EADD Meetup at Castle Shambles (was kinky)

[Bearlove]

Raas that is very similar to the ones I stayed in - there was a large balcony with a double open door which would be ideal to keep venting the place if the scented candle smoke gets too strong (or for people to stand on if they fancied a cigarette etc).

There are some great ones about 5 10 mins walk from the train station - ideal location as short walk to the center, quite a few bars around them and I think two clubs, also within walking distance to a supermarket for supplies etc. There were several groups staying in them when I was there - was lively without being over the top and attracting unwanted attention. Can't remember the name of the place or I would PM somebody but somebody with local knowledge would be better (I will probably have photos of the ones I stayed in).

^ That apartment idea is great. And we can always probably sneak more people in.. I'm happy with a sleeping bag on the floor so the beds can be kept for the oldies.

I might be confused - there is a talk of shortage of beds and your talking about putting plastic down (is this for stains or to incase the nights activities turn to water sports [and Im not talking surfing :D])?

Life of an international play boy - I wish :D. Didn't do much travelling last year but hoping this year will be better

 

[Shambles]

The mind boggles at the possibilities that leap to mind at the thought of turning up to a rented house with a load of drug-addled strangers and feeling the need to coat the floor in plastic. Water sports is perhaps one of the least scary possibilities :D

I've been to three meets I can think of offhand where actual beds were available. Only one got used by one person. Sleeping is generally not too high on most folks' agendas

I can vouch for this, if people are in two minds as to wether to go then you definitely should. I've only been to a couple of low key meet ups and they have been great fun.... One of my particular favs was a hotel meetup (sounds seedy) with Cbrox, Shambles, Mugz and Angelsmoke (was that her name at the time?!) First time I'd tried a 2c-x and I was playing with a lighter for fucking ages with everyone probably laughing! Remember that Shammy? Then the next day I had to give you a lift home and how lucky were you compared to the states of the other drivers!!!! Hadn't one of them drank 9 / 10ml of GBL before deciding to start his car home?!

I certainly do remember that lil mini-meet - hard to forget for some of the reasons you mention :D

The driving issue is an important point though. People who are gonna be driving need to be taking that into account and not being as horribly irresponsible as he who shall remain nameless from that meet. Fortunately it was GBL so we could just keep him distracted for long enough for him to pass out completely and sleep it off. The GBL-based kung-fu invisible pigeon fighting and variety of entirely knew forms of communication (utterly incomprehensible yet close enough to actual communication to wonder if said person was just very multilingual in assorted intergalactic tongues) was priceless, for sure. The being convinced he was fine to drive in that state, not cool. Not cool at all. It's the one major advantage of public transport - let somebody sober do the driving. As I'm sure anybody who will be driving will be before they get behind the wheel. We really don't want any of that kinda dodginess - more or less any other forms of dodginess, absolutely - but DUI is not acceptable.

Which is all the more reason to go for the accomodation option - having a place to relax and return to whatever passes for a fit state that day after a meet is a very fine thing indeed. Even when I've only gotta find a seat on the correct train and doze till I get home is a bleedin' nightmare at the meets where it's been case of staggering homewards around dawn. Afterparty-cum-recovery pad all the way.

Also, the PM I owe you is one of many that I owe many people, Glitched. I've been even more slack than usual of late. Will try to clear out me inbox a bit over the next day or two. May have to hunt and gather some heavily-caffeinated beverages first though

PTCH knows the koo when his mob go on there wedgie tour 's

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Yeah, weekdays and off-peak times will be cheaper but I doubt many others will be up for a weekday meet. I'm really not fussed but don't fancy traipsing halfway across the country for a couple hours inna pub on a wet Wednseday afternoon. These things are generally a bit of a "thing" or there's not much point trying to organise it all. But as I said, I really am completely flexible on dates and destinations (within reason) over the next month or so so will leave it to the majority to work out the details cos most probably have more on their ToDo lists than I

And in retromeet news, anybody remember the big, international 10 Year Anniversary meet in the Dam?

*titters*

Does anyone still hitchhike these days ? Could save you the trainfair. A mate of mine hitched from Hull to our house aboit 15 years ago, he got there in time for the party.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

So.. how do I convince my boyfriend that it's completely fine for me to be sharing an apartment with a load of male drugthusiasts?

im sure everyone will be perfect gemtlemen and not try anything on with you. :D

Are you the only female going ? In which case i admire your 'balls'. IM not saying we're a bunch of dangerous deviants so im sure you will be treated well, but even so it does requires some balls on your part if you are the only female amongst how ever male druggies turn up. I think weve established that most people here are 'lovers and not fighters' so there's that. I meant that in the positive way, not in the have a flng whilst you are away sense. Does your partner know you take drugs ? Is he scared of you ? Bring him along and break down his prejudices. We havent got 2 heads and stuff just cos we take drugs lol.

I'm sure they do but I most certainly don't. I'm not the kinda chap folk tend to want to stop for, I suspect. That and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Can't begin to imagine how awkward I'd feel sat in some stranger's car failing to make small talk. Thanks for the suggestion but I've resigned myself to the fact that this meet is pretty much gonna clear me out financially. It's gonna cost the best part of a hundred quid just to get there and chip in for accomodation plus whatever costs will be involved for necessaries. It's a major spend for me whatever happens really - even if it were just one night in Brum without accomodation it'd not be so much cheaper as to make it especially appealing. I may as well make the most of it cos (somewhat pathetically) EADD meets have been essentially my entire social life for several years now.

Are you the only female going ?.

Julie has expressed an interest but it depends on which date is finally confirmed (assuming a date actually is finally confirmed :D). EADD meets are always sausage fests but have only been to one where there was literally only a single woman present. I really don't think gender matters that much in such a situation. It's just an excuse to create a live version of the fukked thread really - bits 'n' pieces don't really come into it.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

the guy that hitched to our place was a full on old skool scruffy hippy/gypsy type. I can only assume that like minded people stopped for him and so conversation must have been easier for him. I can relate to the 'am i gonna be able to earn my free ride with making conversation' thing, but i found it my younger years it was easier than expected. Still, i wont harp on about it anymore, if its not an option for you then that's that.

Mugz fukin hitched 2 JOck land %)

I would n do if i have 2

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Id prefer it if the event happened in manchester but if birmingham it is then so be it. If anyone in the manchester area wants to go and save some £s on a care share/car parking thing Im sure that would work out much cheaper than the train for all of us, depending on how many people. Maximum of 4 people splitting the costs would make travelling and parking very cheap.

well mugz was indeed a special character. Not saying that you're not brimz. So is shambles, he has so much to say, i find it hard to understand why he thinks hed struggle to make conversation. If you dont like small talk, dont do it and talk about what you are interested in. Anyone that stops for you will want to know about you. I said i wouldnt harp on about it, but i am doing, sorry, i will stop now.

Hahahahahaha! All I can say is that screen Shambles is not off-screen Shambles. Well he is, but he ain't so good at interpersonal communications - even worse than he is at PMs. Okay, maybe not quite that bad but pretty bad. He also doesn't use the third person as often when speaking rather than typing. Which is probably for the best.

I'm actually very shy and introverted in person. At least I am when I don't know you. Once I know you you can't shut me up short of sedation but the thought of thumbing down a car and having to talk to a "normal person" about "normal things" frankly terrifies me. It's not like I can talk shop (as it were) with randomers and I don't really have much in my life that "normal people" are likely to relate to. I barely leave the house, barely keep up with news, current events, certainly not popular culture. Don't have a TV as such so only watch the kinda stuff that I like which tends to be documentaries for the most part. I know from past experience (from times of employment mostly) that I really struggle with "normal conversation" - I just don't have any real connections to what most folk do with their lives. Not better, not worse, just different lifestyle is all.

Of the people I've met from here, most are totally recognisable from their posting style. Not so sure if I would be initially. Probably amongst EADD folk I would be but that's cos the ice is already well and truly broken amongst us all despite not actually having met for the most part. I've become very well-known around BL cos I've been around a while and post a lot. Wasn't always that way - took quite a while to build confidence and find my textual voice. It's kinda the same with actual people and I don't have a year or two to get to know whoever happened to pick me up is all.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Can't make 1st and 2nd. That's my birthday weekend. Will consider 8th and 9th wherever the venue and city. If that city was Manchester I could probably give you a life Shammy. Birmingham is just a bit too much of a detour via your place. Unless you get to I dunno, Wrexham or Oswestry or some shit like that. Just a thought. On the other hand if I went via Briz I could probably give Brimz a lift. Oh how confusing is that. Let's see what materialises.
