Yeah it certainly was a great night - and a small world as I discovered by the end of it. 'This person knew this person and that person knew them...'
Massive props to everyone who turned up all by themselves, and without knowing anyone previously to the meet. I might be getting all soppy here but that really says a lot about dedication.
Flea and
Scoobydont you have just got to drag that little Klownz along next time, screaming if that's what it takes. Lord knows I have no apparent influence! Hey, and it was good to meet you guys again!
Pillgrim it was good to finally meet you coz I know I've hasselled you on many occaision via email to come out with me!
Morpheous Daq we finally made it out together after all that icq chatting about it! No excuses for either of us next time!
Meth - the one and only rug share-er! All night she could be heard asking, "Would you like to share my rug...?"
And she and I were also the only truly prepared ones...with our super size water bottles and our warm blankies...!
Chaos - our lovable and truly unique bluelighter. Can anyone honestly say that they didn't warm to him as soon as he arrived?! And if you didn't then him riding home to drive back in his car, getting home and then remembering that his car is actually at the mechanics and having to catch a taxi back to us, must have drawn you to him!
Johnboy I know that everyone was impressed that our moderator (hey, that's me too!) not only turned up but stayed with us until all hours. Big hugz to both you and the loverly Robyn! And thank her for that wonderful kiss - it was just like being tucked into bed!
Mr.Horse thank god you were wearing that reflector top coz I would never have seen you guys next to weary if you hadn't!
Hamlet "...to be or not to be? That is the question. Whether it is greater to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortunes, something something..."
I couldn't resist!
Synthaesesia you left far too quickly before the night begun, though I understand that you had to go go go coz you were talking at a million miles a second! LOL !
Leprechaun it was nice to meet you though someone said you were bringing your car with a thumping stereo...?!
Sprout if you read this then you will know that you are welcome with us anytime you want. You know who to call and who to email. We will do it again soon and you are gonna be there, surprising me with your amazing knowledge of mathematics! (I'm still in shock about that, you know!)
Sassy bla bla bla live together so know this already bla bla bla...
Weary Dunlop at first you appeared to us like some kind of larger than life zombie, about to come to life and eat us, probably making one of us have to cork a bluelighter in the leg and leave them there as bait while the rest of us ran away to safety... but when we started rolling you started smiling. Hell you were clenching so hard your entire body was rigid! Thankyou for letting us borrow your stairs and for watching over us.
Lest we forget that night you will always be there holding tigger's hand to remind us!
Ok, if I have forgotten anyone then I am sorry but did any of you see how trashed I was?! Curled up in my sleeping bag like a "rainbow coloured maggot" as Sassy put it. I'm surprised I got this far!
If you have been left out in this anthology then please leave your nick and I will think of something witty to say about you too!
Though I just have one question...
WHEN ARE WE DOING IT AGAIN???
