We have a lot of family and friends there. I hope not too many people were harmed.

London will be in my thoughts today.

Thank God it isn't as bad as it could have been. Then again, more news coming in....


lovetthespies- I hope your family and friends are okay! I'm sure they are!

My thoughts are with England (esp Londoners) today and the near future. They will not be terrorized. These events have changed the world (again)...there is no longer "over here" or "over there," we are one planet and one world fighting these bastards.

Hmmmm.... leaving in a few hours to take my husband to the airport for his flight to London. His hotel is not far from Kings Crossing. This is unnerving.
Are the airports even open? (I don't know...just asking)

I've just received word from my friend Lynn Wallis - Artistic Director of The Royal Academy of Dance. She is fine. What a relief. Hoping I hear back from other friends/dancers in London soon.

This is disgusting. My thoughts are with the people of London today.

This kind of event does not make any sense and always covers us with thick dark cloud...My thoughts are with PCB and other people in England and hope they will find the support & strength that we found 4 years ago.

I have had contact from all my family and friends. So sad, after such happy news, yesterday. I wish I was there and am happy not to be, both at the same time.

Well, CM2, I'm glad all your loved ones are safe.

Hey everyone. Thank you for the concern and the PMs. I am fine, I was already in the gym when it all went down, so that proves exercise really IS good for you. I was supposed to go into work at noon and of course I haven't. I am guessing that everyone at work is ok as I haven't been able to contact them. I leave my job this Saturday officially but it looks as though yesterday may well have been my last day. It all depends on how quickly everything gets up and running again, but I doubt I will be saying the words "Mary Poppins box office, may I help you?" again anytime soon.

Ok, I am at a friend's house on his laptop so I had better get going. If I don't get back to work, I will not be online again before I arrive in NYC on the 18th of this month.

glad to hear that you are safe, pcb.

Glad you're safe!

Thank you for taking the time to send a message!

I hope all of your friends and loved ones are fine!

It was thoughtful of you to check in, Pop. Catch you in NYC in a few short weeks!

[Forester]

Posted: 7/7/05 at 11:31am

Everybody, call your love one. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them.

I see CHICAGO is the only West End show going ahead with a performance tonight.

Can say she started with a BANG" indeed!

It's a great relief to hear from you, pop!

Bluemoon, I hope you can take comfort in the fact that historically, these sorts of attacks happen just once. It's highly unlikely anything will happen again now and just be grateful he wasn't there today.

The day after they won the 2012 Olympics, I can't help but wonder if it would have been NY had the Olympics been given here.

[wildcat]

Posted: 7/7/05 at 11:48am

Reports have established it had nothing to do with the Olympic bid. It's retaliation for the troops in Iraq.

Were any theatres hit?

All best possible thoughts to POP and our other UK friends and family.

Posted: 7/7/05 at 11:55am

I echo the thoughts of Sister George - we'll be back on our feet soon. I was going to London on Saturday anyway, and certainly have no intention of cancelling my trip!

ETA: no theatres hit, though the vast majority are dark tonight Updated On: 7/7/05 at 11:55 AM

I just heard from Bluemoon - they are at the airport - her husband has decided to fly on over there.

I hope the London BWWers are okay...BEERGOGGLES? WHERE ARE YOUUUU?!?

[mabel]

Posted: 7/7/05 at 2:50pm

Here's to a safe trip for Bluemoon's husband. I think she'd said it was his first time overseas. It must be nervewracking for the whole family, but we'll keep good thoughts for you.

Also, has anyone heard anything from LeeinLondon? I'm trying to think of other folks that are London-based on the board, and his name popped to mind.

This is really sad. Thoughts and prayers are with those in London
