James Wallis levels with you
On Friday last week Kevan Davis and I met in Regents Park and did—simultaneously and not as it’s supposed to be done—the Klub Londinium ‘Mystic’ walk. It was a lovely evening, the temperature and mood were just right, and the experience was transfigurative. I’m still in the process of mustering my thoughts and forcing them [...]
A quick note—I am not dead, merely busy—to notify you that the final London Gamer Geeks meeting of 2007 is tomorrow night, Wednesday 28th November, at our usual venue downstairs at the College Arms on Store Street, from 6.30pm onwards. Special events this time include: SWAPSIES! Bring games you’ve finished to swap with others! See [...]
Short notice, I know, but tonight (Wednesday) the London Gamer Geeks are hosting a games quiz as part of the London Games Festival, with a host of exciting prizes and cake. We’re at our regular meeting place, downstairs at the College Arms on Store Street, and proceedings will probably kick off around 7.30 though you [...]
The London Gamer Geeks meeting for August will be on Wednesday 29th inst*. Once again we’re downstairs at the College Arms on Store Street, from 6.30 onwards, talking about all aspects of games from obscure video-game stuff to equally obscure tabletop stuff, and drinking. If Dan Hon and I get a chance we’ll be running [...]

So Hide and Seek the pervasive games festival happened over the weekend. It was a shame it was such a rainy, vile three days for it. But people seemed to have a good time regardless. And it was interesting to see a games event organised by a group with a primarily theatrical background rather than [...]
Mr Gideon Reeling invites your attendance at Hide and Seek, a festival of pervasive street games this weekend (11-13 May), in and around London’s south bank. I am led to believe it will be a hoot and a half. Nothing too brain-hurty and, I hope, not too much running involved either. I am not organising [...]
