Old Town History Day
Category: me, 09:15 PM

Blech. Went to a history day in the Old Town yesterday. I usually
love walking round the old town, and I thought it'd be really cool to go and look at all those people dressed up in old-fashioned costumes! Some of the costumes were great - old cloaks and hoods, wooden shoes, the three-barred walking sticks that you see in the old pictures, that sort of thing. But everyone was just getting so drunk on all the free beer it was really kind of gross. Literally, I saw a couple of people vomit in the street. I don't know why anyone would want to drink so much that they make themselves sick - it can't be fun, can it? It really doesn't look like fun. The streets had got so dirty with litter as well - dropped wrappers and leaflets and goodness knows what. I guess it's probably true what they say that the Old Town doesn't get the attention that the rest of the city does. It's such a shame because the buildings are really beautiful.

Sounds a bit like a Zimmerframe to me.

Sounds like a monumental piss-up to me...also not dissimilar to Whitley Bay on a Friday Night Shocked

Ah... Whitley Bay like. I was taken there once by a newky girl. I didn't realise they sell their nips in tripples, and ordered a double... you can see where it went after that, can't you...

Re-reading Scarlets latest made me realise this event

Old Town History Day
would be the perfect situation to see some reference to this shadowy Uberorganisation - y'know, people dressing up as these old kid-scaring charactors (think Vampires, ghouls - like halloween) but all we got that was out of the ordinary was a three legged walking stick. Y'know the leads are still so depressingly skimpy. After the Salk torrent,... oh never mind, I'll just start bitchin'. But be on the lookout for mentions of things that represent an old-but-now-ludicrous-to-be-afraid-of... thingy.

You know, this kinda gets me to thinking again about the whole AC/BC thing means the same thing as in our demension theory. Cause of time moving differently and such. Since old time clothes are so very...old there? Heh

Sounds horribly like 'Ye Olde Renaissance Fayre' (TM) to me - and they call it history!! Gack.

But at least we're getting yet more evidence that the Perplexians think in base three...whatever that means...

It sounds more like Colonial Williamsburg. Sorta like a Ren-Fair but actually based in fact and as close to authentic as it's possible to get. No free beer though.

Ah Scarlett, so innocent.

It sounds to me like the local summer festival we have here. (George Street Festival). One street (about 100 yards long), close to 50 bars (pubs for the Brits Smile), live music and drinking on the street, one ticket gets you onto the street and into all the bars (no additional cover). Monumental piss-up indeed.
