Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night

[venta]

Are you
(a) bored of the Olympics
(b) not bored of me banging on about rapper[*]
(c) conveniently near London in a fortnight's time?

If so, I commend to you The Rapperlympics, this year's incarnation of the Dancing England Rapper Tournament.

If you are interested, you have two options: paying lots of money for a ticket which entitles you to all manner of things, or paying no money at all and sitting in a Soho pub of your choice waiting for dance teams to show up and perform for you. Formal timetable for ticketed events is here, list of pubs in which you can sit and watch the fun for nowt is here.

If you're interested in seeing/avoiding seeing me dancing, I shall be in the Olympic class.

[*] Actually, I've done remarkably little banging on about it recently. For anyone who's forgotten or never known: rapper is a form of folk dancing from the north east of England. To do it you need five people, a bunch of flexible metal "swords" called rappers and very little sense of self-preservation or dignity. See my posts tagged rapper or dert for more waffly detail than you could ever possibly want.

Not sure about London that weekend - I have other commitments - but if you updated the Mabel Gubbins web pages I could well turn up to something more local (and the Red Lion is definitely one of my favourite pubs...)
