[pagan] Synergy Community Gathering

[helenic]

Anyone want to come along to this with me? The usual suspects are all occupied elsewhere this weekend, it seems... I'm doing a shoot in Nottingham and won't be getting back in until 5.30pm, so I'd want to head out to this lateish, say 9/10ish. I really want to go, and I don't want to go on my own. Would be lovely if any of you were free?

Oooh. I was kinda vaguely interested maybe.. then I spied Barefoot Doctor, and my interest has notched up several levels! I'm going to have to figure out what else I'm doing, there was some sort of gardening plan for Saturday and games for Sunday, but I might squeeze this in.

If I fail to get back to you, do feel free to prod me for a definite answer later in the week.

It would be lovely if you could make it! I'm not going to go if I can't find company, and if we're not getting there til 9 and paying £10 to get in it'd be nice to stay for more than a couple of hours, although that won't be easy without chemical assistance. I still wouldn't want to stay out all night though. Let me know when you do :)

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

I would aim to get there for 8 to catch the talk, but yeah. The later stuff sounds good and worth staying for, but no all-nighter cos of Sunday plans.

I will probably work out whether to go or not tomorrow.

If I had the energy I'd jump at the chance - it sounds wonderful.

Alas, I do not. But I hope you find someone friendly and lovely to go with. :-)

Fantastic as your company would have been, you must take care of yourself, lovely.

I should see you soon, though. Must find out when Marcus is going to see your panto so I can get myself a ticket for that night :)

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

He's going on the 14th, with others (Nick, Laura, Robert W) - tickets already booked. It may be sold out for that night.

M'dear, you probably want to check out this post of mine (http://mirabehn.livejournal.com/435718.html), as it explains things, and fill out the poll there. I'll probably need to buy a ticket for you, is why. I'd also beseech you to go a different night from the 14th just because a spread of lovely people over the run would make me indescribably happy. But that's just me being selfish and if there are any seats left on the 14th and you want to go then you should feel free to do so!

Oh the debate looks good. Wish I could make it :(

[libellum.livejournal.com]

You will be missed! Best of luck with the storytelling though, you'll be fabulous :)

I want to come, but am not free :*(

I've been all about the social bunny recently, need to do more hippy things to redress the balance.

[squiddity.livejournal.com]

Are you interested in this? (http://www.londonist.com/archives/2006/11/druids_coming_o.php)
Tonight?

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Oooh, maybe. I need to go to N4 to pick up some sculptures, but possibly after that? Say 8-9ish?

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Boo. You do need to do more hippy things. You need to come with me and help me dance like a loon and mock the fluffies. It NEEDS DOING.
