It may have escaped some people's attention that PovCon London took
place last night.
President for Life, Doc John, opened proceedings by buying a pint for
himself since there was no-one else there. Some minutes (hours?) later
the [dis]Honourable Treasurer and Keeper of Small Acronyms turned up and
accepted a pint of Kronenbourg.
The following motions were passed:
1. The peeling paint problem (see TdG's posts in p.b.i.) needs thinking
about. Call the committee in about five years.
2. The [dis]Honourable Treasurer is, from henceforth, to be addressed as
Stevie. Please do not confuse this nomenclature with Stevie Nicks, who
is much better looking and can also sing.
3. Asking the President for Life about his offspring is guaranteed to
cure insomnia.
Oh, nearly forgot, some whisky was consumed

The sad consideration comes to mind that the Right Honourable President
for Life /himself/ has to send out the minutes of this highly important
meeting. Obviously, the PfL is lacking the competent help of a Right
Honourable Secretary. Not having the competences required nor the wish
to aspire to such an elevated function, the undersigned member of PovCon
Europe would propose the Right Honourable and Esteemed Member Jim
Henderson for that function. Undersigned deem it necessary however, to
submit said Esteemed member to statutory balloting in the most
democratic tradition, the results of which need be weighted against the
type of whisky said Esteemed Member is partial to.

Bloody Ada! I thought it was a secret society.
The proposal for Mr James Henderson is duly noted but it should be
pointed out that the coffers of the Great British branch of PovCon do
not run to expenses. I depleted them last night getting a hackney cab to
the Three Tuns, a place of some disrepute. More on that later.
What the (far) Right Honourable gentleman has forgotten due to his
dotage. Is that when his term in office expires, so does he. Unfortunate
but there it is (we have had trouble in the past and that is the best
solution we have come up with). This term of office might become vacant
soon if the Right Honourable gentleman does not stop taunting the callow
youth of this fair country by playing his telephonic ring tone to
demonstrate that he is a supporter of an opposing football team.
(Woops!, I, need, to, up, my, comma, count,.)
Let it also be known that I will continue to use my nom de guerre here
and in other places to avoid confusion.
Now back to why I was only three minutes early at the Three Tuns.
For those who remember Steve Paget (St) his name lives on in his
grandson. I spoke to his son last night and his child is a healthy ten
months old and is called Steve, too.
Endit.

And, of course, the expenses for this particular member's journey to the
event would be considerable, as he is not in fact in Europe, but the
American Pacific Northwest. ;)

You can still write up the minuets even if you can't take them.
Surely it can't be that hard?

Well, you did have whisky. That's in the minutes - or the minuets. ;)

Actually, that's not a bad idea - how many POVers are here in the PNW -
Seattle, for example, or Portland?

Well *somebody* clearly forgot to send me an invitation to the previous
PovCon London: Seattle Gathering.
In seriousness, I have a pretty busy summer, but June 6th or 7th would
work well for me if it also works for you and Jim.

I, of course, will be unable to attend - London Underground have not
seen fit to extend the Tube lines out to the village of Seattle.
However, I hope you two get it together. Don't forget that you are
allowed only one (1) on-topic item on the agenda - discussion of Pov
personalities counts as off-topic.

June 7 probably works better for me. Are you on the west side of the
lake (sounds like you probably are)?
Anyone else in the area?

Yeah, I'm in Seattle proper. Something I could easily bus to would be
ideal, but I'm perfectly willing to drive somewhere if that's easier of
other folks.
Any ideas for where? I know a few good beer-places and a few good
whiskey / cocktail places (mostly in Capitol Hill, Downtown, Fremont,
and Ballard areas), but I don't know what you and Stephen like to drink,
and I'm sure you have your own places you like.

We've only been here since February, so I mostly know places right in my
immediate area.
But I'm always game for a drive, too. :)
I've found that I quite like Paddy Coyne's here in Bellevue. My wife's
got friends in the Ballard area, though, and has been a couple places
with them that she quite liked - The Sexton and McHugh's.
I think Stephen will very likely be attending in absentia, since he's in
the UK. :)
For what I like to drink - it's flexible. I don't mind a beer now and
again, but I usually go for a G&T or occasionally a whisky. Sometimes a
margarita. There are a couple other cocktails we make here - a green tea
drink with bourbon.

I will attend in spirit. But as John mentioned we are waiting for the

Ohhh, I misread Stephen as saying "And *we* haven't met up? Shame on
you.". It all makes much more sense now, particularly since I was
wondering why I had thought I remembered that Stephen was from the UK
when he apparently lived in Seattle.

It sounds like most places should work then unless you're particularly
picky about your gin choices. I haven't been to any of the places you
mentioned (except for a different Paddy Coyne's in South Lake), but The
Sexton looks pretty interesting and Ballard has other good places nearby
walking distance if needed.

I'm not too picky about my gin choices - I have been meaning to try a few
others out... so that could work. What do we think, 7-ish on the 7th,

7ish on the 7th sounds like an auspicious time, so that works for me!

I'll put it on my calendar. :) Looking forward to it!
As we get nearer, we'll figure out the best way to identify each other

LOL - I don't think that's going to happen. The ponytail has been around
for nearly 20 years. I have considered cutting it off since leaving
Utah, but that day hasn't occurred yet.

I'll probably just wear a tie-dye bandana and a shirt with a giant
spider on it, so that way I'll probably be pretty hard to miss.

Probably a black xkcd shirt of some sort - I'm partial to the "I'm not
slacking off, my code's compiling" shirt with the swordfight panel on the
back.

Sounds easy enough to spot. Hopefully the fact that this is in Seattle
doesn't make false positives too likely.

I'll also be the one sporting the blond (nearly white, these days)
ponytail. :)

And a good time was had by all! I do wish I hadn't been quite so late -
or had known about the bike race taking place that made parking a bit of
a pain, but that was a lot of fun.
Definitely need to find a time to do that again, schedules permitting. :)
