Seduced at the Barbican after walk down the Thames

[matgb]

Right then, one of the most popular suggestions in my previous post is walking, specifically along the river. Also suggested is the boat trip and the Barbican. Given that I'd alrteady hoped to catch the Seduced exhibition anyway, I figure could combine elements of the ideas. So, anyone else interested in joining me on Saturday:

Seduced explores the representation of sex in art through the ages. Featuring over 300 works spanning 2000 years, it brings together Roman sculptures, Indian manuscripts, Japanese prints, Chinese watercolours, Renaissance and Baroque paintings and 19th century photography with modern and contemporary art.

Open till 8pm, tickets are £8, plan is to try to be there at about 5pm, so people can either meet up for that specifically, or join me earlier for a trip along the Thames in some capacity or other (the cheaper the better but boats might be an option.

Anyone care to join us?

Stupid geography :(

Oooh, I might! I love the Barbican and have only been once and that exhibition sounds awesome! Trip along the Thames sounds fun too. Who else is going?

So far idontcareif is going to meet us at the Barbican as she's busy before 5, and no one else has said either way, but I posted this at midnight last night so I reckon more will think it's a good idea soon enough.

Pluss I'll likely drag some people along when I see them at Inferno on Friday.

Cool. I probably won't know any of these people and I have only ever met you very briefly. Will I be accepted into the fold?

[matgb]

Oh, absolutely—myths of goth elitism are normally just that, but the mystique helps to keep people not worth talking to away ;-)

Besides, so far it's only three people anyway.

Cool, well keep me posted. I'm not getting lj comments sent to my email account, so sorry if I don't notice a reply! Facebook is always a good way to keep in touch, though.

If I want to come on the journey along the Thames bit, where and when shall I meet you?

[matgb]

Best bet is about 2pm somewhere, but I haven't figured out where yet, possible Greenwich area and then walk back? Not been to Greenwich yet.

It also depends on my hangover/state of exhaustion after tonight. Is your number online somewhere (Fb or a post here?) Mine is on Fb and in:

Suggestions as to where to meet or where to walk also welcome, I've done southbank/embankment lots, but not really got further than that often.

Ok, I'll catch a train at some point in the afternoon and let you know when I get into London (it takes me about an hour and 20 mins on the train so if there's any major change of plan, maybe you get let me know before 1pm - although it doesn't matter if I get there a bit early or something because I'm sure I can amuse myself for a little while!).

Number is not online but I'll text you it, as I don't know it off by heart!

Not sure about walking as I've only really done the South Bank too. As for meeting, I get in at Charing Cross, so anywhere round there is cool, but I'll get a travelcard so I'll be able to go anywhere really!
