As many of you may know, I’ve been in the UK for a couple of months, and I’ve got a couple more to go before jetting off to Europe in June and California in July.
On the first weekend of May I’ll be stomping around the mighty city of London and in between catching up with the 7 million kiwis who live there, I’d like to initiate the first Geobloggers in the Pub (calling it “Geologists in the Pub” would have set off my redundancy meter – but either will do). Before announcing official times and a location, I’d like to just get a show of hands from geologists or geo-interested persons who’d be willing to sit around a table in the mid afternoon in a pub in central-ish London on Saturday, May the 2nd.
Since it’ll be a podclasting weekend, I’m intending on doing a recording with whoevers there too, getting opinions on whatever geonews is around for 20-40 minutes. That’ll make it the first “live” podclast.
So, who’s up for drinks and some light conversation?

Me!

Man, that sounds like fun! Will be elsewhere, however. Maybe we could try to do one when you are in the US this summer.

Silver Fox: That’s the intention. I’ll be in California in late July, and Chris from Highly Allochthonous maybe in the US too. If the Twitterverse is anything to go by, somewhere called Eureka is being floated as a meeting point.

I’m based in London and relatively new to the geoblogosphere – count me in and keep me posted!

Sounds like a fantastic event. Wish I were going to be in London. If you ever come to NYC for one of these, count me in.

Hello.
2nd May is the date of the British Shell Collectors’ Club Convention in Theydon Bois Village Hall, out towards Epping Forest just NE of London (and on the Central Underground line).
During the day around 200 people from all over the UK and abroad will visit to display, swap and sell specimens and to chat about shells, molluscs, fossils, etc.
Why not pay it a visit – and maybe even have the Geobloggers in the pub event in one of the lovely old-fashioned pubs in the vicinity?
Just a thought… After all, the Mollusca provide many very important fossil representatives throughout the Phanerozoic.
