Well, I'm up for a pub crawl pre-meetup scouting expedition this Friday evening, if we really want to do our research and get this right.</html>

Right. I trawled round some pubs near Barbican and Farringdon stations last night with a companion in tow, and here's what we reckon.
Both the Rising Sun and the Sekforde Arms weren't too busy, and I think we'd have no trouble carving out a space for ourselves if people started arriving between 6:30 and 7.

Or just PayPal/whatever some cash to a local (trusted) Designated Organiser for each location, who can then spend it on rounds / set up a tab / whatever at the chosen local establishment.
The thought of celebrating MetaFilter at a hotel bar makes me sad.

Apparently this thing she put on me is "halfway between a gel and a wax."
I feel so pretty right now.

It has to be said, I cranked up my narcissism all the way last night, and everyone said they had the best time ever. Pretty dramatic, huh?

Amazon code for WP?
