HN London meetup tonight (New Venue)

35 points by dmitri1981 ↗ HN
Quick reminder that London HN meetup is tonight at The Water Poet in Shoreditch from 18:00 http://www.waterpoet.co.uk/ . Please note that we recently changed the venue due to (unexpectedly) high demand. Look forward to seeing you all there.

I work about 30 seconds away from the Water Poet but I'm not in the office today! Have a good one and hopefully I'll see you all at the next one.

Thanks. We'll keep HN posted about future HN London meetups. Hopefully we'll do another one at the similar time next month.

Excellent pub, good choice. Won't be able to make it though.

Bah. In the end I won't make it; we have a huge backlog of work so I can't get away in time to catch the train.

Keep posting future meets to the mailing list that was set up though; I'm often down there & would love to meet you guys.

Hm no way I can get there for 6, miles away from me (and finish at 6) - is it vitally important to arrive on time?

I'm going to be working a bit late tonight to make up time from the Football yesterday, I'll pop over some time after 7, I'm hoping it should be still going for a while after that.

Any time is good. We'll be there most of the evening.

Is there a reserved area? Or is it a matter of walking around and finding the people talking about programming/startups? :-)
coderholic
We've reserved space for 60, in the "back barn". Walking around to find people talking about startups will work too :)

Ok see you there. Can someone put up a sign or something as everyone has a macbook and looks like a geek nowadays

Would love to make it, too, but am wrapping up at my current client's and will be late this evening.

Have a good evening - looks like it'll be a lovely warm night for it!

Just on the off chance people based in the Midlands are reading this and wishing they could go - is there enough interest for a meetup in the Midlands?
ErrantX
Where in the Midlands? and, yeh, I'd be up for it (depending on the locale

Birmingham? Nottingham?

I've never been to a HN meetup before - I'm looking forward to this.

Anyone bringing laptops to show off their work?

If you're interested in Tornado or realtime in general, I'd love to talk.

Also, if you have a good graphic design contact with knowledge of web fonts, bring them (or their contact details) along!

Reading this i was wondering if any HN-ers based in Scotland are willing to get together and do a similar meetup?

I'll be there, probably a little earlier, around 5pm.

Will have a "Hacker's Delight" book on me, which should be a pretty good sign. ;)

Arg. I'm only landing at Gatwick at 20:15.

I can't imagine that I'd be able to get there until around 22:00. I don't suppose that anyone will still be around then?

dmitri1981
Possibly. Call the bar closer to the time and check, their number is 020 7426 0495. In any case we hope to make this a regular event, so hopefully there will be more opportunities in the future.

Hohoho, just as I land in NYC. Next time.

There shortly. I'm the Australian guy in a brown t shirt with a chandelier printed on it.

Fyi we're in the backroom, spot the guys with beards and glasses. I'm the asian guy in a light purple shirt and glasses if you're completely lost.

Thanks to Dmitri (hi) for setting this up. Good event!

Is there an announcement list for future events? I just found this thread...to late for me on this one.
dmitri1981
Yep, see coderholic's post for Google and Facebook groups
