Is it okay to be totally nosy and ask for whattabout you and justom? :]

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

You can ask, you just can't expect me to actually discuss it in this forum. :-}

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Hey, you brought it up!

*points to userpic* That is what you are doing. :)

[c1.livejournal.com]

I should say it's pretty obvious what's up: they're going to London to drink tea and watch plays. Isn't that what people do in London?

You must be mistaking it for somewhere else, like Paris...

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Love your userpic!

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Schmoop!

[jehanna.livejournal.com]

Oooh, have fun!

[deguspice.livejournal.com]

Looks like you're going to be busy this month. Have fun in London!

BTW, today's Boston Globe's travel section had a paragraph about: http://www.londonpass.com/

It's 68GBP for a three-day pass with free access to lots of museums. (1-6 day passes are available)

(if you buy the pass online today, you can get a 10% discount (they'll give you something you can print out and then redeem when you get London))

Boston by bike at midnight? This sounds intriguing and I would like to subscribe to this newsletter ... have you gone in previous years? If so, how quickly do people tend to bike? Are there any really hilly sections?

[roozle.livejournal.com]

What's really impressive is to be biking it FROM NYC if I read the surrounding text correctly.

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

No, no no, no. >:-) *I* do not do the Midnight Ride, not being possessed of even one bicycle. Thus, I may safely run away to NYC and leave the Midnight Ride to my more ambitious compatriots, such as ablock and brass_rat (to whom I refer all inquiries).

[magid.livejournal.com]

It's not a newsletter, just an annual ride. Meet at Copley at 11:30 pm, with lights and a spare inner tube and water, and bike around Boston and environs on an architectural tour. The route changes each year. It's not a fast ride, covering something like 30 miles between midnight and dawn, and while there are sometimes hills, it's fairly flat overall.

They have no web presence, sending out snail mail each year to announce the date.

TUvan throat singing workshop? How cool!

[teddywolf.livejournal.com]

Thank you for dropping off the car with my sister; it was good to see her today even if the occasion was sad. "Knob Goblins Fear My Moxie!"

[besamim.livejournal.com]

I just love London! Been there twice, most recently in 2003. Will this be your first visit?

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

I was there in March of 1987, at age 14, for a total of perhaps 2.5 days at the beginning and end of a 9-day high school trip (I was in 10th grade). We saw a bunch of the top sights (the Tower and the Crown Jewels, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey) and the kinds of things you can see from a bus or boat tour (Tower Bridge, Victoria Memorial, Piccadilly Circus) -- plus an RSC production of Macbeth at the Barbican Centre. (justom asked me if that might have been the Ian McKellan/Judi Dench production, but apparently that was the 1977 production. Which is good because I would hate to have not remembered about that all these years!)

But so, anyway, very little time on the ground, that trip, and no museum time at all. I hope to remedy that somewhat as well -- we're staying right next door to the British Museum.

[justom.livejournal.com]

Apparently you saw the version with Jonathan Pryce and Sinead Cusack! Crazy. =)

[bedfull-o-books.livejournal.com]

The Pompeii room in the British Museum is awesome. There's a plate of bread and (I think) figs, carbonized. Someone's breakfast from 79 AD. It was kind of chilling....

Have so much fun.

[spwebdesign.livejournal.com]

Have a safe flight!

BTW, don't know if you'd be at all interested, but on Saturday I'm probably going to a new opera based on Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, if you two would like to come along.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Have a fantastic time!

[muffyjo]

Enjoy a sandwich at Pret a Manger for me! I do miss Pret. Have a wonderful time!

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Things I thought were awesome in London: The British Museum, The Globe Theater, the various palaces (particularly afternoon tea at The Orangery at Kensington Palace) and the food in general. I love me some fish and chips.

Also, the cheap candy bars you can get in England are so much better than the plastic crap Hersey and Nestle sell over here, it's absurd.

[mbarr.livejournal.com]

check to see if the rose theatre excavation is open. Right near the globe, and nifty. very quick, as it's under water :)
