Just a quick reminder that the next Voynich pub meet is set for 4pm this very Sunday (i.e. 5th September 2010) at the Prospect of Whitby, 57 Wapping Wall, London E1W 3SH. Though plenty of Voynicheros are hoping to come along, as always we’ll just have to see who manages to get there on the day…

Incidentally, if for some random reason – you know, pub cat trapped beneath an unexploded WWII bomb, that kind of thing – the Prospect of Whitby turns out to be closed when we get there, Plan B is to meet up at the nearby Town of Ramsgate pub (also on the Thames), while Plan C is Captain Kidd‘s (also on the Thames, but not as historical as Plans A & B).

Chances are Plan A should be fine, but I thought I’d mention the others just in case. Hope to see you there! 🙂

    Hello All,

    I am wondering if it might be technologically simple to bring along a cam so that your cousins on the other side of the pond might listen in as a “gadfly”?

    Regards,

    Dana Scott

  2. I have a face for radio and can be damaging to recording apparatus

  3. Dana: I’ll see if there’s anything I can do for this, but will try to remember to turn it off after the second pint, or we’ll all start talking in EVA. 🙂

    Marke: As long as you remember not to order beer in Currier A, you should be OK. 🙂

  4. I hope all the contributors to any recording get editing rights before publication?

    I’m worried that after the second pint of “Ye (thorn) Olde country scrotob” I might let slip the secret of the solution……better stick to shandy 🙂

  5. Marke: in a London pub? More likely to find Wrongbow and Stella, the patriarchal self-administered poisons of choice.

  6. Hi! I’d like to remind those in attendance of my VMs PDFs. I just made some changes, and while I haven’t made a full printout, I’ve printed Q14 and it looks all right. I’d be interested in hearing anyone’s thoughts!

  7. Hey Nick: Here’s a thought: Perhaps someone could set up a Meebo, Skype or Oovoo account, and keep a laptop sitting on the table, video running while facing your group as you talk. That way, many of us could log on, and watch the discussion, even though we could not make it. In fact we could type in comments… it would be everything but the warm ale and stale cigar smell for us. Rich.

    I’m “proto57” on Meebo & Skype and “Rich SantaColoma” on Oovoo.

  8. Oh! I see Dana suggested the same thing! Like minds…

    Anyway, it would be great if someone wants to do this. Rich.
