Saturday 26th March - March for the Alternative

[sebastienne]

Right everyone; who's marching on Saturday? Who's traveling from Oxford and wants to get the train with me? Who can suggest somewhere in London that we can meet up? Should I bring my huuge UNISON banner and, if I do, who will help me wield it?

I want a party. Let's sing Indelicates songs - I propose Jerusalem^*. Or not, perhaps, but in spirit, eh? (I wonder if this march will make me stop feeling the truth of Savages^* quite so horrifically harshly?) God, why are the Indelicates so great? (This post may have drifted slightly from its intended content. But seriously.)

That Jerusalem video is AMAZING.

I'll be along, natch, but in a meet you there way.

And in answer to your question, it's because they listened to a lot of Luke Haines.

I'm with you there and in spirit. Maybe not Another Brick in the Wall, won't work this time either!

I'll be there. I'm travelling to Embankment with a delegation from London's unfashionable Haringey, but will happily attempt to meet up with anyone else who wants to.

The vague idea I'd had was to meet with anyne who wanted by the King's Building on the Strand at about 11.30 to 12 and then walk down to joint he end rather than turn up for 11 when everyone is faffing into organsing into the TU groups. Not least because no one else from king's seems to be going so I'd rather group with any friends and family i can round up.

We are expecting an hour of faff before any marching starts, then? I had wondered about that, assuming that faff-time might scale up from other marches I've been on.

What's the King's Building, how would I identify it, and where's its nearest tube station?

So.. this place (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=king%27s+college+london+&sll=51.523434,-0.134125&sspn=0.011508,0.033045&ie=UTF8&hq=king%27s+college+london&hnear=&ll=51.51542,-0.117502&spn=0.023074,0.077162&t=h&z=14&iwloc=A)?

I'll bring a contingent from Oxford, and email some London friends as well.. just let me know!

Yes that is the place I mean! Sorry been distracted with evil teeth. The side on the strand has lots of pictures of alums, if we meet there at 12 and go down to embankment? I hopefully willhave a small bannerette. Can't wait to see you.

Can I link this to some other people likely to be coming down from Oxford? Larper type friend of mine, looking for company?

[sebastienne.livejournal.com]

Sure, absolutely! (Would that be spawnofweevil, by any chance?)

Hey! Plan for us is looking like 'meet at screenface, possibly buy too much facepaint, start walking'. Probably around 12.30 or so. Welcome to come along.
http://marchforthealternative.org.uk/march-logistics/ are the official plans!

*grin* I always forget which of y'all know each other.

Hopefully see you there. Not currently making concrete plans cos a) I'm ill and b) I have a major audition the next day, but I'll let you know if I'm gonna be around.

Had been um-ing and ah-ing, but probably will go. I would like to meet up with some people though, so let me know if you have a gathering point.

I'm not (outside=bad), but james and kit are - i'm sure they'd be more than glad to hook up. And if you want a party, i'm sure sputnik could indulge you after the march.

[sebastienne.livejournal.com]

Sadly I'm otherwise engaged (kettling notwithstanding), but otherwise that would have been awesome, thanks! Can't believe that it's almost 3 years since I've seen you...

We're likely going to be trying to congregate with spawnofweevil and/or arachnekallisti, but I'll keep an eye open for anything sebastienney I see. :)

If you're travelling from Oxford, we plan to get on the 10.01 train. If not, hope you have a great march!
