Some stuff I want to do, do you?

[cdave]

I've spent lunch time sorting out plans for the coming month or so. Let me know if you're interested in any of the below.

Avenue Q, the adult musical version of sesame street finishes it's long west end run in March, so I'd like to go see it before it goes. Cheap tickets seem to run out by February. The cheapest January ones I've seen so far are £20 for the Friday 23rd matinee but I can't make that. So £30 {edit: Looks like £25 should be possible} on another evening. Anyone interested?

On Friday the 23rd I'm planning to go to Shunt. An nightclub cum art venue under the vaults at London Bridge. Since a mate will be doing circus stuff there that week.

I read jabberworks's LJ for three reasons. Firstly she's a brilliant illustrator, whose daily doodles are simply fantastic. Secondly she draws one of my favourite DFC strips. Thirdly she really has her fingers on the pulse of the UK small press scene.

Alternative Press Fair, Euston, Sunday 1st February 2009, 12pm to 6pm.
I think I'll aim for around 2ish.

St. Jude's Gallery
Details: Mon, 2 Feb, 6-8pm opening; exhibition runs until Thurs, 12 Feb.
Bankside Gallery, 48 Hopton Street, London SE1 9JH. Open every day from 11am-6pm.
Anyone work near the South Bank and feel like having a look one lunch time?

I can't make late night Science Museum or the BSFA's Michael Swanwick Interview on Thursday 28 January, as they clash with a Karaoke thing I'm going to with a few mates from a previous Job. Grr. In fact they both seem to be on the last Wednesday of the month.

I want to go see Yes Man, but suspect it'll be out of the cinema's soon, so have probably missed the boat on trying to organise that one.

You should be able to get cheaper tickets for Avenue Q ... for example DiscountTheatre.com has upper circle tickets for the 24th of February at £22.50, same for 3rd of March (and the 4th, 6th, 10th-12th, etc. according to their site)

If you can do matinees (and you probably can't) then you can get 2for1 deals from the Days Out leaflet available at Waterloo (you need to have a train ticket to get the cheap deal I believe)

And being up in Cambridge I can't make many London plans at the moment ... perhaps when my lodger leaves, and I have a place I can stay in London again.

Excellent. I thought there had to be better deals out there. Cheers.

Um. Not excellent that you can't make it though. Have been keeping up cycling through the cold snap?

[the-magician.livejournal.com]

No, only did the little bit while I was out in the wilds of Coveney during the Autumn, and haven't cycled since I moved down into more central Cambridge. Something I will rectify as soon as either the evenings brighten or I get some time to practice when it's not dark+cold+wet.

Soon, I hope!

Can get down to London occasionally, so if you start to think of particular days for Avenue Q etc. then let me know and I'll see what I can rearrange.
