  • CGK visit = LON SIN Do

    So, Mr Indirect Routing (that's CGK for those on more formal terms with our resident sweetie and guardian angel) will grace my home city with his presence in a week's time, and we've managed to rustle up a posse to celebrate his arrival.

    The posse:
    CGK
    guttorm
    Lobster
    and yours truly

    Agenda for Saturday 25 Nov:

    Pre-dinner cocktails at 6 pm at the now-established LON SIN Do pre-dinner haunt, the Mandarin Oriental London -- first round of watermelon martinis on me! guttorm, fashionable man that he is, will be coming late, so he'll have some catching up to do. And we'll try to wait for him before heading out to ...

    Dinner at 8 pm at Shanghai Blues (www.shanghaiblues.co.uk). I have reservations for the posse; do let me know if you can join us. I'll probably need to finalize reservations by this Tuesday.

    Post-dinner drinks: looks like we'll be converging on one of the SQTalkers' room (we'll have some bubblies to lubricate the conversations [and just the conversations, thank you]) and making it cozy. Unless something happens unexpectedly, the beautiful cawhite should be there with the equally gorgeous Jenbel .

    Action Step(s):

    Please let me know if you can make the first SQT-announced LON SIN Do (they're the best outside SIN and DPS , at least until the ORD SIN Do comes to pass: what say you, cawhite? MovieMan? ).

    Please PM me before 5:30 pm on Saturday the 25th with your contact details (e.g., mobile number) so I can let you know where the group members are during the night. Hope to see you.

    Special go to SQFAN for being unavailable, jhm for being in my favorite city that weekend, and MAN Flyer for having too much of a life to come join us.

    Ah london. Been absolutely YEARS since i've been there. Would love to make it but can't . In fact, i don't think I'll be going there for a long time to come.

    So what number is this in the series now?

      I hear you send a pretty reliable representative, though.

      I've lost count. Maybe we need nicknames for the various LON SIN Do's, like "First Sarah West Ivy Do" or, in the current case, "CGK Post-India". ("CGK Ungrounded" would be far too un-specific .)

        Dunno about pretty. But yeah, she's reliable. Isn't she like coming in early december? That's another occasion for a LON-SIN do

        Me too. You guys treat London like a halfway house

          Aw shucks! Of all the weekends, it had to be this one - I expect the ORD SIN "Graeters" Do soon to compensate!

          Unless I've missed one, I make this LON SIN Do VI (with the last one being back in March which was LON SIN Do V - I still have jjpb3's PM).

          shortfinals - you should accompany SQfg (I assume you know each other) one of the times she visits London.

            Do i know her? Yes actually. Know her very very well - to the point she gets inside my head far too much. Rather disconcerting actually.......

            Some people say meeting her is like meeting me but I REALLY have no idea where that came from !

              It sounds like you two are very compatible.

                Far from it. In fact, i think we're mutually exclusive. But that's JMHO.

                  You should see them squabble. The making-up part must be earth-shattering.

                      You did miss one. It was the "jjpb3 feeling unsociable (1)" LON SIN Do, where CGK and Lobster helped me get over my feeling of disconnection with the world. (Thanks for all the patience, Lobster and CGK.) This was before my DPS trip, mind you.

                      That depends now on our Midwest contacts, doesn't it?

                        Nope. But my imagination is running amok.

                          So if this is Lon SIN Do VI - it's only two weeks apart from Lon SIN Do VII isn't it?

                            I'm getting a bit confused about what makes a Do. I knew about the cheer up jjpb3 session (there was a post about it) but wasn't sure whether that counted as a Do! And I didn't realise I would be going to one next December!

                              Isn't that when SQFG swings by?
