Thursday 10th April from 6pm
We’ve had an offer from Dan (househunter) Caplin to help organise a LondonSEO event in Brighton. I know it’s a long way to travel for my fellow Londoners, although SEO is apparently now one of Brighton’s most popular past times - along with getting old and dying. I’m guessing that they also have a large Scandinavian community, as they were flying the same colourful flags that I saw in Copenhagen recently. If we’re lucky enough to get a sunny day, it could be pretty cool to geek it up by the beach.
To limit workday hangover syndrome, it has been suggested that we hold the event on a Friday - so those who want to stay up all night and drink can do. The train service back to London is also pretty good judging from the last time I used it.
The only points remaining are - a) Can we find a sponsor in Brighton and b) is everyone up for a bit of a school trip?
Wohey, school trip! Sounds great, I’m in!
Sounds like a recipe for….something! I’m up for it
That chav mobile JPG really gets my juices going!
Hmmm, what dates we talking here?
It would be nice to actually get something valuable from this feed other than the infrequent pissup Rob

Just an FYI from a dumass.
Brighton day trip? I’m sold.
- Surely free pissups are about as valuable as you can get? I write at these sites if you need more input:

I propose the end of July for the event, although it could be sooner. Anyone off to SES San Jose afterwards?
Lovely stuff - sounds good.
I’m up for that!
Ooooohhhh… I think it needs to be organised early enough so we can all book a drunken flop spot *grins* - they are invaluable!
>> a) Can we find a sponsor in Brighton
Try freshegg and / or Propellornet. They are both local
“The train service back to London is also pretty good judging from the last time I used it.”
Yeah, but don’t we all need to be heading down on scooters?
We got off very lightly last time, so I don’t mind putting up a few notes, if there are some fellow sponsors helping out too. Subject to dates being convenient, of course.
That would be so cool, just need to find a place to rent 40-50 Vespa’s and Lambretta’s (already got the mod outfit of course)
Seeing as we’ve got a presence in both London and Brighton - and we’re recruiting for SEO consultants - I’m sure I could arrange a contribution from Propellernet. Just so long as its not on 21st July - selfishly - as I’m away then.
That will clash with my black leather capris and red leather jacket… I soooo need a new look*laughs*
Well it seems that we are good to go then…
I’m going to be drinking my way round some appropriate venues over the next few days. End of July is very busy for me so I’m looking at either the 20th July or the 3rd August.
I will keep you posted and hope to confirm the date and venue next week.
We are the Mods, we are the Mods, we are, we are, we are the Mods.
Great work Dan, looking forward to your in-depth study on the pubs in Brighton
OH - an outing for my car!!!!! Lift available for one. Chances of getting to Brighton on time and in one piece… limited
as a brightonian i can’t wait!
ahhh when its set in stone can you set up an upcoming.org for it as plenty of the Brighton lot use that quite regularly
*pouts* Once again I’ll miss a pissup. *pouts*
Dixon - surely that’s all part of the adventure - gambling on whether you make it to the end destination alive or not - and still in the same car or not!
I wanna go in the orange car!
Just in case anyone is worrying about the lack of updates with the Brighton trip looming closer.
Our little monkey boy has run away to Ireland for a week to drown himself in Guinness.
When he does finally return to reality, I’ll make sure he posts an update.
How dare he….
baited breathe this end
I’ve just posted an update on BrightonSEO.com, I’m sure Rob will also post details here shortly…
Looking forward to seeing you all down by the sea on the 3rd of August!
