dww Dave,

We would be pleased to have you at the heel meet! :)

Some guys wear flats to the meets and you are more than welcome to do the same, if that makes you feel more comfortable. Some guys also bring a change of shoes in a back pack or messenger bag, so they can put their heels on in the middle of the day. Feel free to come as you are!

Just got off the phone with ramon020 and it looks like he's a sure attendee at the World Heel Meet too!

(if I am wrong, please correct me ramon020)

Bumping this back to the top.

Folks, there is a time and a place for everything. There is a time to scatter and a time to gather. A time to refrain and a time to embrace.

There is a time for small heel meets. Thats when locals get together and eat lunch on the spur of the moment. Surely, this strikes at the heart of what heel meets are about: forging new friendships with people with similar interests...validating our community.

Then there is a time for a BIG heel meet. A time to gather. Thats when 5 Americans and potentially 7 Americans are flying across the Atlantic to London. Thats when members are flying in from Sweden, from Amsterdam, from Germany, from Gouda, maybe even from Canada to meet everyone. Opportunities like this are rare. So if you've refrained from attending a heel meet in the past, perhaps this is the meet to come to.

The Place is the Oxford Street Starbucks near the Tottenham Court Road Tube Station.

The Time is 10:30-11:00.

Heelfan and I have talked and we are probably going to break the initial group up into 2/3 subgroups. One group will go out and shop. Another group will stay back and lounge in a pub/restaurant/bar and talk--enjoying the essence of heel meet by making new friends with like interests. And a potential third group might walk around to do some light sight seeing.

Each person will have their choice as to which group to join.

Then at the end of the day, we'll all RV for dinner.

As I have said before and will repeat again, no photos will be posted online without the prior approval of people in the picture.

Some confusion is creeping in as regards the meet-up location.
The photos are showing the Starbucks at 55-59 Oxford Street, which is not the place we met up for the 13 May 2006 heelmeet.

On 13 May, we met at 112/116 New Oxford Street, assembling in the upstairs lounge.
The 55-59 Starbucks has no upstairs lounge (as can be seen in those photos). It does however have a basement lounge, so it's probably a good meeting place for us heelers who like to skulk in the shadows.

Plenty of time to go yet I know but can someone please confirm the venue address so I don't get a bad case of deja vu.

Kneehighs asked me to nip out from work one lunch time and take a picture of the Starbucks that was on Oxford St near TCR tube.

That one fits the bill, but in retrospect, it would have been a good idea to have checked with someone who's actually been there.

The intention was to prevent the cock up that we had last time - talk about piss ups and breweries. So it's New Oxford St. New pictures will be forthcoming - they shall be posted for peer review.

So what's this going to do for my reputation on the forum? It's already zero!

Fog--I appreciate the initiative you showed just going out of your way to take a pic. IMHO, that initiative alone and willingness to help gives you a positive reputation in my book, which hopefully will show up in your reputation points.
