2017 Book #3 - Swing Time by Zadie Smith

[Justin]

happy with either plan, just need a location - 8 start though?

[Lara]

Ohhh! I didn't bring my picnic blanket!
(I don't have a picnic blanket, I just want to look like the kind of person who would have one)
Alan--well done!!

[Justin]

This ^ and does anyone have plastic cups, bottle opener, cutlery etc?

[René]

Bah we'll just (chicken) wing it, bring foods that don't require any of that stuff. 8pm at Jardin des Tuileries?

[Lara]

Oh so everyone shares the same bottle? Hello 911 I would like to report a germophile

[Nabil]

Germs give food its taste Lara. I'll bring some casu marzu

8 pm is good.

[Lara]

I had a horrific dream about worms last night!!! I love cheese but only up to a point

[René]

Fine, I'll bring plastic cups

[Tania]

I see, Alan, that despite the attempts of the others to lower the bar, your elevated reading capacities enable you to rise above the pub and maintain high moral Groundlands.

[Lara]

I might be able to borrow cutlery from the office and rely on René's survival skillz to open beers with his teeth

[Lara]

Could we say in front of the lions of the Ecole du Louvre like last time? https://goo.gl/maps/Q1RQ286Pq8G2

[Alan]

Sounds like we have a PLAN!

If anyone thinks they might be a tad early, I will probably get bored in work very soon and I might just head to this wee bar for a pint before hand... Or maybe one outside the office. If you fancy a pré picnic pint, give me a shout and I can get along there quite quickly

[René]

Hey, thanks to all for a lovely meetup, and welcome again to Alvaro and Maria :)

[Justin]

I thought it was great! Really positive meet with interesting discussions about the book!
