So get a passport then
.There are some Macrumors members in New York who might well come so if you arranged a picnic thread for New York there's a good chance of it happening
.I'm almost certainly coming to this in London btw.
Got a tip for us?

I'm doing an Inter Rail around Europe and I'm starting in London, so that I can go to the picnic!!!!
Why not indeed? It's usually a chilled-out sort of day, just loafing around, drinking and eating, listening to music... playing football badly.
I feel I may try and come to this, it'd be nice to meet some likeminded people that don't actually hate macs!
I think you should.

Excellent. I'm jealous of the Inter Rail ticket too. We'll see you there.
Keep track of this thread as we'll be posting maps and so forth in 2-3 months time once we've managed to do a little exploring first. Wherever we eventually choose to hold it, it will be very easy to get to.

As it goes it looks like I'm dragging my friend as well who is a new recruit to the mac world
Not good for Eurailing. By the way, you have to buy this book if you're going Eurailing. It's a must-have. Trust me.

Great, the more the merrier. More jumpers for goalposts.
Nice. I didn't buy any books for my trip yet since my birthday is coming up and my dad likes to get me books. Thanks for the suggestion.
Darned it, if it were only 1 month later, I might have had an excuse to sneak away from my sister-in-laws pre wedding stuff in reading and even have a sneaky visit to an apple store or 2.
If I win some money in the interim, I will be glad to be your guide.
I have an excellent sense of direction, and always know where I am headed.
Plus, I've been to London a few times too.
On travelling around Europe I have a few tips (as I've just travelled around the world.)
1. Buy earplugs. They are useful for the flight and noisy dorms.
2. See less cities and spend more time in each place. In cities like London and Paris you could easily spend 5 full days (or maybe more.) without getting bored.
3. I remain to be convinced of the value of the Interail pass. €11/day is a lot of money for rail travel in Europe (except the UK. As an example Prague-Vienna is €29.) especially if you follow point 2 - I don't know why the seat61 guy recommends it as he usually proves to be very solid. Of course if you've already bought it don't worry. It's not that bad a deal.
4. Get an oyster card for London at heathrow if you can as otherwise you pay 3x more and get the smart card for other metros if you can figure out how to get the card refunded when you leave the city as they make travelling much easier.
5. Keep your valuables safe. Don't put your passport and other valuables in your pocket but keep them under your clothes.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to try out the new MMS location sending in iPhone 3.0

^ That depends on your definition of fun. In the past I think the geekiness is typically kept to a minimum, but nothing is ruled out. Laptops have made appearances but mostly it's just the iPod speaker thingy for tunes and other random typical and non-typical picnic activities.

Yeah, previously we've had beer and crisps and stuff.
If there's going to be crisps, then I'm in.
