I think I know what I'm going to come as, but I can't tell you... it's a surprise!

21:26 / 12.10.03

I'm just going to use this thread to congratulate Jack and Spooky for their succesful acquisition of a new home. Sorry I couldn't be there to help you move, I'll see you when I get back. Take care, guys.

[And I still have no idea what I'm going to wear for this dastardly fiendish party-thang]

ephemerat

21:28 / 12.10.03

Damn. Fucking mis-types.

Regrettable Juvenilia

08:30 / 13.10.03

I myself would like to take the opportunity to also congratulate Jack & Spooky for their move, and to apologise for any lack of reply to your txts, Mr Bodiless - usual "no credit on phone, no cash in hand" situation...

I need a werewolf costume. How can I make a werewolf costume?

Seth

16:25 / 13.10.03

You naked + my body hair + glue

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

18:00 / 13.10.03

Looks like I may not be able to make it, man... apparently my flatmate's organised a party here which I should really be at. (Although my housing situation has become a little more complicated in the last hour or so, so this may well be subject to change.)

Jack The Bodiless

11:14 / 14.10.03

But you have to come, stoatman. It's in your contract. I can sue if you don't...

Thanks for the congrats, all. Place is a bit messy right now, but nearly everything works.

Hey, Cass. Hope you're having a good time in the Big Easy...

Jack The Bodiless

10:15 / 16.10.03

So we've got the usual motley Southampton/Winchester lot, plus:

The vampish Cherry Bombshell (plus 1?)
Anna De Logarithm
Flyboy De Trigonometry
Mr Illmatismo, Hero Of The Beach (plus 1?)
Bill Posters Must Be Destroyed
Stoatie, Hero Of The Bee-yatch (if'n I can twist his arm...)
La Plumsbitch as was (finances permitting)
Monomono (do-dooo-de-do-do)
Adamswishing ona monkey's paw (again, finances permitting)

Is that everyone? Come one, come all...

Look, someone's got to help me and suggest something to wear because as it is I have... well, nothing.

Kit-Cat Club

10:43 / 16.10.03

Me neither (if I can nudge in on the +1 ticket) but... zombie sschoolgirls?

Zombie Hermione Granger!

Quantum

12:36 / 16.10.03

Anna, I had no idea you'd considered going as anyone other than Snape, you want suggestions? If you can't do zombie schoolgirls/hogwarts pupils then the next best would be Frank the rabbit from Donnie Darko, if not then Willow as a ghost (vampy PVC covered in a sheet), if not then Baroness Thatcher (the Horror!), if not then an old woman (agh!), if not then Wednesday Adams, if not then Sadduko from Ring, if not then you should come as Elvis.

I could probably do evil Willow but I might smile too much.

Goodness Gracious Meme

14:02 / 16.10.03

w00t! I might be able to get a *lift* down.

With my parents, frighteningly enough.... which might mean i'm at a loose end horrendously early friday afternoon, but am totally happy to help with party sorting/decorating/oddjobs if thats of any use?

adamswish

14:55 / 16.10.03

Adamswishing ona monkey's paw (again, finances permitting)

That would make so much better sense if I intended people to read my name that way.

Unfortunately I never have so it's rather confusing for me. My bad, I really must get round to making it clearer for folks.

And apparently finances are taking me for a drink later as they have big news about my work status and what that may mean to the trip.

Oh and Jack, has potgun said anything about coming down for the party?

I could probably do evil Willow but I might smile too much.

Anna if I found myself in the same position I would be smiling to

Jack The Bodiless

10:13 / 17.10.03

Anna: "I could probably do evil Willow but I might smile too much..."

Evil Willow smiled quite a lot, actually. "Back in my world there were people in chains, and we used to ride them like ponies." "Bad puppy!"

bengali: "...which might mean i'm at a loose end horrendously early friday afternoon, but am totally happy to help with party sorting/decorating/oddjobs if thats of any use?"

Oooh... could be wery wery useful. I am going to be taking the afternoon off work, I think, so yeah, groovy. PM me your current moby number, hon - I appear to have lost it while changing phones to lose The Fuzz...

'swish - good news about your finances. Haven't heard from potguns at all - had assumed that as mixmage wasn't able to give people lifts in the mixmobile that he wasn't able to come... I'm just going to pop off and PM him.

Tryphena Absent

10:39 / 17.10.03

Actually that's Vampire Willow you're quoting. She's cool too but I don't have a black and red corset top. Evil Willow was in evil series six, she accused Buffy of being whiney, nearly killed Dawn, had a drugs-magic problem and tried to end the world by channeling power through a Satanic temple. Marvellous.

_pin

11:41 / 17.10.03

I'm seriously probablly not going to this, but I'm free from about 12 on Friday if you want help.

I could talk about the people I live with, and their sex noises and fucking inability to use a fridge.

Goodness Gracious Meme

19:09 / 20.10.03

bee-yatch:

haven't got a mob atm, but pm me and we can sort something out......(kit-kat and I *may* have come up with a cossie as well...)

Jack The Bodiless

10:14 / 21.10.03

bengali: have PMed you.

Anna: See, I refer to her as Shit Junkie Poorly Written Poorly Acted Hypocrite Whiny Murderer Willow, but that's a matter of taste, I guess...

pin: I'll give you a bell on the afternoon of the party. You can come over and help, and I'll cook you dinner, y'wee waif n' stray. Was going to invite you over last night for a thai curry, but spooks was poorly.

Jack The Bodiless

10:18 / 27.10.03

*BUMP*

Forgot to mention when I PMed the lot of you - anyone coming who's staying the night, it'd be really useful if you could bring a sleeping bag or blanket if you have one. We have a futon sofa, a chaise longue, a couple of armchairs and the floor. Logistics mean that some will have to sleep on our beautiful but hard floorboards, but I've acquired a few extra duvets, which means that there will be makeshift mattresses to prevent it getting too uncomfortable. We also have two spare sleeping bags.

And we'll be taking it easier than previously planned - probably only going all Friday night/Saturday morning. This is mostly because a mate's just informed me he's having his stag night bender on the Saturday and Sunday, and I'd like to be physically capable of going to meet up with them later on...

11:46 / 27.10.03

AS you probably have guessed by now, i'm not gooiing to be able to make it down but I'm sure you'll all have a wonderful time.

Goodness Gracious Meme

13:26 / 27.10.03

woo! have come up, with help of sis/bro, with fantastic cossie idea, now just have to make it.

Mum: i'll give you a bell when i get to Soton central (will be coming Hove way so won't go pass St.Denys...) prolly about 2ish...

Jack The Bodiless

10:07 / 29.10.03

Woo! Good stuff, bengali... sorry to hear you can't make it, sleaze... also sorry puir wee stoatie can't make it either. Boo, hiss, etc. Any more slackers will be In Trouble.

Tryphena Absent

10:14 / 29.10.03

I have a terrible cold and might not be able to come but it's only Wednesday so I'm not quite saying I won't be there yet.

Quantum

10:21 / 29.10.03

Get well soon or we'll chain you up and ride you like a pony.
JtB, J&I won't be staying over (so more space for waifs 'n strays) as we have to get back Friday night (plans on Saturday) but rest assured we'll be there in cossies for an evening of fun. As long as I find out where you live before Friday, otherwise I'll just shadow Elseware until he leads me straight to you, like the cunning P.I. I secretly am.

Ariadne

10:44 / 29.10.03

Sooorrree, can't come. I've/ We've put off posting to see how things panned out with our plans but it's just not going to happen. Apologies - hope it's wild.

Jack The Bodiless

11:00 / 29.10.03

Q - we live around the corner from Elseware, and five minutes from St. Denys station. Is easy.

Anna - why must you make me cry so? Why?

Ari - shall we never see you again? Like, ever?

Jack The Bodiless

10:53 / 30.10.03

*BUMP. CRASH. ow... *

Haven't heard from anyone apart from bengali about arrangments, so I'll assume that anyone who's coming tomorrow is going to call/text me at some point in the next 24 hours, or has figured out how to get to where I live from the address I PMed around with.

I'll only have time to check email, PMs and this thread tomorrow lunchtime very briefly, so please don't ask for information via these media - I've PMed all who were interested in coming my mobile number. Anyone who's lost my number in the interim or who wants to come at the last minute, absolute last chance to get details is tomorrow lunchtime.

Cheers, guys, hope to see some of you tomorrow...

Kit-Cat Club

11:09 / 30.10.03

Jack, I am coming, but have no mobile at the moment, so if you get a call from a random phone box that'll be me, lost in the wilds... of St Denys...

Squirmelia

11:26 / 30.10.03

What sort of time are people planning to get there?

Quantum

13:59 / 30.10.03

Prob'ly seven or eight or so for me.

Tryphena Absent

14:15 / 30.10.03

I feel awful, my lungs are full of phlegm but I might make it but I will probably wear something normal if I do and grannyish. Like a big jumper and earmuffs.

illmatic

14:16 / 30.10.03

Jack - I is coming. Note to self - Must not forget sleeping bag.

_pin

16:22 / 30.10.03

I'll be in the centre of town around twoish, and will be meeting Camel around then... ish. I have a rough idea where Ben lives, ish, and will gladly lead you like the Pied Piper.

I also have a sleeping bag, if you need it.

_pin

16:27 / 30.10.03

By the way: PM me or Camel or some other people if you need my number. This is, obviously, far too late to be doing anything like this.
