After work I sort out some dinner and head over to Crouch End. There's a meeting in The Queens about a somewhat Secret Project, so I arrive at around 8 intending to meet Mike, Nick and Ellie. A stranger grabs my arm on the way through the door and asks if I'm here to meet Nick. Unsure, I answer in the affirmative. The man turns out to be Nick's housemate, and he assures me we've met before. I attempt to style this out, trying to guess his name - but fail just as he says it anyway. Phew. I go inside, hoping that he won't follow me and force any uncomfortable, strange chat. Luckily he doesn't and Nick soon arrives to join me at the bar.
Mike is his customary 45 minutes late, but eventually all four of us are sat on the big sofa discussing the Secret Project. It's good fun and we all get overexcited - and, frankly, we have more beers than are strictly necessary for a proper meeting. I proselytise about The Social Network and hopefully convince some of them to go and see it - it's only sinking in now quite how inspiring I found it.
Eventually it becomes time to leave the pub, and while Mike heads to Domino's to have a row about extra pots of dip, I stick my headphones on and listen to loud hip hop all the way home.
