Was half hoping someone would come up to me and say hi, I'm sign-so!!! Seeing as I had no idea what you all look like!!! But alas, this was not to be!

[Carma1313]

LMFAO! How on earth did you do that!!! There wasnt hardly anyone there that I thought you could confuse me with!!!

Dan Hon is having his camera confiscated at the next meet. That is all.

[sledgecallier]

No argument here...

[European Chris]

Speaking as someone who is quite beautiful I'm not that bothered. But if it makes the ugly people happy...

I was looking at the photos of the meet at work trying to see how many times I'd been snapped. I got many strange looks when I started jumping round screaming "That's my ear!"

The looks didn't get much better when I then said "Sorry. Don't worry, their are photos of me on the internet."

I really should think about what I say. Or maybe not, I find life can be much more interesting this way - see above for evidence/proof.

I didnt see many of the actual meet though, which is what I went to, most of them are of the booze up after.

If you will insist on pulling the famous ice-cube/decolletage trick Duckie, you must expect wandering eyes. You'd just performed it again for Adrian hadn't you?

Interesting facts from the evening:

• Idlemichael looks like a big Coxtin (I might be being a hair fascist)
  
• SteveC looks like my Uncle Charlie (that's not euphemism) and sounds like him too
  
• Wishi's not famous (but will still sign things when asked)
  
• Wukka doesn't have a hairy back (I think he plucks it - sorry, I am a hair fascist)
  
• SebFlyte has an umbrella sculpted from a single piece of (I forget...plywood?) and it has a big knob on the end
  
• One or two of you are a lot older than I thought, most of you are a lot younger, I wouldn't like to meet any of you in a dark alley
  
• My favourite conversation was about syphilis and the eurovision song contest
  
• The Che Guevara exhibition at the V&A costs £5 and consists of four (very similar) posters and a montage. Number9Dream and I will be putting together an exhibition of his face and charging similar entry (to the exhibition not his face, that's more expensive)
  
• A sigificant number of us are capable of dancing like loons when the mood is upon us. I would reveal who, but I had my eyes closed in order to feel the beat better
  
• Despite repeated attempts they won't play the theme from Flashdance
  
• Whitechapel is the most confusing tube station in the world. Everyone seems to be playing a game where the object is to sit on a stationary train for half an hour and then see whether you can beat everyone to the other platform and sit on that one for a bit. It then starts again. It's fun when you need to vomit
  
• A pair of men's pants (apparently tight Calvin Kline) was found in Little Italy the following day. I didn't notice anyone's trousers coming off, but again, I had my eyes closed
  
• I considered myself really canny not buying cards at the event and waiting until my orders involving coupons and vouchers arrived, but now I'm really jealous and they're still not here

I forgot about that Eurovision / STDs conversation... that'll have to be continued one day, I feel.

[Tintintin]

I was in attendance, but unfortunately, I had an attack of the shy-and-retirings, and didn't feel sufficiently emboldened (or drunk) to blunder into conversation with people who all seemed to know each other. That's the peril of being a bit of a Johnny-Come-Lately to virtual community things like these, I suppose. Still, it was a fun evening, I spent £30 on cards (0 silvers, 2 blacks, many dupes. Bah!), made a couple of trades and recognised one or two people from their Unfictional infamy renown (even if I was too bashful to say hello).

I hereby do solemnly promise not to be such a shrinking violet upon the occasion of there being another UK event that I am able to attend.

[Tintintin]

That's the sort of community spirit that embiggens us all. Except Juxta.
