[Brixton Hatter]

[sim667]

Yeah I'm up for this.

And sim667 's party after

When I get more details, Ill pass them on.

I dont think its a free party though, apparently they've booked it as a proper venue, but haven't been advertising it yet which I find surprising.

We are literally just doing the sound, not organising.

 

[Onket]

I can't actually go, but BUMP anyway.

 

[colacubes]

I'm hopefully going han and eme are too

 

[ska invita]

BUMP - might be up for this too - this Friday...

I'm going to come down for this, just trying to work out what trains to take (would rather book a fast virgin train in advance than get an open return on a slower train), although there's obviously no route, is there any regularity as to how far away from central London CM goes? Is there much chance I'll end up a long way from Euston?

usual circulates around central london IME, so you should be fine...

 

[Rebelda]

I might come to this

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I would go if it was a circular route and ended back on the south bank. oh well
Blow a whistle on my behalf

 

[ska invita]

forecast is not looking too good - hopefully its wrong

 

[toblerone3]

I would like to go. But not if its raining hard.

 

[Dogsauce]

If you're still going round at 10pm when my train gets in at Kings Cross I'll join in.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

still up for it…rain should clear up by 6 or 7pm….

 

[toblerone3]

I got soaked on my cycle ride back from Walthamstow. Decided not to go tonight. I am a fair weather critical masser. Next month yes.

 

[ska invita]

i iz damp. nice atmosphere + good turn out

Some pics from the ride here: http://www.urban75.org/blog/critica...-anniversary-with-a-huge-central-london-ride/

Can't believe it's been 20 years - I remember going on the first ones where it was seen by many as an extension of Reclaim The Streets so attracted extra-stroppy cops, apoplectic white van drivers and incandescent cabbies.

I couldn't make it on Friday, so thanks to eme for these photos.

Who else remembers the early Masses?

 

[disco_dave_2000]

definitely - used to go on them from mid-nineties until 2003

 

[sim667]

Ah, doing things like that is exactly why I want the job in london I've applied for, then maybe I can move to london.

 

[BigTom]

I really enjoyed it, was it much bigger than usual? I wish i'd sorted out a bed to stay in cos I had to leave at Piccadily Circus to get my train home, loved riding down the Mall and other places in such a huge group of cyclists, CMs up here are usually around 50-100 people in the summer and you just don't get a pack like there was on Friday.
