Wonderful Review, adrienne! (Reply to this comment)

I envy your being at the London Epinions M & G. London is my first and favorite World City.

If I'm so handsome, why didn't I get a hug.

Hmm, maybe I did!

For some of us, you Meet and Greet Attendees in particular, Epinions does not seem so much an avocation as a way of life!

Haven't gotten around to reviewing that book, but I shall. I did read it.

Have lot's of fun in London, and don't let the the Hangman's Ghost catch you unawares!

Love.

Good promotion on the London M&G, partner!

Yes, the London Eye is really good, and you get a great view of the city, and in particular the Houses of Parliament.

If you go, try to get tickets the day before you "fly" - it's a busy place on a weekend!

I'm certainly looking forward to our get together, whether it becomes official or not.

Yep. I definitely felt like déja vu.

If a page is created for the London M&G, I certainly will; however, there will very likely be a 3-4 week delay in posting since it will be that long before I return home.

Huzza.

I wish we lived closer too! It did seem like we had met before in real life, didn't it? You're so easy to talk to. Terrific review - you recounted our time together at Gordon Biersch in detail just as I remember it...and more!

Wish I'd planned our Great Britain trip just a little later. Well, you'll have to tell us all about it!

Yep. Stephen said he'd give the Crow trilogy a shot. It will be interesting to hear what he says.

I'm not familiar with this space wheel thing is you're talking about and finding it Proxam's member page is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I was thinking of leaving London on Sunday, but I might be able to put that off a day. I just don't want to interfere with your honeymoon.

BTW, when you go to Scotland, the Royal Mile in Edinburgh is an awesome place to see, especially if you want to do a little Scottish shopping. Anyone planning to go Edinburgh in August should plan their lodgings immediately, because every available room is likely booked for the festival.

See you in London!

Having an agenda certainly helped me put a focus on this writeup. Now I need come up with one for London.

We actually came out a bit lucky on the parking too. We were supposed to be charged $2.50 for the additional 15 minute segment we took, but the attendent gave us a pass. We went to the Metreon afterwards and saw Robots. The Imax theatre there is a dud compared to the one at the Tech Museum. There it's a real experience.

Hope you enjoy the books.

The people at work are so sick of me raising my hands in excitement over going to London again. There is no doubt I'm looking forward to seeing everybody there. Now that fixed the darn html coding on this darn review, I'm feeling even better.

Ooooh Stephen is reading the Crow trilogy now? I can't wait to read his reviews on them!

I should have asked you what else you had available that day. heh.

Can't wait for London! I wanna do that space wheel thingy that Proxam reviewed awhile back... maybe we can do that together on Sunday...?

I didn't realize how extensive an agenda you had!

The supply of garlic fries was, of course, replenished periodically.

I had better (best?) parking luck: a free space 4 spaces up Harrison from the bldg.

I started the (first) Crow book before going to Hawai'i and should have taken it along, but was enjoying it and will resume it, reassured of an ethnological matter (about vision quests).

Thanks and have a great time in London!

Thanks. With all of the problems I had posting this darn thing I need a good hug. It still needs a lot of html repair, but I'll do it tomorrow when I have access to a better system.
