slycat | Weekend update

I thought I'd make an LJ post about the great weekend I had. Basically, it was the weekend if the LondonFur meet which I hadn't got to for a while. There were lots of great people at the meet who I got to chat with including

kiroo who I hadn't seen in absolute yonks,

hawx,

rasetsugalford,

bhavfox,

durandal2uk and lots of other great people. Was able to have lots of great chats with folks at the meet, one highlight of which was Galford's talk about Japan... With the way he tells his stories, he could do standup comedy rather well. Certainly better than people I've seen at Jongleurs, but that's not really saying much.

Before the meet, I visited CyberCandy to pick up some root beer. This time round, I got the oppertunity to try Hires Root Beer, which I've not had before. It's apparantly the first commercially available root beer. I can say that the taste was actually quite similar to the IBC root beer I had the month before, possibly not quite a strong taste however but certainly a very good root beer :). I also got some more Cinnamon Altoids and some random chocolates and things.

After the meet at the pub, a small group of us went off to Wagamamas on the South Bank where I had Chicken Katsu Curry (same as last time I visited the place in Birmingham). What's noteworthy however is that I seem to have mastered eating it with chopsticks (which I've never bothered to use before) which was an accomplishment :). After food, we went to Namco where I failed miserably at bowling against Bhav and Hawx. Didn't actually play any other games but was good to have another good chat with folks.

Not a whole lot happened specifically but I really enjoyed the company I had for that meet, certainly a good one in my books. Next one I'll be at will be the one on 17th June as I'll be visiting folks during the next meet. I find it's good to not go to every fur meet anyway as it makes them more fresh.
