Zaphod: travel from Maastricht to London and back should be pretty cheap as well, you really should check on that (as well as other nearby airfields), you might be pleasantly surprised.

heh if it's the 9th, maybe I could show up  ... week is probably impossible for me (but you never know), Saturday is the best.
just agree on the date, and than I should be able to tell...

I think we pretty much settled on the 8th, that's what Zop and I have based our plans on anyway...
But it'd be great if you could come: we'd have the winners of all 3 football predictions competitions (UC, CL and combo) together and could celebrate our victories

Fair enough, I have noticed the crap prices myself...now it actually seems to be cheaper for me to go to Manchester and fly to Schiphol rather than catch the ferry...seems crazy that going half the distance in the other direction and coming all the way back is actually cheaper 
But I will be there at the meeting nonetheless...

Yeah, it's weird how that works. I'll actually be paying like 3 times more on the train ticket from Eindhoven to my home town of Hengelo (~100 km) than I'll be paying for the flight from London to Eindhoven (~400 km).
And then to think that I'm getting a 50% student discount on that train ticket as well...

Well, if all you are looking for is a pit to crash out in, suggest you enter LONDON BACKPACKER into Google and take your pick. Most seemed to be based around Victoria.
Have fun folks. Sorry, can't make it to the meet... but am happy to help with suggestions to sort out problems / ways to have fun.
EDIT: One suggestion for something to do in "the evening"... Escape from Samsara, The Fridge, Brixton. Don't worry, it's only 5 minutes walk from the Tube along the main road - if you are in a group you will be fine.
Did this journey lots on my own when I was a VJ.
Big Crunch, no death metal. Trance/Techno - very laid back crew.
Here's the site
Whatever you do, DON'T GO TO BAGLEYS!!! (Is it still open? I hope not.)
AWFUL, AWFUL BAGLEYS...
Will look around for a "free" party - but don't hold your breath, they're not easy to find so far away from the date.

Trance/Techno sucks as much as Death Metal for a club
VJ? Is that like a video DJ? the one with the satin baseball jacket everywhere he goes?

I'm not even convinced the event still exists - it's just the one that popped into my head.
Satin jacket? It would be trashed after one show! Most obvious thing is carrying 40 pouinds of bulky equipment.
Portable multimedia = far too many cables.

Who needs a wig? I've got the real thing.
You seem to have a good grasp of what a VJ does anyway... sensory overload. So yes, my job was to help destroy people's brain cells by putting up dynamic visuals involving sugar coated mindless garbage.
They went down very well with the crowd.

Perhaps he wants it for sex? Just a wild guess... What beats me is why he wants to buy it in the West End of London - EXPENSIVE.

I don't look at it that way. I say "Why am I so poor?" and then try and do something about it. A bit more constructive.
