As in the best of autocracies,
Via a mix of false popular consultations, farcical elections, and backroom deals with the warlords of the mountainous and other godforsaken regions, we have reached a final decision:
{Twitville Council of Elders (CoE) negotiating the date and location of the next Tweetup,over a selection of traditional drinks}
When: Friday 22 January. 7 pm. Nineteenhundre' for the military-minded.
Where: FIJI restaurant and cafe. A Sandmonkey favourite. In his words, "free wifi, good food, excellent shisha" with the craziest flavours possible.
Address: 36 El Nozha St., Ard El Golf, Heliopolis. That's at the intersection of Nabil El Wakkad and El Nozha St., which is right below the Nozha bridge. Map is below.
The cafe is right beneath the Concrete clothing store, which is apparently an obvious landmark.
Write that down.
(FYI, you'll need to take a few stairs down to reach the cafe.)
Minimum charge: Nope. We negotiated it out. You're welcome. (they will appreciate if you order a drink or something though!)
Suggested conversation topics:
- How Heliopolis is so much cooler than Zamalek and Mohandessin combined.
- How much we wish Algeria would win the Africa Cup 2010.
- How much el we7da el wataneya is going strong in Egypt.
- And how taking a train to Naga Hammadi is now a punishable crime - and very soon, taking a bus to Tahrir on a Friday will be, too.
** Note to the Heliopoliphobes amongst you: we'll be rotating locations next time, obviously. Mohandessin next time!! **

I bet you had to give up your first born to be able to organize that one. I was blissfully stuck in traffic while the hostage situation was being resolved.
Thank you for putting it all together. Again.
BIG name tags and the sharpie are on me :P
