It is hardly possible that I can read all the 80 pages of the thread and I am afraid nobody from A2K people who are gathering there knows me, but is it still feasible for me to join? Or am I too late?
Sorry for the long silence but this week my workload was really huge and I could only dream of looking into A2K
Now I have the agenda for the visit. It is really a tough schedule. Unfortunately it does not seem I will be able to see any London's sights except the office where the talks will take place.

Clary, my lunchtime will be from 1 to 2p.m., but my boss does not speak any English and therefore I am afraid that if her "tongue" leaves her among people who speak a very strange language
my job will also "leave" me very soon. I already have rather strained relations with her. So it will be very difficult to meet unless you are going to be in Hammersmith at the same time. I doubt that the time before 9a.m. will suit you. Are you arriving in London on the same day, that is on 13-th? If so, unlucky I am and this day will be really Friday the 13-th. If no, I am absolutely free on 12-th after 6p.m.

C.I., May 13-th is Friday indeed because after 5.30p.m. my boss will be dining with two head office managers and I am supposed to be there as an interpreter. Not a very good position for me as they all will be dining and talking and I will translate and watch them dining (it is difficult to eat something while you are interpreting). Do not know when they are planning to finish but I still hope after 9p.m. I can be free.
I am staying at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington High Street (do not know exactly where it is but I guess not far from Hammersmith). We can meet there or, say, on Piccadilly near the horses or Eros statue. As far as I can understand it is a traditional meeting place in London. (In Moscow we have a similar one in Pushkin square.) Do you already have your train schedule? Are you arriving to Waterloo station?
At all events I will try to be online.
Best wishes,
SerSo
