Join me in exciting adventures

I am trying to attact people along to various things -

My birthday is the 16th February. You are all invited to Bruges for my birthday celebrations. I intend to book the trip by next week, so if you'd like it booked cheaply (and it will be cheap) let me know very soon. Otherwise, you'll have to arrange your own transport and/or accomodation. The plan is (as taken from snow_leopard's LJ):
We plan to go 12th-17th February 2004, flying from London Stanstead to Ostend with Ryanair. The flight on the 12th is at 4.20 pm you can can get away with taking half a day (thus only 3.5 days off work), flight back is at 6.30 pm so we can get an almost full day there. Current cost of these flights is less than £30 return, shouldn't get more than £50 per person return before we book.
Accommodation is cheap, exactly how cheap depends on whether we go for the budget hotel or the hostel, they are on the same site and the only difference between them is that for the hotel you pay an extra £2 per person per night for an on-suite shower
• £10.80 per person per night, 4 bed room with on suite shower, http://www.bauhaus.be/hotel.html
• £8.70 per person per night, 4 bed room, communal shower, http://www.bauhaus.be/youthhostel.html
Its a little bit more if you would rather your own room or would rather share with less people.
Accommodation will be booked once I have confirmation of numbers and have booked the flight. Once we have sorted out who is going you can all e-mail me to say who you would rather (or rather not) share a room with.
We intend to take a daytrip to Ghent, Antwerp or Brussels on the Monday - again which is something we can decide once we have confirmation (or even split up depending on who wants to do what).

Also, there is an expedition to the Science Museum to see the Lord of the Rings exhibition, and I already have a ticket for 16:45 on Sunday 7th December, along with mirabehn, evil_nick and spindlemere. Tickets are only available in advance and will probably sell out quickly, so if you wish to join our little group, book quickly. :)

There will be a very special performance by the militaristic neo-folk group Death in June on Saturday 22nd November. On a boat on the thames!!!! Woooooo! This should be very exciting and includes free vegetarian food apparently. Tickets advance only from flag promotions, of all unlikely people. Come along, it'll be a night to remember.

And on an anti-war theme, the very bouncey New Model Army are playing the London Astoria on Tuesday 16th December. Hopfully see a lot of you there. :)

Finally, our long delayed housewarming party looks like it'd being scheduled for Saturday 29th November. Come come come! :) Directions nearer the time.

*hoping lots of people will appear*

How jolly!! caro7 and I will be in Florida for the next two weeks, so we'll be tramping round the Everglades dodging alligators and swanning around Key West instead of seeing Death in June (which she is very cross about) and attending your party respectively. Not only that but we'll be have just come back from celebrating my birthday in Edinburgh when you depart for Belgium... lovely to be asked though! Hope it's all splendid fun!

Argh, I doubt that Bruges will be possible for us, as Nick only has two days holiday left (which he's using at Christmas). Not quite sure how we managed that...

Yay! To the 7th. :D

Housewarming sounds potentially possible - depends how tired we are with Naomi's party (and me staying over with her and then my brother for a few days afterwards) the weekend before, and going to see David the weekend after. We'll come if we can, definitely. :)

*hugs you*

Mmm, I may have to be in Belgium at some point on business. Bruges is only a short trip from Brussels...

Pah. You forgot Merzbow and Schimpfluch on the 20th. Much better than DiJ (who were massively outclassed by NoN last time).

Gonna have to miss the housewarming party I'm afraid, I have a friend coming down from scotland that weekend. Will be at the Army gig though.

BTW we should probably meet up and catch up properly at some point before I go into total hermit mode next year.

Can't do housewarming, am in Soton that weekend.
Might be able to do NMA gig.

Congrats on the job hunt, that was fantastic!!

Also, may see you at Death In June. It's about time that we got something like this. It's usually techno heads you see heading down the Thames on a boat.

Say Hi to Britain if you see her too! I've lost her phone number.

Take care!
