    As was said in the AET version of this thread, i'm in and the 29th is good for me.

    Birmingham or London?
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I don't know if we'd have enough in the midlands :o so maybe London? I don't know... what do ya think?
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love

    Well I can do either but i'll need plenty of notice for London.

    I agree that there may not be enough in the Midlands, I think we'll get a bigger crowd if we keep it to the capital then us few can travel down together? :)

    yeh, I think you're right... we may get up to 10 if we have it in the midlands but all the goodies might be a bit wasted then :D and we'd only make £100 :D

    Agreed. I think if we hold it in London we could get an almighty meet up and do this thing with style! :cool:

    I've text Dave about it. I'll let you know what he says too :)

    I am wondering whether it would be possible to do some kind of "Secret Santa". Everyone attending the meetup makes a donation of any amount in Laura's name, and then receipts for the donation are exchanged at the meetup?

    This strikes me as the simplest way to do it?

    how did i ever miss this thread?! :o
    been chatting about this awhile in PMs...no iudea there was a thread for it.


    i really like the idea of doctors without borders, but as you said.....could be that every locality chooses their own charity as beneficiary?


    no matter what, gathering together pj fans and raising $$$ for a charity laura supported....i can think of no more fitting tribute in her honor, such an amazing and giving woman...so smart and ridiculously funny.

    personally, i think december would work better, especially for those of us in the states. many os us already have the VFC screening next week, and then a major holiday at the end of the month, not much free time imo. if we have it all more around her sad anniversary 12.08.08.......before or after, but within the first 2 weeks to steer cleer of the december holidays, i think it would be good.


    i will definitely ask around some NYers for tips, pointers, suggestions for places, going about involving a charity, etc.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Thank you :) that would be brilliant. I don't think it really matters when it's held... the most important thing is that we make some money :) I think Laura'd be proud of us if we could do that.
