Righty, all we need to figure out is a date and time everyone can make it. The obvious ones are out of the question, and I'm not sure of Casino opening times. My lot have a funny eastern european habit of opening presents on xmas eve too, so I'd only be good that day until about 7pm.

When do you all think is a good time?
With a flyer like that, how could anyone not want to go. I'm thinking about spending enough money for a DFK board just to make it there.

Not.

You guys'll have a blast, though.

Obviously I'm up for it.

It's a busy time of year right up against Christmas (though it would be nice to make it close enough to the big today for there to be a bit of atmosphere in London), so how about mid-December as a starting point?

Well for full atmospheric atmosphere, probably before xmas would make sense. While everyone is bustling about shopping, we can chill with a hot cup of coffee and a bout of Daiffukatsu.

To be honest, I'm intending not to be one of those mad xmas eve shoppers, although without fail I find myself doing last minute stocking fillers every year. :roll:

Hmm, there always seems to be a very boring period of nothingness between Christmas Day and Boxing Day where everything is shut. I could spend a while in Casino on one of those days. Available dates are of course the 26th and 27th.
Anyone interested in that? If so could someone check with Casino to find out if they're actually open, and if good old London transport is running then too?

Skykid - 26th and 27th might be a push considering people are still chilling with their families at that time. Plus the London Underground running.....I dunno?

Yeah, that's cool. Usually I find those days pretty boring tbh, we don't do much.

Suggestions then?

How about Wednesday 23rd?

If it's really close to Christmas I can't make it, as I'll be travelling up to see family.

Good idea CHI.

To be honest, I'm going to be super busy from about 23rd to the New Year, but just before then would be great. (Oh, I'm also at work things on the evening of the 21st...

I'm in London Mon-Thurs for at least the next 3 months. If it's on one of those days, then count me in.

I'm also about for the weekend 12/13 December as some of the Arcade Otaku folks are meeting up.

I'll need to nip over to Casino this week at some point.

That would be nice - keep us up to speed on 12th-13th Marc. Will that be in London?

And if you're in London regularly, we usually meet up on Thursday nights and sometimes Fridays. And do say on the main Casino thread if your heading in any evening. I'm pretty flexible on when I can get down there. Are you in London this week?

The 12/13th is in London: http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic. ... hilit=xmas

I am down this week & Thursday suits me down to the ground if you / anyone is about. I'll post in the normal Casino thread so we don't screw this one up too much :)

Okay, so Weds 23rd is no good? Taylor, that's not doable for you?

Maybe Sunday 20th then? :idea:

I'm going to be in London from the 18th, so 20th sounds good to me too.

Actually - what time were we thinking?

It's the wife's birthday on the 21st, and I've learned I'm having to work that evening, so I might have some husbandly duties on the eve of the 20th. Not sure yet though...

I'm going to have to make a slightly wimpy commitment for now, and mention to the wife that I'm bunking off her birthday for your ugly muggs - perhaps she can come along with me!

Chi you're working on a Sunday? You should give that paper round up dude.

Will, if it's her Birthday on the 21st, is the 20th (between maybe 1-10pm) totally difficult?

Actually, I'll be working all the way up to Christmas Eve, so any time before Christmas is fine. 20th included!
