Yes, Mel has got it right - Harvey Nics wine bar at 1.30pm / 2.00pm on Sat 4th Oct. Attendance for B/F meets in London can vary widely (can often be very small) but I'm confident we'll get a reasonable crowd this time as quite a few have indicated to me offline that they will attend so, if even half do, it will be good.

In mid-Sept, I'll consider dining options if people would like an early evening meal. I have a perfect place in mind as it is reasonably priced, stylish, walking distance to Soho (for those who want to party later) and has an innovative ordering system which can be fun:

Ciaran, I will be travelling up to London to visit with Mel and while I am certain the restaurant you have in mind is amazing, is there somewhere nearby for those who cannot eat from their menu?

Yes. Not sure how well you know London but this restaurant is in Lower Regent Street so there is a tremendous range of food places within very close walking distances and catering to all price ranges and tastes - though, of course, it's best to be guarded of the tourist traps that abound in this part of London.

I'm happy to take alternative suggestions if this place doesn't appeal. The food here is good but, despite my Japanese sister-in-law and half-Japanese nephews, Japanese food would not be my first choice. However, I think this place could work well as the dining tables also combine as computer tablets through which you place your order and so on. Sounds a bit weird but it is good fun and good way for people to get to know each other.

Moving to London in just a week to study, going to live there for at least three years- I'm so exited!

Does anyone have any good recomendations on where to go an what to do there?

I have the London itch! It has been my dream to visit since I was a kid. I was even given a framed picture of the Tower of London when I graduated from HIgh School. I swore I would be there one day! Anyway, random ramble. What I am getting at is.... Im jealous!!!!! lol Have Fun Mel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve it :-)

For anyone who wants to come next Saturday, the following is the itinerary:

Harvey Nics Wine Bar (5th floor) from circa 1.30pm / 2.00pm but feel free to arrive anytime until around 4pm as will make sure we are still there by then. This is easy walking distance from Knightsbridge or Regents Park underground stations.

Inamo, Regents Street, 6pm. Note that, if you plan to attend the meal, please let me know by middle of week as I will need to confirm booking with the restaurant. The restaurant is very convenient to travel to from Harvey Nics - it is a short tube ride with no change required.

Later - likely onwards to a bar or club on Soho. Let's play it by ear. PM me for my phone no if you want to be kept in touch on this aspect.

Hi London!
There's a great film festival happening August 21-23, 2015 at the Cinema Museum in London. It kicks off at the British Film Institute on August 20, 2015.
Here's the info: http://woteverfilmfest.weebly.com/bf...ning-2008.html

I'm especially excited because I will be there! Three of my films will be showing, small parts of an amazingly broad program. Yay for butches and femme on film!

And don't miss the Female Masculinity Appreciation opening night party.

There is only one way to combat that jealously and it's pretty straightforward - make the trip over yourself
