I'll arrive in Brighton around 18:30, so I'll be at the pub between 19:00 and 19:30, and I hope some to meet some other people there. Everybody who's already there by that time will have the ineffable honour of watching me eat my dinner. See you! OK, the Earth and Stars it is.

I agree that somewhere central would be best and I've been racking my brains trying to think of somewhere that's central and nice. Here's my suggestion: The Earth and Stars. You'll find it listed on the d.Construct location page, under the Free WiFi heading: http://2006.dconstruct.org/location/ It's a nice place, it's got WiFi, it has organic beer(!), and it's quite central. They also very nice food: http://flickr.com/photos/adactio/202697167/ I'm not sure how late they serve food 'till, though. Oh, and they get extra accessibility brownie points: http://flickr.com/photos/adactio/202697001/in/photostream/ They have an upstairs room that can be reserved (for no charge, if I recall). We had a Firefox one year anniversary party there... yeah, we're geeks. If it looks like there's going to be enough people to warrant booking the room, and somebody wants to organise it, the number is 01273 722 879.

I'd suggest meeting somewhere vaguely central on the Thursday night, such as Hope (a bar on the road, down from the station, on the right) - from there the food+drinking can begin! I'd suggest a nicer pub, but I'm thinking of something easy to find to begin with! I’m a Brighton resident, and happy to step up and organize the drinking!

Was thinking the same. Count me in (if your counting) and if anyone has any ideas about where to go I guess most of us invaders will just follow them! Aye. Was thinking the same.
