Tech meet book fair
I've a bunch of pop-psych and skeptic type books idling on my shelf. Anyone interested in browsing and making an offer on Thursday night?

Dim sum is also in paddington this week, so if you're CFT enabled, make an afternoon of it!

London.pm Dim Sum Pearl Liang Thursday 1pm
Time to go west again and to Pearl Liang near Paddington station, seeing as the social meeting also on Thursday is actually *in* Paddington station at the Mad Bishop and Bear: http://london.pm.org/pipermail/london.pm-announce/2009-June/000152.html London.pm dim sum is a social event where we meet up every Thursday at 1pm at a different Chinese restaurant, spend about an hour (and about £10 cash) eating tasty dim sum (steamed and fried dumplings), then go our separate ways.
