Well, it was partly due to having nowhere to stay, but I've requested the train ticket 
now, so it's too late to change my mind. Thanks for the offer, though.

If this is because you don't have somewhere to stay on the Thursday night,
I'm sure we can collectively find a way around that.  If you bring your
passport, we'll even let you south of the river and my sofa is very
comfortable and has a well-stocked booze cabinet next to it.

Ooh, goody. People at work (who fortunately will be paying for me to go to
yapc::Europe again this year) have said they'll want to start to get down
details. Probably better to book hotel, travel, etc. *after* I register for
the conference, or I might end up travelling to AMS for nothing.

Cheers,

Well, er..., there will be a meeting on the 21st. I spoke to Alex last 
night and he said we could hold it at State 51.

We'll start at about 7pm and people will be practiving TPC and YAPC::E

Thanks about it for planning so far!

Can someone please remind me about the technical meeting on the 21st? Now that it 
looks like I might be in London at the time, I find I've deleted all the relevant 
messages and can't remember if there's an archive.
