london geek dinner/pubcrawl with scoble and winer, 7.00pm Dec 7th
Robert Scoble and Dave Winer are in London on the 7th, so we’re all throwing a geek dinner.
The Coach & Horses
29 Greek Street,
Soho
London, W1V 5LL, UK
7.00pm
[C&H’s Facebook Page here.]
It’s in the upstairs restaurant. To get there you have to go behind the bar and up the stairs, so tell the barstaff when you arrive that you’re there for the geek dinner etc.
The deal is, everyone pays £15 per head when they get there. There’s an upstairs cash bar and some sponsored Stormhoek Blue Monster wine.
Since I hinted about it last week, about 40 people have put already their names down via e-mail. We’ve got room for a dozen or so more.
It’s not a very big restaurant [securing a big space in London is IMPOSSIBLE during December, because of all the Christmas parties], but if you fancy coming, please drop me an e-mail and I’ll see what I can do to fit everybody in. Thanks.
[UPDATE:] As the restaurant is FAR TOO SMALL to accommodate everyone, the good news is, there’s going to be a photowalk/pubcrawl afterwards. So the alternate plan would be to turn up around 9.30 and start hitting some more pubs. I’ll continue hanging at the C&H till the end, but I might join the posse later on for last orders or something.
[UPDATE:] The restaurant bit is full up. Dang, didn’t take long. But feel free to turn up for the pub crawl, if you’re in the neighborhood. Apologies, Thanks.
Next time we’ll book a bigger place, well in advance. Right, Robert?
Should be a fun evening. Rock on.

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
Yay! I’ll bring my little badge machine, so I can make badges from little cartoons! They’ll be all the rage! heh.
gwaaaann!
Damn and triple darn. I learnt yesterday that I will be on the slab (operating table) on 6th, so will miss out on this occassion.
Bummer.
Please take loadsa photos and someone please buy John Dodds, Steve Clayton and Hugh a beer on my behalf. I will reimburse at some later event.
Hell I’m bummed that I will not be there.
Have fun, get bladdered and have a Merry Xmas too.
Sounds more than a little cool. One ticket pls.
Would love to grab a spot on the geek dinner
As for the photowalking — count me in

hm too sad that’s already full.
greets
There’s a great walk (and great photo opps) round soho and china town. Greek Street — Soho Square — Carnaby Street — Golden Square — Brewer Street — Gerrard Street. Mail me for more details.
I cover some of these walks in my podcast “thisweekinlondon”. Check out http://www.thisweekinlondon.co.uk for shows.
Is this going to be a photowalk or a pub crawl? Robert seems to think it’s a photowalk, but this seems to suggest it’s a pub crawl
Assuming you are going photowalking, I assume it’s meeting at 9.30pm at the Coach and Horses?
Been itching to do a photowalk since reading about the concept on Robert’s blog. Geekery AND photography? Two of my favourite dishes — count me in for the walk/crawl/shuffle
Looking forward to seeing everyone 2nite …
