We’re taking the ScobleShow on the road, to London and Paris starting December 6th. We’ll be in London December 6-9, then in Paris for the LeWeb3 conference (which is selling fast and furious — it’s amazing that they have more than 1,000 attendees already).
To get things rolling right Hugh Macleod is throwing us a geek dinner in London on the evening of December 7th. Through some weird coincidence, Dave Winer is going to be there too. You’re welcome, but space is very tight, so let us know. I have 10 spots to give away, leave a comment here if you’d like to come. Hosting us will be cool people from the BBC and Microsoft.
We’ll also do a photowalk. Gotta think about when/where to do that. Any ideas?
Finally, if you’re an entrepreneur and you’d like to meet us in London or Paris, please drop me a note as well and we’ll get you onto the schedule.
Oh, and Milan and Maryam are coming too. If we can get Milan’s passport in time.
UPDATE: The photowalk will start at 9:30 p.m. after dinner — we can take unlimited participants in that — see Hugh’s post for more details.
Hey! no one throws geek dinners in Chicago. 😦

If you’re doing a photowalk in London it should be somewhere that is unique to London, a little bit off the beaten track (away from tourists), and where you can experience London in all its glory.
Hence, I vote Primrose Hill or Greenwich park.
Here’s a map.

Jamie: sounds fun, but we’re staying near the Tower of London so it’d be fun to do a Photowalk between the geek dinner’s location and the Tower of London someplace. That way we don’t have to take a lot of cabs all over the city.

Ah OK. I guess it depends how long you’re there for!!
I’ve drawn on the route that I’d take. It takes in the city, St Paul’s, Aldwych, Trafalgar, Chinatown, Leicester Square. Plenty of photo ops there!

For a photowalk, the path on the south side of the Tames from westminster to the Tate modern gallery is a must for biggest London spots like London eye or saint paul cathedral. A bit touristic but really nice.

Let me second my colleague Michael’s comment above; we’re launching the public beta of Resolver One – a mash-up of a spreadsheet with a software development tool – just before you arrive, and it would be great to meet up.
For a flavour of what we’re all about, we have a screencast here: http://www.resolversystems.com/screencasts/web-app-in-10-mins – and we did another one with Jon Udell, which he posted here: http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/09/27/first-look-at-resolver-an-ironpython-based-spreadsheet/

Heh…it’s funny that the startups that wanted to be considered for LeWeb were *required* to buy at least one ticket to the conference in advance. Even if you did not pass the ‘reviews’ and got into the final list. Oh, and they didn’t notify those who didn’t pass, stating that it’s “standard procedure”. Bad manners, I would say.
