Dear Leo

I've been trying to decide whether to go to the funeral tomorrow and I think I probably will (even though it seems unlikely that there will be space inside the cathedral - according to the Fall messageboard they're advising people to arrive at 10am to have any chance of getting in). I'll be coming up on the train from London.

I was wondering if you'd had any replies to your email to the Peel list, and if you'd made any plans. Like you say, it would be good to get together and swap stories...

thanks,

Sam

I'll be going, travelling up from London on Friday morning. I can't offer Tom a lift, though, as I'm biking it and don't have a helmet to spare. It's bound to be a very sad day, but it would be good to get together and swap Peel stories.

I feel the same way. And for me it is last minute, costly, and quite a journey, but I have decided to attend. All the way from Atlanta. The last minute fares I looked up were well over a thousand. But I rolled the dice today on one of those fare/bidding sites and said how about $300.

I was ready for them to say get lost, but way unexpectedly they said OK. I have to fly to Chicago first Wednesday afternoon, then into Heathrow by 8AM Thursday. After that I have no idea what happens. I'll get up to Bury St Edmonds somehow, stay somewhere.

So, kind strangers, who IS going? Is there any one I could hitch a ride with? Maybe someone who already lives in the general East Anglia reigion... somewhere i could journey to on Thursday avoiding the nutty nutty London hotel prices? I'm a nice enough Yank I suppose, always wear a shirt, and didn't vote for Bush. Who'll have me?

You can message the group or myself directly at troche circle-a mindspring.com
