Hey all. Just logged on here. Worked all day. Feet hurt.

Did you do a matinee today?

Also, for anyone in the know, if I'm staying in London and I want to be in the heart of the city close to the tourist attractions, restaurants, etc., what area do I want to be in? (I'll be seeing a few shows too, of course, but if that's out of the way of everything else, I can cab it. I'd rather just be in equal walking distance of everything, etc.) Also, how reliable is the metro system?

I actually saw a matinee today...Fiddler. Nathan was there.

Lane, Shubert?

Tiff, I suppose anywhere near Picadilly Circus, or Trafalgar Square...when I went yonks ago, we stayed in Kensington, it was a bit out of the way, but close to a Tube station, so 'twas fine. They're fairly reliable from what I recall, every three minutes or so.

Has Nathan started rehearsals for the movie yet?

And speaking of movies, anyone know a confirmation about RENT being moved to NYC instead of SF?

Ellie, oh, okay, so not Kensington then? That's where the theatres are, right? How much does the tube cost? What area of London is Trafalgar in? Is that where the Palace, Westminster Abbey, etc. are?

I can't BELIEVE how expensive these hotels in London and Paris are! I thought NYC was a lot - these places are asking $300/night for a 2-star hotel!!

I can't really remember too well, I was about 12, but Kensington was fine (Jury's Hotel, I just asked my sis), really the Tube is great. Trafalgar Sq/Leicester Sq/Picadilly Circus are right beside each other - kind of the flashy Times Square of London - and all of the theatres are nearby. Plus it's very close to Regent Street/Oxford Street, the main shopping places...can't be bad. Any Londoner's on this board you could PM? Why not try posting on the West End Board?

Try the West End board? Well, I would, but I actually want to get a response within the next blue moon or so. Is that part of London just called "The City"? Because I clicked that option on expedia.com (it said I could choose from Bloomsbury, Kensington, The City and a few other random names I don't remember) and that's where the /night cost skyrocketed. Literally hundreds of dollars for sh*t hotels! Aie!

Oh of course, I forgot you're going within the next decade.

Hmmm..not too sure about The City...I though that was the financial district of London, but I could be and probably am wrong.

And things are probably going to be doubly expensive with the horrible exchange rate. Oh wait, you're in Canadia - how's the CAN$?

How about sending DAME a friendly PM? He's just back from London, right? Maybe he'll do a better job of helping you than me - sorry!

I'm watching an early Friends re-run. Monica had a job working behind the counter of a diner, where shes working the counter for a few episodes. The Moondance diner was used as the store front.

....yes, this is what happens to me when I'm overtired.

Is that the one where Monica has the fake boobs (which Joey naps on...) and has to rollerskate around...? With the vase poem thing?

Ellie, CDN dollar is actually doing pretty well! (It's been strengthened and the US dollar has been weakened - and so it goes in our process of taking you guys over, and then THE WORLD!!) - US$1 = CDN$1.22 so it's not doing too bad at all. (Esp. considering when I went to NYC in April, I was paying about CDN$1.3 and in 2001/2, closer to CDN$1.3-1.4!!)

I don't know if I should bring traveller's cheques there - it's obviously safer and practical, but my friends told me they had to pay exhorbitant rates to use them! (Something like paying EUR35 to get EUR50 in cash!) I will PM Dame though.

Traveller's cheques are for geeks. Cash baby! How will your credit card hold up - you plan on giving it a good pounding, right? I forgot you'll be dealing in Euro and Sterling.
And do the hotels over there still charge per person, not per room?

What a shame, b_s_t. I was going to ask Miss Brainiac if she could determine if it's more worth it for me to convert the Cdn dollar into US, and then from US --> Euro/Sterling, or if I should just buy Euro/Sterling itself.

Where is everyone?
