I leave for France on the 29th - count me in

 

[Sasaferrato]

We need to be thinking about numbers and a venue, booking will be necessary as the festival is on at that time.

 

[heinous seamus]

Meadows.

Vino and bbq. I'll bring my moothie.

Sounds good, we would get arrested though.

 

[heinous seamus]

I'm not that bad on the moothie...

 

[equationgirl]

Sounds good, we would get arrested though.

Why would we get arrested for having a picnic?

I think we should have a back-up plan in case it rains

 

[Superdupastupor]

Sounds good, we would get arrested though.

nahh its fine to drink in public places in Edinburgh cos we're civilized like that

 

[Fedayn]

So we got the date what about a time and pub?

 

[equationgirl]

The Pear Tree would be a good alternative, I reckon, as there's plenty of places to sit and (i'm led to believe) it has reasonable beer.

 

[geminisnake]

So is everyone remembering????

And have we got a time yet?? Venue doesn't really matter cept for the initial meet(which I can see happening at Waverley or summat!!)

 

[Sasaferrato]

Ah, right. It is agin the law in West Lothian.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I'll come. Where and what time?

 

[dozzer]

I'd forgotten all about this, thanks for the heads up!

Was there an actually plan of what to do? Hang on, what's the weather going to be like...

*checks the famously unreliable bbc website*

hmmm

well, gives us a bit of everything. But it's going to be 25 degrees at least.

I know a decent bar - the auld hoose, It's not too far from the Pear Tree. It doesn't have a beer garden though. MAP
Anyway, just a suggestion.

Who's going to be about?!

Are we doing something cultyooral? Or having a picnic?

 

[geminisnake]

I'll come. Where and what time?

I dunno, I'm 70 odd miles north

Can we start somewhere a bit closer to Waverley than the auld hoose though?? That looks like a bit of a trek!!

As for the weather, I have the attitude of look out window and see what is is
It may well be warm though!! And it would be nice to be outside some of the time if it's dry.
I quite liked the picnic on the Meadows if dry idea(coz I know where the Meadows are ) but it's not just up to me.

 

[treefrog]

forgot about this one, still up for it though. Somewhere near waverly makes most sense to me...

 

[Sasaferrato]

Meeting up at Waverly seems a good idea.

 

[Superdupastupor]

I'm going camping in Skye this weekend....

have fun folks!

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Another one in for near Waverley, still getting to grips with Edinburgh's geography

 

[mitochondria]

Waverley is good - hard to miss!

 

[Frankie Jack]

If I get paid for the job I've just done I could be up for a shufti.... This Saturday.. What about the Doric..

Name: The Doric Tavern - Location: Edinburgh
Address: 15, Market St, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH1 1DE [0131 225 1084]

Or.. Deacon Brodies

Sometime around 13:30 - 14:00 for those travelling... Or a tad earlier... Mebbe a two hour window..??

 

[Velouria]

As I am, err, not at the Wickerman, I shall also be able to pop along. My flat is still a tip though ...

 

[danny la rouge]

Have a good one, people. I'll be spending time with the kids since we've not got much time off with them during the hols. But I'll have a dram for you on Sat.

 

[heinous seamus]

I'm one of those annoying people who won't commit to anything at the last minute ... so umm I might see you there!

 

[geminisnake]

Ok, Costa in the Waverley Station between 2-2.30 is my suggestion, seeing as some folk are coming in by train.

I will either wear or have lying around my Urban Tshirt, tis a baby eating anarchist one. And there's photos of some of us on the ugly mug thread

COSTA AT 2/2.30

Can EVERYONE SEE IT NOW??????

 

[The Boy]

I'm working at 4 so won't be able to hang around. STill fancy coming along to say hi though as it will giv me anexcuse not to do my back garden.

I'll be the guy with a beard. I'll also be wearing a wine rack tshirt with my name on it.

 

[greencheese]

I might come...where's everyone meeting up?

 

[pogofish]

The Costa in the main court at Waverely Stn - right opposite the ticket barriers & at the foot of the ramp. Beside the M&S/shops

 

[pogofish]

Look for a "Baby Eating Anarchists" t-shirt hanging over the back of a chair.

 

[greencheese]

I know it....what time? I hope we're going to the pub?
