Any LRR Fans in London (in England)?

[Lawman]

It struck me that I've been living in London for over three months now, and haven't really done much to make new friends in the area. I know Bath and it's surrounding areas has a high density of LRR fans, because I occasionally go there, and hang out with all of them. Which is awesome.

Is there currently a similar group in London. If not, don't you think there should be? If enough people are willing, who wants to meet up somewhee in the city one weekend and hang out somewhere?

P.S.: Added inventive: I have LRR season 1 on DVD. A suitable activity could be to get together somewhere and watch that.

i live in london (harrow) but i'm the only person i know who's a fan. I've tried getting a couple of people interested but no joy

[Elomin Sha]

Good to see you back around Lawman.

My rate of posting on these forums decreased when I started meeting up with Mad Madam Mimm, elvor, ThrashJazzAssassin and Theremin (also featuring Lyinginbedmon) in real life. They could paraphrase what was going on on the forums.

gbridges, it's good to know I'm not the only fan in this incredibly large city. I live (at present) in Victoria, to let everyone know. If there aren't enough people to make meeting up a semi-regular occurrence, London is certainly a connected enough city to make some sort of one-off event possible.

I occasionally pop down to London, but do not live there.

Up until about a week ago I was living around Kensington, but since uni broke up I've returned home to the home counties. Come October, though, I'll be back in London for the next academic year.

That being said, I'm only an hours train journey from the heart of London, so its not like its completely out of reach for me...

J-dog is king of the Meetups.

[Lawman]

Clarification: he means me. Because my real name has a J in it. If you don't know my real, name, that statement falls a bit flat.

[Theremin]

That's our J-dog!

I live up North and so am only in London depressingly infrequently.

[Drinnik]

I live 45 minutes away from London, but only visit now and again.

[madrak_the_red]

I live in the suburbs, but I'm leaving come October. I am presently on a 3 month holiday however.

[Elomin Sha]

I'll be in London for a few days before and after my trip to Canada.

[Lawman]

Awesome. When's your trip to Canada?

So: it seems like there are enough people in or around London to make a one-off meetup for fun and larks a possibility. Next step is to come to a conclusion as to when this should be. I'm basically free most weekends. Weekdays require that I take holidays off work, which I can do, if absolutely necessary.

I will be in London briefly on Wednesday, but i will be hugely jetlagged and not keen to do anything apart from sleep.

As of October, I will be in Oxford which is nice and close to London, so i could pop down for a meet up.

[LogicSword]

There's the Expo in October, so maybe then would be good?

[Elomin Sha]

Awesome. When's your trip to Canada?

September.

Currently living about an hour away from London.

as an aside did anyone go to the VGL concert when it was last in london in 2008? that was a great evening

[Gap Filler]

No, but then again I was still living up North back then. Speaking of big events in the capital, AnimeLeague Club London's London Anime Con is on at the end of the month. Assuming enough people are in the vicinity, a LRR meetup there would seem pretty game.

Yup, was a really great night out! I've been to all the VGL concerts in London, I'm just waiting for them to actually come back...
Btw, if you're on the forums over there, that's me with the same username.

Amen to that! this is the third year with no london date!

[Lawman]

I know close to nothing about Animé, except that nerds like it, and I'm a nerd, so I might head over here and see what it's like. If other LRRies decide to turn up too, awesome.

[LogicSword]

It's probably worth watching some first before you go, otherwise you'll either be weireded or bored out of your mind.

[Lawman]

Any recommendations?
