Meetage

[slycat]

I went to the LondonFur meet today and to my suprise, I actually had a good time!  What made it good was not that it was a furry meet, it was good about it was that a number of other people who hadn't gone in ages also decided to make their reapparance at this meet.  So, amongst others, I had a good time in the company of xendragon, growf, abinturongbinks, bhavfox, nonezumi and makali.  The meet was held in the Bell Book and Candle pub near St Paul's Cathedral which was a sort of horror themed pub where everything was black and they had screaming sounds piped into the toilets.  I helped myself to a "Monster Burger" which is 12oz of beef patties combined with a healthy dose of cheese and two pieces of bacon for good measure.  It was only £5.75ish and so for value for money, I recommend it.  Very tasty :)  Also in the pub was a vast number of people I didn't reckognise, many of them were the horny teenagers I predicted in my previous post but there was also a number of girls at the meet which was rather strange.  After pub and alcohol consumption, we buggered off to Namco for some pool and random games.  Beat Glis in 2 out of 2 games of Outrun 2 (great game!) and he thrashed me at Dancing Stage (I was happy to have the exercise and burn that burger off to be honest).  Time passed and before I knew it, it was 8pm and so Xen and I headed for Waterloo.

True, I didn't do a heck of a lot at the meet.  I also didn't really talk to anyone other than those I know but still, I enjoyed myself.  I expect I might well go again depending on who else attends.  I think the furry bug has bitten me again as I've returned to IRC and am not finding it a totally tedious experience.

Oh, also Xen and I have the same shoes (black/red Vans trainers) which was kinda weird.

Is it true you're living in Portsmouth now?"

No? What gives you that idea?

I'd heard one or two of my old friends had moved to portsmouth, and for some reason I thought you were one of them. Silly me ;)

Was nice to finally meet you, even if I am just the 'ginger madman'. :P

That's a misquote, I specifically called you Dave Gorman :P

Sorry about not spending much time nattering with you which I would have liked. Maybe next time.

You've not heard of him before? He's a very funny chap. I recommend getting hold of his books.
