I'll probably be able to come to that.  I can't make London, but I wan't to meet with people who actually know what they're doing before I break my pjs again...

Well it wasn't really the pjs that broke.  The white plastic spring protecting things (not quite sure what they're supposed to be called...) fell out.  The problem was that one of the ones behind the spring fell out and got snapped in half.  I had to get them replaced, and then learn how to do that, so I missed they're debut performance at a uni event.  Now I'm paranoid about any strange noise in case something like that happens again.  I just figure that if I'd meet someone who knew what they were doing I'd have known to look out for something like that happening.

Plus it'd be good to meet any other bockers, I appear to be the only one in York.

I think I'll definately be there.  I will have to resist the urge to bring all my toys...Anyone ever tried unicycling while wearing pjs? 

...Well I might bring one staff...

I'll need to watch that.  I'll give unicycling a go at some point, but I really should get better at using them normally first.

Do we know of anyone else wanting to join us yet?  Or is everyone bocked out after London?

Looks like you'll be getting a couple of JJ's coming along to this too.  That's BmthBloke and myself.  Maybe even Sprog, if we can tear him away from his PC.

hey guys, just got back off of my camp, goin to 2days of archery tomorrow, so away again for a bit, in a tent again, i hope the rest of the london meet went well, i had to run off, the camp leader called and had a go :( but thats life, im glad there is a lot of interest for this meet, i have no deffined route atm, but its a big shopping town, so theres no end of open places to show off, mebe some one can give me advice on flips!

im aiming for a mid-day meet at the train station, should be easy enough to find for people, plus theres a big carpark just over the road for those that are driving.
