January London Hacker News Meetup

Will be interesting to see how this event is received by the community as it is the first charged (£6) event.

£6 is a bargin. Worth it for Sanderson Jones's Start Up Stand Up alone: http://vimeo.com/54188797

I discovered Sanderson at the last HN Meetup and last month I went to see his show, It was brilliant!

I highly recommend that if you are in London you go see his show :)

That speech was simply amazing.

I'd like to attend but holding it on a Thursday makes it tricky (not being from London). Maybe consider doing Fridays/weekends in future? I suppose that might make venues more expensive?

More expensive yes but the main reason it's on a Thursday is simply because it's the most appropriate day according to our members. Most of our attendees have family/personal commitments on Fridays & weekends.

Anyone else find it ironic that it's being held at an all-male establishment?

Just because it is a school for boys doesn't necessarily mean that it is "all male" - they might have female members of staff.
