Re: 19th March Abbey Road London

[Salkunh]

i think we've already had some confusion....at least on irc

[Salkunh]

possibly nothing but apparently theres a film festival on at abbey road studios on saturday the 19th and the film showing at the time we have to ask for dinah is A hard days night. Random googling I found:

At one time, The Dave Clark Five were considered the Beatles' key rivals in international pop stardom, and so, when the Fab Four made a smash at the box office with A Hard Day's Night, Mr. Clark and his partners followed with Catch Us If You Can (also known as Having A Wild Weekend). Dinah (Barbara Ferris) is a famous model and actress who is getting tired of life in the limelight and wants to take a break.

could be absolutely nothing but its interesting none the less

Me and my m8 will be there too, I only live about 2 miles from there

I'd like to request some pre-planning. we have some time, so let's be sure we get it right.

could someone go to the abbey road location - take a cellphone - and locate the webcam? walk around on the ground and fFind the limits of the fField of vision. the cellphone is to call someone who will be sitting at home with a web-browser open and saying thing like "you have 10 more meters to your left" "no, you are out view now" "you can walk fForward a little more and i'll still be able to see most of your body"

Maybe take some chalk too, to scribble on the sidewalk indicating where the limits of the fField of vision are.

Lastly, it might be handy to take note of likely directions of entrance and exit. I see a fFew streets of course, heading in different direections. and a building. But if someone were to walk up in one direction with the express intent of being seen, how would you come-a-walking?

be our eyes, please. anything you think would be worth taking note of.

[Nik_Doof]

hardly need pre-planning....we go there....we see the person/thing and thats it....go le pub!

I've got a script saving the webcam image every 5 secs for reference. we dont need someone continually watching it as our vision on the ground would be a bit better

Between us we're gonna record/picture and note everything we see, no need to go military on us.

Dinah

[aleph13]

What if Dinah's not there? A backup plan should be ready:

Bring a giant sign, that asks for Dinah, and hold it so that someone watching the webcam can see it.

Maybe Dinah will be watching the webcam, not actually there?

If she is, then I gotta ask: how many people will be going? I think we should have as many as possible!

I'll be at home humming:
