalletGuy will probably join us in progress since he will be attending a show that night. Please feel free to make a suggestion on a venue.
Saturday Nov 25 8:00ish - meet up someplace for a casual dinner. Please feel free to make a suggestion on a venue.
Our group so far: awc4, FlyBalletGuy, Guy Betsy, ecaarch, Tennen, Malaysian16 (possibly for Saturday)
We def welcome any others from the GLBT forum that will be in London to join us. It will be cool to attach faces to the online personalities.

Firstly, thank you for the most persuasive PMs!!
If all work goes to plan, I might just be able to make Friday evening. Will know for sure in a couple of days, but put me down (spot giggling, Studio76! ) as a confirmed maybe for now!

Just realised that HI is going to watch Scissor Sisters on Friday nite and Georgie Michael on Sat nite so I am free.
Can some PM with details as how I will recognise the rest of you?
Realised on Sunday that it was time to leave New York with all the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade participants arriving in town with their bright red jackets

Hey AJLondon and KenJohn - def look forward to seeing you this weekend. Looks like a nice little group is shaping up. (Organizing a group has always been a big fantasy of mine ) I'll PM you with all the contact info I have. If you have mobile numbers that you can share with the group via PM to me, that will make it easier for us all to meet up.
FlyBalletGuy, we had a suggestion for Ballans for dinner on Saturday. Anbody else wanna chime in or should we just go with it?

Thanks ecaarch.
I do hope you remembered to cross-post this in Community Buzz though, as per FT rules. You also might then get a few more people attending, as not all FTers would be reading this forum.
