London PAX Post-Party (Will the PAXing Ever End??)

This thread is now for the London Afterparty. I suggest Poet Bar again, because the guy there was pretty chill, and it has a good vibe (plus a pool table). I'll be back in Friday morning, so would be up for a Friday afternoon/evening drinks thing. Only thing is that it might be a bit packed with cityfolk, so we may want to consider alternatives.
Thoughts?

Tuesday, August 31
Pub quiz night and Wii at the Poet Bar!!
The Poet bar has a Wii, a quiz night, and 2-for-1 curries. Geek heaven.
This will be a chance for all London-based PAXers (and general PA folk) to get together for a bit of fun before we cross the pond. We'll be meeting up at a pub in east-central London for a night of drinking and quizzing

I don't know how many of us will be coming from London, but here's my idea for a London pre-party/PAX celebration.
I suggest an evening of fun and geekery on Tuesday, August 31. We can make it family-friendly or booze-friendly, depending on who is interested!
Personally, I'd be voting for finding a pub quiz somewhere around central London, and flexing our joint geeky brains.
Anyone out there up for this?

Don't worry, the trans-atlantic flights are easy. You'll need to go online to get your US visa waiver ahead of time, which should all be explained on your airline's website. PM me if you want more info
Here's a list of the Tuesday night quizzes
None of the central pubs they listed ring a bell. Anyone been to one of those before and have a preference?
Any of you going to the Pre-PAX bar crawl?
The Poet Bar looks perfect. They even have a Wii!! How could it get any better?
It is a short walk from Liverpool Street station, and has quiz night and some sort of curry 2-for-1 too!
Sad to see so many flying the US so early before PAX actually starts. I fly on the Thursday, always have to be honest.
Ah well, we may bump into each other at the show itself.
Also, I'll be walking around PAX in a yellow shirt with a UK flag on the arm, so come up to me and say hi
I'm currently still trying to sort out a visa to the States (i'm Nigerian born, but have lived in the UK for almost 12 years now, so require a visa) If i do get one, then i plan to fly out on Wednesday afternoon. Might be cutting it close, but will update with my plans closer to the time (visa decision depending)

Shame I don't think I'll be able to make it.
I'm flying out on the Wednesday with a mate, first time going to PAX can't wait.
Definitely. I'm hoping to make a little PAX community in the UK (since right now we seem pathetically under-represented!)
That would be quite awesome since I will be living in the UK for the next four years before returning back to the states. It's hard to find gamers in my program (or should I say programme? I'm dreading writing papers), and I love meeting fellow nerds.
The UK 'nerd' fraternity is quite vibrant I'll have you know, you just need to know where to look! A little off topic here Moe I know, so please forgive me! Don't move this post - PWEEEEZE!
Anyway if you're looking to hook up with fellow gaming nerds who reside in the Old World then you should pop along to the following:
Rllmuk - The UK's answer to NeoGAF only less elitist (not that hard really). They have regular meet ups across the UK.
EuroGamer - The hub around which many UK gamer's organise their gaming activities. They also have an expo in the autumn at the end of September. It is by no means PAX, but it's better than nothing.
Unified Gamers Network - A gathering of UK based podcasters that do their very best to uphold the spirit of video games with a very British bias.
There, now back to PAX - IT'S GREAT! REALLY IT IS! OH YES INDEEDY. I am going to this Pre PAX meet up thingy, I hope others are too, yes.....*I really hope that's enough to bring this thread topic back on target, it's either that or Mr Fwacky bans me for life*
Enjoy PAX and the Pre-PAX meetup and I will definitely try to make any others that I hear of!
Anyone want to do a Post-PAX night out in central London around Friday 10th? I'm sure I can find a few PAXers who don't post here to join.
Not meant as a thread jack, just seems this is the place for London PAX orientated meets. I can always start a thread if people are interested.
Also cheers for those websites, going to look into them.
I'm in for the 10th or 11th. We could hit a dim sum place on Saturday if people have friday night plans.
And I just invited myself to your Pre-Wizarding food meet too MelesMeles, so i'll see you there too.
Fixed that for ya.
