Full IRL Details

Ok after the poll, we've confirmed the date for the IRL as Saturday 24th November.

The venue will be the same place as last time; The Nanobyte Bar starting at 7pm and finishing whenever they kick us out :cool:

You can find information on how to get there on their site, but here's a summary:

The address:
183-185 Wardour street
London
W1V 3FB

The nearest Tube stations are Tottenham Court Road (Northern and Central lines) and Oxford Circus (Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines). Basically you walk along Oxford Street towards the station you didn't get off at, and Wardour Street is one of the turn offs (has the Starbucks that the tourists never know about if you need a coffee and don't want to queue for a week to get it). The turning is directly opposite the Plaza shopping center. There's a map here if you need it :D

There are no scheduled engineering works (that's like server downtime, but IRL :( ) on the Tube network in central London on that weekend, but if you're travelling in from elsewhere in the UK you might want to have a check before you plan your journey ;) Since it's generally handy for everyone, here is a map of the Tube network. The Nanobyte is between the Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations you can find in roughly the center of the map.

If you're planning on coming but didn't vote in the poll, you're more than welcome to come but please post here (or get someone to post for you) so I can call them to change the amount of space booked if necessary ;)

Unfortunately hotels are up to you to sort out :o

There are a lot of very cheap hotels in London, often around Kings Cross, but you really do get what you pay for.

Edit: And consider yourself counted Darmina :)

Need some kind of illness that lasts 3 days that is life threatening, any suggestions? :P

Gastro isn't life threatning but very contagious... and since you can't stay away from the toilet for more than an hour straight, it's a very good excuse. And it generally takes 1-2 day to recover. (Sorry, lol)

Since it's completely impossible for me to make it to London (gathering the money and renewing my passport in such a short time would take a miracle) I hope there would be pictures available too... *nods*
