Saturday Shopping & Furmeet
Jul. 17th, 2011 01:26 amHad an unexpectedly good day today. Saw a good offer on a Sony Blu-Ray player on Richer Sound's site so went into town to pick one up. Never owned a Blu-ray player before as I've relied on downloading to get HD films but I had always intended to get a Blu-ray player at some point when the price was right. I wondered around some of the shops for some films to watch on the new player but ended up not bothering as online prices are probably better. Instead, I did pick up some drinks from the local American import shop including Coke Zero Vanilla, Grape NOS, Pitch Black Mtn Dew and some IBC Root Beer and also some Pepsi Max Cherry from Asda as I hadn't had a chance to try it yet.
As I was in town, I joined the furs at the local Southampton Hantsfur meet. There were around 12 people there, but I knew literally 4 of them (Laz, DeeJay, Stokes and Wrath). Coincidentally, one of the people I didn't know there was Scribe, who I had noticed the day before getting the same train as me who I had identified as a fur due to them wearing an RBW t-shirt but I didn't say anything as I was with work colleagues. What's weirder is that she's been getting the same train from the same station I have for about the past 2 years and have never known! Kinda ironic that we only find this out when I'm moving away from the area in a few weeks!
Shortly after meeting up and much loitering, we went off to The Hobbit which is a pub quite near me which is a more geeky kinda pub as the name suggests. I got completely drenched on the walk there due to a surprise downpour so went home to drop off the shopping and change clothes before going back to the pub. Got nicely wobbly whilst there having had 2 pints of lager and a pint of "Gollum" (one of the themed house cocktails). Some people left, others joined us like Jowgenetsu and AndySquirrel and the remainder of us went to KFC for food before ending up at my place to watch How To Train Your Dragon.
All in all, it was a rather nice day where I hadn't really expected to do much. Was nice to have some people over to my place as despite having my own place for almost 3 years, I've rarely had anyone over. Hopefully that'll change when I move to my new place which is happening rather soon now!
