Nick

Some people say I look like the guy second from the left in THIS PICTURE:

Add 2 1/2 years and much longer hair, and you'll get the idea...

Or you could check out my 365 days project on Flickr... though I'll warn ya, Day 1 is about the only normal one in there!

Vinay are you coming too??? Wow, this is becoming like a reunion indeed!

See you all there!

Cheers,

Scott

We'll have to put in an extra meet for Vinay... he'd miss the 15th.

Great to see that pic!

The tropical climate, diet, worries and stress of this house, etc have made me look ten years older. Not joking

. But then I always suspected India would do that to me.

It is in North Mada Street, Myalapore, but any driver will know to find it. You really can't miss it (famous last words!)

I'll be coming by motorcycle. Can't find North Mada Street on my Chennai map. Can you please provide clear driving directions, say from Marina Beach road.

Thanks!

It is a common street name, as the larger temples will have these 'Mada' Streets.

Look for Kapaliswara Temple on your map.

There should be a big rectangle, possibly blue (on account of the water) adjacent (to the West) of the temple: this is the temple tank.

The four Mada Streets (N, S, E and W) run around the four sides, enclosing the temple and the tank.

If you are coming from Marina Beach, turn right at the Cathedral. There is a tiny lane you can cut through, but otherwise take a left onto RK Mutt Road at Luz Corner (the next big crossroads with traffic lights, after going over the canal/under the railway). Turn left onto N. Mada Street just as you reach the tank.

If you have the Eicher City Map (and everbody should

) it is p84, square E5.

Cant wait! I'll have to leave early though, but hey, something is better than nothing right?

Nick-H · Jun 13th, 2007, 00:40

Just a few days, guys...

ArjunaWeeping · Jun 13th, 2007, 20:05

Landed!!!

A couple of hours late but met up with my friend Claudia, so both of us are on track for the meetup on Friday night

We found an apartment too, it's in Mandavelipakkam and close enough to walk to our venue in RK Nagar, great place, loads of space and reasonable price. We're at the New Woodlands until Friday and moving in during the day.

See you all at the meetup on Friday!

Take care,

Scott

Excellent - glad you arrived safely. Look forward to meeting you on Friday.

I wonder how many of us there will be???

Nick-H · Jun 13th, 2007, 23:10

It's approximately here...

ISN · Jun 14th, 2007, 21:05

Well, certainly about six of us, I expect- would like to meet everyone in the flesh before we head to the June Rock Out festival in YMCA.

mairangi_vice · Jun 15th, 2007, 11:48

ah geez, Ive just been told my flight tonight is earlier than I thought, so Im out. You all will have to have fun without me.

mckay25 · Jun 15th, 2007, 13:32

I've cancelled my earlier plans tonight, so I won't be late anymore. See everyone at 7.

Nick-H · Jun 15th, 2007, 14:12

Meet outside on the steps? Or grab a table inside?

Downstairs is the cheaper option for tiffin and stuff: upstairs is more expensive restaurant.
