I must say I’m starting to get excited about the prospect of being trapped on the Roof with the likes of you. Resistance is futile, but at least there will be Beer. As always, a stonking big thanks to Mendeley for their generous sponsorship.
We still have 18 places left, so if you’re a science blogger, twitterer or otherwise spend way too much time in the scientific virtual sphere, do consider joining in on the fun! And spread the word: the hashtag is #fringefriv10.
Everything you need to know about the event, including how to register, can be found on the FringeFriv forum topic on Nature Network. (Please don’t try to register on this comment thread, or my head will start spinning and smoking like one of those robots that Captain Kirk was always able to annihilate by sheer logic.)
Here’s who’s on the list so far. If you can no longer make it, please drop me a line.
Jennifer Rohn
Richard Grant
Frank Norman
Matt Brown
Steffi Suhr
David Kavanagh
Lou Woodley
Eva Amsen
Erika Cule
Joe Dunkley
Martin Fenner
Austin Elliott

Alexander Knoll

Mark Hahnel

Looking forward to it.
And I’ll use this opportunity to bargepole in a plug for another fringe event: a free trip to the Diamond Light Source synchrotron on the Thursday evening. Book here
M@, would love to attend the Thu. evening event, but cannot make it.
Here’s a reminder of my mash up (of events) from #solo09 though starting with shots from #fringefriv09

Oooh. Lots of cool people I really want to meet.
And Richard Grant.
Who is the coolest of all the cool people?
I thought Steffi wasn’t coming until Saturday? Or is she there Friday night? [hopeful...]
Is it cooler to be cool, or quirky?
I think it depends on the direction and amplitude of the quirk.
Kirk never annihilated with logic, he used charm and a schmoozey smile (with an ample peppering of gumption)
Looking forward to the Fringe…
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this point, Jim. I distinctly recall at least two episodes when he talked several robots into blowing themselves up because their actions were conflicting in internal logic.
Now the female aliens…that’s another question entirely.
Sigh. Once again I must apologize for having to miss this most excellent event. I’ll have to wait for the video I suppose.
Do enjoy yourselves, you lot.
So when are you visiting London?
Yeah, the bastard owes me a drink.
@RPG – at least one.
I’ve been hoping to visit London again for years now (last there in, um, er… 2006?). Sadly, travel budgets ain’t what they used to be, and I don’t get to the DECIPHER meeting at the Sanger any more (easy side-trip into London from there). Sigh.
