Midlands

[Richard]

I mentioned this on the OT list recently, but are there any 
Midlanders/Brummies out there? The TLC-plugged "meetup" on the 20th 
has generated a dozen or so people, but they're all kids and I have 
no real intention of being labelled a pervert by onlookers. 

I find it dirfficult to believe that the Second City hasn't managed 
to spawn any other adult HPFGUers, so if anyone's up for going out on 
Firday evening and picking up the book in Waterstone's or WHSmith 
(both Waterstone's branches and the WHSmith in central Birmingham are 
oepning at midnight); also Ottakar's in Sutton is opening as well, if 
that's more convenient...

I had hoped at one time that I might make it to London for the 
launch, but that is now definitely off the cards.
